It seems true. i think the crysis series is mainly graphic less gameplay, crysis 1 was on of the worst game i ever touched, sure graphic is superbig but all other are bad. COD4 was way better than that, bioshock just rape the entire crysis series. One of the worst series i ever seen, but graphics are pretty good.
Yeah....hence the reason people are still going back to older games that are better. Here is an odd one. I had more fun with Star Wars Republic Commando (really nice gameplay) than i had with Crysis 2 for example.
