IF you drop a grand on a gaming PC. If you didn't...well okay. Good for you. I never said you HAVE to drop a grand for a gaming PC, but imagine if you did. Would you want your games to look the best they can?
[citation][nom]amk-aka-phantom[/nom]We got DX11 pack for Crysis 2, after all. I somehow had exactly the opposite experience with that game: looked great even with DX9, but gameplay... meh. I never finished it, but I will... once. Crysis Warhead > Crysis > Crysis 2 in terms of fun gameplay. Warhead was great...@BF3 fans: I know the game is highly anticipated, but please, can someone explain me what's so special about it? They promised you great graphics, but is that all you'll settle for? Want another Crysis 2? I've played BF2... and dropped out after 30 minutes. Maybe the game gets fun later, I'll finish it once, too, but seriously... so far, it was no different from Call of Duty, just better graphics. What's gonna be so great about BF3, can someone explain? Don't go hating, just explain... did I miss a demo or something that makes it stand out? I really don't get it!Though, just a good FPS with kick-ass graphics can't hurt. P.S. There was ONE great difference between BF2 and CoD... no dumb-ass enemy respawn all the time in BF2![/citation]
Eventually, we did get DX11...after the game was already released. I would have wanted it to come packaged with the game rather than as a patch. I'm not really a die-hard Crysis fan, so I guess that's why I found the game more fun compared to other people. As for BF3, I wonder the same thing. Most of the BF3 fans are either console gamers new to BF and have never seen a game that looked good on consoles besides Crysis 2, PC gamers who over-hype the fact that the game looks good, or people who just want to brag to CoD fans that their game looks good and has destructible environments (I hope they know other games before had that; their were ledges in Halo 2 that you could destroy, so you can count that as "limited" destructible environments). I honestly don't care if the game looks good. If it isn't fun, then I won't play it (I still play games on the PS2 and GameCube that look like crap, but are really fun).
