I'm bummed about Crysis 4 being put in hold. And retrospectively, gamers are to blame.
I remember being a Crysis outsider and hearing gamers perpetuating this notion that each Crysis game was worse than the last one.
That was wrong, deeply wrong. The games get better with each sequel and 3 had the perfect balance of stealth vs balls to the wall action. Playing the games with gyro aiming is awesome too.
I'm so bummed out that Crysis 4 didn't happen back then and now has been out on hold.
Also if you believed the first game was the best because of open plan levels, ur wrong. It meant you choose a different angle to approach the metal shack. Then when aliens appear the game takes a notable turn for the worse.
Yeah, didn’t really get the hate for Crysis 2 and 3 either. Thought they were both pretty enjoyable games.
MS should buy Sony so I can play PS games on the Switch 2.
You crazy? Switch 2 can't handle PS games; not even PC can do that!
We can start off either PS4 and 3 games
Which one was that?

Split Fiction Dev Knows "A Lot" About Switch 2, But Can't Say Anything Yet.

So I was thinking about gyro drift in FPS games.
Doom and Wolfenstein have a reset button you press when it drifts.
Doom Eternal doesn't have a reset button which puzzled me at first as it never drifts. And then I remembered, Crysis doesn't drift and the RE games don't drift. Then I realised why, the games uses (like most fps) both sticks and gyro for extra fine aiming. When the reticule shifts to an extreme angle you naturally just move it back to the centre of the screen with the stick. It's second nature, and then the gyro just works relative to where you've already positioned the cursor. It's a neat trick and I'm unsure why other developers haven't worked it out yet.
Also, has anyone tried Skyward sword Switch gyro for the bird? It's totally f-ed up and I've never seen it mentioned before.
I think its a better game for including new elements outside of just shooting.
It feels like it has more exploration and I enjoy the platforming too.
Helps that it's visually great too, even on switch.
I think they over played it on upgrades, things to collect. And there are too many elements like flame belching and stuff. I wish the weapon wheel would just freeze the screen entirely.
The lock on for the rocket launcher is much harder to use. And the level design can feel a touch unfair when overwhelmed with enemies and you get stuck in a corner or doorway, or some piece of architecture.
I hate those snake like dudes.
Wathing Commando on Disney Plus. Ahh, the classics.
Been playing this. It was only £3.79, lowest price ever. Very cool so far, reminds me of DEX, another Cyberpunk 2D rpg.
This game has robots ruling the world and you are a Seeker who has to infiltrate a cult of murderers who worship Baba Yaga.
It has tons of side missions and characters to talk to. Decent platforming and basic stealth elements. It also has adventure game aspects such as odd puzzles and an inventory system that works just like an adventure game.
Also bought Extra Coin for £2.95
It's a fairly recent release I've been keeping my eye on and I'm happy it was discounted so soon. It's a 2D pixel art adventure game.
I think it may have been made by Chinese developers and the vibes are spot on so far. Your parents have disappeared into the Matrix like VR world where humans can choose to live forever.
The colours and artwork is beautiful, the music is on point and the story so far is decent. I can tell I'm going to like this one a lot.
I was so disappointed with Crysis 2 after having played the original and its expansion that I've never replayed 2, nor even bought 3.
While I did enjoy the aliens part of C1, the game was at its best as a sandbox while fighting soldiers.
C2 utterly confused me because of the direction I thought the story was heading in by the end of the first game. Plus, it feels far more linear, you can only restock ammo at ammo piles, IIRC (instead of using enemy weapons to do so), some of the enemies are far too powerful (IMO), and I often couldn't distinguish a loading screen from an informational/story screen. Then again, it's been a very long time, so the game might go over better with me now.
I wanted to get the trilogy on console, but Crysis 1's awesome expansion isn't included, and a mission was cut from the C1 remaster.
Get them trilogy, I don't know what platforms you own but if the ps4 or Xbox version have gyro aiming, go for it.Crysis 3 seems to have partially gone back to Crysis 1. There are large semi open environments, but still has tight gameplay moments of 2.
And they enable you to use stealth a lot if you prefer.
In terms of story I felt that Crysis 1 didn't really have one.
2 and 3 build on it much more and have more personality for me.
I checked out the DkC Returns HD demo. I'll be picking that one up for a triple dip soon.
I also tried out the Donkey Kong Returns HD demo snd think I'll be picking it up later this week.
I'm also nearly finished with Ninja Gaiden II Black.
I know the HD version has taken some shit from us gamers. But trying the demo reminded me of how high quality the game is. It shines in HD too.
I won't buy it, but it has my respect.
Have been kind of bouncing around this weekend when it comes to gaming. Played some Street Fighter 5 along with a few games from Capcom Arcade Stadium 1 and 2.
