    Doesn't sound very welcoming

    I'm looking forward to this, but first I have to upgrade my PC, and play Crysis 2.

    So disappointing after much hype. I still think it will be fun, though, just not worth the full price tag right now. We will have to wait +-6 months for the prices to be reduced enough to warrant the purchase.

    scores aren't that bad...and the low ones...well never heard of them. and also. reviews are just like movie critics. take them for what they are worth and expierence it yourself.

    I, for one, is looking forward to this release.

    But the general opinion is that its a shorter SP and only really worth the graphics.

    I'm not paying R400 for art, I can wait for a price fall.

    Ditto, the 5 hour campaign is the deal breaker.

    Another thing that worries me:
    Almost every combat encounter involved a variation of the following: shoot enemy with bow; wait for enemy to investigate body; shoot investigator; repeat. It didn't matter whether I was fighting humans or Ceph. Just about everyone under the Liberty Dome is suicidally curious. It makes each new area more like a to-do list than anything else.

    ...

    Even without the bow, enemies are too easy to fool, and it's trivial to use the upgrade points you find to focus exclusively on increasing your cloaking abilities and energy reserves. Occasionally, Crysis 3 finds its footing and returns to form, particularly in the latter half of the game, when Crytek contrives reasons to use your other suit abilities and non-arrow-powered equipment.

    It's frustrating, because later battles only serve to underline how much wasted opportunity is present in Crysis 3. There are moments of greatness, particularly when a clever environmental layout is paired with capable enemies, which forced me to really consider my options rather than skulk around like some kind of serial murderer. It would have been even nicer to see some of the more powerful enemies paired up with larger numbers of infantry units, as the game rarely turns the odds against you

    Haven't played Crysis 2 yet? Hmm. I'm trying to get into it again, but... The stutters I get make playing it very unpleasant.
    I know I've mentioned this a good number of times - when I'm walking, (because of performance) looks like I'm walking with a limp. First time I played that game, I never experienced that.

    On another note: IMPO, Crysis game become more of "moving art", than a game. It's visually very appealing, but lacks in duration of gameplay.

    Getting mine on Friday I don't really care if it has a shorter Campaign. After the "short" campaign I'll be spending most of my time on the MP side anyway. And according to the reviewers its great.... That's good enough for me
