Are we really Crytek's fanbase anymore?

Post » Thu Mar 31, 2011 3:40 am

I mean, c'mon.
They don't listen to us.
They destroyed everything that was great about 'Crysis'.
Crysis WAS unique, but Crysis 2 isn't :(

What can we do to get a better game?
I am so disappointed and sure Crysis 3 will be the same FAIL as Crysis 2 is (because of multiplatform).

Crysis 2 is a good game, it just lacks private servers, reporting of hackers, and a option to have a game mode only server option.

there wont be Crysis 3
Not for me. This was the last time I blindly bought a game when I saw the trainwreck it was going to ensue well before release. From now on, it's Valve games and anything outside of it is going to be researched to hell and back.

To OP, nope. They clearly went console-centric, there's more money in there and more stupid people attached to that money, screw the original player base that made them who they are now.

Why doesn't Crytek react to all the rage happening in the forums? WHY?
I mean, it's obvious that they don't want to create a game better on PC than on consoles.
Oh I remember the time Crysis 1 was released.. good times :|

I expected so much from Crysis 2.

I guess that this is the problem for many of the people who don't like crysis 2. I never played crysis 1, but I got crysis 2 and loved it from start to finish. Now I bought crysis 1 and am trying it out, personally I have way more issues with crysis 1 than I did with crysis 2 hehe, but its 4 years old so I guess I can't complain much.

I dont think Crytek can be blamed entirely. EA also shares some blame.

My conspiracy theory is that EA knowingly crapped out on pc version. Now their is a huge gaping hope left in the pc market which will be filled by EA's own BF3. EA does not own Crytek, so it cant get full profit. Plus crytek might switch publishers, thereby taking PC gamers (with constitute 30% for their revenue..........refer to last year's EA financial report) to a rival publisher. Crysis could have very well become BF series competitor.

AMD supports BF for dx11(and thereby supporting EA ) where as Nvidia supports Crytek which does not directly involves EA.
Crysis has a dedicated mod and gaming community which is a threat to BF3's dominance on PC.

Basically EA wanted a Halo/COD hybrid which it can milk in the start of the year when neither Halo or COD is released.
EA has something that competes with COD and Halo. But It's competitors have nothing that can rival BF3.
EA also knew and marketed Crysis 2 to pc gamers based upon false promises and Crytek's past reputation.

All in All EA atleast shares 40% blame....BF3 FTW

Meh, I think that there will be a concluding sequel to Crysis (like all good trilogy games do), which addresses every problem that the previous 2 had.

Like the Halo trilogy, Halo 1 introduced the game mechanics and story and raised the bar for sci-fi FPS's, Halo 2 tried to focus on the story, but almost failed because of the ending (but redeemed itself with a revamped multiplayer experience via Xbox Live). Halo 3 looked effing epic when it came out and had what was thought to be a mastery of story mode and online mode, before it was raqed by COD4 in 2007. (not sure if that last sentence was grammatically correct)

I think Crysis 3 (if it will be released) may be heading in that direction.

You're logic makes no sense. Crytek CAN'T listen to us because most threads are buried to fast for when they have their two main moderators THAT HAVE LIVES check. In addition, they can't answer back because their too busy already fixing the problems at hand and are trying to finish off DX11 to give to us. Not to mention finishing Sandbox Editor 3 in order to compete with UDK.

You have no proper points on what they ruined that was great about Crysis. Last I checked, Crysis had a multiplayer fanbase of a few hundred consistent gamers AND many considered the story mediocre and cried they couldn't run the game. Crysis 2, is STILL fun on PC except is now controller friendly, AND it has a good multiplayer unlike Crysis 1 multiplayer and Crysis Wars. The only problem with Crysis 2 MIGHT be that it is a bit more linear (BUT Crysis 1 was linear too. Stop saying it's a full on sandbox, IT'S NOT, it's actually a coregraphed sandbox itself really. Crysis 2 is more coregraphed AND in Crysis 2, there's still the play how you want aspect in the game. It traded MAXIMUM GAME for MAXIMUM GAMING, if you know what I mean. That's for the better IMO), and worse textures (but even some textures are to the standards of Crysis 1. Also don't forget DX11 is going to make the game look better AND Crysis 2 has superior, lighting, shadows, AA, and water effects than Crysis 1. I think people are under the impression it looks worse because it's not on an island. Also, you guys keep comparing Crysis 2 with modded Crysis 1 not vanilla Crysis 1).

You're most likely dissapointed because this game didn't fail on consoles. Get off your high horse, seriously. Appreciate that Crytek is still trying to improve the game as it is even more, understand why it wasn't finished (it has to do with EA not giving Crytek the time to properly finish since they wanted the game out in order to get sales as soon as possible since this is their March 2011 financial quarter sales), AND stop being under the impression that "DERP, MULTIPLATFORM=svckY GAME." Idiot.

You stupid? Crysis 1 was NOT a huge success to Crytek. Success=good sales. The amount of blood, sweat, and tears put into CryEngine 2 and Crysis 1 WAS NOT worth the amount of money Crytek got. They sold a decent amount of copies but first off, those sales had most money go to EA. The rest was sent to Crytek and then split between the team. Looking at what each person got, IT"S NOT A LOT OF MONEY considering the time and effort thrown into Crysis 1. That's why Crytek expanded to consoles. They aren't going to spend years on a game just to make a small profit; they worked their ASSES off and they expect high figures when they release the game.

Just because they expanded to consoles DOES NOT mean they don't love PC. Look at Valve; THEY expanded to consoles but LOVE THE **** outta PC.

You **** retard.

So you know to say they were not happy making one of the landmarks in gaming? You know they were counting for sims or WoW-like sales when they were working on C1? Interesting.

On topic: I know I'm not.

meh... I liked the single player... and since I don't play CoD for a reason, I understood when I bought it that's what I was getting.

though then again, I would think getting this for MP a console mistake... after all, they havent been here since game 1... we have... and did anyone REALLY buy Crysis 1 for MP? Or Warhead?

Wars was a vast improvement over the original Crysis MP. The only thing I wish Crysis 2 had was a true 'classic' mode where the maps are arena style and everyone starts with the same gun. Any weapons other than the starter should be found in the map. On-the-fly customization in MP would be nice too... I'm certain that the community (if we ever do get access to CryEngine 3), will create such a mod for the Multiplayer.

And I still find that I can enjoy the Crysis 2 multiplayer, but that's changed all too quickly because of one module: Energy Transfer.

And to answer the topic question: We are not the sole fanbase, but we are certainly the most outspoken.

Every time I think of Wars with real-time Nanosuit-customization, I can only dream. Dream of what could have been.

I'm absolutely a Crytek fan. I haven't played MP yet, but SP so far is awesome. I admit that I am not blown away by C2 like I was with C1, but to call it a fail is frankly baffling. It's better looking than all but about 10 games in the history of all gamedom, is fully multiplatform, has the nanosuit (awesomness), and has extremely impressive level design. The AI (when it's not being buggy) may be the best I've ever seen in an FPS.

Crytek is wisely ignoring people or are hating on something for no discernible reason other than it didn't live up to the fabricated, unquantifiable expectations of a bunch of lunatics.

Because it's a sequel. :P

They do listen to us. Look at the patches and aftermarket support! Don't be so pessimistic.

I don't think it would make sense for Crytek to respond to the fanatical and unreasonable responses on the forum. Most of the whiners CANNOT be reason with so why bother.
