I loved Crytek's games up until now. They just were something different. The game is nice compared to other shooters and it still wipes the floor with CoD and it's clones but like Blizzard or Bioware I hold Crytek to a higher standart. First off is the graphics. No Dx11 sure sucks but I can accept that but the moment I had to download an extra application to adjust my graphic settings was the moment it doomed on me: "this thing is not what you expected". The whole thing is dumbed down for the mainstream console market. Instead of thinking of new ways to use the speed/strength modes of the suit we get only armor and stealth now. The AI is an affront and there's no "wow" moment... whenever someone talks about crysis I have the mental image of that huge mountain crumbling, with crysis 2 ? nothing except that I had to load a damed tool to adjust my graphic settings.

Considering it was the second game of crytek and had insane hardware requirements I think that's really decent. Back then I was about 3-4 months away from buying a new rig so I waited until then to buy the game so I could at least play it on ~High settings | ||

Because if it was then digital distribution buyers % will be Much higher as here we have moved almost exclusively to steam because of delay in getting retail copies. Seriously who would spend $5 petrol to go to a shop and buy something for $50-60 when we can buy it for $5-50 on steam and that too a week or two before? Ah, I see, you're from India. Not exactly sure if those statistics are for the USA/West or the world. I'm fairly certain that the vast majority of the sales from games like this comes from the US and Europe, though. | ||

Their sandbox editor were really great too, It was so easy to make a nice looking level with it. My dream is to play some sort MMO RTS/FPS game on that sort of graphics. | ||

I did have a really crappy bug though when after it crashed, all the alien DNA money I would collect wouldn't be counted, so basically all the money I collected in the entire 2nd half of the game I never got to spend, although honestly thats not too big of a deal for me. all the expensive powers just make the game easier/lamer anyway lol | ||

Lower graphics standards is a very simple way to do that. Additionally spending a lot of time and money on making the game perform specially for a minority of people is huge expenditure of QQtek's resources. I don't like it either being someone that could utilize it, but i'm not going to demand something that doesn't make a game-breaking difference for only a small amount of people, aka the difference between DX9 and DX10 or 11. Its actually a majority of people http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/ http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/ 90.03% of steam users have DX10+ capable cards, 75.06% of steam users are running a DX10+ capable OS (Vista or better) On another note, the multiplayer is so fail. You can change client side xml files to get godmode/unlimited ammo/fast rank up. Nothing is checked on server side... | ||

About those 14% PC sales; if it really doesnt include digital distribution, the number is pretty meaningless. the game was #1 top seller on steam for many days and currently its still on #2. Also, the Multiplayer servers are quite packed. Of course i can only guess, but i think EA/Crytek made profit from the PC version | ||

I want my bullets to go where I am shooting, and other peoples bullets were they are shooting... Not some magical anti lag time travel bullshit. Because devs seem to prefer company-owned servers as opposed to user-owned servers. | ||

Secondly, I heard the multiplayer is really buggy and incomplete, is this being addressed? | ||

Secondly, I heard the multiplayer is really buggy and incomplete, is this being addressed? I wouldn't call it buggy and incomplete. Yes, spawns are not always perfect, but it happens pretty rarely that you spawn right in front of someone. Most of the times, you switch to stealth mode right after the respawn anyway to get in a good position. There is only one bug i found so far, which is also related to spawn locations. On the assault map Sanctuary, it is possible that 1 or 2 player start in the enemy spawn location, which can be either good or bad, depending on which team you are. Beside that, I didn't really find any bugs yet. Also, I'm not sure why the MP should be incomplete. Could you got into detail there, what should be missing or was left out/not implemented? | ||

I heard that rank ups and levels don't save when you leave the game and there are lots of crash/lagging issues. | ||

this game released 2 months too early the multiplayer itself though is actually really fucking fun. I can see myself playing this longer than most recent shooters. | ||
