Crysis 2

    It's already out (I updated to it a couple of days ago). Unless that was patch 1.01 or something else.

    Doesn't resolve the problems as promised.

    lol wat

    I was looking forward to this for ages, and whilst it is a decent game, its got some frustrating issues Playing it on the 360 is not the smoothest experience ever, though kudos to them for making it look so nice generally. It's crashed my Xbox a couple of times and i've had a wierd bug where the frame rate dropped to about 5 fps when i got out a vehicle, until i hit the next checkpoint.

    The main problem is the AI, which can normally be found walking into walls, or occasionally won't load in properly at a checkpoint leaving them standing there while you are free to do what you wish to them. Also they have a tendency to be able to see me through walls or the floor, at one point today i was down in a subway taking the route underneath them all and tracer fire started coming in through the ceiling. I really want to enjoy this game and i'm sure i will look back on it fondly when its over as its very cinematic and quite epic at times (though the story is a bit convoluted). I just hope with Crysis 3 the AI can be improved to match the quality of the rest of the game

    There's auto aim? Where?

    Apparently they kept it in the game but because PC gamers don't want auto aim as this isn't a console, they released the patch that removes it. I live in the US and my game patched on the 22nd so I never saw it but apparently they still kept other console tells like the 'Please select Start to begin' message. That too was removed via the patch.

    It's a fun game but things like locking the console, adding auto aim, etc are nice ways to piss off PC gamers. Especially on a sequel to a game like Crysis. Personally they didn't really bother me (except for the locked console, that's just stupid) as I can turn things like auto-aim off but I can't help but question if it's because of developing for three platforms and those were default options that get applied across the board, or if they just didn't bother with making the PC version a PC game.

    Still waiting for that announcement, what ever it may be, so at this point I can only guess.

    Also, check point saves are stupid for a game like this.

    My copy turned up the day after release so I never got the locked console or auto aim. Was wondering what people were on about for a moment!

    So far I'm finding it all amazing in the art department and not much else unfortunately The human soldiers you fight aren't very fun to fight. Just started up against some aliens, we'll see how that goes. Gets pretty boring for me if I play it for more than 30 minutes. Crysis 1 I could play for ages. One of the things that is REALLY annoying me with this is the game keeps taking control away from me to show off it's in game cut-scenes and talk-a-thons. The hold "use key to witness event" I don't mind but the removing control part I'm not a fan of so far.

    Not had to put in too much customisation either to get it "Pc friendly" just an fov change and that chaps graphics tool

    I shall report back with more later.

    I agree, the human soldiers are boring to fight, I found the aliens to be far more enjoyable. In fact, I was relatively disappointed when I first started playing. I still haven't beat it but I think it's safe to say that I enjoyed the first Crysis more. It was advertised as a sandboxish game and it played like one. Along with the fairly open environments and incredible graphics, the immersion was impressive to me. Crysis 2, while fun seems like it never really "peaks" like I wanted it to regarding entertainment. It's also far more story orientated so the addition to more cut scenes and less control takes away from the game in my opinion.

    It's clearly a sequel to the first in that it continues the story and you have the suit, but I was hoping to return to the jungles and find Prophet like the ending of Crysis 1 led me to believe. Perhaps number three will be an in-betweener scenario and we can go back to the island.

    I don't think I'd pay the $60 again if I had the chance, I was mainly hoping to mod the game but I have no idea what the status of that is and I could certainly live with out playing the game until it came down in price.

    the twitter account is legit but it doesn't say when it comes..

    is the game that bad without tesselation?

    did you guys know that crysis isn't just a tech demo? right..?
