I'll be laughing if they do manage to release a DirectX11 patch, word from Crytek hasn't exactly been very trustworthy lately.

Sooo... we're suppose to believe you? Have you run the game yet on your PC and what is your PC specs?

Already posted them on page 2.

I still don't believe many of them work even though a lot of people are using them. Actually, some of the tweaks were available in the multiplayer demo, but for some reason Crytek decided to remove them.

How about playing the PC version before trying to defend Crytek?

What I'm trying to prove is that PC gaming is dead and/or dying. Yet game developers are trying their damn hardest to make games for the PC and well, make money off of it. So denying the words of an executive producer is fine, but that guy is there to make money off a game that he made. People steal that game very easily on PC to try and "see if it runs well" before they buy it. If it runs well before they buy it, what incentive is there to buy it at all then? I'm not saying that you personally are to blame, but it's ten times easier to steal a PC game than it is to mod a PS3/Xbox 360 and then burn the DVDs/Blu-rays or run the games off an external drive. Making a console game is easier because it's all one or two sets of hardware you have to develop for. PC's is a little harder with the combination of Intel, AMD, ATI, and Nvidia hardware that would be able to run the game. Denying the words of someone who made the game just makes you look like a hater, just for the simple fact of being a hater. The game looks and runs best on PCs, yet you still think that it's a console port. Denial is denial.

I agree that PC is probably much harder to develop for since you have to take a various of hardware into account. Maybe PC owners should even go as far as be happy that we at least got a PC version of Crysis 2. I agree that Crysis 2 works on PC, but you can't deny that consoles (existing) in one way or another managed to screw over the PC version. But as I said earlier, I have trust issues with Crytek because they have been saying all kinds of stuff that the consoles wouldn't unfluence the PC version.

Hell, I'm even thinking about getting a console since it seems so easy to play games that way, you just plug and play, with PC you spent hours updating drivers, troubleshooting and a lot of other stuff. Plus, you don't need to settle for 800x600 res and low graphics settings... Yeah, get a better computer? Don't have the money for a gaming laptop, and I don't think I'll like having to upgrade my desktop.

Anyway, managed to beat the game last night, was much longer than I thought, at the end I didn't really care about taking out all the enemies, and just wanted to beat the game. Steam says I beat it in 12 hours. It might be longer though, I don't feel it only took 12 hours. Storyline isn't very good. Apparently, Crytek hired a guy who criticised Crysis' storyline, but I don't it got any better. It wasn't bad, but sure wasn't anything memorable. It's an action game after all, so it's mainly there to support the setting. Story became a larger factor in the later game time.

Also, a shame I watched so many of gameplay videos from Crysis 2, at moments when I should be "holyfuckingshit"ing, I just went "oh, so this happens now?"

Havoc10K:
A lot of studios lately lost a lot of trust, they are like politics, when they say black, you should expect yellow, or green, at worst white, but never black.

Tatsujin:
I liked the first game better. I'm losing interest already in this. Storyline is complete shit. Thou' the graphics are so much better. The world seems to be more -closed- than open like how it was in Crysis 1. Sigh. Even Crysis Warhead was amazing. And taking out Prophet in the beginning made me say 'FUCK YOU CRYTEK!".

Havoc10K:
oh so they decided to fuck the entire story, fill it up with candy GFX, and hope for high sales ?
why are all games looking only good, but are actually a piece of trash to be thrown out the window ?
I re-played first game and warhead 3 times, ever since that I haven't bothered re-playing any games (aside from FSN :))
A friend of mine borrowed it to me, he bought it and finished it already, says the game is Crisis indeed, it's a crisis for game's development, the motion blur is just standing in your way, slowing you down, soundtrack is a piece of crap, person behind it must have been paid poorly, video sequences are separate from the game, in overall, the game is shit, and the cryengine3 doesn't even get to be taken 1/4th advantage of it's possibilities, weird how it's own developers don't use it's full potential. The hype is the only good thing about this game.

I wouldn't say the soundtrack is shit, it's not amazing either. But certainly good enough to do what it's supposed to do.

As for motion blur, yes, fucking annoying as hell.

You can use this program to customize settings. And it actually works although there's issues since it's not that well built yet.

And there's rumours that we're getting a patch with DX11 and advanced graphic settings tomorrow.
