A NON Raging thread, for those who like Crytek and Crysis 2.

Post » Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:22 pm

I disagree if I was a developer of a product I was supposed to be proud of, and I logged into the forums to see 4000 threads of angry people, that would leave an impact.

The only way to ever change anything is to get a vast majority or large group of people on the same page, other wise it's redundant to even try.

If I paid 60 dollars for Crysis2 I would be very upset. In these tough times when players get the little extra they can save or muster up, they want the money to go to a product they are happy to have. In it's current condition crysis2 is a waste of money,

The developers should know that, and so should players who lurk here wanting to buy the PC version of the game.

I've been watching now for the past 5 years or so, the current trend in the pc gaming market. How it's diluted itself from an art form to a mere business practice. And I think we as pc gaming enthusiasts should be doing everything in our power to change that, even if it's shouting on a forum.

I agree with your statement on the PC market, as all things these days seem to follow the money, I suppose for valid reasons.

But I disagree with shouting on forums bit, yes everyone who is disappointed with game can and maybe should make there voices heard. But not with 4000 threads. 10 or so threads, each one with a vaild point or bug, with lots of posters in those threads would be more effective and civil.

Theres a difference between MATURELY shouting and IMMATURELY shouting (like 99% of the 4000 Anti-Crytek threads are)

Yes its good to voice your opinion, but there is overkill and assuming that CryTek hasnt seen the communities concerns would be ignorant.

PC gaming has been dying for a long time now, but communities like this one will only make things worse

I disagree about the single player. Aside from suit controls it plays like every other generic first person shooter on the market.

The enemy AI is pretty laughable. And if they are not literally walking into my gun fire, they are seeing me and shooting me almost through walls in some situations.

The graphical settings are not scalable. The lack of advanced settings options is laughable. To literally perform below the standard of options in a game is something I have never seen until this game.

Not to mention the thing I was most excited about, was the destruction you could inflict on the environment. I was driving that APC tank thing in single player and do you know what I could not drive through? A street pole.

There is no excuse for that.

Keeping things civil won't fix problems. My government bailed out banks and major motor companies despite millions of people doing civil protests. This is just a fact of social interaction we have to accept, unless we're pushed to make the change, change won't happen.

There might be a difference to you, but chances are Crytek doesn't give two Sh*ts either way. As long as they keep making sales that's all that matters. And if the matter becomes a nightmare they have a moderation team willing to clean up as much of the mess as possible.

Come on man, you cant be comparing CryTek to what happened with GM, Citi and other companies. Thats only on a scale thats 1000000 times bigger than this and not only that, but CryTek hasnt ruined anyones life.

So youre assuming CryTek doesnt care about the community because they want to maintain an steady income? Who wouldnt? They work and have families too. I dont see how people such as yourself could blow something so out of proportion in order to fit your own logic.

Crytek has been steadily trying to update the game since it came out, apparently the nay-sayers dont care about that because their tunnel vision doesnt allow them to

I was using that as an example but the same basic ideology is there. Crytek didn't ruin lives, it left wallets lighters and people regretting the purchase. I don't want to blame Crytek, I really want to blame EA. Because EA is notorious for putting it's development cycles on tight schedules to maximize minute for dollar production.

Their specific mentality has always been "release now, patch later" which shows a gross disrespect for the PC gaming community as a whole to begin with. At the point of Crysis 2 they are using people who paid 60 dollars for this product as beta testers trying to fix bugs that should never of been to begin with.

Not to mention they lied to gaming community claiming it was a PC game first, and a Console game second as seen here in this article. (This is one of many examples where they deceived.)

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108709-Crysis-2-Is-a-PC-Game-First-Console-Game-Second-Claims-Crytek

I remember downloading the demo only to read it ask me to press start. I should of called tech support asking for help on finding the start key on my keyboard.

The lackluster and generic game play toppled with a buggy release cascaded by a horrific patching process isn't worth the money.

If im an average consumer wanting to research a game, I'm gonna take more impact to "4000" pissed off people then 10 civil threads politely asking for them to properly do what they promised.

Nothing here from the DVD version. Perhaps it's a fix for the patch 1.2 'slower loading for steam users' thing?

I don't think the issue is them working on the game, I think the issue is that they are fixing things that are so common and easy to find, they never should of been put into the initial release.

Look Mr. Negative Nancy. I can view the world as a dark and abysmal place too.

I only have 3/4th of my life to live. My parents only love me 90% of the time and not 100%. Maybe on the way to the gym, ill get into an accident and die. Or maybe at the gym ill drop a weight on my foot and break it. Or maybe on the way home ill trip down the stairs and die. Or maybe ill choke on my food at dinner time...

Jesus, and you wonder why we dont like all the people making stupid threads complaining...

Thank you for proving a point.

You, like the other people who are rampantly whining have reduced yourself to an absurd level of thinking and insulting behavior to defend your prospective on the product as the other folks on the other side of the coin do.

Please stop judging them for it.

Thanks!

Actually, we agree with the people who complain about the problem, but we do not agree in the manner in which they do so.

It amazes me how people can try and spin ones words in order to fit their own argument. Always taking things out of context. Either way, stop crying. And if you want to cry, do it in another thread.

Wither OP is cryfail employee, 14 year old troll from console forums, or just a morons who actually slurps down this turd of a game like a milkshake from the heavens, I hope he get lobotomized with a chainsaw sometime soon along with all like-minded brethren of his posting up here.

Good day.

Cryfail employee? Really Potzz? The only person that has any relation to being lobotomized is you, just because somebody actually likes a game that you don't doesn't mean they are an employee. Also, don't call someone a 14-year-old troll when you can barely even spell "whether". Improve your grammar and rationality and then post on this forum.

I was wondering, what is peoples take on the silencer?

I mean Crysis 2's silencer is the only silencer to my knowledge that doesn't reduce range or damage etc.

Yeah you're right, hence why I made this thread, I ignored the other threads, and made this one, so we could just chat here. If you want to discuss about us, then be my guess and make a "Those **** snide fanboys" thread or something like that, and talk about it over there. This thread is just meant to be talking about why you like the game.


I feel no need to create such a thread, nor did I give any such impression that I wanted to. I simply find it interesting that, according to you, this thread was created with the idea of simply chatting, but you yourself start it of with some of those same snide comments seemingly designed to irritate those of us who are disappointed.

And yes in my first post, and some people have posted also, remarks regarding people like you who feel screwed over, but we haven't gone to your threads and done that, so please don't come to this thread and start having a go at us.


Without pointing the finger of accusation at you, indeed those who claim to "Like Crytek and Crysis 2" have posted the most vile things I've seen in this forum. Also, for the record, if I wanted to have a go at you and your new buds I would, and there's nothing you could do about it. This is a public forum, remember? Having said that, I'm more than willing to "chat" about the better points of of C2. But understand, hypocrisy irritates me. If for instance, DX11 doesn't matter to you, show a bit of respect to those people it does matter to. I think you'll find yourself better received under those circumstances.

And if you read my first post, and some people here have said, we can understand why your angry, we just don't want all that to fill up this thread.


I don't recall saying that I'm angry. You're assuming. If you truly want this thread to be cordial, which I believe you do, minimize supercilious comments. I think this is a fair request if peaceful coexistence is important.
