"All this stuff starts going up in pieces and even if someone downloads it and plays it themselves they might make a bad decision based on the fact that there are so many bugs in it. ‘Oh, there are so many bugs in the game I wanted to play. It’s so buggy, I’m not gonna buy it now.’"

its not the bugs sister..

its not the bugs sister.. I swear Crysis haters dont even play other games. That or they're such big fanboys they don't notice the games they like [every other fps] is no better in terms of story-which is the biggest complaint I keep hearing about crysis 1 and 2. It's still better than "OMG TERRORIST GOT A NUKE" story that keeps getting rehashed in movies and such. Incase it wasnt obvious the whole point of Crysis is the nanosuit. It adds variety to a fairly bland fps genre and adds more tactic options in mp. If you're unable to use it properly then you'll hate the game...but that just shows your lack of ability to think on the go.

Am I really the only person who loved the first Crysis' story, cheesiness and all?

ya crysis 1 storyline was easy

the plot of the story goes like this..

wow look at the graphics! lol
then there was multiplayer.

You've gotta love how sincere he and the rest of Crytek are. I mean it's a business. They put their time and money into this for your entertainment, enjoyment, and ultimately your money. It svcks it happened, but I don't it changed much. Those that downloaded obviously wanted to ruin it for themselves and knew there would be bugs. The real fans will buy it on launch and judging from what I've heard and seen, this leak will do nothing but promote the game. Everyone is amazed with what they've created and a leak wasn't going to stop them from buying the game at all. They've got my support and surely their hard work will pay off.

unfortunately because it took so long for them to respond to why they indirectly increased the number of downloads by announcing it as they did damage was done that could/should have been avoided

Mid January.. hm, I wonder how much they've accomplished in fixing the bugs within 2 months time.. hopefully there are no bugs to ruin my awesome-sauce experience in playing it.

I think Camarillo is overreacting IMO. Yeah, we know about the "first hand experience" and such, but without those videos and people downloading it, they won't have as much pre-order sales as they originally would of got in the beginning. Why? Because the players weren't too sure if they would like it or not because they basically know nothing about the game.

This.. should not be bad for them, they should consider this as good news in sales wise, but not player's experience wise.

Meh, I still don't even know a damn thing about the campaign.. everyone just watched people play the campaign, not watch to the cinematic story

This is the most emotional interview I ever seen *sob*, Long live Crytek!

I've come to realize the reason they released statements about bugs in the leaked game is because Crytek thinks that if they don't people will think that there are bugs that won't be fixed. It's not so much that they're worried about what people will think about the bugs, but they want the word to get out that the bugs will be fixed in the final product. Sometimes that's not obvious especially this close to release when the game looks complete. This is the time when they smooth and iron out all bugs so expect a clean game by release.

I expected that build from last year, not this year. I'm now pondering in my head if what they are saying is true that they've fixed thousands of bugs. 1k of bugs in a month time would be crazy!

I doubt the "bugs" will bother me in campaign. If it still has some bugs here and there, I'll stop playing and just head to multiplayer until it's good to play.. BUT the Crysis 2 PC demo is the only thing in my way from actually buying the game @ launch or not.

If the campaign is buggy here and there, I'll go straight to multiplayer until the patches come, but if the PC MP is buggy, than oh gosh.. the anticipation will be a killer in waiting both SP & MP to be bug free.


PS: Yes I am picky, I do have high standards in games. I have high hopes for Crysis 2, so I hope I don't get let down

Part of the leak is Crytek's fault. If they actually answered our questions and released more than 0% information about the PC version then maybe this never would have happened.

I think it's very possible with 200+ people playing through the game. At this point I doubt there are 1000's of errors anyway. Don't forget if that's a build from January they've probably spent the time up to now buffing out errors. I bet what's left is just minor stuff like texture errors (flickering for example).

That's a poor assumption to attribute the leak to a lack of information...

Sound like damage control before the release to me.

"Oh crap our game is going to svck. Let's leak it and pretend to get all depressed so we have an excuse when it bombs."

You're clearly misinformed cuad, Crytek did not intentionally leak this though it had been done internally by someone. If it was intentional as you seem to be thinking, then it would be the worst marketing stradegy as it would be a shot in both feet for Crytek.

Damn shame it got leaked. I hope people can just wait a while and support a great company when the polished version of the game comes out.
