Personally I enjoyed the setting shift and think they should have done it again with 3 instead of blending the first 2 games setting together, I also really enjoyed the more linear cinematic blockbuster movie feel 2 gave off as I love games that, i like the first game for sure but for me crysis 2 sits up there with the og modern warfare series campaigns for that big bombastic movie feel thanks to all the dramatic action set pieces

Enemy is boring in 2

One thing I think we all can agree about Crysis 2 is that hans zimmermann theme during the nanosuit trailer slaps so damn hard

Really enjoyed Crysis 2; it was the first Crysis I played, and did so on PS3. It was neat to see 2 parties (CELL and the Seph) fighting each other, while also fighting you as well. There's a certain realism in this series I found hugely compelling. The story, voice acting (Hargreave, for example), and music were awesome. Crysis 2 felt to me like playing a giant summer sci-fi blockbuster movie in game form, and got me into the rest of the series.

But what about the enemy AI. There's one attention to detail you missed when you shoot at the enemies. Much like in killzone 2 where the enemies react to being hit by the bullets crysis 2 dded much more customized hit reactions. Like you see enemies rebound off of walls, they fall over, they Toppled over each other and even take cover in a dynamic way To make it look like they're actually panicking around

​​@@BlackstarHalo4 see I had the opposite experience. In fairness, I only played the remasters on PS5, but C1 and C3 felt like slogs to me. They're amazing games, don't get me wrong, but I get the most joy out of replaying C2. C2's more linear level design felt like it was funneling you from arena to arena, and I feel like those situations are where these games shine the most. But to each their own, I'm glad I played all of them, and will be giving them a try again on PC once I finish building a rig to run them. Controller definitely feels like it's holding the games back, and they'd be better on MNK. Bonus: you want a really wacky experience, try the switch ports. It ain't great, but better than you'd expect lol. Edit: I will say that I find the sprint in C2 and 3 to be horrible compared to C1. C1 really made you feel fast as fuck. C2 sprint felt like a waste of energy, and C3 sprint was just sad.

C2 as a linear game is amazing its my favorite in the series, C3 is my second favorite i love playing as a stealth badass.I wish the big "open world" areas in c3 were all integrated into one giant map so we had assignments rather than chapters i loved using the buggy to go around the map i'm sure C3 remake on ps5 could make that possible. c2 still holds up as one of the most beautiful games i've ever seen that still holds up to this day that intro cutscene gets you so hyped into the story too, c3 was super fun in the multiplayer, c2 was grenades galore and kinda tough for the casual to enjoy but the graphics are better than most games today of course i speak of the og versions I couldn't really play c1 when it came out so i bought the remaster in hopes to beat it but i can't play.The controls are stiff and slow, the visuals in c2 are a bit off too since they pulled down the bloom and changed the green/blue filter to cozy warm colors for the remaster, the glass and water surfaces got less shiny and glossy looking too thats the first detail i missed but thats alright the gameplay is still a beast and fluid

Crysis is very underrated in terms of gameplay features a head of its time...

My head cannon as where alcatraz store his ammo is since the suit is somewhat organic he just store them in his suit

I gotta be honest, Crysis 2 has grown on me and I enjoy it even to this day. I played the Remastered version twice and had a blast. In my opinion, Crysis 2 did the cinematic action movie thing better than the COD campaigns while also making things open ended enough for the player. Crysis 2's levels are like Deus Ex levels. Still linear but it still gives the player options on pathways. Plus Crysis 2 has amazing sound design. The main them by Hans Zimmer needs no introduction. Oh and the gun sounds + animations make them fun to shoot. Cell soldiers spurt blood and alien pop and explode when you kill them. The combat just feels the right type of weighty and impactful. Overall, I think the actual combat itself is better than in the original in terms of the shooting and enemy variety.

Crysis 2 was the smart direction to go. I for one value the tradeoff for more visceral combat over expansive levels that ultimately made you bored on half the route options anyway. C2 also has aged the best of the 3

If people can experience these games for the first time, I wonder what they would pick.

As someone who's playing them for the first time with the Remastered versions (I still gotta play 3) it's hard to say. I love the expansive levels on Crysis 1 and the methodical approach you've gotta have for each encounter (specially in Delta), but Crysis 2 is a lot of fun to play. Alcatraz feels like an unstoppable force, whereas Nomad felt like a human). They're so very different you can't even count them as being of the same franchise. I'd rank them equally tbh, I'll come back here after playing and finishing the 3rd and give a final opinion game.

was waiting for this lets go also cant wait for CR3 one

5:09 : Really? I love the anime Berserk. I thought the armor was to hold in place, not healing him.

Whys is the audio in game all over the place?

This was a really good video man, ima sub.

I'm not sure if you'll include it in the next review, but a Datapad in Crysis 3 reveals that Nomad is still alive. Great editing and video dude!

I loved the game but I always shit my pants when CEPH entered the chat. Multiplayer is a fond memory of mine. I played it regularly and even "prestiged" (reset the lvl to 0). Since I have no playtime in crysis 1 the game was great for me.

Crysis 2 was certainly different from the original. But that's why it's called making a sequel and not making literally the same game again. I loved it!

I think you already nailed the reasons for the controversy in the intro: Crysis was just so different from other games, especially in those parts were you fight human enemies. The later games were more "mundane" with regards to the enemies and the gameplay.

C2 does alot of things better than the original Considering c1 development was a mess and cut alot in the last year of development

The Nanosuit actually turned Alcatraz into Prophet after you get out of the spore. Alcatraz ends up dying, and the nanosuit simply revives the body and the copy of Prophets consciousness stored in the suits deep layers simply takes over, causing the nanosuit to believe itself to be prophet. In Crysis 3 Psycho actually alludes to the body inside the nanosuit no longer being Alcatraz, as he asks "Whose face are you even wearing under there nowadays" when he has a meltdown, implying that he just changes the body under the suit whenever the current body is too damaged.

6:33 Fun fact: You could do the same in Crysis one to an extend: double tapping melee or spring activated strength or speed modes. Very useful in multiplayer!

The lack of having a friend to setup the opening is were they missed theybset it up right with sub getting hit and having ta bail but maybe they gave us the suit to soon taking away the danger i know ole boy was infected with the virus and goanna die but imagine if he saved us and we werent critically injured and we spent alil time choosing between taking care of him cuase hes dieing as a regular marine until he dies and leaves the suit in or hands it was just to lonely from the beginning especially when you start off with the fellow guys on the sub

Crysis 2 is my favorite of the franchise. I love the fast, tight gameplay, the weapons feel well balanced and all are useful, the levels don’t overstay their welcome, enemies both CELL and Ceph are a blast to fight, and the suit… oh my god, the Nanosuit 2.0 is my absolute, honest to god, favorite armor in ALL OF FICTION. It never feels overpowered. TTK is relatively low; if you take a big barrage of gunfire unarmored, you’ll die. Big enemies like Gunships, Humvees, Devastators, Pingers and the Guardians still feel like they pose a real threat. Yeah, cloak is OP, but it lasts like 10-15 seconds in movement, less if you’re sprinting. And the game overall is still absolutely beautiful. Opening the first door in Second Chance and seeing the City back in 2011 is a formative memory for me. God i love C2

We can't forget about that soundtrack either!

Making the Seth more viable to be fought stealthily was a mistake in my eyes. The way they build Crysis 2, you build 1 type of playstyle and cruise through the game. In Crysis 1 you had to switch it up. Which gives the game more depth. Also, as far as I remember Prophet did nót survive taking off the suit. The suit simply had adopted his personality. The prophet in the suit is not the same prophet as the person.

Is it just me, or is the in-game audio choppy?

IMO, Crysis 2 has the best setting for the nanosuit powers. The enclosed spaces make it difficult to get by without it.

It's not just the pistol but any weapon with a Silencer

I thought the devs stated he was alive.

crysis 2 was the first shooter i played, and i love it to bits. obv not as good as the first and the third one, but still its very cool and innovative in comparison to its competitors at the time.

I think Crysis 2 literally has one of the most unique Multiplayer back then when it is still up. There is so much versatility when everyone can use a Nanosuit really. But man I do kinda miss the Crysis series as Halo and Destiny is still the only SciFi super soldier kinda games people play online.

killzone 2 had a cover system you had to use to survive

Crysis wars multi was the best game I ever played, I was a bit of a pro, I found awesome glitches, had the time of my life on that game with many great memories.

I feel it did dumb down a lot of what made Crysis so fun. Crysis Wars was an amazing multiplayer mode that I severely miss :(

It's quite simple why Crysis 2 steered off the expected course. The console generation at the time. Crytek wanted to cash in on that audience and thus radically adjusted their approach to game development, in many ways detrimental to what made Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead so good. C2 and C3 are still great action shooter games though, just that C1 and Warhead are in their own league.

personally loved crysis 2

Best thing about Crysis 2 is the ost also its very immersive game. Lots of detail put in. Like how alcatraz cant speak because he got hit in his throat also how he grunts and breathes painfully when you jump etc because his lungs are damaged fatally yet the suit keeps him alive. Also it has a masculine heroic story of pushing on no matter what! Really bad ass game. Tho i dont like crysis 3.

If C2 was a standalone title, it could have succeeded - had all the hallmarks of a generic CoD clone so it would have sold as well as one. The problem was of course that it was titled as a sequel to C1, which pissed off the majority of the fans and didn't appeal to the CoD scene in its advertising, so C2 lost on both counts. I don't know how they scrounged the money for C3 with this kind of flop.

Crysis 3 was my favorite one funnily enough. The huge battles with big monsters and tons of super cool alien guns was so cool. The density of environments and the huge overgrown New York with tons of plants and water looked awesome and the multiplayer was also very fun, playing like a much better Black Ops 3. Crysis 1 and Warhead are both good games, but they end up just being linear anyways so it doesn’t bother me much. Although I see the complaints from then, when every game is super good and you can only play so many during a recession, a game that’s lacking content and replay ability makes little sense financially if both cod and Crysis are $60. But it absolutely makes sense to pirate the daylights out of.

I love all 3 Crysis games, OG is best, but 2 and 3 are amazing.

Please do a Crysis 3 video!

Played it again recently because I never finished 1 I surprisingly love 2 more than 1. I thought 1 was kinda boring, maybe because I was spoiled by better open sandbox shooter/stealth game like Metal Gear Solid V that has better shooting mechanic, better stealth, and better overall system.

I played through all 3 games from beginning to end in about a week or two, Crysis 2 actually seemed to be the best one out of all 3, and Crysis 3 being the worst one out of all the games in my opinion. Very uncommon to see a sequel being better than the original title, but maybe thats just me.

Try Crysis 3. It's a big improvement on Crysis 2 in every way.

Crysis 2 was my first and favorite but enjoyed 1 & 3.

Gameplay wise I think Crysis 3 is probably the most refined and the best. In terms of everything else though I say Crysis 2 nailed it best out of them all. From the story to the soundtrack and the action set piece. I actually enjoy replaying 2 out of the rest of the trilogy. I think I actually prefer the more linear level design in 2. The more open ended levels in 1 and 3 can be a bit aimless at time, and can be a slog when replaying. There’s just not much substance in them. It just feels better when you’re just moving from arenas to arenas in 2. I feel like Crysis 2 really nail that epic blockbuster action movie feel

I loved Crysis 2, I didn’t have a pc so i played it on Xbox. It was a better “Spartan 3” experience than Halo Reach which felt like a modded version of halo 3 in comparison.

Cysis 2 graphics was ahead of its time 2 years before PS4 and Xbox one had these graphics like The Order 1886, driveclub, uncharted 4 a thief end, horizon zero dawn and ghosts of tsushima

i didnt play very far into this game

It was a bulky fps for consoles... I did not enjoy it that much. They designed it differently than the PC first game that was designed first and foremost for PC. I dont know I think they lost the plot with the Aliens. The big thing that I loved with the first was the sneaking around and causing havoc untill the Aliens. Its still a good action game at its core. I was hoping the sequel would reduce the Aliens and build upon the first games powers and abilities in a natural way. Sadly I think we got something that regressed in all areas with the exception of grafics and music. It was even more difficult to stealth around properly. So the second game was the weakest of the three and Crysis 1 and its expansion are still the best.

Crysis 2 isn’t really controversial now in 2024. I think people have accepted and really enjoy the whole trilogy. I know I love it from beginning to end. With that being said I think Crysis 4 is gonna be a lot like Crysis 1.

Crysis 2 is fantastic, it was the only reason why I bought a ps3 . I don’t know much about computer blah blah blah - I think it’s a great game.

My personal opinion? I think Crysis 2 is the best in the series. Crysis 1 was incredible for it's time don't get me wrong, but after replaying it recently I think I don't think I can say it really holds up. It can't seem to decide if it wants to be a hero shooter like half life, or a milsim in the vein of arma, and that really hurts the gameplay. You could say... It has an identity crysis... The story is fantastic though, I do prefer the intrigue and originality of 1 over 2, but the gameplay of the latter outshines its predecessor in most every way, and I feel like Crysis 2 is where the series truly found it's own identity. Michael Bay in FPS form

i still dont like how big the gun in ur hands looks in crysis 2. too big and its distracting. looks much more natural and better in crysis 1 imo do like the new color balance in the remaster so i guess we are past the age now where old games had bad graphics, these graphics will be enjoyable a 100 years from now still.

At least fighting the aliens was fun in Crysis 2. The aliens just about ruined Crysis 1. The entire second half of the first game is pure garbage.

the game audio is fucked up like a scratched cd or something

Throwing all the history and nostalgia aside for a moment... I just finished Crysis 1 for the first time yesterday, and am playing through Crysis 2 now. And TBH... Crysis 1 is dated and was not really enjoyable for me after being spoiled by so many other games. I trudged through it though to see if there were any "magic" moments, and it never really got me. Crysis 2 is more fun, more immersive, and personally, I appreciate the denser and more linear approach. The "empty" sandbox feel is just getting old for me these days...

I think that Crysis 2 is the least remarkable in the series. It's still a good game, but Crysis 3 improved on it in every way.

Too me it was a good game fuck first one was terrible

let me sum up everything crysis 2 calims to be a bigger better sequel - every map is a small corridor that just pretends to be a place all characters from previous game - gone, the fact that crysis itself ends on a cliffhanger is not helping. entire game hinges on YOU the character - NEVER SPEAKING and you basically are doing suit's bidding the entire time +everything wrong with consolization and technical downgrade that goes with it. too much call of duty not enough crysis

I still go back and play Warhead. 2 and 3 are really nice looking, but i can't get behind that gameplay.
