I was lucky to receive two games yesterday for my birthday. Metal Gear Rising and Crysis 3. Rising is great, played up to where the demo has you. But those opening 15 mins are pure gold. Crysis 3 is genuinely really fucking cool too. Keep in mind, this is the first Crysis game I've played and so the story is pretty much eh whatever to me, but the actual gameplay is rock solid. I put it on the second to highest difficulty cause I heard the single player is quite short and so I'm sneaking around a lot, trying to get through as stealthy as possible. The multiplayer is pretty sweet too, it's deep, lots of options, maps and game types and with a ton of options in combat. Always fun to run around a map with a shotgun like a madman. One of the best game modes is Hunter, which is essentially Predator - The Game, as one player is permanently invisible and uses a one hit kill bow while the rest of the players are soldiers who have to survive as long as possible. It creates some tense and exciting moments. I think part of the reason I'm enjoying it so much is down to the fact that this is the only FPS I've played in a little over a year now, the last being Modern Warfare 3. Last year I didn't play any of the popular FPS like Black Ops 2, Halo 4, Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3 etc so to actually play one again is good. If anyone has played any of the aforementioned games extensively or played through them all then I can see why they would be burned out to play another FPS now so it's understandable.
But yeh, a real surprise, I wasn't expecting to play this, but now that I have it, I like it a lot and can see myself playing it and the multiplayer for a long time. It all looks great too, even on 360 (though PC is absolutely the platform to play it on based off the footage I've seen). That is one good looking game. Also has one of the best ads for a game I've seen in a long time.
