Crysis

[Foo]

Oh hai.

So now it's old enough that I don't have to pay console prices for Crysis anymore I picked it up...

Quality game. Still some of the same frustrations of the previous game (like terrible vehicle phys0cs) but after spending a straight 20 minutes stealthily hunting asians with rifles in woodland in the middle of the night... I cannot in good conscience complain.

I heard the alien sections get gay which is a shame... What this game needs is a random island generator so you can just run through and clear it out.

[tnf]

what system are you running it on?
I don't know that mine would handle it but I'd like to check it out.

AMD 64 2.2Ghz
1 gb ram
bfg 6800Gt oc 256

would it run it on medium/low?

[Massive Quasars]

Horribly, or not at all, tnf.

[Foo]

Q6600, 4Gb, Vista 64, 8800

I can only play it on medium and get solid framerates throughout.

[seremtan]

i take it the graphics get more intense later on since i can run the demo @ 1280x1024 high quality no probs on core 2 6600, 2GB & 8800

also, i doubt that quad makes any difference, or the two extra gigs of RAM. probably vista fucking up your shit somehow

I play both, and respect both of their pros and cons.

[seremtan]

i respect the pros and cons of PC gaming, but think consoles are gay pieces of shit made for tards

On low with youre config, but there a lots of tweaks that can turn youre game into almost high quality with no lost of FPS.

lol, fps games on consoles

About Crysis - yes, towards the end the game will put more strain on your hardware than in the beginning. While the early jungle-sneaking levels played perfectly alright for me, the end fight was more a slideshow (single digit fps) than anything else on my poor 2.4GHz X2 and 2900XT.

Maybe I should reinstall it and check if my new E8400/8800 GTS 512 handles it better.

[Foo]

Die yankeeshankeee!!! AAAAIIIIIIIIIGGGHHH

[brisk]

there are two killer moments. the end bit and the "other" alien bit. you'll know when you see them for obvious reasons

[seremtan]

it's a dogman!

[phantasmagoria]

I throughly enjoyed it, mainly for the retarded physics. Throwing people through houses or picking them up and throwing them in the air and shooting them is always fun. I never really found a use for picking up the wildlife, other than entertaining myself by throwing them at enemies.

I got bored during the alien bits, and wasn't that impressed by the end sequence. also the game was missing a silent sneak up and kill weapon, ie a knife.

It is undeniably the best looking game ever though, going back to cod4 is like going back to space invaders.

[Dr_Watson]

was pretty... but once you get out of the woods and onto the mountain it gets a bit lame. also, not enough of the gauss rifle. that thing ruled.

eye plai both SHHHHHH

You think I wasn't?

[Foo]

Man the ice section plays like complete shit... whats the deal...

[shadd_]

the engine obviously needs some work. there is currently no hardware setup that can play this game smooth all the way through. including 3 8800ultras.

didnt sound like it
