Quote from FuryoI'd be very interested in some download stats for that patch and how many people are actually running that patch. As a test drive of the PC gaming community so to speak.I personally find myself absolutely totally uninterested by the update, which is probably a sign I'm more of a console gamer than a PC gamer by now....or maybe not even a gamer at all. It's all gfx porn to me and doesn't raise the quality of the GAME in any way...but oh well.
I think you are kinda missing the point as well.
First and foremost, as you said yourself, you are a console gamer so whether or not a puddle reflects accurately or not, it does not impact your judgment of the game as a entertainment piece, and well, yeah, it shouldn't.
But Crysis2 is not only a game, it is also a benchmark title for CryEngine3, modders and possible future licensees will look at this tech with different eyes now, after seeing what it can do, both on PC and consoles. If PC's are faster and stronger than consoles, why not take advantage of that and actually use it, and It's a free anyway.
Also, as you know, some companies do certain things really well, and others not so good. What Crytek does best, is graphical beauty and benchmark, and It's staying true to it's roots and one's got to respect that. It's the same for almost everything in life, if you as a individual are really good at something specific, it makes you valuable. Crytek has always been the best in it's field, and it wants to keep that spot in the podium.
