Hmmph. I am not impressed.

Who knows how many people are gunna hate me for saying this, but oh well.

The gameplay i experienced in the Crysis demo, a demo which should be flaunting the best gameplay possible to attract buyers, sucked.

Things i hate:

AI sucks:
They can see you from 10000 miles away.
When your running by them and there shooting at you, they go from sucking to killing you instantly every second.
They run around way too much.
They spot you even if your finger is sticking out of behind a rock.
They suck compared to the AI in Farcry, because it was much funner to sneak around in Farcry, you could blend in with your sceniory, and the guards would stop looking for you if you sat still long enough.

Shooting:
The realistic 'swaying' isnt fun. While yes, it is realistic, it makes aiming really hard.
No bullets even hit! I can be 5 feet away and the recoil is rediculous and it shakes your screen and stuff.
The guns are hard to pick up if your in hurry because you have to aim right at them to pick them up.
Your energy runs out way to quickly for a SP game.
And again, the accuracy of all the guns just completely blow.

And MOST of all:
Driving:
I give driving in this game a freakin 0.
First of all, the jeeps are out of control! Theres either WICKED oversteer, or theres not enough steering.
You run into rocks/trees way to much.
Your car blows up way to easy.
It's a pain in the ass to enter a car, because once again, you need to be on the right side and aim at the door just right to enter. <- BF2 style entry would be wonderful here.
Switching seats is a pain also.

Suit:
The suit command rose thing isnt impressive to me either.
I HATE how your gun fires when you click on the Suit option you want, because the whole point of going cloak is not to be fucking detected!


Overall, i just couldn't keep playing the SP demo, cause it kept pissing me off.

Does anyone else notice these things, or is everyone just concerned with how beautiful it looks. Cause thats pretty much all i can give them for this game, good graphics. And shootable trees are kinda fun.

1. I never had problems with sneaking past the bots?
2. Yes, the firing the guns in crysis is like firing rubber bullets.
3. Yes energy does run out a tad fast, but still adapt or either go fix it in the game files
4. Accuracy could have been better, I agree.
5. Driving does suck
6. Cars are fine, how would your pick-up fair if you threw 2 nades under it? I think what you mean is that it blows up quickly after a few shots, that might be because they hit the little ''gas tank'' on the rear.
7. Just get to the fuckin right side of the car, it isnt that much of a hassle.
8. Switch seats? Wow press 1,2,3,4, not that hard right?
9. I dunno, but the suit command rose is middle mouse button here which isnt a fire or alternative fire button so how come it fires on your PC?

1. I dont know they always spot me instantly.
6. I mean like how the driving sucks, and when you hit a rock it throws you into a tree and your car explodes. The car takes way too much damage from the scenery not the bots.
7.  When your running from a bunch of bots it is.
8. I was used to pressing the F# buttons i guess.

I dislike most everything you disliked, just not as adamantly.  The enemy seeing you stuff was fucked up though.  There are places where you can stand in the open 20-30 feet from a group and they'll not see you.  Take one more step though, and it's like you tripped an alarm.  It's a so-so game with wonderful graphical detail.  Just like FarCry.

My biggest gripes come well after where the demo leaves off, but I don't wish to spoil anything.  Suffice to say that when I replay the game in SP, it'll be up until the end of the jungle stuff.  Once the game goes completely sci-fi, it sucks.  IMO of course.

wow you fail.

AI was the best I've ever seen, weapons feel great and the suit command rose was quick, easy and precise.

note how he reviewed the demo when the game had been released for weeks, most of the shit he is complaining about is a lot better in the actual game.
