Fanboys have stated it: Crysis 3 is a benchmark. Is this really what you want gaming to be: a benchmark for technology?
The only thing advertisings of Crysis 3 show is Crytek technology. Never is the gameplay or the story truly praised.
A gaming model that only plans to make people buy hardware is somewhat terrible, and make me wonder if Crytek is really a "gaming company".
What can you do with 50 dollars. Do you wanna buy a benchmark, or, with the same amount of money, buy indie games, or other games with a true story or gameplay?
Crysis 3 show the dark side of gaming.
When technology prevails on story or gameplay, video games are doomed.
