The pc kids love it. Using controllers > graphics tho imo


Yeah it's sad that we don't have the technology to use controllers on PC in this day and age.

Oh wait.....

NO. ONLY CONSOLE GAMERS CAN USE CONTROLLERS.

Yeah in most shooters you have superhuman strength, superhuman agility and the ability to turn invisible.

Yeah I don't think TC has a good grasp of the English language.

Wow, so it has gimmicks.

Here is the thing -

Every FPS has a gimmick.

It doesn't keep them from being any less generic.

The FPS genre is a generic genre. Period.

I hated it. It was entertaining for about 10 minutes with shiny graphics, then it just became dull.

We can use controllers too, it's just that using a mouse is far more accurate.

Except that isn't a gimmick. Platformer+jumping is an actual thing. It is the end-all of that genre. You either have it, or you don't.

FEAR had the whole psychic gimmick. And the "horror" dark setting. Any less generic? Barely. It was still just an FPS game. Had maybe the smartest FPS enemy AI I've seen tho.

It doesn't detract from how fun Crysis is, but it is STILL generic. Aliens, supersuited heroes, special suit powers. Sounds familiar. I keep thinking of the number 7 for some reason now.

MP or not the story looks good and fun and I'll probably pick it up.

You're right. I forgot. If you hate a genre, then unique traits that set the games apart are just "gimmicks".

I hate to be arrogant, but I wish everyone was as open-minded as me and wasn't shackled to certain genres.
