While I don't agree it doomed the game, I believe this article does accurately point out the major disappointments (read: not "bugs", we all knew the Day 1 game would be buggy, it's how PC games always are) of PC Gamers with Crysis 2. As far as I am concerned these are not complaints so much as they are just plain facts. There's nothing in here that you can just say is an "opinion", all of this really happened, and it is a disappointment.

I still think it is a great game but I am disappointed in Crytek. They have done a great injustice to their reputation of pushing the PC limits.

I actually think is has doomed the game for the PC community... and it is sad

*yawn* Boring article. Just a plain rant, nothing more. Very one-sided, too.

Like official reviewers aren't one-sided either. Right.

Facts generally are one-sided :-)

No, facts are unbiased.

I also miss POM... such a great tech and it's not in there :S I've been looking at some of the mods they mention. They look amazing indeed. Some of those modders should have been hired for Crysis 2!

A good reviewer stresses both positive and negative aspects. Right.

Also true, I meant they're one-sided as in there is no argument to be made. Kinda like laws of physics. What the guy said, and keep in mind this wasn't a review (which he mentioned) was the current issues why the game is a disappointment to PC Gamers. We were told we'd get something, and we didn't. I'm really just speaking about the graphics-side of the game. I think the game looks beautiful, but better than Crysis? No, just flat out "no". To date, there is still not a game that looks as good as Crysis did/does. If Crysis 2 truly does have the framework for DX11, and Crytek is just optimizing it before enabling it in a patch, great! At that point, the game will surely be the next graphical benchmark and beat its predecessor. The graphical tweaks would be a nice addition too.
