Convinced a friend to buy PC vs 360 Version - MISTAKE

Post » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:11 am

Well, I had a friend who is getting sick of botched PC releases.. I convinced him to buy it on PC instead of 360. What a big mistake.

* Over the top bloom and HDR
* MP servers don't even work half the time
* Gimped graphics options

Seriously Crytek, and you do nothing. Amazing.

Fix for first complaint: go on "Very High" graphics settings. Consoles have the bloom and HDR also.
I dont have a fix for the second complaint but I havent personally had this issue.
Fix for third complaint: Consoles have 1 graphics setting, and its equivalent to the lowest one on the PC. So...how would the 360 version be superior?

Ummm.. the MP actually works on the 360?

Also, no matter what settings you use on PC (1 out of 3), there is still too much lens flare and bloom.

You expect them to work the game out for every pc and monitor config out there? really man get a effing grip. Id pic my pc graphics anyday over a ps3 or 360. If you have a pc and your getting better graphics on a 360 or ps3 then the issue is your pc not the game.

Like i said, i havent had any trouble with the MP on the PC.
My friend has it on the xbox and I can say for a fact that the bloom and lens flare are the same, only the Extreme setting uses it more than the other 2, so I just play on Very high.

I love how people act like they are just going to leave it broken. Eventually all the bugs will be fixed.

Don't get too high expectations. Games on console rarely get fixed as much as PC games.
