Do you guys think the original Far Cry or Crysis is the better game?

I really enjoyed both but I have more good memories of FarCry than of Crysis, and I played it way before. So FarCry.

Second that Farcry beats Crysis because you don't have the suit or its powers and theres the feeling of vulnerability constantly from a well placed shot.

Far Cry > Crysis

It's not necromancy if the thread is on the first page. :3

I'm curious about how the environments of the Far Cry games are structured. In Crysis, while the environments were large and had several paths through them they still sort of felt like one long corridor where I'd be going from one checkpoint to the next. This corridor just happened to be far larger than most other corridor-based games. Is this a similar case for the Far Cry games, or are they more open-world in the way that, say, Just Cause 2 is?

well i own both far cry and its sequel, love them, have never tried crysis but i want to. would you say i should just stick to far cry, or is crysis worth a shot?

Crysis is fun, so I'd try it if your computer can run it. I've never beaten the game because the story turned stupid, but the gameplay is great.

Crysis.

Far Cry had some really neat ideas and some really fun parts, but it also had some really really awful ones. The experience is EXTREMELY inconsistent, and often errs on the side of frustrating rather than fun.

Crysis still remains one of the best "linear sandboxes" ever made. It has a narrow focus, but allows you to do just about anything within that focus, and makes it all fun to do. It's a much richer game than Far Cry, and much less irritating.

I guess this is kinda necromancy, but whatever... No. Far Cry is also a "linear sandbox."

I prefered the aesthetic of Far Cry - Crysis looked a bit "washed out" to me. However, you really need to patch the quick-save into Far Cry otherwise it gets annoying pretty quickly - especially when the trigens turn up.

I prefer Crisis. The A.I. detection is a lot better in it and its also more polished than Far Cry.

Crysis obviously looks better, but I enjoyed playing Far Cry a lot more. Now that I've go the GOG version without DRM, I'm going back and playing it with no hud and the IronSights mod. It's even better now.

Actually unlike what jefequeso stated only the first Far Cry is a linear shooter like Crysis (it's also the only one to feature sci-fi elements - after all, it's a Crytek game :P). Far Cry 2 and 3 are sandboxes, however. Haven't played Far Cry 3 yet but FC2 is IMO very similar to Just Cause, only a bit more serious and less "vertical". :p

Personally - i prefer Far Cry. I like its climate and storyline more.
