I fell off the series after Crysis 2 and
honestly couldn’t tell you the first thing about
the plot anymore, except you wear some
futuristic sci-fi armor. I’ll be excited to check
out that foliage again, though.
Crysis played a formative role in my early
PC-building benchmarks, as I’m sure it did for
others. I’m looking forward to turning all my
LEDs to blue (so the case runs colder,
obviously) and busting out a Razer
DeathAdder and the crappiest LCD panel I
can find to really recapture the moment. Hell,
maybe I’ll even leave the side off my case with
a box fan blowing in for that extra bit of
authenticity.The original Crysis pulled back the curtain on the future.
