Why no hype for this awesome game?

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 5:11 am

I'm glad there isn't more hype. I don't want a game I like this popular. If I say I like MW2, everybody else does too, it isn't special. If I say I like the crysis series, nobody else has played it. And I like it that way, I don't like it when I like the same **** as everybody else. Just my personal opinion though.

But we need people to play online with! 8(

Ignore him, he wears all black and complains about his $100 a week allowance being too low.

I mean, just look. He doesn't want to play the games everyone likes, so he can feel special? He likes having no friends except his cookie cutter emo clones that are all busy being "different".

Oh, and please, for your witty comeback to this, lets just avoid basemant dwelling fatass? Try to be original or something. You DID make yourself rather obvious, and I'm sure you actually like the attention.

1st of all thats not what he say at all
it kinda cool to be in an exclusive "club" and play with people who know whats the best of the best

BUT i think this is not a good idea because the developers deserve the money they get from large scale sales

and on a personal note , people dressed in black ARE way cooler then the average rest, thats the reason the rest looks all the same because they want to fit in, they want to be average, and not the other way around... people who look different dont try anything they simply are

wanna be average then be, but making fun of someone who is better then you is just funny ;)

A game nobody owns isn't an exclusive club, it's a waste of money and a doomed developer. You want an exclusive club, try golf.

And since dressing in all black only sets you apart from everyone else who isn't doing the exact same thing for the exact same reason, you're just a different TYPE of average, cookie-cutter clone. The ones wearing other colors are just honest with themselves about it.

And you ARE trying to fit in, just with a different group of people, the majority of whom are just trying to get attention, and acting like they hate it. The guy I'm mocking did in fact present himself that way, by wanting to feel different and special in a market sector where that just means you're playing stuff with no staying power, which is generally the BAD games.

Probably there marketing department has budget issues.

At best they may have taken money from marketing into actual development for the game or at worst they just thought it probably wouldn't sell that well and just skipped on marketing entirely.

I'ts a terrible thing to not have faith in something you dedicated your time into making.

I feel like Crysis 2 developers don't want to jump full on into consoles and that's why there's a lack of advertising. The fact is that most people use consoles now, and marketing a sequel to people who weren't given the chance to play the original crysis(warhead and wars), aren't going to be jumping out of their seats to go order the game. As for marketing to PC users, look at all of us, we know about the game and they barely have any adds out.

Too bad though, there's a huge untapped market that EA could access. I showed 3 friends the EA game trailer and they're all pretty well dead set on buying the game.

You guys are worried because some websites doesn't have anything huge @ Crysis 2? Who cares, most important is that huge gaming magazines talk about this game 24/7, and by magazines i mean real made from paper :D Not some **** wannabe websites which post same stuff which they read in those REAL gaming magazines.

Anyway... PCGamer is kinda up2date with Crysis 2, well almost ;) IGN have some stuff posted as well.

Xbox360 - 15th place

PS3 - 41st place

PC - 98th place (This is why crysis 2 was consolized.) T_T

It justs breaks me to know that this is true.

i think what you talking about is something coincidentally you saw and actually thats the exception
i'm watching this TREND now for a while and i cant stop wonder

no one said ALL, you hate to take this in general, dont single out one or a few online/offlene magazines or tv shows/stations... there are exceptions , but in general hey ALL talk about homefront, but just a few crysis... and thats weird... at least to me

If you want to hype it then join with similar minded, visit new york on a regular basis, and walk there around in NanoSuits. It will get known quickly, haha.

Jingle, what is it with you and wearing black?

Did you READ what I was mocking? At least in America, anyone acting like that, I can assure you wears all black designer clothes so they can be different from people wearing multi-colored designer clothes, and talk about how different they are, and complain about their parents not loving them enough to buy them all of the all-black designer clothes they want.

thats totally not true, i lived over 10 years in the US and i know 1000's of people who where black, and they clothing often cost a multitude then the ugly multicolor stuff the average person wears

as well i know many whos parents buys them they clothing they want, because thats what they want to wear

your stereotypical opinion is based on a few TV shows and not reality

we wear black because we are better and not because we want to be ;) "want" is something you have to accomplish, there is nothing to accomplish its done, the few (usually teens) who just try "black" always ending up reverting back to normal fast - they have to because they just dont fit in with the best :)

what you confused is punks, they are rebelling against they family how they are treated what not, they are the ones hating the world, the people "wearing black" just portending to hate the world - not to impress others but for reasons like if you have low expectations you will always be positively surprised, its a way to make YOUR SELF feel better, but in the inside your happy, with is the opposite then normal they pretend to be happy but are miserable in the inside.. and so on.. everything has a balance thats the reason (black/white, depression/happiness) , but you probably refer to believe the dull/dumb stereotypical version :)

anyway offtopic

The original mock was aimed at a guy who didn't want C2 to be popular because he wants to be special and talk about a game nobody else has heard of, he doesn't like when he plays "popular" games. Rather fits the mindset that I ended up ranting about when someone else tried to explain that you're actually a unique and beautiful cookie cutter clone if your designer clothes are all black.
