Losing interest quickly.

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 12:00 am

First thing about me: I'm a huge fan of first person shooters since Duke Nukem 3D.
Since i have started to buy games from steam i have a very precise idea of how much time i spend on a game.
MW2 MP: 700hrs (still playing some times)
Black Ops: 145hrs (uninstalled from my computer)
Fallout New Vegas:180 hrs
Civilization 5: 89hrs.
Crysis 2: 58hrs... and you know what? I'm losing interest.

I never played Crysis 2 2 hours in a row...i just couldn't because the game is quiet frustrating.

You promised the most beautiful graphics ever: you failed
You are trying to prevent the game from piracy and Hackers: you failed but it's not entirely your fault.
The game is not finished and we have still some serious issues that shouldn't be seen and a game that is supposed to be the "BEST FPS OF THE YEAR" (sorry it's a fail to..).

Now my patience has ended.

3 days ago i bought portal 2... and what the f***k i know what is missing to Crysis 2! Reliability and FUN!!

The only way to make people play to your game is fixing your mistakes before trying to sell us a new DLC.
And i think it would be good that:

-Crytek must admit their mistakes
-Release a free DLC to make us play your game a little longer and to have the feeling that Crytek doesn't consider us like idiots.

In my case i won't play your game until next patch.

2 little robots maximum ownaged the nanosuit...i just can't believe it.

Welcome to the Crytek friendzone. You keep returning in hope for improvements and some love, but all you get is a hug and a pat on the shoulder.
50% of the pc users in this forum seem to suffer from it ^^

If Crytek is actually going to admit mistakes, it'd blow me away. Heck they don't even say what exacly they are planning to pathc. There is no actual conversation with the community.

Funny you should mention Portal 2. I love that game too but after finishing it in just a few hours there is nothing left to do with that game. Have to wait for DLC/SDK....talk about longevity.

even blackops suffered from bugs errors and more

people complained alot also

people complain about the insane mappack prizes

but people still play it and people still buy those mappacks

i bet crytek releases dx 11 and a free mappack then everybody forgot what happend at the beginning and thats it.

4 mappacks later everyone bought them and then something else starts to complain at.

the only way to show that you dont like the way crytek treatend you is to not buy any game from them our not buy any upcoming mappacks.

atleast i wont

BF3 my last hope

but then again thats also (EA) and they also not have the name of supporting the community.

Did they? I have played Crysis 1 and switched to Crysis 2 after 1h and what shock me is how amazing environment in Crysis 2 even with low res textures looks like. Fact is that CryENGINE 3 in C2 give us things which wasn't available in C1 powered by CryENGINE 2, actually what moders create for C1 (the extreme quality graphic mod) is now available in C2 from beginning thanks to CE3.
Crysis 2 have fantastic rich environment, lighting, character animation and face rendering, shadows and many more. So what that textures from 2 inches have huge pixels since what really counts is how generally everything looks, and right now there is no other game with look better than Crysis 2. (ofc im not counting C1 since it is pure benchmark for PC rather than good game >.>).

No im not kidding, if you actually stop wearing CryENGINE 2 fanboy glasses you will notice that CryENGINE 3 as an engine not C2 game have way more advanced character animations, shadows and even lighting than CryENGINE 2.
Few days ago when i played C1 is saw something that strike me really hard, there was almost no shadows nor proper lighting over character face. Also character animation in C2 is more smooth than in C1, you can argue how much you want and i am not gonna stop you since you clearly don't know what are you talking about.

True dat.

Crysis 2 graphics can use less blur and more HDR and textures, definitely not the best out there.

I personally don't know why you are all complaining as much as you are... but hey, I have an idea: For everyone that thinks Crysis 2 is so horrible, when the SDK comes out, I invite you to make a better game. Submit your game to the community and let's see what kind of feedback you get. In fact, given the success that mods such as Project Reality have seen, I'm sure if you get together with enough members from the forums you could create a mod that would rival C2. I doubt it will happen, but I don't consider anything impossible.

Another thing (and this doesn't apply to anyone whose first language is something other than English): Can you all please go back to school and learn proper spelling and grammar? The way you all type and formulate your "arguments" is childish and very difficult to be taken seriously when you look at how you've written your posts. Take the time to actually write something that someone would want to read and doesn't have to decipher your poor writing in order to make some sense out of the post.

Post some actual facts, something more than "ohhnnoes C2 textures look so bad when i hit wall with my head", and then you can say what look bad. The fact is that many thing look better than those created by CE2, and like i said advanced character animation is just a starter. [period]

Edit:
I did that as my private clip for friend, but it jsut show how character faces in C1 was not natural and lack proper shaders/lighting:

CE3 is a great engine, yes, the shaders and animations are almost like FB2.0. But this engine lacks destructibility. Or this game did.

I reckon this game did,but i think that the engine is capable of doing a lot more than just seen in this game.I think that this particular title svcks because of the console downtone of everything that was already included in C1 and what was promised for C2,like tessellation and other goodies.

Only game lack destruction like we had in C1, they simply were forced to make some effect/thing a bit cheaper so consoles won't die. CE3 itself is freaking powerful and even in C2 he still show some superiority over graphic from C1, like advanced character animation, color grading, shadows, lighting, etc.

lol that stuff won't be out until August when anyone who would have had interest in modding this game will have long moved on.

People who want mod with CE3 won't move on anywhere, they simply wont run around forum posting 1234 useless things over and over. And actually there is no other engine atm which is wort of attention from moders. Those who work on UE/UE2/UE3, Havoc, CE/CE2 or any other engine will keep working, those who want work on CE3 will simply wait without making fuss on forum. If you are seeing moderd around that doesn't mean that they aren't around.

Doesn't that show their failure? A few spots where it excels instead of the whole game? The irony of your post is you prove peoples points you are trying to counter. Sure CE3 is probably better that 2. However they didn't use it. They didn't make it to use the engine fully. They had the perfect plateform to do that with and what did they do? Ported it over from a console architecture, took a crap in a tumbler ran it for a few minutes then pulled out a polished turd, boxed it and slapped "For PC" on them. They didn't even take the time to properly turn it into a PC game.
It's been proven the textures are lower quality. The excessive amount of blurring and bloom in this game show (remove them with the third party tool...cause you know...the option isn't built into the game) they are hiding the less than Crysis 1 graphics. I didn't pay $60 bucks for a game where the graphics at some places are better then a game they made four years prior. Graphics are only part of this games issue.

Hell, I have a great respect for Eidos and SquareEnix for holding back the release date of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I just read how they are working at making the PC version work like a PC game. Adding better graphics and graphic options. Adding PC common gameplay, controls, inventory control etc. Unlike Crytek they are working hard to create a quality PC game. At least they are not lying like Crytek did then they said it would be a PC game first!

I think it has good replay value. I love the multiplayer (besides the initial bugs and hackers, which most games have anyways).
I get bored with lots of multiplayers though especially with the best most obvious types of set ups, because they start to seem to easy really. The run and gun with the best weapons and stuff. I consider myself to be pretty dam good at it for the most part and with my favorite set up my average game will be something like 25 and 10 and good games being 30 and 5 or so.

So what to do? Well I suggest you drop the idea of always having the most kills, or highest kdr and try harder more tactical objectives. See if you cant get a 3 person kill with one package of C4? See if you can actually move around the map after every two sniper kills, instead of setting up camp the whole time (ok a general rule of thumb here is after two sniper kills you might want to move anyways cause someone is going to come and try to burn your nest). Do what ever you have to do to call in multiple air strikes in one game?

Of course using your favorite set up gets boring because you know your going to probably end up 27 and 9 most games. Get the kdr out of your head and go for harder tactical challenges it makes it more fun.

Doesn't that show their failure?

What failure, seriously? If they are limited by consoles capabilities, not by engine itself then it's not their fault that game doesn't have fully destructible world (or anything else which can't be handled by consoles), so there is no any failure.
If they could use fully destructible world, but they didn't even when consoles can handle it, THEN you can talk about failure from their side.

But no consoles can't handle fully destructible world, and many other things, so they did what they could to make this game look good even with so huge limitation from console side, and yet graphic is fantastic.

I agree with you my friend, the graphics are not the great problem and you know it, it's amazing, one of the best i've ever seen. The problem is on the multiplayer, nowadays a great fps needs a great multiplayer, its fact.
The only problem in the graphics is destructibility, and that's where CE2 wins CE3, but all the rest CE3 is superior, almost perfect. So let's focus on the real problem, the Multiplayer, and stop complaining of everything.
