I've been telling you guys that Crytek has forsaken PC gamers. What I got in return was people calling me a whiny baby. All the warning signs were there in plain sight and it took the final release for you guys to finally see it. I'm so glad I decided not to buy this game. I cannot believe they're charging an extra $10 for this mess, too. What a slap in the face.

Thank you Crytek for Far Cry, Crysis, and Crysis Warhead, but Crysis 2 is a stinker. Good luck with your new console fanbase. I just wish you didn't **** on your old fanbase so hard and so quickly.

Hopefully more people will start playing wars again

I have no idea why everyone is complaining about crysis 2....there are bugs for a first day release?? UNHEARD OF.

I'm having the time of my life. Best FPS I've ever played on MP and SP. How can you judge the game by what the people are posting on a forum? Everyone who is having difficulty is parading the forums, everyone else is out enjoying the game. You're collecting evidence from a pool of people that only strengthens your own opinion. That's retarded.

It's not just about the bugs, genius.

Have you really read most of the threads lately....they go something like this...

BUBBA: uh i can't connect cause im too stupid to open up ports on my router or dmz and have no idea what a farwall is....is that one of them thangs where you stack wood and cook....

JOBOB: FU Krietech....yall done gone to console luvin......Im a PC E'litest an I paid guud money fur my Pentum 4 and 8400gs...werz my Direck Ex Leven....yall sed it was on here.

WILLIEB: Yeh wut he sed ...

BUBBA: MY SLEYE and Crossfir nut workin...i got the latest dravers strate of the disk that my video card came wit. My skreens a flashin neon writin like a budwiser sign..ATI sed it was d games falt...but i nevr herd of a profile befur.

WILBER: Des here grafics suc......why's my toaster not workin..........an my kars runnin funny kuz i used et to pik up dis game so it musn be Krietegs fault.

GOMEZ: Yall gotta see des grafics there tarrible.....glad i didn bye it but i seen wun them videos on utube and it was really bad lookin n stuff.

I mean really guys most of the stupid crap im hearing are things that sound related to hardware issues or plain ignorance on how to troubleshoot basic computer issues....and OP how the fk do you know what the game is like if you didn't buy it, cause you are a blind sheep listening to people moaning without check out issues yourself. A big percentage of people here could figure out their issues if they took the time to google them, just because your game runs in a computer does not mean that Crytek and EA are responsible for tech supporting your incompatible hardware config or unstable overclock or providing you drivers that are the responsibility of the video card manufacturer.

dude, are you kidding? Have you really not noticed the HUGE chances and blatant consolization that occurred?


Only 3 graphics settings? WTF! This symbolically sums up what Crytek did.

No Cry Editor 3

Dumbed down suit controls

Way smaller maps

WORSE Graphics! Its true. Look at the comparison video on IGN and the graphics do not change between platforms.

DX 9... really? Yes, I know they said they would add dx 11 but they've been awfully quiet about that lately.

COD style multiplayer.


I always considered Crytek, Valve and Bioware the last bastions of PC gaming. Now only one is left

Hopefully more people will start playing wars again



Yep, still the best game around.

Hardly. Wars is a mere shadow of it's true former self. The original multiplayer was far better than Wars, but it ultimately got destroyed by bugs, silly decisions (both from the community and Crytek) and generally how the whole game was handled.

EDIT: Personally, I don't consider any single game to be the 'best' over all the others.

you're blind if u dont see the difference in graphics between console versions and PC...very blind. the ground textures alone are a huge difference.

Warhead didnt get an editor for a few weeks after release...it wasnt quite ready. the leak for this game apparently had an editor ...my guess is it's not ready so they didnt release it to public yet..they probably will especially since they're releasing a free dev kit for Cryengine 3 anyway.

the graphical settings have nothing to do with console porting as consoles dont have different graphical options. I have no idea why they limited this, can easily be patched if enough people ask for more customzation..and if tehy care.

MP is not like CoD. people that svck at it will think that. It requires a lot more thinking and aiming precision rather than just camping and spray and pray. I read some user reviews saying its ALL About armor mode...no its not. You can kill someone in armor mode faster than they kill you....if you aim at their head and they dont. This game is all about headshots..which is a very good thing. shotgun of course is an exception.

Hark is just mad cause Major_Sheppard didn't by the game so he'll never be reunited with his gay lover.

The only thing that smells is the comment you made (and that of your fellow nerdrageurs) whining about the lack of PC exclusivity.

When was the last time a shooter was PC-exclusive?

If I'm not mistaken, it was the original Crysis - a game with real requirements so high, that most PCs of the day could not play it *at all* out of the box. Instead, they required serious upgrades (to CPU, GPU, or both). A game that lacked x64 support (and required two patches to get it right) at launch. A game that had its own issues with multi-GPU drivers (both CrossFire and SLI). And you want a repeat of that?

As a PC gamer that traces his *shooter roots* back to the original Doom, I must humbly, but emphatically say, "No thank you very much!"

I've never played a console-based shooter (in fact, I have never owned a console, of any generation). I just recently (in fact, within the past six months) got hardware that was capable of handling the *original Crysis*. Quite frankly, when word of Crysis 2 hit the Internet, I was worried that I would be left wanting yet again - by either console exclusivity (as had happened with Gears of War 2) or incredibly high hardware requirements (as in the original Crysis).

Fortunately, Crytek did neither.

The lack of DX11 (and hardware requirements otherwise identical to that of the original Crysis) means that average Joes and Janes (even those on laptops and notebooks) can play the game out of the chute. For the first time ever, we have an FPS playable on average PC hardware from a AAA developer! CoD: MW promised that, but didn't deliver. Not even close. MW2 was even more disappointment for the owner of the average PC.

Apparently, Crytek thought differently about the original Crysis than a lot of the haters - they thought it was a mistake locking out so much of the PC gaming audience. So, instead of repeating themselves, and going all-high-end again (and proving exactly nothing - the original Crysis, if not the original FarCry - showed that Crytek can certainly build a high-end FPS), Crytek went low. Not just to consoles, but to the middle-of-the-road PC. If anything, the consoles may have been an afterthought - the real meat of their audience remains PC gamers - just not the high-end PC gamer.

Why would Crytek do this?

Consider where Crytek is based - the EU. While those of us in North America have had it bad, the EU has had it worse. Much worse. The hardware upgrade market is in even worse shape in the EU than it is in North America, and it's in poor shape here.

Given that, maybe Crytek realized that creating another game following in Crysis' high-end footsteps would, instead of being welcomed, would be seen as a slap in the face of cash-strapped gamers?

Are the haters that divorced from economic reality?

crysis is to crysis 2 as far cry is to far cry 2

If you come to this forum to see if this game is worth it, don't come here. It's full of PC gaming elitists who only complain about graphics and little things that hint the slight of bit of consolization. Christ, they thought "Press Start to begin" was the biggest issue in the demo rather than when the module upgrades weren't working and the fact that people still couldn't login. A+ gamesas community, you screwed up the game yourself.

Good luck with your new console fanbase. I just wish you didn't **** on your old fanbase so hard and so quickly.
The thing is that the console crowd are busy playing MW2 and Blackops to notice another game on their favorite systems.

I've been telling you guys that Crytek has forsaken PC gamers. .

Can you really blame them? Judging by the posts on this very forum, PC Gamers come across as a bunch of rude, whiny ASSHOLES with a false sense of entitlement. I'm actually embarrassed to be a gamer after reading a lot of these posts. I honestly think the complainers were gonna complain no matter what. They knew what they were getting. There were plenty of videos and there was even a demo. I think these cry babies just want to feel self important so they rant on a forum hoping that another real-life social outcast agrees with them, because in real life people treat them with the lack of respect they deserve.

AVP - that isn't why I came here.

I'm quite aware the game is worth it. Otherwise, I would not bother replying to all this nerdrage at a picnic (if I had known there would be this much whine and headcheese, I wqould have packed some Ritz crackers and potato salad).

I came here to point out to some that not everyone that has the game hates it.

There are players on the PC who love the game itself, and appreciate a game that doesn't require a ton of (hardware) upgrades to just be playable.

Ehhhh, I dont know were you found that part about the "PC hardare market in Europe" but, I live in Europe, and I havn't seen a single thing change in the hardware market, except that we get new technology, and peaople buy it. I live in Norway, and I had a powerful gaming PC about 6 moths, then I switched to a Asus G74JH for about 6 months ago.

So atleast for me, I would prefered a High-End game again, but also Crysis 1 is like the best looking game still.
But I still would have had a new game which set the standards in high graphics for another 4 years.

I am so sick of people saying Crysis (1) was unplayable for most PC's.
At the time, I had a Celeron PC (Celerons are type B pentium CPUs) with an Nvidia 7600, truley a piece of **** PC, yet i played the game at low-medium settings and I had loads of fun with it. A couple of months later i upgraded to a core 2 due and an Nvidia 9800, a PC that lives up for todays standarts, and I played Crysis on a High-Veryhigh configuration, again, had loads of fun, even more.

I did not play the game yet (Crysis 2) since I live in the 25th release date zone, but from what I gather from the demo, reviwes and furoms is that the only real downsides of the game are poor graphical options, day 1 conectivity bugs and slighly glitchey AI. Judging by the demo this game is AWESOME. So shut up.

People who hate Justin Bieber end up talking about him more then any super fan does.
Just like you.

Be a man, move on. More important things in life then this.

I agree with a lot of what's been said here. It's a good thing that the game is open to a much wider audience and can be played on much lower system specs than the original.

My question to all of you is, why couldn't they just give you the option to scale the graphics so you can easily play it on either low end or high end systems and take maximum advantage in both cases?

I have been playing the game on my Dual ATI Video Card computer and I am sort of disappointed. The people as in in-game people are terrible. The backgrounds appear alot like drawings, flat with the white haze and the storyline is average. That is the storyline is average by today's standards of the sci-fi storylines for Alien invasions.

The soldier gameplay is fun. But I have to agree, not so hot. I like one scene where the building I was in was hit by two missiles everything shook, as in an earthquake. Desks, ceilings, chairs. They all stood out as a separate entity. Other parts of the game are well...too flat.
