Unskippable: Crysis 2 Part 1

[ZenoX969]

Hahaha, can't wait for part 2.

I love effortless they make mocking such a serious cutscene look.
Although the intermittent control being handed back and forth is a good point, I shall be using that line as well.

OT: Do you intermittently black out in the GAME itself?

I know that sounds like a joke.....but that's exactly what kept happening in Far Cry 2 (which is dumber? Protagonist being Hungover...or Protagonist having Malaria? That's right Malaria), Crytek's last game, so I assure it wasn't a joke. It was a serious question.

Far Cry 2 wasn't made by Crytek, as they'd already sold the Far Cry series to Ubisoft by that point, and at least you get the excuse of blacking out (although it's more very slow blinking) due to being shot, which makes considerably more sense.
At least any future instances of blacking out are caused by being explicitly knocked out by something.

Well, on one hand, Crytek had nothing to do with Far Cry 2... that was Ubisoft. From what I understand, they haven't developed anything in the franchise since the original Far Cry.

Anyway, not intermittently. There's a couple occasions in the game mostly at the end of maps.

Bird IS the word. Love it

On a side note, there is, actually, a pretty interesting reason why he doesn't speak for the rest of the game (check out the Heroic Mime entry -- SPOILERS):

To be fair, I think Yahtzee spoiled that in his Crysis 2 review.

This episode had me firing my Lasers of Amusement at the laptop screen.

Bird IS the word. Love it

Hehe. I loved that reference too.

I was also wondering why the weren't moving to put on their scuba gear when told. For me that just gave away that the sub was about to get hit and begin flooding.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I love the lasers of understanding. NATO needs those things!

Also that protagonist cannot hold his liquor. At all.

 

[JonnWood]

The Lasers of Understanding, however, are unable to pierce the Plot Convenience Armor.

Actually, there was jam on the screen. He got hit, and would've been finished off if not for Prophet.

Spoiler

Severe internal damage [http://crysis.wikia.com/wiki/Alcatraz#Crysis_2], including damaged lungs and vocal cords, and it's later revealed that the suit's only thing keeping him alive

.

 

[duchaked]

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

oh man that got me

still, that was a pretty crazy intro tho. def got me into the game...kinda sorta.

 

[ultrachicken]

so the aliens will love and tolerate the shit out of us, AFTER they iced our pacific island and blew up our aircraft carriers?
also Alcatraz is so damn useless without the suit and even with the suit throws like a little girl, i wonder how much more awesome crysis 2 could have been had we given the suit to someone awesome. like the doom marine.

Well, Alcatraz DID spend the majority of the game with his internal organs in a state similar to pudding.

 

[Nouw]

wow so many instant classics in this one

"what the fuck was that?... That was you not getting your scuba gear on"
"complete movement tutorial... i repeat movement tutorial"
"hey man you're swimming into bioshock, turn back turn back!"
"oh no someone released the kraken... and gave it ground effects"
"fire the lasers of understanding!"


also... it seems to be your new thing to split cutscenes...

Stole all my quotes. You guys are a-fucking hilarious!

 

[JehuBot]

I think my favorite jokes were all the Bioshock ones.

"Wait, you're swimming towards Bioshock!"

"Don't go into the lighthouse! Don't get into the bathosphere!"

And the mom joke was pretty good too and I too want Laser of Understanding.

Perfect ninja , is perfect !

 

[Breno]

destiny is a *****....she did't give me a lap-dance when i asked her

 

[kab040]

You know this wouldn't have happened if they had just put their scuba gear on.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

oh man that got me

Yeah, until part 2, where they randomly shove a TOTALLY UNRELATED intro cinematic into the middle of the tutorial.

Seriously. It happens.

 

[Something Amyss]

I told him he shouldn't play the "blacking out" drinking game. It's like, totally unwinnable!

Crytek wasn't involved in Far Cry 2, it was developed by Ubisoft(Montreal?).

I really enjoyed Crysis but I still haven't gotten around to the sequel.
