[Origin] Crysis 3 $41.99 all platforms FS

Quote from youra6 : So its semi-open? I loved the first Crysis. Crysis 2 was good too, but aside from the nano-suit, it was a totally different game.

Yes, I would say it's semi-open. Where as in Crysis 2 I never felt like I did not cover some area to look for random stuff. I was funneled through areas and pretty much knew this was the route to take (if not the only route).

I'm 3/4 of the way through Crysis 3 and one chapter I completed was very intense and the setting/atmosphere was wonderful. The thing I liked was the map is more or a less a very large square kind of map and you can tackle the objectives in multiple ways, go straight on, take a cave on the outer edge, or go from below a raised house and up into it (or down). Whether or not this truly made it a larger area map or just gave that feeling, I still like it a lot more. I found that once I cleared the path to the main objective, I wanted to back track and stealth kill all the other CELL soldiers that were walking around another part of the map. I never got that feeling in Crysis 2.

I like this much better than in Crysis 1, I think because the gun mechanics are much better, UI is clean and tagging is really fun (I tag everything) and I didn't like micromanaging my suit. Armor vs stealth is good enough for me + the nano suit mods and gun mods. Not to mention I found myself getting off-track in Crysis 1, just started killing random enemies and then got bored or lost b/c of the free-roam (like I said, I need direction haha). Crysis 3 is the happy medium IMO. So if you're expecting Crysis 1, it's not there, but it's not locked down like 2 was. I'm the sort of gamer where I like to remove the "fog of war" on maps by going into unexplored areas before moving on like in Bioshock etc.
