Talk:Crysis (video game)

message: Here is a game that is praised for having the best graphics in the history of gaming, and yet the screen shot for the plot is of a black void with a glowing green thing in the middle. What happened to the lucious forests, with the dust gently settling on the ground? What happened to the cystal clear waters with the light bouncing of the coral reefs? --Simpsons fan 66 04:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In that image the main character is sky diving out of an airplane, so you are in the middle of the air in the middle of the night. Theres not much to see until you get to the ground. The purpose of the image is to show the alien creature that disrupts the main characters jump, causing him to lose his position with the rest of the team and landing a good distance from the others.

message: Should we list the Xbox 360 Controller & the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows even though there is absolutely nothing different about them? I wouldn't want someone to read this and think they have to get the one sold specifically for Windows and pay more than they should have to. If they have Vista it will recognize the controller automatically but if they have XP or lower they would need to download drivers for free from Microsoft's website. --The Virginian (talk) 12:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: tiberium uses unreal 3, the rumors that it was using ce2 are false.  that being said, its POSSIBLE in the same sense that anything is possible, however the devs as well as the publisher has said many times that there is no development on a console version at this time.  anyway, to be put on the page it needs to be CONFIRMED first, not speculation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.14.153 (talk) 07:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Rumors, both ways. Mr. Yerli has said that there is very little chance of a console port; however, Crytek has been working on a console game for a few years now, so their porting of the CryENGINE2 is logical. This in no way means they are developing Crysis for consoles. · AndonicO Engage.</sup> 20:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crysis for Xbox 360? 

message: Am I the only one who thinks that it is unlikely he dies? There's something strange about him after the aliens drag him off initially, and the fact that he grabs a gun and flies straight back to the island (without you seeing his fate) suggests he's gone off to do some sort of personal mission.
In addition, he seems too.. mystical.. in the aircraft carrier to just go and get himself killed by a nuke. His codename Prophet implies he knows what to do, although that is of course speculation.
However, to remain encyclopedic I don't think we can state that he's probably killed, all we know is that we don't know what happens to him. (217.43.255.179 (talk) 19:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: you know there are better places to ask this question than the wikipedia discussion page.  go to start and the games tab on the right side of the start menu if under vista, if under xp than it should install an icon to your desktop automatically, if no just go into the install folder and make a shortcut of the crysis.exe file in bin32.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.14.153 (talk) 09:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I suggest adding a reference to the review of crysis by Ben Croshaw, views Crysis as a pretty but "somewhat above average" fps shooter (see the review at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Punctuation#Zero_Punctuation. It's another example to give a more balanced "reception" section, because the other reviews (Gamespot, PC Gamer) are so skewed to the maximum score. Zero Punctuation praises the graphics and nano suit, but critisises the vehicles controlling, the overall lineairity of the game, the game has too many controls and that you need a high end pc.

replies: text: I don't really see the need for this.  The article already includes the X-Play review which was sufficiently guarded.  Reviews have overwhelmingly been positive but cautious about the ferocious hardware requirements, and that's reflected accurately and reasonably in the current state of the article.  Furthermore, this "Zero Punctuation" is hardly as notable as the other, already-included, reviews. Xihr (talk) 21:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

This is because of the Securom protection, if you do a search you'll find lots of people with similar problems where the DVD drive can't recognize the disc
It is important to point out these things so game publishers will stop using Securom and other systems like it

replies: text:  If it is noteworthy enough, then it might be worth mentioning.  This does not sound like it passes the test (and at any rate his statement was clearly too POV).  All software has problems, and all protection systems cause problems to some extent.  There is already an extensive (and probably POV) article on Securom as it is; complaints, no matter how small, don't need to be mentioned in every software package that uses it; that has WP:UNDUE problems.  Xihr  06:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The first screenshot of Crysis, [], is a non-free 800x600 sized image. According to Wikipedia's strict copyright policy shouldn't it, you know, be resized to 300 pixels wide so you practically need a magnifying glass to see it? Since there's been no image left unturned in that regard you better do it, fast. Like everyone else. You're falling behind. You don't want to be the laughing stock because you left this photo ridiculously high resolution do you?

message: : It said in the game and in the article (I changed it) that the KPA nano suits are just cheap knock offs! This does not seem true at all. They can take a lot more damage and do the same things as you (such as max power, speed, and strength). With max strength on it takes 4 or 5 punches to bring them down. Before you enter the anti-gravity place one of them knocks you out with one punch. How is this right?--75.161.59.58 (talk) 23:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not sure if the Chinese suits ARE inferior, but when Nomad first encounters the Chinese nano-suits, that's how he describes them. That might not be a direct quote from the game, but he does state that the Chine suits are inferior. kkmic (talk) 11:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I just played that part of the game, and what Nomad says is that the Korean suits "look like cheap knock-offs". So, it seems like he's really knocking the design aesthetics of the KPA suits (which look much less streamlined than the US versions, functionality notwithstanding).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.254.30 (talk) 04:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

message: While the plot is still probably unnecessarily long, are any of the sections that list the separate factions in the game even remotely necessary? They seem to me just to restate what is in the plot section. I'm a little leery of simply going ahead and deleting it all. Maybe a Setting section could be added before the plot that briefly summarizes the different factions? It could probably also siphon a bit off of the plot section so it isn't so large.

Reason I ask is because I just edited Supersoldier to change the text there.  I admit I don't recall when or where, but at some point in the game Psycho is said to have originated from the SAS, and yet he is serving in the same group as Nomad - that would imply that the group recruits from all walks of life, and that Nomad came from Delta Force, but is not now serving with them  Chaheel Riens (talk) 13:06, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
