Most people that have played Crysis and Crysis Warhead were most likely expecting nothing less than the phenomenon that shook even the highest-end PCs.
Now that Crysis 2 has been out for about 2 weeks, and I'm sure most of us here have already played it, how satisfied are you with Crysis 2?
Crysis 2 ran up a little, oh wait scratch that, extremely, short of my expectations to be honest, even without factoring in the countless glitches. Sure you can say this is just another one of THESE threads, but then again, if Crytek does not fix their "phenomenon" soon, Crysis 2 will be just another one of THESE games out there, ones that we play and forget.
What made Crysis so unique and stunning was the fact that it was truely a step ahead, with photorealistic graphics and a very solid, open environment gameplay to back it up. That made Crysis one of the greatest PC games ever.
Sure some of you may say Crysis 2 has impressive and pretty graphics as well, but when you really take a look around at the current market, it doesn't look so much better than those other games now does it? Maybe even not as good? Clearly Crysis 2 does not have the graphics lead by a margin this time around, if it even has the lead at all, and for those of you that played the game, you know the game is absolutely not open environment, not even a bit. So there goes 2 of the main points that made Crysis distinctive and brilliant, and you get the picture, Crysis 2 is probably not as good as Crysis and Crysis Warhead, don't you think?
Let's not talk about the gameplay, but turn to the actual glitches that NEEDS to be fixed, and the countless hacks that NEEDS to be stopped. I absolutely cannot believe Crysis 2 has this little flickering issue with SLI and CrossFireX computers...I mean, are you even serious? Did Crytek really not expect people with multi-GPU setups to take a shot at Crysis 2, probably because Crysis 1 taught us a lesson? And why does the game play like a pre-beta? You see AI's get stuck in walls, obejects, and even spawning randomly for God's sake, when the hell did you start working on this game that was supposed to be released in Q3 2010? The game was delayed for SIX months, just for this rubbish? OMFGWTF?
Come ON Crytek, get on it and get a patch to FIX the game before the next time you blink. I'm shocked that you guys promised DX11 and now tells us "no official confirmation," are you kidding me? We are your paying customers and we did not pay $59.99 to play your half-assed beta.
