Yes. There should also be more games that use the Splinter Cell: Conviction system that puts the tutorials and objectives in the environment. That stuff looks really cool.

Ehhh, yeah. I love Conviction, and I think that concept is interesting and it does look cool, but that's the one thing out of the entire game that can potentially take me out of the experience 'cause you know that that's not actually there in the environment, so it's kind of uncanny. Does that makes sense?

@Hailinel: Yeah, I know there are others that don't approve of that way to go about the way health is shown, but I can't think of any other convenient ways right now to type as an example. If you could, I'd like to hear it (or... see it). Maybe in FPS' the health shows on your wrist? I don't know. If you can think of anything else, I'd like to know.

@easthill: Yes, you're kind of right. I was somewhat hesitant to make a poll on this, but I thought I would since it's not detrimental to the topic. Also, I was referring more to shooters than any other, but I didn't want to leave anything out just in case someone else felt like games from other genres could use this style as well. I'm personally thinking of third/first person shooters.

@mordukai: As the other said, you should play Warhead, but I wouldn't say instead of. I think if your PC's capable of playing Crysis, no matter what, even if you have played it already another way, it's worth the money. If you just want to do it for the VTOL, asking me may not be the best way to go about it. I, and a few others really didn't mind the VTOL section from what I gather, but a lot of people really didn't like that section. I believe it's because they couldn't get the handle of the controls down well, and there's a small tornado section which a lot of people found hard to avoid for some reason. I'll say this though, I do believe that (if your PC can handle it) no matter what, you need to buy Crysis on PC. It's a must have, for more reasons than one. The first time I played Crysis on PC, I went through it without a steady frame-rate, and on the lowest graphical settings, and I loved it, but once you can have the best visuals (or even just high settings); it's even more of a treat. So yes, buy it. I feel like I repeated myself more than once, but I can't recommend it enough.

What I mean is, games like Dead Space, and the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines HUD-less approach. Where you don’t have a health bar shown on the screen other than maybe the red that comes around the screen in FPS’ to tell you how much you’re getting hurt, or maybe a unique way, and when it comes to shooters (which I am mainly talking about, though not necessarily exclusive to), where ammo isn’t shown through HUD, but on your weapon.

I think that would be great, I love games without HUDs, for the little amount of games that utilize that style. When I get a chance to turn off crosshairs in games, I do so in FPS’, but only when you can use iron sights. I wish more games would either adopt this, or at least give players a chance to turn off the HUD altogether, while still maintaining a convenient way to play.

All I can say is that I'm happy you're going to play Crysis, or whenever you get the chance. I'm not sure if you've played the PC version before or not, but what I can say is that while it's not as good as the PC version; the console version is still superb. It has a few annoying bugs here and there, not as many, and different than what's seen on PC (which is the only fault to the PC versions visuals), but they're there. An entire section is taken out from near the end of the game where you get to fly a VTOL, which I personally think was a mistake; others may disagree. Then when talking about visuals overall, they're very, very good, but there's some pop-in, weird human A.I. animations and reactions from time to time, and the shadows have a somewhat weird jittery effect. No matter, I think you'll enjoy this game. Have fun! Oh, and as for the problem, I can't really help. I think it's just something that'll eventually work.

I know I shouldn't have ever let reviews and others comments towards the game get to me, but I felt like this game wasn't worth getting because of the talk. That's disappointing 'cause for a long time before it came out, I was pretty excited about it. I loved the first, and it was one of those games that even outside of the game, I couldn't get enough of. I'd go on forums a lot and talk about the known series, and I'd also read up on everything inFAMOUS. Do you believe that if I liked the first that much, I should have given the sequel a chance? Have I made a mistake? Or the fact that I love the first as much as I did/(do?), I'd probably end up disappointed by this one?

@Bobstar: Are you asking me, or others? 'Cause all I can tell you is, whether I can compare them or not elsewhere, I wasn't asking about comparisons. I simply asked which you liked better. If you're response was to others comments, then never mind.
