Crysis 2

[MessiaaH]

I agrree with d MP comment totaly. I find it hard to spend money behind SP only games these days. Is all about COOP for me. if it doh have COOP or some kinda MP component, i find it hard to shell out for it. But u was coming across like pc men wasting they time, cuase u can get it on xbox. U was promoting crysis xbox, not crysis in general.

So naturally us pc men had to show, crysis on d xbox graphics wise not ready for pc
But like wyatt said, if u buy it to swet wiht ur MP peeps on xbox, dies cool.

D men i does swet with, waiting for price to drop before we start freaking it, i not interested in weather 10 billion ppl play it on xbox. Once them fellers on mumble ready to swet it, dies all d swet i need. Said that many times before lol.

And no yuh not going to drive yuh veron to work, lol, but high end PCs is not juss for gaming eh. Most ppl running rigs like that, using it for much more. Superlific Graphics is juss ah bonus . And if u minus d GPU from my rig, ill be running d exact same rig, for d purposes of I.T., entertainment, etc.

And what i find mind boggling is, a CONSOLE PORT!, is, and i quote "serveral orders of magnitude better looking" thand console game it ported from? that alone shows d superiority of the pc platform when it comes to graphics

But if 12 year old xbox live boys is your thing, by all means (sorry i had to chooke ah lil something, lollololol, coudlnt resist doh take it too hard lolol)

In the consoles defense it's basically a 5 year old computer (which IT IS) so if yuh hating on the console yuh hadda start hating on dem men who doh update they rig. And daz NO scene if the PC is better, your rig is ... less than a year old.

I prefer to pwn annoying americans (12 year olds included), you like to beat up old ppl, I mean PCs :p

We talking 360 here, not the expensive blu-ray player btw XD

[Berzerk]

expensive...blu ray player?

oh no he didn't.

[TriniXaeno]

lol, but W1ntry I am extremely impressed at your ability to take a jibe in good jest.

There is one fly in your ointment. Crysis is not known for its multiplayer. It is known for its single player campaign and graphics.

So logic would dictate that you buy the game for the platform where you can get the best single player campaign experience and graphics.

That is without a doubt....the PC.

Lets face it, if the multiplayer fizzles on the console scene after a few months as it did for Battlefield Bad Company 2, you'll be left with an inferior product on your hands for the same $60.00.

If this was a call of duty game....your argument would be impenetrable....but this is Crysis.

omission of advanced graphics settings options and "press start to begin" snafu aside, the following statement remains true:

PC > Console

wyatt ye old system

oh and hard long watery steups @ phoenix

[MessiaaH]

wyatt ye old system

oh and hard long watery steups @ phoenix

rofl lmao @ hard long watery stueps lololol.

And good points about crysis is not for mp etc.

Also w1ntry, my pc is 1 year..ermm 3 months old eh , longest lasting pc i ever own, and if amd din lash dat 6990 so soon, it woulda make 2 years.

And in the "expensive bluray player's" defense.

Ill shell out money on a ps3 ANY DAY over ah xbox.
D only exclusive on ah xbox i interested in is gears of war 3.

PS3: Uncharted, God of WAR!, Mortal Kombat wiht KRATOS!, Killzone, Resistance, Ratcher and clank, Infamous, Metal Gear Solid, Last Guardian, Little Big Planet.

ah forget anything?

PC > Console
PS3 > Xbox, sorry.

[Doomtack]

gaming > sub par movies in the cinema...

talk done.

[TriniXaeno]

...

oh and one more thing eh w1n, before I forget....at last check on STEAM, there are seven PC gamers with the game thus far vs your quoted three on Xbox 360 eh.

2 to 1 in PC favor at the moment.

[tdog]

cdkeyhouse.com also has legit cdkeys for anyone interested. Got my crysis 2 from them for $34 but it is EADM. But since my battlefield is already with them i go no problem using them

[TriniXaeno]

Looks like Crysis 3 will be coming!

Hoorah!

http://www.destructoid.com/crysis-2-huge-success-xbox-360-dominates-sales-197396.phtml

to put this in perspective....lets jump in the time machine and rewind to the year 2007 where this was the headline:

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/14/crysis-sales-in-crisis-ut3-gets-fragged-too/

Crysis sales figures in a state of crisis. lol

I love the note at the end of the article which reads: "We're ready for that Crysis console announcement whenever you are, EA."

Talk about clairvoyant

[Spazosaurus]

This is why I dont read destructiod articles. Most of those 'writers' are nothing but trolls, but instead of being under a bridge with all the other trolls, they are standing on top of a hill where everyone can see and hear them (unfortunately). Didnt even bother to take into consideration digital distribution sales (which constitutes eadm and other sales). Even if with those figures included pc version still lags behind, at least you would have painted an ACCURATE picture. Instead, being the trolls that they are, continue to simply flap their gums. Getouttahere.

@ Crysis 1, I reiterate. If they dont even bother to optimise the damn code so that more than TWO percent of the pc population can play it, WTH do they expect? Everyone to go out and spend $1k on their pc to play one mediocre game?

That said, I dont support the piracy, but I do support boycotting pc games that have had little to no extra effort applied to them.

[Czar]

Troll or not, d man right:

The 360 accounts for 57% of Crysis 2's sales, with the PS3 taking 29% and the PC raking in a miserable 14%. Maybe they were too busy torrenting it or something.
 
This news is notable for the fact that Crysis was always a major PC title and being able to run it was the hallmark of a powerful gaming computer. PC fans have been upset at the console inclusion, blaming it for "dumbing down" the game and not looking pretty enough without manual tweaking.
 
I wouldn't expect EA to care much now, though, since the PC is apparently not where the money is. Can't fault people for wanting their games to actually sell, y'know?

All he do is take d sales figures from the Videogamer article and slap on his take on it.

[TriniXaeno]

awesome you read the same article??

I'm a little confused by your post.

Isn't it good news that Crysis 2 sales figures are very strong? (irregardless of platform)

Which means we will get Crysis 3!

What exactly are you taking issue with here?

Oh and on a side note...once the FPS genre has gone from PC native games to the stage of "console native games that require extra work for the PC port", then the cow is already out of the barn. Boycotting at this stage only concretes the position.

Thankfully, Crysis 2 is the #2 best seller on steam at the moment. Trailing just behind Valve's own Portal 2.

Crysis 3 iwmc!!!

[Spazosaurus]

I'm annoyed by the tone of the article. They are taking disc sales alone and saying well llook how poor pc version is selling...without giving the whole picture.

Had the article even mentioned something along the lines of 'not including digital sales', and generally lost its obnoxious tone, i'd be fine.

Of course this is my opinion but that author is an @ss.

And on another note, if they are planning on putting in the same weak effort into Crysis 3 on the pc, i'd rather they dont bring it, just so I wont have to hear anyone complain how weak sales figures are for a half hearted console port.

Then again, its probably so easy to do a copy and paste from console to pc that it wont cost much in development and even with the poor sales, big wigs like Cevat could take pc profits to buy a new boat or upgrade his house.

[MessiaaH]

PC Dics sales these days account for ah small portion of actual sales.

Digital Download is d name of d game, is why steam so powerful, and contiuning to get bigger.
Digital Sales on steam counldnt be better. And if u add up d sale figures from, Steam, EADM, Direct 2 Drive. im sure d numbers will be far more impressive.

[W1nTry]

Actually the count was up to 6 since last night with 8 by today :p

And I won't get back into the PS3 vs. 360 argument, there some... individuals that will take offense easily and start to flail like a duck by a river surrounded by Trini indians (no offense intended XD).
XBL > PSN talk done on that argument :p I play for multi, you could keep ur 'platform specific' releases as good as they are, when i'm not gaming online I MAY game on the PC, I don't see where a PS3 fits in there.

Last, I played the demo of Crysis 2 multi on XBL and it was a solid experience, so even tho crytek isn't known for their multi, I was pleased with this encarnation and thus bought it for the MP. In 6 months we WILL move on regardless of if it were a COD title so I don't know how a COD argument would be infalable. In 6 months GOW 3 will drop and EVERYTHING ELSE WILL KISS MY Trini @$$ XD

[TriniXaeno]

lol, w1n, you know a CoD title has more longevity that pretty much every other FPS on the planet...save HALO.

Awesome, to be honest, I ain't even take on the tone of the article. Gotten so immune to it at this stage. PC lost the "sales figures" argument since 2007 (as clearly demonstrated in the second article I posted)

That is truly flagging a dead horse. It doesn't help that steam doesn't publish their figures and NPD doesn't account for it either. Strange, since it would be much easier to report digital sales than brick and mortar.

The good news is that NPD has agreed to publish those numbers on a monthly basis as of March 2011.

See here: http://www.next-gen.biz/news/ea-welcomes-npd-digital-shift

By the end of 2011, we should see a true picture of how the PC platform is coping against the console incursion.

and lastly, in defense of Crysis...the game doesn't play or look like a console port at all. They nuked some advanced options in the menu but honestly, can't say that I miss them at this stage. Clocking 59 fps on Very High (takes dip during intense firefights though).

Plus they removed the "press start" which was left to annoy PC gamers no doubt, lol. So really, I can't complain now.

[woodyear99]

Yeah for real the game looks amazing. I like how they were able to get into the advanced menu settings to make it look better. Anyone tried this?
