Crysis sucks, so I won't be purchasing it for either platform. I guess it's for the better that it's on both though.

Counter Strike is PC gaming's 'tard sink'. It has an almost mystical quality when it comes to attracting so many PC tards.Sapient Pearwood said:I challenge you to play Counter Strike for 2 hours on the pc and not be convinced an equal percentage of console and pc players are "tards".
How is this going to take down PC gamers a peg or two? The graphics, sound, and freedom provided by PC is still going to remain superior forever. That's the price paid by console gamers if they want cheap, limited systems that are "easy" to use.
This actually makes em rpetty happy. considering I dont have a very good PC for gaming, and I love the crysis games. I know some peopel think its gimicy, but not everyone has a super amazing computer that can run crysis...Considering in order to run crysis you need a NASA super computer.
Forgot to address these bits:
Did I chuck a tantie when Firaxis released Civilization: Revolutions? Hell no. They were smart enough to keep it outside of the main franchise, so to speak... A cut down, real time version of Civ wouldn't have flown with the fans if it was passed off as the next installment of the franchise proper but this way everyone won... although I might have liked a PC version just to piss about with.
Come to think of it... I can't see why Civ IV was never ported to consoles. Sure, playing might take a bit of patience with the analogue sticks BUT IT'S TURN BASED so it's not like there's some huge time crush on. It's about time consolers learned that there is a God and God is a sorta funny looking man named Sid Meier. (Consolers who learned this playing Pirates! are excused from this sermon)
I also blame the idea that was popular at the time that "the experience needed to be the same on all platforms". I dunno who started that idea but they certainly needed their head fuckstarted... and turned out to be pretty much impossible as each platform turned out to have it's own little foibles.
As I mentioned earlier there are plenty of PC exclusives, especially at the strategy end of things... but even then, if the devs of some of my fave strategy franchises (both TB and RT) released console versions, as long as the PC controls weren't gimped and the games maintained their usual challenge and complexity, I couldn't give a fuck. Hell, if The Creative Assembly wanted to release a multiplatform Total War game more power to them as long as the PC version still gives me everything I expect from a Total War title. How they'd handle console controls is no business of mine because I wouldn't care as long as the PC version worked like I expected (which for a TW game means 'good, but some really fucking odd bugs')Sapient Pearwood said:

'Consolitis' was never as bad as people made out, didn't really last all that long and was mostly the work of experienced PC designers underestimating the consoles or perhaps not really understanding them. However, it is easier for gamers to blame external influences than to admit that their favourite designers screwed the pooch.
I also blame the idea that was popular at the time that "the experience needed to be the same on all platforms". I dunno who started that idea but they certainly needed their head fuckstarted... and turned out to be pretty much impossible as each platform turned out to have it's own little foibles.
That's either hyperbole or my homebuilt system is a NASA supercomputer in disguise (I thought the parts were a bit pricey but this is Australia after all).SenorFuzzeh said:
Yeah, turning a glorified tech demo/benchmark into an actual game. I feel taken down.Contextualizer said:
You're talking about Richard Morgan, head writer for Crysis 2. He didn't have anything to do with the production of Crysis. He's never had anything to do with the production of any video game, for that matter, having written books exclusively up to this point.DividedUnity said:
He should probably keep his mouth shut until a game he's written is actually finished.
things in australia are rather expensive, but they're just about as expensive here too. Considering you need to upgrade your computer every freakin year to play old games. (Yes earlier that was a hyperbole)... Plus its hard to work on a good computer when your a poor college studentRhomCo said:
Pfffft. My last upgrade was 2 1/2 years ago and my rig still handles everything I throw at it.SenorFuzzeh said:
It may be one of the best looking games on consoles, but it still wont look anywhere near as good as the PC version. Crytek has said that they want to make games that no modern PC can run on max settings, and making it for consoles is like making it for 5 year old PCs.ciortas1 said:
