My damn kingdom for a damn quicksave...
Also prone...
And a decent size game map. And an actual map. And tactical choices. Basically, all the things I liked about Crysis.
I've had it 3 hours, and already I'm sick to death of walking from checkpoints into battles, and that gunship battle at the lab...
I have to wonder if the entire passable area in Crysis 2 would fit inside the tank level of Crysis...

That was a sarcastic replay to Crytek's claim that Crysis 2 is a PC game primarily.L8NEYET said:

Ok carry on with the rage guys...
Judging from what everyone has said, it ain't true. But I couldn't care less. The USP of the first game was it's looks. That ain't a USP, that's just an excuse to push a subpar story through the system. Judging from the demo of the second as well, it's just a balent rip off of COD with Halo reach armor abilities thrown in. Bloody awful even before this made for console bullshit.
So drop this crap and get homefront. Sure it's a massive let down, but at least it's trying harder in terms of story, even if it is red dawn with more patortic swill being thrust at you then any WW2 movie.

Hey Nathan, can you explain then why you are charging $60 for the PC version?? Cause I'm pretty sure that's total bullshit console price.
Oh man that irritates me so much. How f'ing hard is it to change ONE WORD on an intro screen for a PC version?Ace IV said:

Also, the actions (demo) spoke louder than words (press release) here. It's basically MW3 with dedicated servers.
I mean, the demo was enjoyable enough, it just isn't going to rate a "buy" at sixty bucks from me.

Yes, and that is why the first contest they had was for the 360 version only? And why the demo was out on 360 first?
I still doubt I'll buy this game now, maybe if it is like $10 on Steam. The whole throwing away the original story thing is still bothering me.

Alright, if you developed for the PC first, then why the fuck is everything so console-centric?
Linear levels, very little graphics options, gimped suit, boring and played out setting, call of duty multiplayer...
The engine may be PC focused, but the design screams console game.

Fuck off with the PR bullshit, Crytek. And Escapist, how can you possibly post an article like this without the slightest bit of truth??!? PC first my ASS! Crytek did NOT make it for PC first. It's been stated so many times that they had to scale down the level designs and overall scope of things because consoles can't handle it. And then they didn't even include DX10, let alone DX11, in the PC version. Fuck that, you can't tell me it's a "PC first" game.
Now, I do appreciate what they've done, the game still looks pretty decent, especially on consoles it's probably one of the nicest looking games. But it's still a step backwards from Crysis and Crysis: Warhead.
This is why gamers should never preorder "AAA" titles. Be discriminate with your money and maybe we won't get so many god damn dissapointing cloned games.

Ultimately, the 360 was most definitely the lead format, and they made just didn't bother with the PC version. The first part of that sentence isn't the problem: the second part is. (Just Cause 2 is a console port, and yet its PC version kicks Crysis 2's PC version all over the shop).

ROFL.
OT: What a load of shit. They say it's a PC title first, yet they don't even give us the options to change video settings in the game's menus. It may be a good game, but I'm going to wait until it goes down in price before I purchase this one. There are far better titles on the horizon for PC gamers. *Cough* The Witcher 2 *Cough*
Bullshit.
Amusing fact: i live in a country nearby Germany, and can get to Crytek building, throw a Fuck-You-Brick through their window and get back to where i live, all in one day. Oh yes.
