I'm getting sick and tired of the PC community biching and moaning about how Crytek and EA "turned their backs" to the fans who made this franchise as enduring and popular as it is.

Boo-****-hoo. Do you have any idea how much **** that is?

Aside from the childishness that some of the posters have made with regard to DX11 not being supported (like that automatically breaks the game for you), there's THIS:

In an interview with PC Play in April 2008, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli stated that he was disappointed to see the game leading the charts in piracy and because of that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives, as he believed a game such as Crysis would sell four to five times more copies if it was released on consoles. Piracy figures released by TorrentFreak indicate that Crysis was indeed one of the most pirated PC games of the year.

Devs have to eat, y'know. They have bills and expenses to pay off, and they don't make very much money. They rely on the royalties of the game's sales in addition to the low salaries they make in order to make due. Many of them are family men as well, have kids to put through school, etc. You might not care, but every penny they don't see is hurting the chances of you getting another game just like you want to see it.

The whole "piracy happens, get over it" excuse doesn't wash. It hurts the videogame industry, plain and simple. And we're not talking about several hundred people here and there; we're talking one of the most pirated PC games of the entire year. That's a really big deal, and is quite possibly hundreds of millions of dollars down the drain.

Are they greedy? Not nearly as greedy as people who stole copies of the game they loved so much but didn't want to support by paying for it. At the very least, they just want to ensure their staff gets paid for the hard work they did.

The game was a PC exclusive. PC piracy from greedy players is the reason cited by the CEO for why he made it a console exclusive. There is a market for FPS games on the consoles, and games can't be pirated as easily, so at least Crytek knows they'll yield a profit. Therefore, YES, I DO have the ability to generalize across PC gamers and say YOU PEOPLE have NO RIGHT to whine and complain about the "consolification" of this game, because it's YOUR FAULT. Learn to reap what you sow next time you decide to steal something that cost millions of dollars to make in the first place. Don't bite the hand that feeds you and expect to be fed something just as good as the first time around.

Because guess what? Crysis was intended to be a trilogy (not including the Crysis: Warzone expansion). You want a Crysis 3 to be the way YOU want it? Then make damn sure this game makes enough money for Crytek to make a third, because the people at Crytek have already said that whether or not a third game happens depends solely on the revenue generated by Crysis 2.


So quit yer bichin' and stop being so goddamn ungrateful that you even got a Crysis 2 in the first place. If it weren't as popular as it was, it's net revenue (or lack thereof) alone would've been enough to get the entire franchise **** before you even had the chance to imagine a sequel even being a plausible reality.

You got your damn sequel, and if you're going to whine, complain and accuse Crytek of turning their backs on you, the devoted fans, I'm sure they'd snap right back at you, remember that millions upon millions of PC gamers turned their backs on Crytek FIRST when they pirated the game, and if they bothered to pay for it, maybe this wouldn't have happened and you would've gotten a bigger and better sequel than you had imagined.

finally someone spoke out something that all these dumbass need to see, i could careless if the game doesnt have dx11 or whatever, admit it, demo was good, their trailers are also good looking. why would you care for such small things when the big things are gameplay, story, content etc. im not so disappointed at the game(unless ea decided to cancel out all those nano edtion then ill go rage). beside crytek never release alot of games, theyre not like bioware or activision. theyve been using all these 4 years on crysis 2, i appreciated that and im getting both regular and nano edition. even putting hans zimmer, bothering to make all those nice trailer on nanosuit, story and so. if you dont like the game and dont like crytek anymore, get off the forum, and dont even bother to torrent the game because youre just an unsupportive asshole who just want free stuffs, that set how lowly you are.

Too long to read.

Crysis 1 is one of the best selling PC games around.
Yes, it was pirated a bunch, but it was bought a whole load too.

Console piracy is WAYYYY worse.
Game's can't be easily pirated on console, what? You rip the disc, you put the disc in your console (Assuming it has custom firmware, which anyone can do)

You are talking to the wrong audience. If you want a piracy soapbox, don't do it to the people who are getting errors because they paid for it and aren't getting to play. The pirates aren't in here listening, they are playing the game the rest of us can't because they have already circumvented the copy protection.

Actually in PC version I actually cared only about Sandbox 3. Since there are rumors that Crytek will release free indie SDK, I can live without editor in Crysis 2 (but I still waiting for it).
By the way, Console morons as bad as PC ones.

- whine -
You're an absolute, ignorant, retard.

You complain about piracy and yet the PS3 and Xbox retail versions of Crysis 2 are already floating around various torrents sites beeing downloaded by dozens of thousands, while the PC version, isn't. And for all your biching about piracy, Crysis and Warhead still sold 5+ million copies wich is a colossal figure for a PC exclusive game with such high requirements and such a low studio, especially given the relatively small budget they had to developt the game and the engine. Money more than enough that while various companies are shutting down and beeing absorbed by others, Crytek went from 1 to 6 studios across the world and are employing more people every day. From all the numbers of downloaded copies, you can bet a vast majority of those people went and bought the game afterwards regardless. Console piracy is far worst than PC piracy, and you can bet Crysis 2 is already beeing raqed to death by all you console kidies.

So **** off with your **** piracy argument. And don't dismiss problems the PC players are having and features we're missing when a console jackass like yourself can't even being to grasp the their very basics.

you're right PC gamers shouldnt complain about having another console game ported to PCs.

Makes sense bro.

You wasted way too much time posting that wall of failtext.

Because PC > console anyday, in terms of graphics capability (dx 11). When a game is created, you expect PC versions to be superior than consoles. But now, developers are getting greedy/lazy and opt for whatever profits more which is console (mainly xbox) thereby reducing the quality in the game for the PC version.

People who labor and spend big bucks on their rig so they can play the game in all its glory get **** over by these lazy devs, hence the whining.

PC gamers need to get over themselves and understand that gaming isn't just on the PC anymore! The more PC gamers whine that elitist image starts to get stripped away.

So stop whining and make a decision: buy the game, play it and have fun owning n00bs or don't buy it!

your choice!

Has to be my favorite part right here. haha

"if you're going to whine, complain and accuse Crytek of turning their backs on you, the devoted fans, I'm sure they'd snap right back at you, remember that millions upon millions of PC gamers turned their backs on Crytek FIRST when they pirated the game,"

Didn't read, read the title though but here's my answer.

Console whiners that whine about PC whiners are morons. K? Oh and reported your post for insulting our gaming preference.

Stopped reading at "In an interview with PC Play in April 2008, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli stated that he was disappointed to see the game leading the charts in piracy"

The only reason Crysis had enormous amounts of downloads was because the game was and still is a benchmark for any PC gamer out there. Every time someone would get a new computer or upgrade some component, CRYSIS would be first on the list of tested games.

there's too much double standards in many PC gamers.

We have every right to complain when we're getting console-grade games on our PC, especially when Crysis was such an amazing game and it was PC exclusive. You'd complain too if you had your PS3 and you had your games developed at a Wii level.

Nobody cares if xbox and ps3 have games too. And crysis 2 looks great on consoles, well done crytek i am impressed. Just stop being a retard saying we should not complain when our systems are a generation ahead of consoles but dont get any next gen games. Its **** pathetic.

Its ok though, BF3 will get the console players to STFU. Nice to see the limitations finally show when a developer makes a PC game first, then dumbs it down to consoles. Not the other way around. Cant wait to hear the console gamers complain (even more so then they are already about the player limit lulz) when the game doesnt look half as good on their **** compared to what it looks like on PC.

you guys who dont like pc whiners just dont know how to build a pc or you have a very small graphics card. Crysis is a pc legacy go stick your dike in your console with your 5 year outdated graphics engines

be my guest! you can go first!

Seriously, I'm so thankfull to DICE for once not letting themselves beeing held back because of consoles and giving us PC gamers a trully next-gen game while consoles get whatever scraps their 5 year old outdated hardware can handle. It's hilarious watching on the forums console players already crying because PC is getting much bigger maps, player count, better graphics and lots other features that consoles simply cannot handle, and those players are completely oblivious to that.

I'll quote you on that the next time your favorite exclusive comes out multiplat and on the Wii, with all the graphics, level sizes and physics being Wii-level for all the platforms to "bring the experience to everyone".

Steam has had Crysis as a top seller since it hit the pre-order "shelf."

As said before, NOBODY that pirates the game is even in this forum, they are not FANS.

FANS buy games.

tldnr

I love how you assume all pc gamers are pirates.

you sir, are a moron.

You know what frigging retards (talking to the OP and whoever else is holding his root while they play whichever console they have) If we have no PC Elitists as you call them then innovation for your precious "Computer in a Can" will stop and 20 years from now your children will still be playing at 1080p. There has to be something driving innovation and I don't see the majority of Nvidia or ATI's portfolio made up of GPU's specifically designed for consoles. Same goes for Intel and IBM for their respective Processors that go into the consoles, both those companies design and build primarily for the PC, so without us there would be no Xenon or Cell to process the physics or whatnot that the GPU does not process. What goes into a console is a design that was proven as a gpu/card whatever for PC and then made to fit for consoles. If you are envious that PC's are capable of higher resolutions/image settings then build one or take the one you have and add a discrete gpu and a better power supply. There is no special "Click" or "Club" here, and its a hell of alot cheaper now to buy a PC that will play Crysis than it was in 2007...Also I don't believe you are going to respond to this post on a console..so unless you are using a laptop you already have 3/4 of the platform already. Starting an ignorant and misinformed thread about something you have no idea about makes you sound, well, Ignorant.

Signed...PC ELITIST (not really but your vague imagination only allows you to see this so I'll play along)
