The game's got issues. All games have issues. And it took them merely just over a week to release a patch with about 10-20 fixes. Oh, I'm sorry, wasn't that quick enough for you? What'd you want them to do, release a patch an hour after any bug is found? It takes them time to find out the exact conditions that cause the bug. They have to play through the conditions reported the most by the players with their QA team for hours on end, until they can constantly achieve the bug. Then they have to figure out how to fix the things that cause the bug to happen. Then they have to submit it to Microsoft and PlayStation Network. Then they have to wait for it to get verified before being uploaded. Getting the message now?
Also, a majority of the problems can be linked to lag, which will obviously be sorted out over time rather than instantly. Lag isn't something that can be fixed at the flick of a switch: It takes several weeks of server or game optimisation (depending on how the connections is made) before we start to notice a difference. If you want proof of that you need look no further than Gears of War 2. That game took 6 title updates before the servers were no longer nerfed. And in their current state the issues with Crysis 2's multiplayer are nowhere NEAR as bad.
Everyone's also saying the visuals are worse than the original. HELL no. Yeah, it svcks the graphic options have been stripped down to barely anything on the PC version. It svcks even more that the DX11 patch is 2 months away. I'll agree, Crytek have somewhat abandoned the PC community. But it has a much more CGI-like look when compared to Crysis. Crysis, I admit, has the more beautiful environments, but it looks more gamey. Crysis 2 on the other hand looks more like a top-quality animation than a video game. And Crysis 2 seems to be a helluva lot better optimised as well.
So please, respectfully STFU and wait.
Or you can just sell the game. Then you don't have to whine, and we don't have to hear you whine. Problem solved.
