Crysis 3 Welcomes Players Back to the (Urban) Jungle

[Akisa]

Ok, I'm slightly confused here.
If I understand this correctly, Crysis 2 took place during 2020 in NYC or somewhere around that time and Crysis 3 is taking place in 2047, in NYC, after the events of Crysis 2 with Alcatraz.
How can NYC be a "urban jungle/rainforest" in just 27 years time? Several of those screenshots show it might as well be the jungle island from the first game.

Actually in 27 years it's very possible to develop with lots of plant life. Just look what happens to the plants in an empty lot in New York. Now do that for all the buildings if New York remains uninhabited. However I don't believe the plant life should be jungle in nature, instead it should be more forest like. And buildings should start crumbling, and the plant life should be mostly in the outside portion not indoors.

Yes, I am aware that plant life can grow in unihabited areas rather quickly and your explaination makes sense but what I'm having a problem with is that the level of growth looks indicitive of at least 40-50 years of growth not just 27.

Well I disagree, I see the growth level of picture 1 in some of the empty lots I came across, and with one example close by. As for the trees, yes there are trees in New York outside of central park and Brooklyn. I'm no plant person, and I'm just biasing my beliefs observations I have made in the city I lived and grew up in.

So that's a guy in a nano suit firing a bow and arrow at a space alien robot... Am I really the only one who face palms rather than goes HELL YEAH when I see that?

Imagine the power of a good bow when drawn in strength mode. If it hits, it's both silent and extremely powerful. More effective than a bullet, actually.

Nah I imagine he'll break the string or the bow in strength mode before it became more destructive then bullet.

Of course, but you're forgetting that this is a super magic enchanted bow!

Then why are there no melee weapons, especially with cloak allowing you to sneak up to targets.

If I had to guess, I'd say that it's because a strength punch can kill a man and throw him 10 meters back, so a knife/sword would be useless.
But don't worry, we'll have swords by Crysis 4.

And people with Nanosuits?

Stop hoping for it.

Why? I mean, even if nothing comes of it why can I not hope? I am a big boy, I can take dissapointment just fine.

So lucky, here it will be 60 Euro... the average wage is 250 Euro/month

Dude, you really shouldn't be spending money on video games. Where the hell do you live?

Because you'd be deluding yourself, and, by extension, other people.

Oh boo-hoo! No one likes a cynic raining on their parade.


Now excuse me while I go delude myself and others dumb enough to listen to me with reckless abandonment as if I COULD NOT DISTINGUISH WISHFULL THINKING FROM REALITY.

 

[Saulkar]

There's cynicism, and then there's realism. Shove the sarcasm. There's no reason to believe the shit you're talking about, and it's as simple as that.

All I am getting from this is that you are an indignated cynic who cannot comprehend that someone thinks differently from yourself and feels the need to oppose it.

I don't care if you feel your parade is being rained on one bit. This is nonsense, and you don't, indeed, appear to be able to distinguish wishful thinking from reality if you really function this way.

This only reinforces what I have inferred. You feel the need in your narcissism to subjective justify the inferiority of my ideology (hoping for the sheer sake of hoping when the odds are largely against it for the of the pleasure derived from it, while never losing sight on reality) and feel the need to insult me by claiming that such an act is impossible unless I could not discern reality from fantasy. The sheer act of hoping motivates not just me but most of the human population to achieve what is seemingly impossible, and you know what? It is a helluva lot better than speaking against/doing nothing because something seems impossible just because the odds are stacked against it.

Besides, how the hell do you know by whatever clairvoyance of yours the scope of the level design of Crysis 3? They mentioned that it is a sandbox and they have the first Crysis on the consoles after a graphics reduction. Whats to say that cannot find an efficient data streaming system to allow much larger level designs than Crysis 2. Wait don't answer that. You are on my ignore list.

It'd be nice to have another game in the same continuity as Crysis rather than Crysis 2, which was essentially a whole new game/premise/setting. Crysis was awesome, Crysis 2 was kinda crappy.

I guess this is urban jungle by its literal meaning.
