I searched and there were threads about when it was coming out and such, but no gameplay threads.
First off... wow. Just wow. I know I said that about Oblivion, HL2, Doom3, Duke3d... you get the idea... but wow. This game looks amazing and I don't even have it cranked up all the way!
My system isn't the greatest but I can play the game with all settings on high and max resolution (1680x1050) but with AA off.
One downside for the game is it's written to take advantage of DX10. Why is that a downside? I don't want Vista and that's the only way to get it. Don't get me wrong, the game looks insanely beautiful, but they put a lot of effort into the DX10 features of it and I think they skimped on us DX9 people. But who can blame them, right?
Gameplay seems somewhat daunting at first... lots of buttons and modes, but you pick it up quite quick and it's a BLAST to play! You can use your cloaking ability and snipe people or put max strength on and go punch some people out!
The AI is great... they actually fall back, look for cover, interact with eachother, etc. Also, they don't just 'see' you when you're near... if you're hiding behind a tree or behind their back (and quiet) you can hide from them.
Another awesome thing you can do is take a vehicle for a spin! Humvees, trucks, boats... all handle and drive quite well for a FPS. Gauges work, they take realistc damage... and you can shoot out the tires or gas tanks!
I recommend everyone at least download the demo for free (google Crysis demo) and give it a go. It's definately my new favorite game!
