Re: Crysis = thumbs down (spoilers)
Not too hard to imagine some suit at EA might have told them, "This game will kick off a huge franchise guys... give Crysis an ending that'll keep 'em hungry for the sequel..." I think it's highly plausible.
Far too often something negative creeps into games EA publishes - whether it's excessive copy protection, dumbing down features or content, or inspiring sequel-itious with unfinished shorter games, EA is always looking to maximize profits... it's always about the money.. they're pretty smart about it too because most gamers apparently don't even notice or care. Thankfully forum threads like this one where gamers express their true opinions can sometimes make a little difference (not that I consider the news about Bioware's newly revised activation scheme significantly more palatable - it's still crap).
Can anyone honestly deny Crysis is a incomplete and unfinished game? Would it still be the same if EA didn't push it out when they did? Maybe... but things have changed in PC gaming and few developers can spend the necessary time to truly complete a game with cutting edge features or graphics. With EA holding the checkbook I seriously doubt Crytek had the luxury to do all they wanted before release. |
