Ok, so I am playing Crysis.. great FPS, great graphics, great story...

Life is good, gaming is fun... then all the sudden, I am asked to fly a hover craft. WTF!

If I wanted a flight simulator, I would have gone out and bought one. The control scheme sucks, the flight characteristics of the vehicle suck, and I can't get past it.

I will never finish my FPS, because they decided at some point to no longer be a FPS, but to be a shitty flight sim.

This is not the first game in the last month I have played that pulled this shit, and pissed me off (changing gameplay to another genera sometime within the game).

Developers´ attempts at trying to get the game to have more variety...many don´t succeed.

It's all Halo's fault. It had simple to fly craft (unrealistically so) and since then most FPS have vehicles - some make the mistake of figuring they should require depth and skill to fly.

Personally I don't mind the idea but I'd like a dual difficulty level then so you can stick FPS to hard and vehicles to easy (or medium or hard depending upon how much you want to play a combat sim as well as an FPS).

In crysis, you can change the difficulty on the fly. I play hard on FPS mode, but turned it to easy for the flight simulator part.

I am better at flight simulators then I am a FPS, but this sim just sucks. There is an artificial ceiling, that if you hit, you can't point up, yet your enemies can come from above. You turn slow as hell, and when there are 5-6 things pounding on you, it sucks.

Also, (probably a limitation in my MS KB, or Vista), you need to press a lot of keys at once (q or e to bank, w, to thrust, and shift to after burn). The game will not accept more then I think 2 keys at a time. (when I run I can not reload at the same time, I think because if I have w and shift held down, it does not recognize the r key press.

Anyway, it just sucks... I guess I could look online for a game save past that part.

I always suck at parts in games where they throw in a stealth section. Such as Rainbow Six they have a level where if a guard spots you it is mission over. I hate stealth shit and sticking this stuff in games pisses me off. I thought the sniping part in COD4 was gonna piss me off, but it was real easy.

I realized the problem. I was not supposed to kill them... at this point, I was supposed to run.

The plot element at this point is that there is to many to take down. I am past it now, and back to being happy... the next area is awesome! :)

.... that's a pretty big misunderstanding

Metal gear solid IV became a button whacking simulator near the end. Seriously I think Snake got the message at about the 1000th time I hit triangle.

That's the other game I was talking about in my OP, I just didn't want to add any spoilers.

They don't make it very clear, and while your runing, people on the ground are dying... just seemed kind of cowardess.
