Rant (Crysis 2)

Oh the A.I, my God . . . . . .

The A.I is dreadful, I literally had to enemies running around in circles while I was just standing there looking at them, so I shot one, killed him, then his comrade walks over to his dead body and proceeds to ask "Are you hit?"



Another scenario where the A.I get's on my nerves is when you are cloaked. Picture this, I'm on a rooftop, Sniper Rifle equipped with a Silencer, I take out one guy from 200 yards away and the other dude standing next to him, LOOKS EXACTLY WHERE I'M STANDING AND STARTS SHOOTING ME!

HOW THE FUCK DID HE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I WAS?

It's like in Far Cry 2, you shoot someone and his friend from ALLLLLLLLLLL the way across the other side of the map can somehow see you hiding in a bush and proceeds to blow you away.

I'm convinced Crytek fitted all the enemy A.I with Eagle vision. It's absolutely BULLSHIT. Oh and if you get caught, and you will, the cloak is USELESS, the enemys just keep on respawing over and over again.

I'm soooooooooo happy I didn't cave in and buy it, just a rent. I heard the second half picks up . . . . . . . . it fucking better.

So far this game get's a 4/10, with only the graphics saving it from being a piece of shit.

lol I heard InFamous has the exact same problem with enemies with eagle vision.
(I've not playedi t though)

But yeah...I mean AI isn't everything man. I mean if the mechanics are tight I don't see how you can say it's 4/10. Because by giving it 4/10 you are ranking it below some of the shittiest games ever.

Yeah you're so freaking right about that. Fuckers in inFamous will be shooting you from a mile away.

Crysis 2 does kinda suck though. The campaign is good, but the AI is freaking horrible. The multiplayer is just a wreck though. It's unbalanced, maps are too small, really chaotic.

I've heard that the reason that the AI is so dumb in Crysis 2 is because for the console versions, in order to save memory the developers turn off some of the AI at certain points in order for the consoles to run all those great visuals. It's supposed to turn back on when they are needed in gameplay situations but I guess that they didnt get it to work properly.

Don't know if its true, just heard it from the guy who reviewed it at IGN

I'm into the second half of the game and it's getting much better. I heard the first half is "slow" from various websites. . . . . . .

They should have replaced "slow" with "incredibly dull".

Yeah, the enemies have eagle eye. Even worse, Cole is a bullet magnet so you'll be taking damage out of nowhere and you won't know where it's from so you'll be running around, scrambling for cover.

Didn't stop me from loving the game though. It made it more challenging, but on the downside you couldn't just glide around peacefully.

hopefully this will be fixed in infamous 2

It probably will since a lot of people complained about that. Remember, Sucker Punch changed Cole's look because of community feedback, so they're obviously going to listen about complaints over more important things like the AI and bullet magnetism.

But let's get back on topic.

Reminds me of infamous.The enemies always fucking found where I was and had super accuracy.Thats right, drugged up gangsters(reapers) with AK-47's are able to hit me from a very long distance.Half the time I had no idea who was shooting me.Its like no matter where I am some dude from a 100 yards away see's me.Not to mention you can die easily on easy.....

Haha didnt crytek say before that Crysis 2 will have the best AI ever?

My biggest complaint from what ive seen of Crysis 2 is that the aliens look so generic.Its like they got their alien disigns from a crappy hollywood alien invasion movie.

I liked the aliens. They're like octopuses with armor.

OK now im officially pissed off at this game. I was saving up my nano-catalyst for one of the bigger upgrades, but theres a particular point in the game where shit really goes down and they fucking stripped all my nano-catalyst away from me. WTF i had like 6000 and its all gone.

I saw a video in the first game where an enemy soldier watches as his comrade gets sniped.

His reaction: nothing.

So I don't think it's the consoles.

Also this game is one of the shittiest I've played.
