I've been playing it on the 360 and it's quite dulling and boring most of the time. It sure is beautiful visually but actually being so open world doesn't do the game any favors from what I've played so far. Every 10 feet or so, there is another group of Koreans. It's just frustrating, annoying and repetitive. I could just kill them all but there is just no point and it's not the easiest game. Because it's so open world and it's really not that easy to hit everything. Mostly, I just run straight through to my objective. Why waste time and kill endless enemies? I also figured there would be some real side quests or something and there really isn't, just plain simple objectives like activating things. Is it always this way?

Just to be clear, I don't think it's a bad game.  So far, I've enjoyed the story and what's developing and I really like the idea of the nanosuit but they just don't nail it well. Running drains your powers and you will have to spend a lot of time running to the next area unless you can find a vechile. I guess I'm just hoping it's not always like this and not as dull and boring as Far Cry 2 was.

It gets real annoying when you have to fight the aliens and the alien aircraft. That's when I just felt the need to rush through the game.

I think you are missing the point of the game. It is realism. There aren't endless enemies, but you will attract a ton if you cause a ruckus. It's a tactical military game, you need to understand your surroundings. It sounds like you are playing it like it's a linear level game, like Halo. Of course it's objective based, what else would it be? Sure you can just run and gun your way through the game, but have you tried the cloaking? Try not killing everyone you see. Running away shouldn't be your first strategy either. Also, you are upset that running at super human speed drains your power? It's the suit that let's you run that fast.

I thought it was quite alright, it looked good for sure.

As soon as a sequel to a technology-pushing game releases, it's predecessor is automatically dogshit. You kno dis!

I played it for about an hour. I liked it so far from what ive played not sure when ill get back to it though my backlog is pretty big.

This is how I felt. I was really enjoying the game until the alien crap.

I really wanted to like the Crysis series, but they're disappointing games.

Try to complete the game by flying. Should be much more fun that way.

Pretty much this.

As soon as Battlefield 4 release, I will see no reason to go back to Battlefield 3. Games are relying on graphics way too much these days, which is what stops them from becoming timeless classics.

Like I have said many times before: Graphics < Content

Oh come on now, this game isn't tactical at all. Either you kill the enemies or you try to sneak past them but you can't even do that effictively since running uses all of your abilities. The cloaking ability hardly lasts long at all and you run automatically when you want to go any faster than running. I've played open world games like Borderlands and loved it. I just find the game not perfectly balanced, dull, boring and repetitive most of the time and it's just meaningless to fight enemies every 10 feet you progress. Sure you can sneak past them if you're lucky enough to able to use stealth as long as you need it but it's still pretty much just as pointless and meaningless...it's not a stealth game either. It's just plain ridiculous, how every 10 feet literally there is another group of enemies.

I don't know though, still giving it a chance but from the way it seems, Crytek made the best decision making the game focused on a set path for 2 to avoid all of the problems from the first game.
