As I posted in another topic:

Quit your biching! You're getting the demo on PC on the same date! What does it matter if the 360 gets another go at it with a new map? Seriously they obviously want to show those that tried the beta that they're making changes for the final product. Maybe even get a little feedback too. Come on I can't believe you guys are whining. Grow up.

Tbh the amount of people who couldn't play the demo on xbox cause it was too **** up was massive so it gives them a chance

Wow...quit your biching! You're getting the demo on PC on the same date! What does it matter if the 360 gets another go at it with a new map? Seriously they obviously want to show those that tried the beta that they're making changes for the final product. Maybe even get a little feedback too. Come on I can't believe you guys are whining. Grow up.

Let me guess, another Xbox 360 owner? Growing up does not involve voluntarily getting screwed over by companies that you have supported. Why should I support a company that treats its fanbase like **** while giving special attention to a single platform that has never received any of its games before? This is especially damning when they kept going on and on about how CryEngine 3 made multiplatform development easy. After all the downgrades, the media focus on the Xbox 360 is just another slap in the face, but it's enough for me to be pissed off. Tell me why I should spend $60 on a downgraded game when Duke Nukem Forever is around the corner for $50? The funny part is Crysis 2 is developed on a somewhat modified CryEngine 2 and they're charging $60, whereas Duke Nukem Forever took fourteen years to develop on a completely rewritten engine and they're charging $50.

If you think I should just bend over for the companies, then YOU should GROW UP.

It doesn't make sense to throw a hissy fit over absolutely nothing. You're getting a demo. Sure it's coming later than expected, but does it really matter? You're getting a demo and ultimately you decide whether to purchase the game or not. Companies don't have a gun to your head. If you don't like it, move on.

Were you really expecting a $50 game? You're paying for the game not the engine it runs on. From what I've seen the game is incredible in all aspects. Setting the benchmark for all platforms, including PC. It's well worth the $60. Anyway, what is $10 to you? Save your lunch money kid lol...

Once again, it's not just the demo. It's the complete focus on the Xbox 360 over the PC. When evaluating the worth of a game, you need to factor in development effort and cost. The original Crysis is superior to Crysis 2 in almost every way and yet that went for $50. Crysis Warhead is also superior to Crysis 2 in almost every way and that went for $30. Why should I spend $60 on an inferior game? It's not a question of money, it's a question of value. Clearly you don't care because you're spending your mommy's money. For me, I have better places where I could be spending my hard-earned money.

Exactly!

12 hour campaign + 12 multiplayer maps. Thats value.

Need more money? You could start offering your 'services' for money instead of crack.

12 hour campaign? Try 16-18 hour campaign AVERAGE:

That 12 hour figure for Crysis 2 is probably maximum time. Also, the multiplayer in Duke Nukem Forever will not be a rip-off of Call of Duty. The PC version is $50. Now THAT is value.

Where would you spend that $10? A medium pizza? An old western movie? A dime bag? Lol give me a break. How would you know how good C2 is anyway? You haven't even played it for yourself! I don't see a complete focus on 360 over PC. What you've seen is what you're going to get, and more (considering better graphics and dx11)! I'm going to make this really simple for you. If you personally don't like where the franchise is going, MOVE ON! Build a bridge and get over it before you drown in your own tears.

Good. The last one svcked ass. Hopefully this one will work.

Yeah... But Duke Nukem's gonna svck.

You can tell me im wrong now, but when you've had the game for more than a week you'll know im right. You'll just never admit it.

And i like the way you ignored my first post because it logically (mostly) explains why 360 gets more support and kills your argument.

This is the first time the 360 got a demo, not the 2nd, the so called "first" time was a BETA, not a DEMO. get it straight.

YES, I didn't get to play the first demo in 360. I'm glad I'll have a chance to see what this game is like.

I could spend that $10 at many different places. Any choice is better than wasting it on lining the pockets of EA. I could get a superior game AND a medium pizza.

I ignored your first post because you ignored the whole point of my topic. The fact is that Xbox 360 is getting all the attention. What's to say the PC demo will be perfect? The Xbox 360 has had a beta and a demo to fix issues. The PC is only now getting a demo. What happens when there are many problems with it? Hell, what about Playstation 3 owners? By the way, Duke Nukem Forever is a much, MUCH better game than Crysis 2 could ever dream to be. You'll realize this as I'm having fun with the awesome interactivity, massive singleplayer, and unique multiplayer, while you stop playing with your shorter barebones singleplayer and your CoD rip-off multiplayer.

This is the first time the 360 got a demo, not the 2nd, the so called "first" time was a BETA, not a DEMO. get it straight.

Oh? Then what do you call the BETA that was exclusive to the Xbox 360? The Xbox 360 had two betas? Now why do you think it's fair that the Xbox 360 gets two betas and all other platforms get none? The demo will most likely have problems on the PC and PS3 and there will only be less than a month to fix it, if they ever do. We all know how Crytek abandoned Crysis and Crysis Wars multiplayer after promising support.

xbox 360 needs 2 demos because of variations in hardware configurations........wait something is not right.

Anyways Crytek UK are no better than 3arch in creating a pc game. I predict lots of lag on pc

Yeah that could happen but I hope it doesnt. :/

@hark

^Alright then. Goodbye.

Judging its an EA game some things can happen:

8 hrs SP
day one dlc for consoles.
after 1 month EA crytek fail to release patches and stop supporting pc sku and blame it on piracy (nfs hp and dead space 2 anyone).
console fov, and fps capped at 30


But still cant wait to try the game

Life's not fair hark or whatever, grow the hell up.

Seriously, you whine like some jerk stole your candy. Get over yourself.

But still cant wait to try the gameI believe this game already has day one dlc? Practically every new release has day one dlc. Unfortunately the new fad in the gaming industry is to chop pieces out of the game and charge it as bonus content for a good laugh.

Just because I'm voicing my concerns over the title, does not mean I'm a baby. If anything, you're acting like a baby by blindly defending Crytek/EA for their actions. Perhaps when you grow up and use your own money to purchase the game you'll understand.

1. Correct me if this sounds wrong, but I'm guessing that they used the telemetry from both of the Xbox 360 betas (one of which was pretty exclusive) to make assumptions as to what they generally need to fix on the PS3 and more importantly, the PC version. I'm saying this because the PC community is a picky one (or it has higher standards depending on your level of disillusionment) and Crytek probably wants to release a more recent and polished demo for them to make a good impression.

2. The reason that there's so much Xbox 360 footage is probably to keep in good standing with the community despite being a tester for their more unrefined demos, and to assure them that what they recently played (which was fun, it just had some problems) isn't what they should expect.

3. You guys (PC and PS3 community) are busy flipping **** while Crytek is probably trying their hardest to build up suspense for your demos and positively surprise you.

*(1,2, and 3 are all different points, feel free to agree/disagree with any one or more of them)

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-25-new-crysis-2-demo-announced-for-360

It has been pretty obvious that the Xbox 360 is the lead platform in this supposed "multi-platform" game, but now the Xbox 360 users get another demo which will launch on the same day as the PC demo. That's real nice. As if the exclusive beta and demo weren't enough, the Xbox 360 gets another demo at the same time as the PC. PC fans had to fight tooth and nail to get a demo. After silence, then an announcement (with no date), then finally a date, the PC gets it. However, the Xbox 360 gets an announcement shortly after with date immediately shown as well. The Playstation 3 users get an announcement of a demo but no date in sight.

Thank you Crytek and EA for taking a massive dump on your fanbase.

Absurd ! The native platform of Crysis 2 has and will always be PC. PC fans didnt need to fight for a demo, the demo was going to come regardless. The reason WHY Xbox is getting another take at the demo is because the first release had major issues.

The reason why there is so much emphasis on Xbox it is for market reasons $$$$$$$, as it is not needed with PC as the PC followers of Crysis are the majority out of all platforms.

Im sorry, but did you read the first post i made? it was perfectly in context, i just used the demo as an example because thats what you were biching about.

And since im on this topic, im just going to say that fans, EVERYWHERE have this strange possessiveness over the franchises they support. You assume that because you've been playing the game before everybode else your opinion is more valid than the people making the game itself, who probably have a far more intimate knowledge of thiere game, how to market it and how to make the most money. You are all retarded if you truly think that pc is where all the money is. This is how you prioritise if you want to make MONEY. It goes xbox, ps3 THEN pc. Simple economics. ( i know i sounded kinda crazy there, but thats been bugging me for a while)

Oh and what the last guy said too.

awesome interactivity???? I have to know now.

All i know, is console players tell PC players to always stop complaining about everything (ie: PC players are complaining about max players, game modes, mod tools, etc. but the console players are like OMG ITS STILL AMAZING STOP COMPLAINING U DONT NEED MODTOOLS/MOAR PLAYERS 6V6 IS STRATEGIC

But then when a superior version of a game is on PC, and the crappier version is on consoles (see: Bf3) you have the same console douches posting on forums about how OMG WHY DOESNT XBOX HAVE 64 MAN SERVERS LIKE PC, PLEASE RAISE PLAYER COUNT GUYZ OUR CONSOLE CAN HANDLE IT.

Irony. These kids just dont understand.

I just want to point this out, sense people still don't believe me that the last "demo" was a beta, and not a "demo".
There was 2 360 betas, the first one was a CLOSED beta meaning a few people can test it, and a PUBLIC beta, is meant to test the server loads and also check for bugs that the closed beta testers missed. Also if it was a demo, it was still be up, and it wouldn't of been so buggy. The demo like all demos released before the game's release will stay up for as long as people still download it. Plus, when the BETA "AKA your so called demo" was up, there was a board called "Crysis 2 MP Beta for the Xbox 360", not word for word, but it did state that it was for the beta, not the demo.

heard you the first time. not valid argument.

as far as im concerned, i dont care if xbox gets another demo given how **** their "beta" was. they cant let players think thats how its gonna be in the final version so it only makes sense to let them play it again before release without the wifi problems and freezing etc.
