Crysis 2 Message Board  

Sorry but when you always end at point B and the only difference is when you go right or left its not sandbox. Just cause 2 is a sandbox game. Crysis was just a better looking Farcry. Crysis 2 is far superior to the original. Aliens are more fun to fight (not just oh look 20 blue flying things shooting at me, let me get that gauss gun), soldiers are more intelligent (play the hardest difficulty and tell me different.) More suit powers = way more ways to handle a situation. Turn it off normal and it gets fun fast.

It was probably because they made the game for multi platform, xbox 360, ps3, and pc. If it was only pc, I'm 100% sure the gameplay, story, graphics, and anything else would have been improved beyond our imaginations, but they stopped to a point where consoles can play the game too, IMO it ruined the game. Because console discs can only hold so much data before you can't put anymore, PC is infinity. I hope if Crysis 3 or something does come out, they would make it only for PC and make it a bit more graphically demanding, IE at least a GTX 460 or so to run the game. Not complaining Crysis 2 graphics aren't good, but it could be way better.

you say u got the game friday? but the retail game released yesterday the 22nd. i sure like to know how to get games released early to me as well, must have someking of connections on the inside market. 🤔

oh well.

Let me reply to a couple common questions & comments here.
1. People buy EU keys and apply them to US accounts to play the game before the US release date. (Though you're not supposed to EA doesn't do a thing about it.)

2. A lot of people feel this game lost it's sandbox quality. This game never had a sandbox. You just have different options. It's not a true open world such as Just Cause. You can always go about the game what-ever way you see fit with what options you have. You're not as limited as you think you are. Most people just are picky.

3. The comment from chaux kind-of annoyed me. "pc are infinity?" I'm not going to go into the lapse of grammar just the fact that no, it isn't. First off, production companies have to pay out the nose for the media they put on CDs. The DVD you put in a computer is the same you put in an XBox. The difference is the installation and the option of a digital copy.

That doesn't mean they're going to only go digital to make it such a large game they cut out consoles. Until everyone is only using BluRay discs in their PCs, get used to it. Especially since last year there was a 52% drop in PC game sales while consoles are on the rise...again. Personally I hate those games that take 5 dvds to install. A lot of people prefer physical copies. Just my 2¢ on the topic.

Where did you get that "52%" drop from? That's just plain wrong. Any number that actually cares to include digital sales, show a good increase for PC. The same when you look at profits. Shops selling physical discs may or may not perhaps have a 52% decrease, thanks to digital, and web sales.

And Crysis 1 was waaay MORE a sandbox game than Crysis 2. That's what people are saying, me included. It might not be called a TRUE sandbox game at some anally detailed level. Some of us expected a contuining of the wonderful gameplay Crysis 1 gave us, not what's basically yet another CoD clone. Although extremely good looking.

I'm not saying I don't like Crysis 2, but it lacks "it", where Crysis 1 had "it". And Crysis 2 has a lot of "consolifications", such as immortal civilians, hateful save points and no proper save function. There are loads more, but never mind.

And while I'm at it, about being "picky". All those that complained that Crysis 1 was to demanding on hardware: You made games, and the market, worse. Crysis 1, as well as for example Doom 3, was made "futureproof". In effect, impossible to run at higher graphical levels at time of release, so that when you replay the game years later, it could be run with much better visuals. But thanks to all these ignorant complaints, that will not happen again in games, as it leads to bad publicity. Now Crysis 2 will look exactly the same on a new powerful rig 2-3 years from now, as it does on an average rig today.

PS. Once all people on the internet are comfortable speaking my native language, or that of Chaux, or anyone else really, we can start argue about grammar and spelling. Fram tills dess kanske man kan vara lite tolerant.

I cant find anything i did not like in the game, good amount of action, a good story for once and none of those oversized boss fights.

Can you feel it is a port yes, does it matter not really still a good game and plays well, the suit features works great with the buttons being the way it is.

Overall the game has alot of nice addons to the nanosuit and also weapons seem to have some variations to there setup.

As I said, there is a DECENT amount to make it a game that SHOULD be played...but paying a $59.99 price tag ? Let alone anything over $15 is an insult. I applaud PC Piracy in this case, very strongly. Seriously, who could blame them now for just wanting to play it but not pay for this game? At best it is just something to pass up time then throw out into the bargain bin.

lol people talk like crysis 1 was the god of all games,well i call fud on that. crysis 1 was no more than a typical two times through then bordum as most others.crysis 2 is just more of the same,was fun now time to move on to the next.
