Well I broke down and bought it......for the 360. I'll buy the PC version whenever they get the whole DX11 thing sorted out and when it goes on sale for next to nothing on Steam this fall.

Installing now....

Traded in HomeShit and picked up this for the 360. I'm not supporting a $60 PC game. Screw that.

Unless Fry's has it for $40, I'll probably wait until the DX11 patch is released.

I'd buy it now if they had announced that DX11 would not be available. Since I always have to play the best possible version of a game, it's just pointless to buy it now and have it sitting around.

Well the AI is dumber than a teapartier on tax day but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the most impressive looking console games I've ever seen. I'm playing it with my headphones on and I had to turn down the Michael Bay soundtrack because it's way too distracting imo. I swear you could fart in this game and the music would make it sound like Ben Afleck is blowing up a fucking asteroid.

Well I now I own the PC version as well. Wasn't expecting that but hey, whatever. I'm not going to turn down a gift.

First thing first, this game is not Crossfire friendly. I actually get lower framerates and weird graphic glitches with it turned on, so I had to disable that right away. Thankfully I can still play it at 1900x1200 at Extreme settings using just one of my video cards and still get a buttery smooth framerate. And I've started playing it with my wireless 360 controller since I was already playing it on the 360. I just raised the sensitivity to 60 or so and it feels great. I could never play the original Crysis with a gamepad because the game was too freakin' hectic but Crysis 2 on the PC is basically a prettier version of the console game. :Evilore cry: Just turn on your 360 controller and go. I know all the PC faggots out there demand kb/mouse for FPSers but I'm not one of them and you sure as hell don't need that set up here. I also gotta say that the bump up in resolution is a godsend because the enemies are kind of hard to see in the 360 version sometimes.

I can't believe I've got 2 copies of a game that I couldn't have given two shits about a week or so ago.

Detaillierte Texturen, schicke Effekte und viele Details machen vor allem auf der Xbox eine erstklassige Figur. Allein auf der PS3 sorgen immer wieder Framerate-Einbrüche für nervige Slowdowns. Unser Kollege von DigitalFoundry kam in einigen Momenten gerade mal auf 15 Frames pro Sekunde. Zu wenig, um auch nur ansatzweise als flüssig durchzugehen. Für einen Shooter katastrophal.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #326 on:** March 23, 2011, 05:18:27 PM »

Played some of it on the 360. It looks good. Better than the MP portion because of the more interesting geometry and the lighting seems better or something than in MP. But this does come at a cost. During a very heavy firefight the framerate and the combat feeling of the game suffers as the frame rate dips low. Whether that trade off for the graphics is acceptable or not will vary depending on the person I suppose.

My impressions seem similar from a gameplay perspective to when I played the leaked version on the PC. The AI is typical of the crysis series. One moment it feels good. The next it seems really twitchy and weird. I'm surprised they didn't do a better job of recapping the story at the beginning since this is the first one on consoles. A lot of newcomers may be be turned off as it just sort of starts without much backstory.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #337 on:** March 24, 2011, 01:10:15 AM »

Fun game. I did a numbers of missions and got further than I did in the leaked version. The gun play isn't so hot but the stealth is fun just like its always been in the series (though the AI is really bad). I have no idea what is going on in the story. Not that it matters of course because in a shooter all I really care about is the gameplay but I only mention it because they sort of tried to make a big deal of the story in the pre-release info hype. But gameplay wise I'm enjoying myself quite a bit. The music is quite good but I think the sound effects aren't so hot for some reason.

I also tried the multiplayer out just a little bit. It's what I expected from the demo. Not great. Not terrible. It's competent.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #338 on:** March 24, 2011, 08:36:35 AM »

I'm actually enjoying this one a hell of a lot more than I did with Crysis 1, especially when it comes to fighting the aliens. As soon as you stopped fighting the Koreans in the original Crysis, the game turned into complete shit. There was nothing enjoyable about fighting those Matrix squid things. Now the aliens seem like the more like Elites in Halo. Maybe they're not as smart Elites but at least there's no more flying spaghetti monsters raining blue death from a mile high. What I don't care for is the few points in the game where they'll throw out endless swarms of enemies at you until you reach a certain checkpoint ala Modern Warfare. Crysis 1 may have done this too towards the end though I never stuck around long enough to find out, but it's very apparent here like in the section where you have to cross the pier to get to Gould's lab. That building in the middle is like a clown car filled with Cell solders. It just never ends.

And GAF seems to hate it which makes me like it even more. For me it's always the Costanza rule when it comes to GAF. Always do the opposite and more often than not you'll be happy.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #340 on:** March 24, 2011, 06:58:46 PM »

Very fun and enjoyable game. Pretty lengthy also. Probably my favorite of these type spectacle shooters since MW 2. I just wish it was legit tougher (playing on hard but honestly it feels like the easy mode in some games) and the gun play was a bit better but its still really fun. Very different game than crysis 1 which will annoy certain types but still really fun in my book.

This and Dead Space 2 are easily the best games of this year so far for me.

The game is good and the graphics are just extra which is kinda the way I like it especially since I'm not overly enamored with graphics.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #341 on:** March 24, 2011, 07:30:48 PM »

The fucking game erased all my nano points I was saving up for the 16000 pt upgrade. Son of a bitch. I know I was close too after defeating two of those mechs during the evacuation section(s). At least I've got the two that I really wanted - the upgraded cloaking and bullet deflection - but what a freaking pain in the ass to have to build that shit up again.

Rule #1: never quit on a new level before it gives you a checkpoint.

I think I'm near or at the end of the game but I kind of feel a bit deflated after losing those nano points. :/

I'm sure there is somewhere and if it isn't out there yet someone's probably working on it. *sigh* Oh well. Like I said I think I'm near the end -

Hargrove finally showed his true colors and tried to take the nano suit off me but what's her name from the first game came in and saved the day. Now it's off to find Hargrove.

That's near the end, right? I haven't run into any cloaked enemies yet but I'm assuming I'm about to run into a butt load pretty soon. I'm sure I can manage without the 16000pt upgrade but the fact that I lost those points is irritating as hell.

it was an error actually. Should be interesting what other games will come from them using this engine.

Isn't there some Ghetto Golf game for XBLA that'll run on CryEngine 3? I think the next STALKER game will too.

I don't think CryEngine will ever be able to come close to Unreal Engine's usage but it looks to be a pretty good alternative.

Hopefully its better than CryEngine 2's luck.

The mp is growing on me a little bit.

Although it plays nothing like the very crazy videos they put up for the marketing. In fact it plays quite slow as most people tend to be cloaked or stop moving when they run out of energy so they can recharge it.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #348 on:** March 25, 2011, 12:08:24 AM »

Well I finished it but the whole thing about not being able to collect nano from the Ceph towards the end kinda made it a bit of a downer. But that 16000pt suit enhancement turned out to be a complete joke anyway. You'd only use it once during the entire game and even then you don't really need it if you just tag the dudes with your visor. Still, not being able to collect nano just gave me more incentive towards the end to just turn on my stealth and run from checkpoint to checkpoint. Infact I didn't even fire a single shot during the last level until I had to fight the cloaked guys. $:-\$

That's honestly why I like some of the forced fight levels. Because it is kinda easy to just avoid battles you don't want to have for most of the game. In fact sometimes I fight not because I have to but because I just haven't fought in awhile and want that change of pace.

Beat it this evening. A little over 9 hours. My end impressions are pretty much the same as my midpoint impressions. Very good looking on the consoles. Somewhat sketchy frame rate. Kinda weak gunplay. Fun stealth although the AI is often broken. Story is mostly throw away. A few glitches. I fell out of the world one time for instance and couldn't get back in it and had to reload from a checkpoint. Lots of impressive spectacle moments or graphics displays.

Starts off kinda slow. There is a really really strong middle part of the game that I think is the best part of the game. The end part is okay but gets kinda dumb

spoiler (click to show/hide)

(I had to actually look up how to open the door at the end of the game. It never even occurred that you had to fight those invisible guys which is dumb because in every other section of the game you aren't expected to do that unless it specifically tells you to)

[close]

The strength of the game is that it essentially combines a cod shooter approach with stealth and some larger sandbox areas. If the gun play and frame rate were tighter on consoles and the AI a bit better it would be a really really amazing game. Those flaws kind of drop it to just being a good game though but one I really enjoyed. I might replay it on supersoldier since Hard is really easy for the most part and I enjoyed it.

what the hell is with enemies WALKING TOWARDS you even though you're stealthed? i don't get it. i am able to take a dude out and remain cloaked yet when i look i see every enemy is now walking in my directing. during the pier section i had a literal parade of dudes following me as i made my way to the objective. i should have screenshot it.

the AI is just not good. in the first game even on normal the enemies had some sense of logic to it's patterns.

the only thing i really really enjoy is using the pistol. it feels real good and i use it more often than any other gun. well unless i am facing the shitty squid aliens because they take a ton of hits.

and the "cover system" sucks.

I noticed this also in many spots. And at that same spot you mention also. I think they have like radio communications so they know when you kill a guy and he doesn't report in that you may be around that general location. Also sometimes the alert can go to yellow if they see you jump or run or something even when cloaked and they will go towards that area. But yeah I agree. It is somewhat funky.
