I frankly don't feel any remorse towards this mess up. Crysis 1 was a fun game. But constantly abandoning the primary character, not once, but two times. Everyone was gonna hate cry 2 and 3. I really cared about the story.
It wasn't any mind blowing thing. But setting up your player in cry 1. But then throwing him out for some stupid unknown. Then KILLING that character in the 3rd. The hell would I even buy the 3rd game. If they themselves didn't care about what came before. Shitty check point saves, instead of save anywhere. Crysis 1 was in no way easy and short because of that. The story just kept going insane.
All they kept hyping with a stupid bow and arrow. You knew they where screwed. What other really good product did they ever produce. I never played Ryse, so I can't judge that game. But it does show not a lot came from it. Or people were burned by Crysis, and refused to buy anything from them in fear of the same story abuse. I stayed away from it for this reason.
