More like 80% of PC gamers will pirate the game and 20% rage on forums saying they want money back.

Oh wait. isn't that how it is now?

We wouldn't be playing it now as it wouldn't have been released till it was finished. Also, we definitely would not see a crysis 3 due to crytek not making enough profit. I'm glad it came out on 3 platforms.

Go back to your 360, most people prefer quality. If breaks a company to make a finished product then they are doing it wrong and deserve to go out of buisness.

Why would you hate steam?

Still mad from 2005 when it was buggy and annoying?

It's awesome now.

obviously its my opinion, but i stick by it.

I'll have to agree with Zergrush, I don't hate steam, but I don't like it either. Though I guess I'm just a crusty old fart, because I just can't get into Digital downloads. I like my boxes and when I want to re-install, a Local DVD copy always beats a re-download. On the flip side, It is handy to be able to re-download a game and not be worried about if the DVD is scratched up. I was not really happy that Fear 2 was tied into steam, Probably won't be getting Fear 3 if its also tied in. I understand why they need to do it, but if I buy a DVD, then I shouldn't need Steam to play it. I'm sure someday I'll have to change my ways as DD will be the only way to get games, until then I'll cling to my boxes

Yeah it has it's draw back but has some good stuff too...as an example not too long ago I got a message from a friend of mine to some links online for some funny vids on Youtube. At the time I was playing Batman AA. So I decide to pause the game, shift-tab then click on his links provided in a chat window and poof, the steam web browser pops up (no minimization of the game that can screw things up as we all know) view the vids laugh and joke with my friend for a few minutes. Then I am back to playing the game. I thought it was pretty neat. That and the amount of Indy devs they support gives me the abilty to play great games as Killing Floor and Magicka. I can understand your guys view but its not all bad , and you don't have to redownload you can back them up

if Crysis was PC exclusive I'd imagine....

- Crysis 2 to be groundbreaking in terms of game settings. eg. one can play on the lowest settings on any computer, basically what Crysis 2 is right now, and yet be able to choose from an advanced settings option for extreme pc gaming like supreme physics, face melting destruction, a learning AI, post processing options, better environment interaction, high res jaw dropping graphical settings and the likes (just to add pc systems nowadays are more capable and cheaper then in 2007 so the game should sell better than crysis 1)
- all suits modes to be still available. strength, speed, stealth, cloak and armour
- Bigger maps, with real destructibility
- Drivable vehicles (all types, jets, ships, heli, you name it)
- more open-world style gameplay instead of COD linearity
- and the option to really choose how you want to play the game, you dont need to point out flanking options or resupply points or go here then go there (to make up for lack of true tactical options)
- support for user generated content
- an original multiplayer as good as crysis wars
- not dumb down the game just to make accomodations for the consoles (instead console gets a consolised version of the pc game, not the other way around)
- good anti cheat system which bans cheaters from mp PERMANENTLY

edit: also choice to play on gamepads, joysticks, driving wheels, keyboard, mouse, touchscreens, whatever you fancy. including wii, kinect and ps move!

And would like to add QUICK SAVE!!

That is all

It's simple:
Crysis 2 would be a step forward, not five steps backward and half step forward.

They wouldn't make any money....


****..... Crysis 2 was developed on the back of all the $$$$$$$ that we PC users paid for Crysis 1 and Crysis warhead.

/clap +1 to you sir!

Hey Borss, go back to your 360. Your obviously much happier with that kind of graphical gaming and interface. Infact you could sell your PC for more 360 content! There ya go buddy!!

Nomatter how big or small the issue, people will ALWAYS complain. They will ALWAYS find the SMALLEST thing to complain about. "Aw in Crysis 1 I would have seen an extra splinter whilst shooting the big tree"... IMMERSION!

May I ask what's the point in generalizing small people as the "norm" and bundling their small issues with more real issues? Did you realize *some* people like biching just for the sake of it, just now? Ever heard of a woman?

I wish we had nothing better to complain about, than those "extra splinters". I really do.

It'd probably be better and crytek would've probably ending up making the same anyway (they'd get twice the PC sales, and digital sales make twice as much profit as retail at a bare minimum).
Well, we won't know for sure until EA\Crytek drops us some sales numbers. But if the numbers over at VGchartz is semi accurate, you're looking at 540,00 XBOX360 sales, 350,00 PS3 sales and 134,000 PC sales. There is some debate on how much Digital Download really makes up, but even if we double that 134,000 to 268,00. It's still way behind the consoles. But again, we won't know until they give us real numbers.

If it was PC Exclusive, odds are pretty good we'd had a NYC version of Crysis 1. Which would have been pretty interesting to see how they worked it out. And we would have a game that probably melted alot of PCs

1) VGChartz is NEVER to be trusted. Back in the early days of this console war they always favored Nintendo so much it was rediculous. They have their favorites and it will show.... whichever it happens to be now.

2) I wouldn't be shocked to see PC digital sales be 2-3X retail... why? Have you walked into a Gamestop and looked at the PC section vs any console? PC gamers have looked for and found better pastures because the old ones, when they found they couldn't resell used copies like they could console games, dried up.

3) You DO realize even if you took that at face value AND only doubled PC, it's catching up to the PS3 sales, right? Which means PC even UNDERESTIMATED is a contender, just like the other 2.

and 4) To the guy who claimed an 80/20 split of pirates/whiners.... wouldn't even buy it if you only counted those vocal on here. Sorry, but that is a myth. Pirates fan out to the platforms they like best just as much as everyone else these days... case in point, we have now had SEVERAL multiplatform titles (Fallout 3 to name one off the top of my head) where the first pirate version was 360.

And before you tell me pirating on PC is easier, so is getting viruses from it... so I would say the risks + natural selection / difficulty = pirates who know their tech pretty much being the majority of pirates on all platforms now.


Sounds like you know an awe full lot about pirating. Anyway I think most piraters will buy the game if they like it or they wouldn't be buying the game anyway cause they can't afford it so i don't 'think' that pirating is bringing down sales that much anyway.

It would be as open as Crysis 1, have better AI, more enemies, better physics (everything would be interactive), more environmental destruction, more foliage, higher res textures, more usable vehicles, more post-processing, DX11 and 64 bit support, better interface, more keybindings since there's no gamepads to limit them and no stupid "context sensitive" bindings, weather/time cycles, higher draw distance, higher polygon models, more light-sources, less scripted events, less "tactical options available" spam to handhold the console kids.

It would basically be 10x the game that it is now.

True ;(
