I'm still wading through the single player campaign but I'd rate it a buy as well (PC version)

The graphics and gameplay definitely live up to the hype. It's not as phenomenal as Half Life but feels very similar in execution and plot mechanics. Some deja vu moments in there for valve veterans.

Should be hitting multiplayer by next weekend. Will sound off on that experience then.

You can use the account you used in the demo days for the full game. I assumed you didn't already have an account.

As for Awesome, you're gonna have to ignore my play time, I won't be playing much of anything until July.

Crysis 2 is truly the best looking Console game to date. There I said it. I even asked Agokillya to compare with Killzone 3 as he has been playing alot of that recently, and he said that Crysis 2 looks better than Killzone 3...I am enjoying this game, single player and multiplayer. I've been telling people that its the lovechild of COD, Halo and Battlefield..If you've played any or all of those games, you will know what I'm talking about. I can now play this game for many months to come until Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3. Good job Crytek!

Best looking console game?? I thought the debate was just best looking FPS console game.

The closest technical comparision I could find is below

I find it hard to beleive that a game that is sub HD can look better than Uncharted 2 (best looking console game imo), Gears of War 2 or God of War 3.

My cousin may buy it, will pass by him and check it on his 360

It IS the best on 360 (Agokilla who has both PS3 and Xbox said overall, but like all things its a personal opinion, milleage will vary). It IS better looking that Gears of War 2 (which prior to this was the best looking xbox game, and that was hella good looking). I think what ppl will debate is things like pixellation or grainy appearance in Crysis 2 but there is a reason. What Crytek effectively did was balance (in a truly beautiful way) lighting effects, fluid effects, HDR, bloom and ALL the effects you can think of into this game. Obviously to achieve this you may have to dial other features (FSAA) down a bit to not fry your system or drop below 30FPS. Crysis 2 TRULY tithers on the BRINK of the Xbox 360 hardware. The game literally makes teh 360 SCREAM! I have seen in VERY few instances less than 30FSP so I KNOW it's operating at the very limit. You will have to see it youself to really appreciate it, AND you need to see the VARIOUS layouts and levels rather than just watch a 15 mins and say bleh. It goes from rooftops, to subways, to street levels to nothing short of ALIEN environments. Pay attention to sniping whilst in cloak... EPIC WIN on the visuals!

YES YES YES! I think the gunships and walkers are a DIRECT copy (with visual updates) to those in HL2, ALSO THE SOUND!!! those damn things and their firing SOUND EXACTLY like the gunship in HL2! imitation is the sincerest form of flattery idmc!

I'll be monitoring this game on steam to see how many of my contacts purchase AND how long playtime is. This is the data I will use to make a decision whether to buy or not.

As it is now out of 70ppl on my steam contact list, only 3 own it with just 7 hours of playtime total among them.

I gotta say, fellas, things dont look so promising.

I say, don't buy it yet, because of the multi-GPU issues (ESPECIALLY that).

Steam sale ftw?

When Crytek DEFINITIVELY fixes this, and then properly implements DX11, with an advanced
graphics menu...THEN it -might- be worth 60 US.

Right now, it worth about 30 US, but you can't buy it for that.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #287 on:** March 28, 2011, 03:12:51 PM »

^^ Agreed!

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #288 on:** March 28, 2011, 03:13:29 PM »

Lol, yeah boy w1n.

Sincerest form of flattery indeed.

I like your point about sniping. Those who've played fps games with me in the past will know I go assault 99 percent of the time.

Zero patience for sniping. My battlefield sniper class is played like assault with the vss.

So its a huge break from the norm that I spend most of my time in crysis 2 sniping. Lol

The reason, the game is so gorgeous that I don't want to just run past all the scenery and miss the graphics.

Take my time...zoom in, observe and then.....pohhhhhhhh! (In redfish tone of voice)

Arcmanov · « **Reply #291 on:** March 28, 2011, 07:55:24 PM »

OK, so I found a tweak on the Steam forums that finally makes multi-GPU setups behave correctly...for SP and MP.

So you trying to tell me Crytek couldn't spend a day or two extra and do this? Steupssss

MessiaaH · « **Reply #292 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:05:14 PM »

For a company that pride demself in having d best looking game around, dat is pure unadulterated wattlessness

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #293 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:07:53 PM »

like yuh miss the 10 page memo arcman....let me summarize.

THEY DO NOT CARE! (that is all)

Messiaah, why you want all your games on Steam and hating on EADM?

technical reasons? or just the ease of having all games in one place?

MessiaaH · « **Reply #294 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:18:44 PM »

Having all games in one place, i know my steam is always runing, so i know my games always up to date. And i have steam instal up on all my machines at any time jus click go.

Buying games on steam is easier

Steam achievement, (d magicka achievements in coop was awesome, playing coop whiles trying to outdo yuh partner to get d various achievements, added somethign extra to d gameplay i doh usually get. also doh cater bout achievements in general, but in coop it add ah level of competitiveness dat add to d experience.)

Steam client is more stable and less buggy dan EADM.

I can export my steam games as an installer. So if i want to instal d same game on 5 machines, on 5 differnet ppl steam account, everybody could jus double click 1 file, from 1 shared location, and d game on everybody steam. Without each person having to re-download d game individually.

Copying games from 1 person steam folder to d next acomplishes d same thing, but steam go jus have to verify d files in dat case.

Then there is d cosmetic side of things, steam is my official game launcher now, even for non-steam games. And certain EADM games cant be added to steam, unless it launching from EADM it does give problems. (fifa is one, i even forget i have fifa, becuase it in EADM).

All of the above and anything else i forget, is why i want all my games on steam.

Valve pwon d competition, and juss gettin better, i smell a monopoly afoot!

Berzerk · « **Reply #295 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:34:43 PM »

i agree with messiah there oui. I bought games on Direct to Drive and Ea store and never even bother with them. Really prefer to have all my games on steam.

Might have the odd exception, for games bought in box, etc, but steam really is the easy access to everything yes. Almost brings a console experience to pc gaming lol.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #296 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:38:57 PM »

d man say console like yes, wayyyeee, lolol. but is true doh.
Doh have to study bout where to install games, etc. Once u instal steam to ah drive with plenty space, talk done. and getin new games is ah breeze, jus click buy, accept, play.

O, and steam have d ability to buy games for other ppl and send dem d game directly to steam. Another niche feature lacking from d others.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #297 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:52:56 PM »

lol @ console like

Ease of use iwmc.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #298 on:** March 28, 2011, 09:30:12 PM »

OK, so it turns out that I need to have that Radeon Pro crossfire tweak running simultaneously.

Ah well...a little more won't hurt...
