Also just signed it myself.
Multiplayer is supposed to be a big part of Crysis 2, so if it turns out to be as good as it looks I'll buy it.
[QUOTE=Achilles123;28040142]I'm actually glad the game got pirated. I didn't think they deserved any money for Crysis 1, and I don't think they deserve it for Crysis 2. They are everything that's wrong with the gaming market today.
This is all personal opinion, of course.
Also, Blackwheel, you can't argue worth jack. You lost, and then you kept on insisting you won. You never even presented one coherent argument.[/QUOTE]
Common man, you can't say "they are everything that's wrong with the gaming market today" without explaining yourself a little more.
@suppertime You're arguing that the PC is not a viable gaming platform? Or just specifically against the companies I mentioned? I still believe that those companies were long-term success stories on PC. Valve with the Half Life series. Blizzard with Starcraft. And Creative Assembly with the Total War series.
I will say that I see your point with steam being a type of drm, but it is a good one that blends its own security with convenience. You could define Steam as simply an effort to establish a closed ecosystem, much like the one on consoles. More and more though, it seems that this type of system is necessary, which is unfortunate in a way.
And this is a discussion, there is no winning or losing, and rarely is there compromise. But there is no way you can accuse me of not presenting a coherent argument because I clearly presented my two points with evidence, all neatly summarized in one post.

"common man". What? Anyways, I did explain myself. I also said it was opinion.
Also, you're off your rocker. Of course there's ""winning" and "losing". The person who at the end carries more support than his opponent, "wins", because his opponent's word no longer carries any weight. And you got obliterated.
Your "coherent argument" consisted of you claiming things without providing any evidence and insisting they're fact despite everyone else telling you how wrong you are.

Go back to my post and look at the big red letters that read evidence. And you definitely did not explain yourself with that statement, you just said it was an "opinion". That's not enough.
There is no winning or losing, it's a simple difference of opinion, hence the reason why you stated "it was opinion" regarding your own post because that's exactly what it was. And I can argue against your opinion, and the only way I "win" is if I convince you otherwise. I haven't convinced you, and nobody has convinced me otherwise, so nobody here has "won" or "lost", as you want to put it.
Edit:
Also, I'm open to "losing". If you provide an example that changes my mind, and I am convinced, then that is fine with me. Hasn't happened yet...
Still, winning or losing is not what I would call it. I would simply call it a discussion.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;28040306]Some of these posts, this one included is starting to make me wonder something...I'm a huge shooter fan and Crysis easily has some of the best gameplay I've seen in a shooter, ever.
Am I seeing something that almost nobody else is? Because all I hear about Crysis is "Great graphics, terrible gameplay." Well, save for the reviewers, they praised the gameplay as well.[/QUOTE]
I also think crysis was the best fps I've ever played. I have trouble believing that people saying crysis was just a tech demo or only had good graphics have ever played the game.
While the story was weak, the gameplay was awesome, and crysis wars is the most balanced and challenging multiplayer I've experienced.
[QUOTE=Achilles123;28040294]They release games specifically targeting the twelve and thirteen year olds who care nothing about story and little about gameplay, and then package up what could have been a really good game, but with half the stuff that could've missing.[/QUOTE]
I actually went back in the thread to see if you were talking about CoD.
How the fuck does Crysis target twelve and thirteen year olds? And how is half the game missing?

First of all, I finished it in about 4 hours, give or take one. Second, the story was so incredibly cliche and overused that I could pretty much guess exactly what was going to happen before it did.
Except for the aliens bit, because I really didn't think they'd throw in something so incredibly overused and which had absolutely no point at all except to extend the game by about an hour and impress you with WOW ALIEN CAVERNS WOW ALIEN GUNS WOW NUKE. \
As for your post, Black, you, uh, just completely seemed to ignore my post but whatever. My reasons for why I think so are in my second post.
It doesn't matter whether or not one of us changes our own opinions. It's about who the majority thinks is retarded, to put it simply. In this argument, it's probably me, but in yours it was definitely you.
The "evidence" you used wasn't any real evidence at all, as someone right below you pointed out why you were wrong and you paid literally no attention to it. Also, Valve is an exception because they maintain Steam, which has maybe two other services to compete with that don't reach anywhere near Steam.

That's really odd, I've been re-playing Crysis 1 to commemorate Crysis 2's impending release, the past 3 days I've totaled in about 5 hours and I'm only on the third level. I like to go at my own pace, but I'm far from a snail, but if what you say is true you really rushed headstrong through the game rather than trying to find side-routes that are often abundant in the first half of the game.
I agree with you the story was cliche, and I thought the Alien ship level was eye-candy, but from a gameplay standpoint it was kind of tedious. Getting out though, I loved fighting the flying alien thingies and the walkers. I still fully respect your opinion and such but I think maybe if you tried taking your time with the game you may have enjoyed it more, that's just my two cents, and I don't think your opinion about Crysis itself is retarded at all.
On a side note, is it just me or does regular Crysis run a thousand times better than warhead? I can run Crysis all very high DX10 without AA fine, but if I use those same settings in Warhead I get 10 fps. What's up with that? Also, is anyone else re-playing Crysis for nostalgia sake?
You could be right, I suppose. I didn't really even know there were side routes until someone pointed it out to me.
I just don't think, even with all the side routes in the world, it would change my opinion of the game, although I guess it may have made it last longer.

Yeah, and hey if the game just wasn't your thing that's that, no sense replaying something that you didn't enjoy, the only reason I explored a lot was because I typically play open world RPGs so I'm always looking for interesting things to find. They are mostly pretty well hidden thanks to all the trees and whatnot.

So you totally missed the whole point of "do what you want, the world is open" and ran straight through the game on most likely the easiest difficulty, and your only valid complaint is about the aliens, which everyone agrees on.
That makes it targeted at twelve and thirteen year olds and a terrible game. Ok. I think you're an idiot, and if you hate the game so much, why are you posting in this thread?
[editline]13th February 2011[/editline]
Also I have over thirty hours in Crysis, I'm still not bored of it, and playing on Delta the game can easily last at an upwards of 15 hours.

If you want to think that, that's fine. I never really play games at the easiest difficulty unless the harder ones I honestly can't do, but think whatever you want.
Also, obviously you're correct, do whatever you want means "EXPLORE OR DIE", and is really code for "don't play the game, just look at all the pretty scenery"
I'm posting in this thread because it's not labeled "Only people who like Crysis allowed"

Uh no there are enemies all over the place, bonus objectives and extra items/vehicles scattered everywhere.
What you're doing is borderline trolling.
It amazes me that this petition thread turned into a "Crysis is generic, boring, blah blah blah, tech demo, hate." thread. Look, don't like the game? Stay off from this thread. Don't come here saying you find the game shitty while others do enjoy it.
Arguing over whether a game is generic or not is so subjective it's not even worth considering
I'd sign the petition if I wasn't so sure I can't even run the game.
[editline]14th February 2011[/editline]
Also a shooter isn't generic just because it has guns in it.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, no matter how exaggerated it comes off or how much we may disagree with it.
But yes, I do agree that the common belief Crysis is just a glorified Tech Demo is kind of frustrating but eh whatever. I myself enjoy the game and in the end that's all that matters to me.
Tech demo or not, there is nothing quite like jumping out of a bush in strength mode and punching a Korean in the face, then watching him do a sumersalt.
[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;28043063]Tech demo or not, there is nothing quite like jumping out of a bush in strength mode and punching a Korean in the face, then watching him do a sumersalt.[/QUOTE]
I loved grabbing a Korean, going near a breakable hut, engaging strength, jumping then at the peak of my jump punching and tossing him upwards only to have him fall about 70 feet downwards and have him crash through the roof of it, so many good times! It still never gets old to me.
Also, fucking around with random objects and throwing them at enemies never gets old either.
I'll sign in a bit, but can someone answer me this question:
How the fuck was everyone surprised by the Aliens? Not only did the game itself hint at their existence since the very beginning of the game (Aztec getting mutilated, then showing a freaking alien in the flesh grabbing Jester), but the aliens were also mentioned in preview articles and material, too. Sure, they weren't as emphasized as the graphics and the nanosuit, but they WERE mentioned. Yet I keep seeing people who say they were surprised when the Aliens stepped into focus halfway through the game.

Yeah, no idea. You actually can see an alien at the very beginning of the game when you go parachuting. If you look to your right, you can see it steadily flying towards colliding with you. Putting on night-vision helps too.
Some people are really slow I guess, or they just don't pay much attention. Since the story and voice acting's pretty dull some people just tune it all out. I also seem to be the only person who loved fighting the aliens (Minus the raw-ones in the ship.) It was so satisfying gunning down a flyer with your minigun/gauss gun.
It definitely wasn't everyone who was surprised though, the majority did see it coming and it was that clicheness everyone has a tiff about, but I don't blame them.
Normally I take the "online petitions never work" approach here but I don't want Crytek to lose faith in us PC gamers. I've played the Beta and really enjoyed it, so much so I decided to put it down and get the full version, I originally wasn't going to buy it but playing the leak changed my mind.

I did not ignore your post.
Your reasons are not in your second post, I checked.
The majority is just a combination of various opinions.
I responded to that other guys post.
I use real evidence.
God, FP and it's army of white knights
Not to mention it's stupid mentality, this whole thing was someone in Crytek's fault
You can't expect people to not make use of this, not to mention I bet a HUGE majority of FP downloaded this and then complained about the pirates

Wow obviously people caring about something = white knighting.
The cause of this or what people actually do with it is irrelevant, what will come of it is to fuel the fire of the common belief that PC gaming is conductive to piracy.
The whole point of this is to try and prove that developing for PC isn't a lost cause.
Any Australians want to have a game? The server is set up PM me for details ;)

You can't be serious.
Is this an actual initiative for just an online petition?
Anti-bandwagon bandwagoning. Yep, this is still facepunch alright.
Really, get over yourselves and your ego-trip. Agreeing with the majority because it MAKES SENSE isn't the death of you. Since when was Crysis a tech demo? Did we forget that it actually had some cool game features?
