No. Played through on normal, started nightmare. Got bored. when the sole tactic is run in, push left mouse as fast as possible and occasionally push right mouse or #1-4, then go around in circles a few times to pick stuff up, I find it has little replay value. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, just not enough to play again. And the lack of voice on multiplayer makes it not worth the effort. Prospect of exploring additional character classes also not that appealing to me.
For open world to be successful there have to be fun things to do that have nothing to do with advancing the plot. Not sure I saw that. Other than that, looked very interesting and the dialog with the guy in the show was well written and acted.
All the usual problems with the Crysis series. Things happen in the cutscenes that you can't do as a player, bad voice acting and a complete failure to comprehend how the military actually works.
I enjoy your work, Shaun. I look forward to every Skyrim mods show. It's the best thing on Gamespot. Feel free to show this to your boss and ask for more money.
