Crysis story... LOL!!!

Sandok · Mar 29, 2006, 08:37 AM

Seems the guys from Cryteck aren't good at stories at all... Read this!

Earth, 2019: A colossal asteroid crashes down to Earth.The North Korean Government quickly seals off the island chain, claiming the mysteries of the asteroid for themselves. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation and report back to the Pentagon. Amid rising tensions between the US and North Koreans, the asteroid suddenly bursts open, revealing a massive, 2km high alien ship. The ship generates an immense force sphere, freezing a vast portion of the island and drastically altering the global weather system. The invasion of Earth has begun.

Hahahaha

REALLY LAME game story

For kids...

Sounds even worse from watching Star Wars Phantom menace

Drakon · Mar 29, 2006, 09:01 AM

Care to post your source, sandok?

**Asmoday** · Mar 29, 2006, 09:07 AM

It's a game for God's sake! As if that many games has better storys anyway, it's all about the experience when you play it ....

**Vikingod** · Mar 29, 2006, 09:24 AM

That is pretty campy, doubt it will matter much when the game comes out. Hell, the original far cry story line sucked ass (evil scientists, genetic mutants, oh my!), but it's still one of the best. It would be nice to have it with a full package though.

***Zardon*** · Mar 29, 2006, 09:34 AM

Sounds fine to me ! I like a nice camp sc-fi story

Well I agree Farcry had a lame story and it ruled but it's always cool to have a NIFTY story and amazing graphics plus gameplay (HL2 anyone?

)

Anyways, Drakon, I searched for the original source but can't find it... I copied that from this place:

They got pics too so it seems legit...

pr0digal jenius · Mar 29, 2006, 11:00 AM

sounds fun to me....

some games don't even bother much with a story at all...atleast they tried

IvanV · Mar 29, 2006, 11:27 AM

Heh, Crytek is from Germany, what did you expect? A creative breath taking story? No way! But on the other hand, they are kick ass engineers, so technical side will be a work of art (or at least I hope so).

OmegaRED · Mar 29, 2006, 11:55 AM

And this is leaps and bounds better than the Farcry's story? Who cares as long as it looks good and plays well.

Lowfat · Mar 29, 2006, 11:55 AM

I can't stand poor storylines, i think it plays a biggere part if the game is worth the money.

It is funny how their parent company, Ubisoft, has games with great stories: GRAM,etc.

Sandok · Mar 29, 2006, 11:59 AM

Well it has nothing to do with the company but with the dev.... Farcry was under Ubisoft and the story was... Pitiful?

Necrosis · Mar 29, 2006, 12:24 PM

The real title of this game is Duke Nukem Forever.

SFOSOK · Mar 29, 2006, 05:07 PM

The crysis team is not good at a lot of things other than graphics and gameplay.

ROFL! Now that was funny!

hmm wonder when that game comes out...

it's only been like...hmmm 8 years?

BulletTheory · Mar 29, 2006, 09:46 PM

Yeah about 8 years. I hope Crysis will be as good as FarCry. I liked the game and hope the same about Crysis

@/2ct!< · Mar 30, 2006, 01:01 AM

Yeah I heard Crysis was going to better and that they learned their lesson from FarCry; don't get rid of the incredible open 1st half for annoying linear mutant levels.

SFOSOK · Mar 31, 2006, 09:47 PM

Just watched the video through another site and guess what it said at the end.... EA. Don't be disappointed if it is rated T, because I'm sure EA is goin to try and force it.

While I love how beautiful the game looks, I'll be debating wether or not I should put down my money for it. No story, horrible death animations with cartoony blood, and published by EA. Come to think of it I disliked Farcry mainly because the story seemed like it came out of a 13 yr olds action novel or a really bad movie.

perhaps that is why I preffered F.E.A.R. over it for a while, because I'm starting to like the story of a game rather than the gameplay.

I'll probably pick this up anyway, though I may say I won't. It looks very beautiful and I will probably play through it once then never touch it until I wish to see the graphics again

EA has some killer titles coming...and has re-structured their studios to focus more gameplay these days, actually....Crysis and Spore are particularly interesting

SFOSOK · Mar 31, 2006, 11:25 PM

hopefully your right

pr0digal jenius · Mar 31, 2006, 11:28 PM

if all the recent hype and interviews are anywhere close to true, it is

Spore is gunna be the be all end all of video games tho

the big Firefly · Apr 4, 2006, 01:29 AM

i think that the storyline is what keeps one playing. some game with a real good storyline and not so good graphic will keep one infornt of ones pc longer thet just graphics. for example: DOOM3 had very good graphics but the gameplay and story sucked @$$. and something like POP 1+2 or maybe even warcraft 3. the storyline of warcraft 3 was th only thing that made me want to play more of it. im not a much of a liker to stragety games.

so do you guys see what i mean. the story plays a big role.....

i agree with that. farcry put me off because of that. never finished the game anyway and i dont care.

If you guys want stories, go buy books... Games are for fun and no real story is required.

lol, and u review the games? thats scary : (.

Games are like books you can play. Ask most people who create the games, build the stories (except the crysis team). I look for a story in everything, if you can't learn something from it, why the hell are you wasting your time? Take every story out of the greatest games of all time, and what do you get?

try metal gear solid or grand theft auto or warcraft, excellent stories. crytek just wants to show off jungle environments
