Couldnt agree more.

I liked the run and gun aspects of the game, but the moment the aliens showed up i started hating it (ironicly its the same with far cry and those critters).

Now I play until the aliens show up then consider it game over.

Yea, I also do the same. the aliens pretty much make the game go from pretty good, to WTF?... lol

However, when Task Force uses a screengrab from a poorly optimised video (from the biggest Xbot on the planet, IGN) I can't help grating my teeth.

It's not great and never will be on either console but the least we can do is post an actual render output:

Hey, I was just pointed out how they had to lower the lods... not trying to say that the console version will have s*** graphics... just not as good.

Still, that console render has some horrible aliasing.

I don't like shooters, but I like Crysis... untill the aliens show up. It's the stealth that makes it great for me; I'm a sucker for any stealth game.

Nothing like taking out a 3 man patrol without using a bullet and without raising an alarm to make you feel like a badass.

yea, I also liked how you could do the mission how you wanted, not a really scripted thing... EX you gotta go this way... gave it some replay value... IMO

Then the damn aliens show up, and the game goes totally down hill, and becomes really linear to boot. Does anyone actually like the aliens?

This was one the biggest complaint in Far Cry, when the mutant critters showed up. Not only did they not seem to learn that in crysis, but the expansion crysis warhead if i recall started with the aliens in your face.

In all actuality, crysis storyline didnt have the leaving the ship part at all...

it was surspose to be...
1 go onto island and attack with main force behind you
2 find out about aliens and alli with kpa
3 distory alienship (or something along those lines...) and wala, done...

But then someone scraped that story and said... well... lets do this.

I will say, the aliens wiere a large letdown... and also the fact that they gave it all away within the first fiew minutes of the game was alot... (when your falling, look left, you will see one of em...)
