Crysis Woot!

I finally got Crysis! Well, "finally" in that I have been waiting for it for at least a year or two, but it actually came very fast. I was surprised when a simple Amazon.com free shipping preorder shipped the day before it came out (came out Nov 16, 2007) and the box came the day after it came out (November 17, no rly?). I am on now the "third level" meaning I have seen three different loading screens so far. It gets much harder as the game goes on as you encounter much larger herds of enemies (only been North Koreans so far). But, as you can see from the screenshot, this does not stop my ultimate pwnage skillz! Woot! It is a very realistic game, so it is fun to see what you can do with it. Once I threw one frag grenade up at a group of enemies on a clifftop and killed six at once.

As for the graphics, well, I have the Nvidia 8800 GTS 320mb and 1.5 gigs of RAM, which is moderately low according to the game. I was able to set textures to high (not very high of course) as long as I kept the other settings on either medium or low. I get a framerate of anywhere from 17-40 depending on what I am doing or looking at. It does look better than any other game I've seen on this computer before, but I really need more RAM to be able to really push my card.

So, sorry for that wall of text. Look at the screenshot (you can click any pic on this blog to enlarge) and move on.
