The irony in all of this is that PC gamers bad talked Crytek for making Crysis 1 that could not run at maximum, and even high, settings for the time. Now Crytek did exactly the opposite with Crysis 2 - keeping the framerate above 30 on a decent gaming rig - and PC gamers are still upset and unsatisfied. Some PC gamers speak like Crytek owes them DX11 because it's expected.



pc gamers mad because crysis 2 doesnt push high end hardware because crysis 2 has been focusing on the consoles/older computers. Besides, its easy to have good fps in cry2 when theres no destruction, no environment interactivity, lower view distances, etc. But this is 2011, the game should look much better than a modded cry 1.

lack of dx10/11 is just one of the things that contribute to lowering the graphical bar of crysis 2, which was promised to be much better than cry 1. maybe its better than cry 1 vanilla, but not modded cry1.

dont talk about pc gamers like you know anything about pc gamers.


Crysis 2 doesn't push high end hardware? You don't know what you're talking about! Crysis 2 has been using my GPU basically at 95% and above the whole time it runs. Also Crysis 2 uses Quad Core processors (and up to 8 cores), something Crysis 1 never did, at max. I have a quad core processor and it has been getting close to the maximum core temperature because all cores are being use close to their maximum. Name another PC game that use Quad Core CPU's at max and GPU's at max simultaneously... you can't because PC games don't. This proves that Crysis 2 is not a port from the consoles to the PC.

I do agree that Crysis did make smaller maps and lowered the view distance for console purposes, but that doesn't mean they cut back on image quality. So far Crysis 2 looks damn good compared to the "vanilla" version of Crysis 1. The textures in Crysis 1 compared to Crysis 2 look like garbage is a lot of areas. Also hearing you say Crysis 2 might look better that Crysis vanilla but not as good as modded Crysis isn't helpful for your argument because Crysis 2 will probably receive the same amount of modding Crysis 1 did and will most likely be made to look better than Crysis 1 because it uses more resources so it can be pushed further.

I have been a PC gamer since I ever got into gaming, which has been around 10 years. My personal opinion on consoles is that they are expired **** that is holding back the greater potential of PC hardware. The reason I choose to defend Crytek and not immature cry-baby PC gamers who cancel their pre-orders just because of one feature, that is still going to be included but only later, is because Crytek's superior work still shows despite some little graphical cutback decisions; it utilizes hardware's resources,it still looks damn good, and it performs excellent compared to the original Crysis.

Whiplash, don't worry, they'll troll back with 'zomg 'coz it's unoptimized' like the plebs know a thing about coding.

nemsis makes all pc gamers
look bad holy....
im a graphic whore also but damn pirating a game because it has dx9 is so pathetic
game will be amazing with console graphics and legendary with crysis graphics
so go tell your mom to get you another 6970 jajaja

and as much as consoles are not as poweful as PCs crytek worked some freaking miracles to make crysis 2 look that good on them....period. If anything their hard work should be praised

Everything you said is true.

The demo was a big let down for me.

I paid €50 on ea to get the pre-order. That is cancelled.

Local games store wants €35 for a pre order hard copy, asked myself...what the heck is going on?

So, in April, i will be getting the hard copy, and focus on SP, i am so not interested in MP.

If you add a cod style game play, it will not feel right, stick to COD if you want COD style, all these perks and game mode i see are a copy and paste from cod with new names.

They are trying to pull the CoD gamers over to Crysis 2.

PS: All I need is the SP

Although a little off-topic, I'd just like to say that back in my day, games (regardless of its medium) were judged by how fun they were to play. Back then, pre-orders were pretty rare too. Demos? Almost unheard of. Just saying. Peace to all those who are sensitive with the issue at hand.

Here's an idea: for every person who religiously complains about the game, why not make a dollar donation to help Japan? They won't be buying the game anyway. Heck, why not make it a $50 donation then? It's better than frequently badmouthing the games and the others who think differently. Remember kids, if you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. Complain if you must, but don't fight others or whine like a spoiled brat. Discipline people, discipline.

Why are people having a hard time understanding why people are pissed at no DX11? It's quite simple, there are people out there who bought hardware upgrades to enjoy this game at its MAXIMUM setting. Nvidia and Crytek have been talking about and advertising DirectX11 for quite some time now, even now on Nvidia.com they are using Crysis 2 as a reason to buy their latest and greatest cards.

So whats so hard to understand? People spent money on hardware because they were told this game would use it.. I'm sorry, but if they don't deliver DX11 features in Crysis 2.. thats simply false advertising.

Do you want to know what is so hard to understand?

It's soooo easy: C2 will get a DX11 patch as from the first day (maybe the second day) the retail version is released

So have fun with your pre-order cancelled DX11 game

I haven't canceled mine. But don't you think its weird that Crytek haven't officially announced a day 1 patch or anything regarding this DX11 situation? The only information we are getting is through rumours, magazines etc? We haven't even seen a single screenshot showing the advanced graphical updates the PC version is supposed to get.

well..well

Yeah for sure ... and at the end there will be no DX11 patch, or what??

Sorry, this everything is so laughable

If crysis 2 is using 95% gpu with crap graphics maybe crysis2 is un-optimized.
And maybe crytek should have spent more time putting dx11 in the game rather than chopping down the game to fit the lowly consoles or creating day 1 dlc.

LOL

Elitism levels rising....

^^

If you use language that is commonly used by console monkeys, It shows how easily swayed you are. Go play tf2 if you cant,or dont want or need better hardware. Leave crysis alone. There are many console port vomits for you to play. PPL spend good money on their pc and is it too much to ask that once in a while a game comes which utilizes full power of their hardware.

This year only two games BF3 and Crysis2 were worthy of my 570. But now crysis 2 is out of the question. PPL with piss poor hardware will get to play lot of crappy looking games so you should not have a problem with ppl wanting few games that have steep hardware requirements

well..well

Yeah for sure ... and at the end there will be no DX11 patch, or what??

No I don't think so, if the DX9 version doesn't look good to him then why would he order on the promise of something rather than waiting to see it?

I'm sure the DX9 version will look good and it will be a fun game to play, but it would have done so too on my GTX 285. I upgraded to 570 to be able to see all the extra effects promised, as did many other people. I also could have played it on my 360 or PS3 for that matter...

Bottom line is.. you don't advertise a game having a specific feature and even market new hardware based on that promise, then pull it back.
I really hope they will deliver this at day 1, if not they have been feeding false advertising to people.

LoL leave Crysis alone? I'm sorry my lack of interest on a specific platform (PC) has indeed cause the game to be ported to my system? Really? WOW I must be a god then!...

No but seriously the simple fact you have to resort to these butt-hurt stinking arguments and the childish name calling accompanied by the etilism fueld PC entitlement only further proves the futility of arguing with you even without touching the validity (or lack thereof) of your points.

Besides what are you still doing here? Should you not be on the BF3 forums? I mean after all we are all either blind fanboys or controller swinging monkeys around here right? We are not worthy of your awesomeness and your e-pen.....errrrmm...I mean your awesome gaming rig!

So come on....just go and everyone wins

LoL leave Crysis alone? I mean after all we are all either blind fanboys or controller swinging monkeys around here right? We are not worthy of your awesomeness and your e-pen.....errrrmm...I mean your awesome gaming rig!



I am glad you came to your senses and now know what you are...either way the thread topic says DX11 which doesnt concern you. PC elitism shouldnt concern you because you are getting best version of crysis2.
Presence or absence of dx 11 doesnt effect console build. Sales or lack of sales on pc doesnt concern console gamers. So y are u here?

Well here's to hoping my $5000 wasn't wasted on this game! HAHA really no sweat I'll be disappointed and ya I can stop telling people how great crysis is. However there will be another upstart company that takes there place always is and Battlefield 3 looks to blow this game outta of the water anyway.

I would love to see the day when crytek announces crysis 3 and again advertises (falsely) that it will be best pc game anybody has seen. And then we pc gamers just say meh...dont care. And nvidia also realizes that and kicks them from their affiliate program.

Basically after the train wreck that crysis 2 is, I would love to see crytek lose its credibility among pc gaming ecosystem

Well here's to hoping my $5000 wasn't wasted on this game! Nowadays, only stupid and wastefull people spend so much money for a gaming-pc.
