[PC] Crysis

I can't wait for the single player. Looks like FarCry but with weapon modding and plasmids. Which is a good thing might I add. I can't comment on my multiplayer views due to lack of contentual knowledge, unfortunately ^^;

How ya doing, buddy?

SLI should not be required to run this game. Sure it looks pretty. But I'm sure if they spent more time on the technology they could get it to run perfectly fine on a single 8800. Seriously. Let's see how pratical this is.

Probably 20% of the gaming market plays "state of the art" PC games today. Perhaps 70% of them have an 8800. And maybe 50% of them have SLI. So that's about 7.5% of the total gaming market. Yeah... this is gonna be great. I could be totally off, this is just how I feel about the issue, it's not fact.

However I suppose the initial sales will be high until the average person realizes what it takes to get the graphics to look as good as the back of the box. Then expect sales to plumed.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm not so much mad about it as I find it a funny thought that they would think that making a game with such high demands would be profitable.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah I've been getting that too, which is why I haven't posted here in a while. But I'm still looking forward to the game, I'm not much of an online gamer anyhow so the multiplayer isn't a concern for me. I'm just excited about the whole weapon customization part.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Which crashes with gaming's most expensive month ever with things like Rock Band, Unreal Tournament 3, Assasin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, Army of Two, Haze Kane & Lynch and Area 51.

Whew, I need to catch my breath now.

Oh, grand total: $580 + tax

@Lukage
It's not a demo, it's a beta. Big difference.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If you're looking forward to TimeShift then I'm afraid you're going to be disapointed once again based on the 360 demo that is. It's a really average game. Blinx did a lot better job with the time stuf then TimeShift. Still worth a play I supose however.

As for the Crysis demo. I can't say much because I haven't played it yet ^^; Still at work I'm afraid. I'll check it out when I get home. Should run fine on high with my hardware so I'm looking forward to it. After I apply the new nVidia BETA driver for the demo and update to the new version of DirectX10 that just came out yesterday.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The game is decent. If you're really into the FarCry games and what have you, this is the same sort of deal, just with a technical beef-up. All the powers and that, straight out of FarCry Instincts. Game design and atmosphere... FarCry. Honestly, if it wern't for the suits, you COULD call this FarCry 2. This just isn't different enough for me.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great technical showpiece. I was running everything on High with a solid framerate, and it looked gorgeous. But it in itself doesn't revolutionize anything for the genre.

As for myself. I think UT3 and Gears of War will be more then enough to keep my attention along with all the other great games coming out in November (i.e. Assasin's Creed & Rock Band) where I can probably hold off this one till it hits the $30 mark. And with PC games, that doesn't take very long.

How ya doing, buddy?
