Crysis 2 DX 11 confirmed.

[wuliheron]

i'll play a bad game that looks great over a bad game that looks bad anyday of the week. Why do you think i dumped 10 hours into metro 2033

Exactly. Crysis never had great gameplay or even a good story line. The story is little better then a horror movie where monsters just start coming out of the woodwork and the game play is little better then Doom where you just shoot everything in sight. They've completely ruined the immersion for PC gamers by turning it into a shooter on rails and consolizing it to death. Now the graphics and immersion are just as bad as the game play and story line.

I'm not the one here with a problem: you are. Your posts are essentially a continual stream of negativity regarding how incredibly disappointed you are with Crysis 2. The easy solution is, you know, not to buy it. Yet people who haven't bought the game are blabbering all over any Crysis 2 thread on this forum (even the ones in VC&G) whining about how there is no DX11 support, how Crytek sold out, how Crytek didn't push graphical boundaries, and essentially how Crysis 2 is a mediocre game. Yet, these people haven't bought the game, and more often than not contradict the quality of their assessment of Crysis 2 by coupling "the game sucks" with "I don't own/haven't played it".

I have had fun playing Crysis 2. That's why I'm posting in this thread (in addition to correct the hyperbole that posters like you seek to shit out on a frequent basis). So no, I don't have a problem, you do. I have no real solution for you though except something like "get over it, it's just a game". Maybe that'll work.

Dude I'm sure you also have fun masturbating and are very attached to your Willie, but here's a clue:

I Don't Care.

I'm not here to merely slam Crysis 2. There are plenty of good things to say about the game and I've said a few good things about the game. That certainly doesn't mean it is above criticism. I'm here trying to have a simple conversation with other like minded people and all you can do is act like I've tried to cut your Willie off.

Get a life, preferably one of your own.

Wait, what? If the original Crysis had a poor storyline and poor gameplay how was it in any way immersive?

It took you 24 minutes to begin complaining (from the time this thread was created) about whether or not Crytek was supporting the PC gaming community or not. I realize that you're bitter/have problems and so forth, hence your attempt to personally attack me, but here's a clue for you: try not to be such a bitter poster who has predominantly negative, whining commentary to provide as 'criticism' about a game, if you don't want to come across as someone with issues.

The person who needs 'a life' here clearly isn't me. But enjoy your e-crusade against Crytek.

Goodbye. Good riddance. Don't hurry back.

The graphics and physics made up for a lot of its failings in the same way that really good special effects and acting can make up for an otherwise weak plot in a movie. This remake of Crysis is like watching someone replace the CGI aliens in Star Wars with men in rubber suits.

I really hope this translates into "I've put you on ignore". Maybe now you'll refrain from attempting to correct people who play the game with quality posts like this one:

What crock of shit. Two 580s and a 2600k overclocked will eat this game for breakfast. Anyone who implies otherwise is either on serious drugs or needs to be on serious drugs.

The only crock of shit here is your collection of posts in this thread. Take care now. Toodles.

Now, perhaps the rest of us can actually discuss what the thread is about. Perhaps, what DX11 features will improve image quality in various parts of the game. I don't think the pizzas are going to get touched, and I'm of the opinion that a DX11 patch will provide minimal IQ improvements.

The relevant quote from the mycrysis forums is "We would like to announce that there will be a DX11 patch released for Crysis 2. We are working to get the best out of DX11, so we’ll wait to announce the features until a little closer to release."

I'm not sure how much of an IQ improvement can be obtained via this patch, but 'getting the best out of DX11' should entail a rather significant IQ boost. I'm eager to see the difference.

The acting is a core component of a film and gameplay is the core component of a game. There isn't anything that can make up for that.

And even if you could it just shows how pathetic and embarrasing all these complaints about Crysis 2 are. Everyone pining after Crysis, a game with poor gameplay.

Crysis 2 rocks.

Anyone who has watched a really old science fiction or horror film knows what I'm talking about. Rubber suits, bad acting, bad cinematography, etc. were commonplace. Occasionally a movie would come out with some new special effect that would blow people away, but overall these older movies just plain sucked for special effects and quality in general. Still, a lot of us were science fiction and horror fans and kept going hoping the next one would be better.

The original Crysis was the first video game to come out with seriously gorgeous graphics and many of us were willing to support that effort even if the gameplay was mediocre at best. You can support great gameplay all you want, but some of us are more interested in special effects. If a game also plays great, all the better, but I want my special effects and anyone who implies this is merely pettiness and the game dynamics are more important can go fuck themselves.

I jumped in with Cyrsis 2 and it's an ok game. It's certainly very forgetable and doesn't push graphics like Crysis 1 did.

If you don't see how Crysis 2 is a slap in the face to PC gamers then I think you're better off sticking to consoles and snuggling up with mediocore offerings priced at $60 that get hyped to hell and fail to deliver.

Let's get some perspective first shall we? What did you think of the original Crysis?

I think if you're so angry at being 'slapped in the face' by games released on the PC that you might be better off doing something else instead of raging over a game that plenty of other people find to be quite fun.

I love the logic: "Doesn't push graphics" therefore "mediocre". You wanted another benchmark tool, attic, to play on a 460? How would incredible graphics (that you couldn't have used) made the game better for you?

Can someone explain to me why it is a good thing if a game upon release cannot be played on max setting at high resoloution on current top end hardware?

I think I might release a game so badly optimized that it will take a quad SLI Geforce GTX 990 setup from the year 2018 to get playable framerates out of, then you Crysis 2 haters will love it and herald it as pushing things forward. Right? Right?!

The market is fragmented...that is why we have settings..stop being silly.

I haven't played it but I just saw this screencap posted somewhere else, does it look like this? because it is pretty pathetic.

I have played it for about 40 mins at a friend and then decided that Crytek lied, the game was a downgrade on all points and that I wasn't going to buy it...next fallacy?

What was your opinion on Crysis 1 after 40 minutes?

 

[Lonbjerg]

What was your opinion on Crysis 1 after 40 minutes?

"I love this sandbox".

Next fallacy?

I wonder if people think this is progress too:

I am not commenting on the gameplay, or if is fun, or if it suffers from "consolitis". I'm just saying that screenshot looks terrible. Get your shit together.

It does look terrible. What part of the game is that? I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in game, though to be fair I wasn't looking at the floor too much. Can you tell me the original resolution and settings? I'll try that when I get home and see if it makes a big difference. I've only played at 2560x1440 extreme, with 4x SSAA forced in NV control panel.

"I love this sandbox".

Bullshit. 40 minutes play in the original Crysis is about the length of the demo that was released prior to the game going on sale. There is no sandbox in the demo for you to sit there saying "I love this sandbox".

I found Far Cry and Crysis 1 to be generic and bland but Crysis 2 is quite good so far. Not outstanding but quite good. Ultimately there simply isn't enough of a difference between Crysis 1 and Crysis 2 to justify the lurch from the "best game evar" praise for the first game and the "worst game evar" bile that people like you are spouting out.

They are not that different and anyone going on about Crytek being liars, traitors, sell-outs and abandoning the PC is suffering from a paranoid persecution complex.
