I have the exact same sentiment. I said this in another thread best:
Crytek is trying so hard to be like Valve, but it fails so hard with failures like Crysis and Far Cry that it almost makes me want to pity them.

 

 What a load of nonsense. Cryteks games are nothing like HL and I don't see any other areas where the companies are similar either. Then you call Crysis and FarCry failures, even though they have been getting great reviews. Are they a failure because they aren't regarded as the best FPS ever made? Hardly.

 

I'm talking quality and respect of the simple mention of the company name. The games were also very medicore with the only significant advancements being graphics, yeah it was a huge advancement, but it did nothng else that was special. They were obviously hoping to be considered at the level of Valve and they feel very short of it.

Huh, I always assumed Crytek had a decent hand in its development, but after a quick google I guess they didn't at all.

 

 I just don't see that. They are releasing their games much faster, and I never heard them say anything about them being the kings of FPS. Where do you get the idea that that they expected to be considered at the level of Valve? I don't get it.

 

EDIT: I actually thought it was made by Crytek as well. Guess not ...
