The graphics could be vastly improved if it was possible to actually set them up, instead of guessing and hoping you picked the right settings. High, Very High, Extreme. Ignoring the implicit arrogance of the labels, they're confusing, and PC gamers expect real settings. On the plus side, they fixed the issue where you couldn't unlock Limited Edition content finally. | ||

We know how to adjust them by manipulating the shortcut, so it shouldn't be that hard to give us a simple graphics option menu. But they don't want to because either: they use the console version and don't want to change the option screen, or: they think too many options scares "noob" players. And both of those reasons suck. | ||

The graphics are ok, but frankly, since I don't know what is and isn't on, or what any eye candy is set to, I can only judge by looking at it, and it seems like there should be something prettier available. Yeah, it's a good looking game, but it doesn't look maxed to me, and since I have no idea, I'm just assuming it isn't really maxed. Maybe once there's an SLI profile and a new driver, I'll try forcing some stuff in nvidia, if only to know what settings I'm really running at. Edit: Maybe I'll just review the little chunks I played so far. SP Gameplay: AI is spastic, from moronic to decent. Plot feels like you have a fishing hook pulling you around by the left testicle. Better pacing than Crysis 1, but ammo is a little bit stupid. You start with a weapon that dumps a magazine in about 1.3 seconds, and you can only carry 4 spares for it. I kept having to resort to my pistol. Definately faster paced than the original, which is good, but still leans a little in the direction of forcing too much stealth mode. SP graphics/physics: Slightly better than MP, for those who played the demo. Not massively, AA feels a little weak, and certain textures could stand with being higher resolution, but poly count seems decent at least, character textures are solid. Motion blur and lighting are still capable of causing major headaches if the demo had that effect. MP feels like the lead on this one, and while I felt the original Crysis was held up by the tech demo graphics nature of it, they probably could have stuck a little closer on the overall feel of gameplay and had something more natural. | ||

That shit was unplayable without those tweaks (hit registration was shite and motion blur nauseating) EDIT: Ahh, you can still fix the hit registration and FOV, Motion Blur not though, but it's good enough for me. Still rediculous though.... | ||

Not saying don't buy, but maybe get a gameplay vid first, or play a friends copy. | ||

Because I buy it for the MP, I've got 2 CoDs on my steam account with 0 hours in SP adn 100+ in MP  | ||

If nothing else, lower settings should include lower motion blur, since that's a graphics eater. | ||

I hate it when people complain about things that aren't true. But it is ridiculous we need a workaround  | ||

Really, given all the exploding of the launch being barely better planned than the demo launch, you may be a more satisfied customer to have had to wait. I think if I'd gotten a Steam copy, I might be less angry with Crytek overall, and the game to a lesser extent, just because by the time my DL would have finished, I wouldn't have had to wait the extra several hours to actually get my LE content, since 5 or 6 threats of litigation scared them into making that fix in a hurry. Nothing takes the fun out of a game like having to wait 3 hours for the stuff the box says is included to finally exist. Imagine the people who went to midnight releases... | ||

haven't played sp yet mp has reset my rank once so far, costing me a few levels when I logged out and came back later mp skill assessments (perks) did not register on ranked or unranked servers AT ALL except for 1 time, which may have been a fluke otherwise its fun, but I'm going back on tmorrow when hopefully some of this shit is fixed | ||

Anything they do will be an improvement IMO It was not awful. It was genious. Just because you failed at Crysis 1 doesn't mean it was shit. Last time I checked Crysis servers are still full whereas COD 4 (the worst game in history) is empty. Crysis 2 is an abomination for xbox kiddies with jam covered fingers. | ||
