Crysis vs Planetside 2
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.
Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
