Put it this way, if a start up company had made this game every one would have been like "this is pretty good, I bet this company will go places in the future (barring the epic fail launch I guess)" But crytek made the game and thats why everyone is so disappointed. Its still a fun game and a good game (but like I said launch was a fail) its just no where near crytek or what people "thought" crytek standards should have been. This would be a really good game at a $40 price.
It's funny because once upon a time Crytek was one of those "Start up companies"
