Bloody awesome. I especially liked the hit reactions part - it was about time! :)

Maximum Teaser. My opinion will remain indifferent until I see some actual gameplay footage.

I really don't understand why anyone likes Crytek's games, especially at a place like this. They frequently embody most of what is wrong with gaming today (oh, and they're dead boring).

People can enjoy a broad palette of games, shocking I know. A lot of people can appreciate a well made Summer Blockbuster just as much as Deus Ex's, Stalker's, Pathologic's, Planescape Torment's etc of this world.
Crysis was akin to a Tony Scott film. The plot was dumb Hollywood-esque nonsense, but it was made by people with actual talent (i.e. not Michael Bay).

Yes because, for example, giving the player freedom to approach objectives in several different ways, having largely unscipted combat/situations, and even allowing you to sneak around enemies instead of fighting them is completely frowned upon in this place. :)

What's irritating is not that Crysis is popular here, and not that I get scolded for criticizing it, but that the people who scold me pretty frequently use my exact same arguments against Crysis to criticize a good game yet nobody cares.
Also Koki likes it, there must be something wrong with it.

I like it because it's the melting popsicle in my hand in summer.

this.
nothing beats open-world multi-path "action settings" to play around. It even made me endure the stupid military special forces meets Aliens story.
