WTF? You guys like Crysis 2 MP?

[IamSofaKingRaw]

I read all the hype surrounding it, watched gameplay from the other platform demos (PC, 360) and tonight I finally played it. (And by finally I mean after sitting for about 45 minutes searching for a match)

Boy was I HUGELYdisappointed.
-The graphics aren't good. I'm talking MW2 bad, I don't care its a demo because the games coming out next week or so. so many pop ins, it reminded me of Gears of War. Add to that that the 360 and PC versions look WAAAY better than the PS3 version. Thanks for half-assing our version Crytek. -___-
-The gunplay is HORRIBLE. There are no hitmarkers so everyone just sprays the guns randomly until someone dies. You don't even know when you are hitting someone. Its so frustrating watching a killcam of some guy spraying the gun around in a circle then all of a sudden the killcam goes into slowmo and ONE GODDAMN bullet headshots you.
-The maps are HORRIBLE.
-All the guns feel the same. Th SCAR, and that LMG kill with the same amount of bullets
-The game plays like Halo mixed with COD (not in a good way). COD with the terrible spraying gunplay and killstreaks, and Halo with the armor and health. Did I mention how terrible the gunplay is?
-Hit Detection is BAD. I've watched killcams of people shooting the air next to me then I'd just drop dead, wtf?
-The thing I hate the most though is that when you respawn for some **** reason you can't move and have to sort of jump around before the game will allow you to move forward. (IDK maybe its just for me but that pisses me off.)

The only good thing I see about the MP is the parkour and armor abilities.

The SP of that game better be good or you'll see a lot of 7/10 reviews for this game. Did I mention the graphics, I was so pissed when I first got into a game and said to myself, "Wow, this game looks just as good as MW2..."


..I..(-_-)..I.. Crytek and Crysis 2
/rant

Any other PS3 players out there that played this demo

You lost me at bad graphics. You are not a gamer if you care THAT much about graphics, because I played the Crysis demo, and if THATS bad graphics, then you need to rethink your standards.

Even though I was highly disappointed with this game, I don't think it was that bad. However, I was on the PC... As for the graphics, you using a limited version of the CryEngine 3 on a DX9 System. Of course its going to look like crap. Just look at Crysis 1 PC compared to Crysis 2 PC ( which is currently only DX9 ).

-I installed it and played it perfectly, first time, every time, though I have it for PC.

-Graphics go PC>PS3>360.

-People spray in almost every shooter now.

-You get two maps, and I find them enjoyable.

-Same again with almost every shooter.

-That depends on the way you play it, you can be Mr. boring not doing badass things, or you can be Mr. Badass that runs, climbs a wall, goes stealth and snipes a team from behind.

-That was probably lag because I had no problems with this.

-That was lag again.

And that's all I have to say about that.

MW2 bad? How on any scale were the graphics in that game bad? You sir, require a visit to the optometrist.

 

[Flying Pilgrim]

I kinda agree with your opinions, I played the demo and thought it was a big piece-of-crap.

-Graphics go PC>PS3=360.

Fixed.

 

[Fenring]

-Graphics go PC>PS3=360.

Fixed.

YOU'RE BOTH WRONG! The 360 actually runs better than the PS3. It should read PC>360>PS3

You know when you play a game that looks awesome like God of War 3, the first Crysis, Uncharted 2, KZ3 etc.. and you take the time to look around at the scenery and take in how beautiful everything is?

Yeah, I did that with Crysis 2 and did not get the "this is beautiful" feeling.

Don't start a fanboy war. But the PS3 has 'prettier' games than the 360

Not "beautiful" =/= bad.

It has better gameplay than Call of Duty. About your graphics complaint... a game made for a console has the same limited graphics as another game made for a console? Surprise surprise. Maybe PS3/360 can't handle graphics past MW2 quality, hmm?

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Modern Warfare 2 is the low standard for graphics now? What? Not even Black Ops, a game that looks far worse, Modern Warfare 2?!

Will this site never cease to find empty reasons to bash the game?!

OT: I thought it was a laggy, generic mess with mostly broken main mechanics, terribly floaty controls mixed with the incredibly low health amount of the CoD games. That does not mix.

The controls in CoD are some of the most precise in today's shooters. Crysis 2 is floaty and slow. You don't mix Killzone with CoD and expect them to match perfectly.

But, at the same time, what? No hitmarkers?

I'm pretty fucking sure there were some.

Uncharted 2. Killzone 3. Heavy Rain. Final Fantasy XIII. Mass Effect 2. The hell are you talking about?

The argument "oh, they dumbed it all down for the console peasant" should not fly here.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Looks better in my eyes. I may go pick it up too.

I'm not a console gamer so I just threw that out as a suggestion. Hence the question mark. Not sure why you're being so overly defensive about this.

Anyhow, since the majority of people here seem to hate it I'll have to give it a try; I generally have the opposite opinion of most people on this site. (IE: I think minecraft is stupid.)

Alright, then.

It's just a given I would go in defensive mode, this being a predominantly PC gaming site and me being a predominantly console gamer.

That was a bit of an overreaction.

If you noticed, the graphics aren't the only reason I think the game (well demo) is terrible. Its just that they were hyped as the BEST, but when I played it the graphics aren't even top 3 all time and I'm a console only gamer. -_-
