[citation][nom]Playing not whining[/nom]I thoroughly enjoyed Crysis 2. I played through Crysis and Warhead, and was looking forward to Crysis 2 - I was not disappointed.I find it sad how many people find it necessary to run down a new game, especially people who haven't played it.[/citation]
I played it and it stinks. thankfully i played it on somebody else's PC and saved myself some $$
It's not all about the graphics, the physics and the gameplay. granted, the graphics are worse if not the same than the original. the physics clearly aren't as good as they were. The storyline and gameplay are both very linear. It's about buying a quality product that improves upon the first. I'm not going to buy a new FIFA if the database is from 2007 and they've taken away both options and the fun factor of the current game. It's ass-backwards. Crysis 2 was a step in the opposite direction for a majority of it's core fan base in an attempt to pander to a wider audience and save themselves some money, while *hopefully* making more money.
Battlefield 3 is starting with dx11 and if they release a console version it'll be a port down from dx11 > dx9. If you want to have good gameplay and graphics built for your PC don't buy shitty console ports in the beginning. Personally, I don't like being treated as the ugly read-headed stepchild.
