Crysis 2

[E Quantifier]

For anyone on thier second playthrough, are you able to collect Nanocatalyst?

[QUOTE=clanratc;28825714]That's just a glitch. When the AI actually works, which is most of the time, it is really good.[/QUOTE]

Doesn't make it any less funny.

[Spongmana]

So I'm loving the campaign so far, but I've got a problem.
After 30+ minutes of gameplay my computer just randomly shuts down without warning, like someone pulled the plug out of it. I've tried putting my fan on max. and opening the case for maximum cooling but it still keeps happening.

I already got the graphical options on High (can't go any lower (?)), and the demo ran fine on 'Gamer'

Any ideas on fixing this?

Still processing so the quality is low... but you get the idea.

"We have the most advanced AI system in a game," Yerli told CVG. "We think that Crysis 2 has the most advanced AI for both humans and aliens you've ever seen."

It's the sound that gets me hahaha.... stupid ai.[/QUOTE]
While that's hilarious, it's more of a bug in the scripting. The enemy AI seems to be really good, the little bastards manage to surprise me all the time.

Anyone mind telling me what kind of performance I can expect with an e6600, GTX260, and 4gb ram?

I played a bit of this on a console and despite not enjoying it as much as Crysis the glowing praise here has convinced me to actually give the full thing a shot

[BloodYScar]

They really nailed the death animations, incredible stuff you see sometimes.

[Spetzaz]

My problem is that Multiplayer doesn't work for me. :saddowns:
Campaign was great but now I want to play online.
Fucking Crytek, DRM is a kick in the face for us consumers and not for the pirates.

[redBadger]

The only problem with MP for me is the not saving of my stats/unlockables.

[Spetzaz]

Crytek didn't exactly...
well, some of the textures...

Yeah, it really does look natural as hell. Shame that weird thing from Crysis persists where you can't interact with the ragdoll at all. Like, there's no blood spurts or anything when you shoot it, and it doesn't move when you shoot it with a rocket launcher. Kind of an immerson killer and a bit pointless when you consider Far Cry allowed you to do it.

Anyone remember early ragdolls? Weren't they fun?

It's for left handed people.

The AI really kills the mood for me.

Here I am, being all badass in armor/stealth mode, killing soldiers/aliens when all of a sudden, one of them starts running away from me, against a wall, with no purpose whatsoever while all the others shoot at me.
Either that, or I kill one right in front of another, and he just keeps looking around until I get really close to him. Oh, and no cloak activated.

Aliens do the same things. One of them even ran away from me while fighting me to hide behind one of those metal cover things the soldiers lifted up. Except he hid behind the cover, after running away from me, from the "covering side" of the barrier".
In short, it was covering itself as if I was coming, except I had already passed the cover barrier and could easily see it completely.

Then theres those times where the AI seems to be dead, and then suddenly kills you with an assload of fire which you would never expect.

It either works on 1, or on 1000... Mostly good, but, you tend to see bugs alot, which is kind of bad since their stupid funny looking bugs on a game thats supposed to be nothing short of well polished and perfected.

Also, Crytek, FIX THE MULTIPLAYER! Everyone seems to lag like a bitch and lots of stuff aren't working properly! I've unlocked 2 weapons twice and reached level 9 twice! Hell, I'm using the grenade launcher without having it unlocked?! I hope I don't reach level 50 and have to unlock stuff again, because I assume I wont have those unlocking "passes" anymore.

Also, doesn't it sometimes seem weird that you either find crappy players, and other times you find REALLY GOOD ones? I don't mean really good, I mean PERFECT. The kind that SOMEHOW see's you passing by with cloak on meters away and gently aiming at you?

If I remember correctly it's because of German censorship that they cut the ragdolls being messed with.
The animations are really great, I side stepped a cell soldier trying to melee me and he stumbled forward and almost fell over .

[Generic.Monk]

I love playing against crappy players, it makes me feel like I'm actually good at the game.

Listen to the first minute or two of this, it played on the ruins of Central Park for me, what strikes me is that it reminds me a lot of MGS3.

I think there was a mod to fix it for Crysis 1, I hope someone make something similar.

[Spetzaz]

Talking about texture fails, here's another one;

Ok. So I just finished it. This has probably been said but I'm not reading 120 pages to find out. It's a big spoiler btw

I think that's just a gap in the level geometry, noting to do with textures.

That's only going to happen if we get our sandbox. Can't wait for that to come.

Also is the game still using preset graphical settings? I know you can use that tool but a game where you need to edit configs to change settings is a broken game.

Wha? Where the hell did that arm come from?

Also I don't want to sound overly critical but [sp]How you have Hargreave always talking to you over the comm chat with his face posted in the corner. Then he betrays you at the end. I hate to tell you Crytek but anyone who played bioshock already saw that scenario 4 years ago. I saw it coming ever since he started going on about how interesting he though the ceph were[/sp]

[redBadger]

I think it's for a later cutscene but it appeared for some reason. More specifically, when the train is about to hit you.

They released a patch that changed the preset settings. Before you get your hopes up, all it did was change their [b]names[/b] from 'Gamer', 'Advanced' and 'Hardcore' to 'High' 'Very High' and 'Extreme'.

Their fucking names.

Thanks crytek, that makes a world of difference.

Yup. This is totally what my $60 is going towards. NTY crytek. I'll buy a Crysis 2 key for $29 and put $60 towards fully supporting a DICE game.

I'd estimate you could get to Very High pretty easily, possibly Extreme on lower resolutions. I've got the same GPU, but with a Sandy Bridge i5. I can play at Extreme at 1600x900 with 2xAA with slowdowns here and there.

I just don't understand this. Crytek is a studio that up until this point was an exclusively PC developer. Did they all have lobotomies in the last 3 years and forgot how to develop Pc games?

[Theorisable]

Another texture fail, I saw a canister of Liquid Nitrogen telling you what to do if you got "frostbote".

tell to be fair that's a small typo on a tiny texture, it's not a glaring issue

It seems like you only wanted to spend your $60 for an editor, advanced settings, and DX11.
