Putting an activation limit on a game especially one that cannot be purchased legally anymore, unless you get one of those usually sh***y, half a***ed, much worse than the original game "remasters" is just pure evil and heinous. Video game publishers keep doing sh** to screw over customers and maximise their profits, fulfil their greed and selfishness then keep crying that people keep pirating their games.
Its like a drilling holes in your boat and complaining that its sinking, that water is coming into the boat, that its not floating anymore etc.

Actually its technically also still available on GOG.com and its DRM FREE! (https://www.gog.com/en/game/crysis), Which in result, makes this even more inexcusable ofc!
Greedy, hypocritical publishers, go F*** yourselves!

Be me, Nigel, a proper British lad 🎩
Hear about this game called Crysis, mates are raving about it 🎮
Decide to give it a go, thinking it's gonna be smashing 💥
Start the game, first thing I see is a turtle 🐢
Accidentally yeet the poor thing into the stratosphere 🚀
Oops.jpeg
Carry on, thinking "It's just a game, innit?" 🤷‍♂️
Graphics are proper spiffing, feels like I'm really in the jungle 🌴
Start shooting stuff, having a jolly good time 🔫
Suddenly, game tells me I've reached the 50 machine activation limit 😡
What in the blazes is this nonsense?! ❌
Can't even shoot properly now, bloody hell 😤
Game starts lagging like a slowcoach on a Sunday stroll 🐌
Try to fix it, but end up in a right mess 🤦‍♂️
Spend hours searching online for a solution 🔍
Finally get it sorted, but by then I've lost me patience ⏳
Crysis, more like Cry-for-help-sis 😭
Overall, graphics are smashing but the activation limit is utter bollocks 🤬
Would rather spend me time sipping tea and watching the telly, to be honest. 🍵📺

[Scene opens in the Jade Palace. Po is sitting in front of a large screen, furiously playing Crysis. The Furious Five, Shifu, Oogway, Tai Lung, Kai, Li Shang, and Mr. Ping are gathered around, watching him play.]

Po: [Excitedly] Guys, guys! You gotta see this! I'm about to take down this massive enemy with just a banana peel and a rubber duck! 🍌🦆

[The others exchange confused glances as Po's character in the game throws a banana peel and a rubber duck at a virtual enemy on screen.]

Tigress: [Skeptical] Po, that's not how you defeat enemies. You need focus and precision. 🐅

Mantis: [Scratching his head] Uh, I don't think that's gonna work, Po. Maybe try something else? 🐜

Crane: [Chuckling] This is going to be interesting. I can already tell. 🦢

Monkey: [Grinning] Hey, as long as it gets the job done, right? 🐵

Viper: [Giggling] I've seen some creative moves from you, Po, but this takes the cake. 🐍

Po: Trust me, guys, it's a genius strategy! Just wait and see! 🐼

Shifu: [Skeptical] I highly doubt that's a sanctioned Kung Fu move, Po. 🐾

Oogway: [Chuckling] Ah, the wisdom of the Dragon Warrior knows no bounds. 🐢

Tai Lung: [Rolls his eyes] This is ridiculous. I could defeat all these enemies blindfolded. 😒

Kai: [Grumpily] Stop wasting time, Panda. We have better things to do. 😠

Li Shang: [Raises an eyebrow] Is this really what you do in your free time, Po? 🤨

Mr. Ping: [Excitedly] Oh, look at him go! That's my boy, using his noodle! 🍜

[As Po continues to play, the others watch with varying levels of amusement and confusion. Suddenly, Po's character in the game gets defeated.]

Po: [Groans] Oh no! I was so close!

[The screen displays the words "Game Over."]

Tigress: Well, Po, I guess that strategy didn't quite cut it. 🙀

[Just then, Po's character accidentally yeets a turtle into the stratosphere.]

Furious Five: [Horrified gasps] Po!

Shifu: [Aghast] Po! What have you done? 🐢

Tai Lung: [Laughing uncontrollably] I can't believe you just did that! 😂

Kai: [Joining in laughter] That's the funniest thing I've seen all day! 😆

Oogway: [Hilariously confused] Ahhhh, my time has come. 🐢

Li Shang: [Trying to stifle laughter] Po, you really need to work on your aim. 😆

Mr. Ping: [Chuckles] Oh dear, looks like someone's taking "turtle power" a bit too literally! 🐢

[They all share a laugh as Po grins sheepishly, ready to give the game another try.]

[Scene fades out.] [/b]

In the realm where gamers aspire,
Crysis emerged with graphics on fire.
But its activation cap,
Left us in a trap,
Leaving fun levels feeling dire.

Fifty machines, what a joke!
Cry-sus, you make us choke.
With limits so low,
You're more pain than glow,
In gaming, you're just a sad bloke.

So farewell, Crysis, we say,
To your limits, we bid dismay.
We'll find joy elsewhere,
In games that don't impair,
Good riddance to you, anyway!

But can it run Crysis?

This is an awesome game! Released in 2007 and there's a reason why it served as the best mesure of a graphics capability of a PC for years.. the visual are remarkable, and it still holds on well today (2024). As for the gameplay and story they're all top notch (the latter, without getting too deep or complex, serves it's purpose well). Looking forward to playing the rest of the trilogy!!
