This thread is fucked lol.

Every crysis thread is fucked. I don't know why the mods let more be made. They're always about the same shit... a bunch of PC gamers whining about their game a few saying they're actually having fun. We don't need a new thread every week just to start that same cycle over again.

If the thread is fucked and there are so many like it that you've already read, then I guess you must like reading fucked up shit and then complaining about it. Pretty fucked up if you ask me.

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.

And anyone who tries to contradict me (as you have just attempted to) obviously hasn't played the game on such a system at 2560x1440 at max details, or simply isn't as sensitive to FPS drops as I am. So your attempt at discrediting what I said falls flat on its face for a simple reason: I own such a system and it's clear that you don't.

Something must be horribly wrong with their system then, because I have an i5-2500k and a single GTX570. It plays constant 60fps w/ vsync and everything maxed. Even in 3D it rarely drops below 50. Unless they've built an array of 4 monitors chained together something is wrong or they're full of shit.

At what resolution? In the single player campaign you never experienced a drop below 60fps, even on the rooftop (escape) scenes (the one that's similar to the multiplayer map).

All of the hyperbole about how easy this game is to run and therefore how Crytek made no effort to make the game visually appealing is 'a crock of shit' (since both of you are so fond of using that term).

And I can agree with you there. In the original Crysis hundreds were whining about how the game is boring and a slideshow and 'optimized poorly' (whatever that means).

Now that Crytek design a game to be playable by a wider audience (and why would a game developer want more people to enjoy the fruit of his labour? Shocking!), they are getting blasted for not producing the exact same product as the first Crysis.

I'd bet that Crysis 2 will outsell Crysis 1 (global sales - cross platform) significantly, and that's exactly what Crytek desired, considering they were reasonably disappointed with the sales of Crysis 1.

I'd also bet that the DX11 patch will be greeted with lots of screenshot analysis and whining that a pizza in a box on a street doesn't have accurately melted cheese depicted on it, or tessellated grease stains and blood spatter analyses. It isn't pushing 'the boundaries' (by this I mean demanding 4x 580s with waterblocks) therefore it's a failure of a game. I get it. Now, why is every Crysis thread dominated by a few trolls seeking to define what the game ought to have been? You don't like it? Good for you. I like it. Yay!

Ok firstly, who the hell actually expects Microsoft to support or even bother to spend 1 minute of employee time worrying about DX11 on an OS they should have stopped supporting the day Win7 was released. It's 10 years old FFS. Were you all still running win98 back in 2008?

Secondly, if the quality of a game to you comes down to whether some lighting effect is done in DX9 or DX11 then you are seriously missing the point of a game. Games are meant to be fun. Yes it's nice when it looks good and such, why would you get so hung up about the lack of DX11 to the point of declaring those that made the game a team of backstabing swindlers.

Need I also point out, I bet those complaining probably pirate the game anyway.

Ok Crysis 2 doesn't completely rape your system. That's now a bad thing? Huh? A game that is so resource heavy it takes 3 years after it's release for hardware to come out that can run it on max settings is NOT a game that should be praised as some amazing gift to PC gamers.

Honestly, if you don't like the game, don't BUY it. But don't think you represent all other PC gamers out there and that we all give a crap about how technical the graphics engine is. If the game is fun and plays well, it's a good game. End of story.

Millions love Minecraft. Minecraft is PC only. I don't see any minecraft forums lamenting the lack of DX11 do you?

I'm suprised you didn't use "farmville" as an example instead....but you are confusing diffrenet demographics.

Single moms playing farmville have a very slim chance of being the target group for CryTek...nice try though.

Explain how exactly.

No dx11 support? That hardly means the game is ruined.

It was designed with consoles in mind? Well yeah, as are 90% of games these days. Doesn't mean they can't be good, fun games.

Putting a game down because it's primary development platform wasn't pc just makes you seem like an elitist. And kinda petty...

I'll assume you are being deliberately ironic.

I think sometimes people get so hung up about one particular aspect of a game they forget to actually play and enjoy the game. Crytek has not betrayed anyone. You haven't got any monetary investment in it before it's release, it's their game, you decide if you wish to pay to play or not. If certain aspects turn you off it so much it's simple, don't go near it.

Did you read this thread from the first post and forward?
If yes, I am wondering why I have to repeat myself?

If no, I am wondering why I should bother to reply you?

Don't worry I paid for Crysis and Crysis Warhead...I won't be buying Console 2.

And again, please read the thread....otherwise it just gets silly...

now watch as dx11 shows little effect to the point where you need a magnifying glass and side by side comparison shot to notice.
As it is it still looks better than the majority other games ever made...yet amazingly some people are just never happy until it has some newer tech name attached to it.
What if this game used OpenGL? oh gawd the humanity!

I did read the thread. You claimed Crysis 2 was a shooter on rails and that the sandbox has been taken away from you.

I think you need to adjust your definition of what 'on rails' means, otherwise you might find it difficult to enjoy any future games.

I don't really understand how Crysis 2 is so horribly dumbed down in your eyes to the point of it being terrible and yet you played, and presumedly enjoyed Crysis 1. Yes you have lost SOME freedom of movement but I don't really see how a city environment compared to a generic jungle could have possibly avoided that.

:hmm: I think you may be confusing me with somebody else. I've always been of the opinion that Crysis 2 looks fine aside from some low res textures. I never said it was a BAD thing it runs so well on my PC, I built it specifically for this game so I expected it to run well. Don't lump me into that same group that thinks the game looks bad because I've been arguing with them from day 1 already.

It is.
You have exits and a narrow path leading you them.
Going on the right or the left side of the trail isn't a "sandbox".

I think you need to adjust your definition of what 'on rails' means, otherwise you might find it difficult to enjoy any future games.

I enjoy games that support "sandbox"...and where you can use you brain.
Games like "EVE - Online" or "ARMA2"


I don't really understand how Crysis 2 is so horribly dumbed down in your eyes to the point of it being terrible and yet you played, and presumedly enjoyed Crysis 1. Yes you have lost SOME freedom of movement but I don't really see how a city environment compared to a generic jungle could have possibly avoided that.

Keep the mapsizes as in Crysis, stop making fake "barriers"(you know shooter-on-rails-you-must-walk-here-!!!), stop dumbing down physics, stop lowering the I.Q., don't nooter the A.I....and don't lie about "PC being a focus"...when all we got was "Console 2"/"Crysis of Duty" shite.

It might very well be an AWESOME game for consol owners...but for PC gamers it sucks.
Plain and simple.

And why don't you list the SPECIFICS about the downgrade from Crysis to "Console 2" that I have mentioned that you disagree with?

That you don't understand how "Console 2" is dumbed down is your problem.
But that dosn't mean it's not dumbed down.

It just shows you are one of the few that don't get that is serverly dumbed down *shrugs*

Do you have any idea how much of a fanboy you are? You have said dumbed down about 50 times, crapboxes about 20 and have implied several times that all pc gamers should be offended personally that they had the notion of selling the game to us!

For a supposed 35 year old you sure are getting upset that a game doesn't quite meet your lofty expectations.

Hrm. I was referring to your comment that the person who said Crysis 2 can tax 580s in SLI (overclocked) and an overclocked 2600K is "full of shit". That person is me. I play at extreme settings at 2560x1440. There are situations where the fps (in an FPS) drops almost uncomfortably low for me. I gave an example of a part of the single player campaign where this occurs. To be fair, there were only 1 or 2 parts of the game where this happened.

My point is that, if people wanted it to 'push the genre forward' (in graphics only), very, very few people would be able to play that form of the game with smooth as butter framerates. Funnily enough, it's people who don't have 'extreme' rigs who are doing the most clamoring, as I see it anyway. The game is pretty. It's not as pretty as it could have been (and in some scenarios it isn't as pretty as Crysis 1).

But Crysis 1 was almost unplayable (for those who like eye candy) for quite a while after it came out (at decent resolutions). That Crysis 2 was designed to be playable on a broader spectrum of computer setups, and that Crytek said it would be like this months before the release of the game, ought not to be a problem for people who enjoy games for gaming's sake.

If you wanted an ultra demanding benchmark, that is not a grounds for dismissing this game as such. I begin to wonder how many of the people complaining have actually played the single player campaign. If you haven't played the game, and you have only seen screenshots, it seems absurd (to me, as a gamer) for you to dismiss a game that is a lot of fun, just because pizza in a box on a street of New York is not as pretty as it could have been otherwise.

Namecalling is not allowed in V&G.
And you can hardly call me a fanboy of "console 2" *shrugs*

I am writing to you know, since you disagree...and yes I have stated the facts...you made me state them 1 time more, because you insisted that I repeat myself.
Your mess...not mine.

For a supposed 35 year old you sure are getting upset that a game doesn't quite meet your lofty expectations.

I get annoyed when lied to(by Crytek).
I get annoyed when people force me to repeat myself (as in you)
I am hardly upset.

Did you have a relevant point BTW?

What you own is an extreme monitor. I'm sure if I hooked up twelve monitors with a billion pixels I could get Pong to run poorly. Maybe you should try it by hooking up an IBM T221 with 3840X2400 resolution and see if that cures your problem.

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.
