Crysis 2 is a good game. Flaming abuse won't fix the bugs.

After reading through many many posts on this forum I can only feel bad for the guys at CryTek. Crysis 2 is a good game, and despite the bugs I'm still enjoying it, I'm still playing it, and I'm still happy I spent my hard earned money on it.

I think its disgraceful that so many people on here are literally shouting abuse, and demanding instant fixes, if I was a dev over at Crytek I'd probably never want to develop a game for the PC again after having this experience with the 'fanbase'. I understand it's infuriating having bugs that prohibit certain elements of gameplay, or don't allow you to play certain aspects, but no one, and I mean NO ONE will want to help if all you do is come onto a forum like this, type in all capital letters with no punctuation and constant swearing (well, stars, seeing as can't swear) about how Crytek need to fix the game instantly - get over yourselves.

Try asking nicely, the beauty of the PC gaming community is that generally everyone wants’ to help each other, and half the time other forum members may have fixes or workarounds that you could benefit from, but people are a hell of a lot less likely to post anything if all you're doing is flaming.

The bug fixes will come in time, I can't believe how many people seem to accuse CryTek of doing nothing simply because they haven't released a patch yet. These guys are just people, they need to sleep, eat, and go home to their families at the end of the day, and when they are at work, I'm pretty damn certain they'll all working at getting the game fixed - and hell, even if they're not, you think that you shouting at them on their forum will help? There’s so many aspects to a game update, each bug has to be looked in to, the route of the problem found, then that needs to be corrected, then it needs to be checked and rechecked to make sure new bugs haven't cropped up, and they have to do this process for every single bug. And when you've got millions of lines of game code to search through, finding specific errors aren't going to be instant, fixing them aren't going to be instant, and checking them aren't going to be instant.

Just enjoy the game people, and if you're unlucky enough to get a big bug that seriously gets in the way of gameplay, then come onto the forums and do a search, see if anyone else has had the problem. If not, start a thread, make it coherent, use punctuation, and be nice, maybe then someone will actually want to help you.
