Do Game Engines EVER Work?

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 8:31 am

I'm probably opening myself up to a wide range of criticism and flaming BUT- Everyone complains that the Crysis engine is "buggy" or "glitchy" and I've read LOTS of posts about how "in need of cleaning" the CryTek Engine is. I've been gaming for longer than most gamers have been alive and I have to say... I don't see it.
This game seems no more "glitchy" than other elaborate high action/detailed FPS games. Yeah okay sometimes when moving around I get stuck on a weird angled surface, and sometimes the systems hangs for just a split second, and the AI is retarded, but that happens with EVERY game regardless of hardware or developer. In CoD games I'd occasionally get stuck turning a 90° corner, I would sometimes watch Gears of War hang/lag for a fraction of a second during all the bullet fire when the "cover" commands overlap, I don't think Oblivion EVER got fixed, and I've already started finding little "bugs" in RAGE, and finally I have NEVER met an AI that I thought was "good." Everyone should know when they are playing with a machine- predictable patterns!
Anyone want to point my eyes towards a blatant glitch in Campaign or MP that ruins the game?

I've been gaming for more than 24 years and I got to ask, "do games ever really work?" Bugs, glitches, and various colorful problems in games give them their character.

Just on the stage when u meet prophet again and u gotta defend him in the alien battle right after u wipe them all out he just stayed frozen there. Finally after i rebooted the whole game it fixed,i beat it that day now im working on delta mode. Btw another random bug is some kinda laser on the screen comes out,only seen it a few times,sux that im sure crytek wont even release a single patch for this game either.O well still worht buying it,i like this game better than crysis 2 in some ways.

Man you must be a PC gamer with all your problems. I'm not hating on PC i mean i just upgraded my pc so i can play games on it and i do like it, but you'll almost never see a console player (unless they're playing COD) whine about lags and bugs and glitches as much as PC gamers. You have to admit, it's not giving off a good impression of PC gaming.
