Another thing that’s strange to me is when you throw an enemy against another enemy, they both just die….
Even if the enemy you throw at gets hit in the leg he just dies. And sometimes you have to empty clips to kill them. A headshot does work fine though.

My computer, has a 2 ghz SINGLE CORE(!) processor, a gig of ram, and an ATi Radeon X1300 512mb. It’s fairly weak. But, I can run Crysis on medium settings and it runs fairly smoothly. I still get the experience of the suit, I get to cut down trees in my way, and “give” people crabs just like all of the others. It doesn’t look perfect, but it looks better than a lot of PC games out there. Maybe one day I will be able to run it on very high… Anyone want to donate a computer?

After playing the demo, I’m left feeling rather non-plussed and fairly disappointed.

So much so that I’ve cancelled my pre-order.

I agree totally with John’s comments; the powers hint at so much and yet deliver only in tiny doses. However the recharge rate is pretty good, and the Cloak is fairly good if you want to just sit still and watch for a minute.

Great assessment. And I agree: I like to feel like I’m being rewarded if I’m able to shoot someone in the face, though I suppose this might just be an obtuse way of encouraging fisticuffs, thus showing off the AWESOME POWER of the suit.

And mixed agreement on the powers:

Only getting a few Strength Punches in didn’t bother me half as much as the wait time between jumps. I never really needed to hit something more than a couple times throughout, but I constantly found myself waiting at the bottom of a sheer cliff, whistling a tune, twiddling my thumbs.

Speed. Passive boost is great, but, yeah, the uber sprint needs to last more than a breath if it’s actually going to be useful. Sure, it encourages us to try out the vehicles, but honestly, who’s cooler: A guy who drives a Datsun or the Flash?

Armour. Actually found it pretty useful.

Cloak. Badass. It might be overpowered if it lasted a bit longer, but gosh would it ever be fun.

Maybe a blanket fix for all of this would just be reducing the recharge time. That way you could still get the faux-realism and sense of vulnerability, but you’d feel like you had more of an edge.

Great, forgot to agree with the article that it would be more fun if some of them lasted a bit longer. So read my above post as my thoughts to why it wouldn’t or how it could work. :)

The game is already quite easy, even on hard (easier than FC was), so making the suit more powerful and enemies easier to kill wouldn’t be the best idea – unless they dramatically reduce the health recovery, which is the main point why the suit seems overpowered to me.
