Just putting it out there. Could EA and Crytek be held legally accountable for potential false advertising, security flaws and selling a defective product?

Think of the lawsuits going on elsewhere. Apple for example when they release the iPhone2 with problematic antennae coverage or Vodafone Class action regarding calls dropping out, reception issues, poor data performance. Just a couple of examples of services and purchases that the customer was expecting to be stable, reliable without defects. People will not tolerate a product that does not perform the way it is meant to after paying money for it.

I am not intending to be malicious here but the gaming industry should be held accountable for releasing software that has not gone through the correct quality assurance and did not provide the functionality as promised upon official release.

That would be very good but it's not going to happen.

Yes its totally possible, you ask any lawyer out thier yes its possible. But the problem is its a pain in the ass to procede "usually"

Oh please get a life, why don't you just enjoy whats a great game or sell it to someone else.

They should get sued. Considering the fact that they were advertising destructible environments as well as having Nvidia market their Dx11 cards with "crysis 2".

I feel bad for anyone that actually bought a Dx11 card for use with crysis 2.

That's just shameful. Crytek should tuck its tail between its legs and disband their company after this into other EA sections.

The cry-engine 3 is also inferior to frostbite 2.0 engine. They completely wasted their time with this game.

MAXIMUM FAIL

Piss off troll.

Pity you can't sell it as you have used they key and likely opened the copy?

I actually completely agree, these threads with all the biching a whining about lack of this and that is really starting to bore the balls off me.

What you need to understand is that EA is just a publisher, who also make the advertisemant according to developers (in this case Crytek), therefore its really crytek thats at fault for many flaws that are not still fixed including its completely messed up online multiplayer gameplay that keeps kicking players out within 3 to 10 minutes while playing.
Again, many of its flaws arent fixed, despite taking money from millions of gamers, it doesnt seem to care to fix them, instead it keeps making it worse by ignoring gamers complaints.
Since specially the multiplayer side of the gameplay isnt fixed, you will have to send a letter via a solicitor to crytek, giving them an exact time to sort out the issue, if the issue is not fixed, then by all means sue them by full force.

And I guess that's also a good point to add. Some gaming fans who have experienced the awesome Crytek games previously would have spent money on a new PC and/or Video cards to experience this long awaited second episode of Crysis. The gaming benchmarks that Crytek have made in the past would want some fans to invest in additional hardware to immerse themselves into the gaming experience as much as possible.

It's not just the expense of the game that is at stake here. This isn't Crytek or EA's fault directly that someone purchased additional hardware for the game, but they need to factor that into consideration when there fans read advertised features that are not there on release date and experience bugs that make the game unplayable.

If you took this to a lawyer they'd take the case...because they know they can't win but still get your money...

They didn't falsely advertise anything, and every game release has issues on launch. Grow up and wait.

The difference between a PHONE dropping CALLS and a game having isolated connectivity issues is huge, you can still play single player. If you only got it for MP then tough break, 'stuff' happens, let them deal with it.

OMG people take a law class. The only people who would have the ability to sue right now is nvidia. There was NO false advertising done in this game. You can not sue a company simply because someone in the company said that the game would contain something. It pretty much goes as such: if its not on the box you cant touch them. meaning if there is something on the box that is not on the game then you can sue. there is no tort here. being pissed at the company and want your money back is not a viable tort action. crytek/EA would laugh you out. not to mention they have Steam backing them soooo yea.

And you did not offer enough info on the iphone case. Unless that iphone user had a dropped call and that call caused damage to him then he can not sue. you can not sue a company because you do not like the product.

I feel bad for anyone that actually bought a Dx11 card for use with crysis 2.
Me too. Buying an expensive GPU for a $40 game instead of buying it to be future proof means they have skewed priorities

It's possible......in america....... :p


Apologize Crytek,for releasing such an unfinished product.

Some bambulance chaser would take a civil case, but as you said, it wouldn't go anywhere and lawyer would be very happy.

I accept the criticism. This is a form after all to discuss matters.

Currently the bugs and security flaws are impacting on the quality and enjoyment of the game in single player and multi player modes. It is not functioning as it is meant to and therefore is a defective product. Serial numbers have been registered and therefore refunds are hard to get and onselling is not an option.

Would you buy cable television that would provide you with all of the television stations that you wanted but were constantly interrupted with static? Would you pay for an internet service that gave you internet access MOST of the time? Would you buy a phone that stored your friends and family contact details, but then deleted them when you switched it off? Would you buy a car only to discover the ignition key doesn't start the engine. Would you buy a security system for your house only to discover the front door is wide open. The list goes on and yes they are extreme examples.

I know Crytek are working on patches for the bugs, security flaws and there has been a lot of work put into Crysis 2 due to the multi platforms. I hope this next patch resolves the majority of issues and I hope that it is a lesson learnt for the future. You can't do this to paying customers without repercussions.

when you agree to the terms of use, you agree to accept the game as is. You have no rights.

Translation: They can F**k u sideways with no lube then take your money and laugh.

And they wonder why people pirate games before buying them...wish I had...then I wouldn't have wasted my money. This is the only time EA and Crytek, you will not screw me over again.

No and here are the reasons

1. the retail box specifies DX9 so if you bought it without reading then too bad (buyer beware)
2. unless every single person who bought the game are all having the same issues and they are not fixed within a reasonable amount of time then you also cant sue for that either.

People need to calm down the game hasnt even been out a full week yet everywhere you need to give them to find replicate and fix such issues and biching in the forums threatening **** legal threats isnt helping.

Keep this in mind not all people are having the same problems as you there are THOUSANDS of diffrent hardware configurations out there and some errors and issues cannot be forseen.

Crytek have to have the error submitted then replicate it (which isnt so Easy because of the THOUSANDS of diffrent hardware configurations mentioned earlier) this can take days even upto a week.

Then they have to fix it which takes a day or two then testing and q&a of the patch another day or two the distribute to server providers and you the consumers.

So it can take 8-14 days for the game to get updated and patched and its barely been 7 im sure there will be a patch by the end of this week so just calm down and have a coke and a smile and shut the **** up.

But... Cervat Yerli lied a few things in the interviews for the pc based fans didn't he? Don't you think that shows something? NOTHING against Crytek but i expect a company not to lie to their customers just to get their money's worth.

I agree 100% about the whining, seriously it has to end here and now. We will get a patch, dx11 will happen later down the road. Just take it as a grain of salt and please move on. Just play the game or play some new released games such as Need for Speed Shift 2 to cheer yourself up or whatever. It really needs to end. Honestly if you're so angry you cannot have high textures in the game. Just fire up Crysis 1 and play it then? You got plenty of mods to get around to kill time til a patch comes out. Sounds like most of you need a break and play Crysis 1 to make yourself feel better? Only way to be happy don'tcha think?

Fail thread.
