Crysis 2

[phoenix31tt]

yea but capt... u have no brand loyalty when u shopping right...

whatever gives you what you want @ the right price is that what you goin for... so look @ it from that perspective... the game devs going with what givin them what they want @ the right price... cant fault them... we must fault ourselves

[TriniXaeno]

In utopia, game developers would create games just for the warm fuzzy feeling.

In the real world, they do it to put bread on the table. To feed their families (that requires actual game sales).

When you beat a game check the credits.....there are a lot of bread winners scrolling down your screen. Not just the CEO.

no sales = no developers = no games

Which is why I'm a big advocate of supporting the industry by buying good games.

Vote with your dollars, not with your torrents (those don't count)

[phoenix31tt]

indeed.. we cant have a hissy fit when game developers decide to do what is logical... and in some cases necessary for them to survive

[Spazosaurus]

Plz dont ban me for having my hissy fits. Where else am I going to vent? My coworkers who dont care abt gaming are already getting fed up of my rants.

So who buying Crysis 2...U know SUPPORTING this developer?

*W1nTry holds out a olive branch to Capn*

I have yet to actually play the demo, I dl it last night but haven't tried it yet (same for bulletstorm). The initial feedback is bad so I hope my experience is bareable later... that being said the ONLY hope to stop piracy is FULL FLEDGED digital distribution OR having a certificate locking mechanism controlled through A VERY EFFICIENT and DEDICATED NOC to update certificates for changes and customer issues... the cost of either... well developers are going console aren't they...
I myself never played out Crysis of Warhead (didn't have hardware capable of playing it the way I wanted to then) and if they can fix the bugs on the console i'll consider it. What can I say guys, keep your fingers crossed on the Steam front...

[Arcmanov]

Cap mih boy...as one of the original, staunchest supporters/purchasers of BOTH Crysis,
AND Crysis: Warhead, I fully agree with your sentiments.


I'll still be buying the PC version, but very reluctantly.  Yes, I love Crysis that much.

However, I will $#!t on each and every cent that I will spend for this game and mail it to Mr. Yerli
myself, just to indicate my disdain towards his attitude to the PC platform. 

Unfortunately, pirating the game will not solve anything, and it might just make Crytek
stop PC development entirely, and I want my Crysis 3 on PC, thank you very much.

[Spazosaurus]

lmao @ $hit on every cent

Steam undoubtedly have the formula. Consoles just need to follow suit and I think we will be on the road to recovery. Allyuh ever think if ALL games were released on steam? I wonder how hard it is to copy a steam game and run it on another pc. I cant imagine it is very easy. Then again, if that is the ONLY way, then a load of people will then focus on hacking steam, which wont be a good thing.

I'll even go so far to say the death of the used game market is acceptable collateral damage if it means piracy is reduced.

There's probably no way to stop piracy of single player games on any platform, however, multiplayer on all platforms is robust and quite resistant to piracy.

I can only hope that devs focus more on the multiplay aspect (which is where its really at) so that people will HAVE to buy the game to experience it...even on the pc.

[W1nTry]

Boy capn, the threat it not just piracy... just now everyone will be sweating multiplayer games on their... wait for it... MOBILES... the greatest threat to PC gaming is the mobile market XD.. study dat.

[TriniXaeno]

Hard lol @ $hit on every cent

Steups @ cell phone gaming supplanting PCs. Outside with that eh W1ntry.

Would be a shame if single player games went the way of the dodo. Some of my best gaming experiences were Single Player. (Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age spring to mind)

apparently the demo is underwhelming.....hmmm......probably should save some money if its a sci-fi cod i gettin

[W1nTry]

More likely Halo Reach 2

[Arcmanov]

MP is the same from the closed beta, but interestingly enough, it looked better,
and ran MUCH smoother.  Not sure why this open beta looks/runs like such mess.

True, the MP may not seem like much to write home about, but Crysis was never regaled
for stunning MP.  That's what Bad Company 2 is for. 

[ViCe]

@ W1n well seeing as there is killstreaks in place and perks as well i would put it more cod than reach altho it can be considered that as well

meh @ arc bc2 statement. 4 person parties is auto fail in my books wont tout that as a great mp experience for me.

was looking forward to crysis but that cud salt they till it get nice an cheap...kz3 in feb and s4 in april good enough right now

[Spazosaurus]

^^ I think me meant the PC version, the superior version

We could have 16 man parties if we wanted to.

I'm not sure how it works on the console though, but even if you are limited to 4 men per squad, cant it work like this?

4 men per squad but you have 8 men wanna play. Just split into 2 squads and still have the two squads work and able to chat and coordinate together?

If you can, it works. Trust me, IT WORKS.

[Arcmanov]

PREACH brother. 

[TriniXaeno]

a sci fi cod actually sounds good to me yes.

but from the reviews this sounds like halo and cod had a baby that turned out to be a beautiful dumb blonde. lol

Still as arc says, single player maybe where the action is.

[W1nTry]

Ok so I played 2 matches, tbh I wasn' too disappointed but then everyone painting it as a deaf, mute mule with a heart condition prolly made my expectation fall through the floor. I actually think they COULD have a winner. I notice there are nice visual effects in some places (glass, water) and others like Capn said look like COD. The PC version (once its not a direct port) should fix that and it COULD look gorgeous all round. Also I think the dynamics of the suit gives it a different feel to both COD and Halo, it stands on its own imho.
It did feel a LITTLE laggy, but then if you're a PC FPS addict it would feel REALLY laggy as its slower, even than COD, which is fine imho as it's gameplay is different. Also I did notice a little bullet lag/graphical lag in movement, but I believe this can be tightened up. All in all if they tighten the gameplay and tweak the motion I think it will fix the bugs that would prevent this from being a A title on any platform.
