Anarchy Online vs Crysis
Anarchy Online
Anarchy Online is one of the first science fiction-theme MMORPG when it was introduced in 2001 and unsurprisingly, the game was very well-received back then. Originally a subscription-based game, it was one of the first games to introduce free trials to players who wanted to give the game a try. It features deep character interaction and development and has a wide range of classes to choose from. The gameplay is entertaining and the lore will delight those who enjoy a good original storyline.However, Anarchy Online is one of those old-school MMOs that had not aged well. The more than 15-year-old graphics isn't exactly what it used to be, and despite the huge amount of content you get to enjoy, once you've done everything there is to do in this game, you'll start to gradually feel bored since there will be no additional content, ever. The publishers have also stated that they will only keep the servers running and that's about it. So, cheaters and exploiters pretty much roam freely here and you can expect a pretty deprecated in-game economy and currency.
So, although many have considered this game as one of the more underrated MMORPG classics, Anarchy Online may not be the sort of game you'd want to spend too much time in, mainly because right now there are so many other options out there, unless it's for nostalgic purposes.
Crysis
Crysis is the first of a brilliant action-shooter game that has players shooting aliens and saving the world with a unique, multi-function nanosuit that augments your combat capability on the battlefield in ways that kinda makes you a super-soldier of sorts. You can enhance your strength in order to lift cars, for example; boost armor so you can take more damage, or turn on invisibility to sneak through enemy lines. There is a diverse arsenal of weapons and munitions that you can use and customize as well, giving you multiple ways to plan out your tactics and play according to your own preferences.As amazing as the first Crysis game was, the game's graphics can be a bit dated and well, none of the online servers are up now, so you can't really enjoy the game via its multiplayer mode. However, if you simply want to enjoy the game for sentimental purposes or to enjoy the storyline, well, you might want to buy the game.
