HOLY FUCK BALLS YOU CAN PUNCH DOWN A FUCKING HOUSE

actually, it's really more of a shanty

BUT YOU CAN STILL PUNCH DOWN A FUCKING SHANTY.

my dreams, as a gamer, have come true.
/update

First things first, the intro to this game is kick ass - the story and exposition are tighter than far cry, it has a good, although cliche parachute drop-in part, and hints at some cool larger structure and mystery. A bit like LOST actually, but I am skeptical to see if the promise actually holds up to the execution. Also a bit like LOST. But I think the following sums up my feelings about Crysis and why I just put it on pre-order.

I'm sniping at a patrol boat about 500 yards away, hidden in the woods above the beach, enjoying satisfying splashes in the water my shots are making, when I am almost startled to see that the palm fronds I am shooting at in front of the boat are actually flicking out of the way with my ranged gunshots. You are given the powerups cloaking, super strength, speed, or armor, and all your weapons are customizable, a great feature. Another great thing is the guns have an awesome "feel" to them - they seem to kick properly, feel physically in the game, and when a shot hits an enemy in the shoulder, he spins from the impact.

So back to the story, I kill or think I kill the gunner of the boat while in cloaking mode. Pausing for a minute, safely behind a palm tree, I am distracted by the expansive environment and I take out my binoculars to watch a frigate bird fly across the sunrise and marvel at the tinted volumetric fog and the details like coconut crabs and frigate birds they have gotten right. Having lived in Belize for a few months I marvel at the polish and accuracy of the physical surroundings. Anyway, "PEW PEW" and bullets are whipping by me. The driver of the patrol boat has picked up the gun, or I didn't kill him enough, and has resumed shooting at me.

"HA HA" I think, "I will kill you when I emerge from behind the safety of the tree so let me pause a minute and activate my shi-"

At this point I am dead, and as I am falling I see the palm tree I was standing in cover behind, shot down.

I came.
