Crysis - Did they sell me the wrong copy?

I bought Crysis from ebay, and noticed that when the installer gets going it asks me to choose a language. The languages listed are English (United Kingdom), Czech Republic's language, Portugese. What the hell?

Have those of you who purchased it in the United States have the same prompt when installing?

edit: How old are you people? No --- UK English is practically identical to American English. What's odd is the selection of languages given, since they are Eurocentric language versus North American languages, which usually just consists of French, Spanish and English -- not Czech and Portugese.

In other words, I was wondering if I had gotten ahold of European copy instead of a NA copy.

Yeah not to worry you'll be fine! The characters just have cockney accents instead, break for tea when the game reaches 3pm and in the cupboards you'll see packets of "crisps" instead of "chips".

:D

it's the same bloody language lol.

Ya guys dont be smartasses lol. After all, this is the gamespot forums, a place of civility and mutual respect.

It sounds like you got the European version. I am curious how you managed to do that in the US. So ya, I'd say they sold you the wrong version.

But dont fret, just remember to download European patches and not US patches.

i dont want to be a jerk but I think he pirated it....

:D

You are all attempting to be clever, but have completely lost the point of my post. Obviously the dubbs and subtitles will be identical. I am simply wondering if I was sent the European version, versus the North American version. rimnet00

The box/manual will tell you where it's from. I have bought a lot of european/UK versions from eBay and haven't had any trouble yet.

Well where did you buy it from? If it was from eBay or something, that would be expected...Termite551

Very first line in his post: "I bought Crysis from ebay."

Anyway, yeah, that sounds plausible. Could just have been someone from Europe who moved to NA and decided to sell their copy of Crysis on Ebay, or maybe someone in NA who bought their copy from a store like Gogamer or something and didn't realize they were getting an imported copy (so they sold it on Ebay to regain their money, making sure to get the NA version next time).

u guys mistaken the entire thread's point.

geez guys...

It's not pirated, as the cd-key that came with it allows me to play online. It did not come with the box, but instead came in a paper cd envelope along with the cdkey. It's not really a big deal, since I can play the game perfectly. However, in case someone is up for helping my curiosity, just pop in the cd and see what it says :P

Before anyone asks, I paid $25 for it. So I can't really complain :)

Someone said download EU patches instead of NA patches? WTF?! PC games doesnt have continental Patches! A Patch is a Patch on pc no mather if you live in US, EU, Asia or Afrika for gods sake!

if you bought an UK version then it should look like this

or if you got the standard then it should look like this.

really? Wow so I guess I can use the European patch of ArmA for version 1.0 on my stock US copy which is version 1.05? Golly thanks.

No, a patch is not a patch. If we are lucky, they only release two types of patches: one for North American version, and one for European version. If we are unlucky, then they have about a dozen different patches for a dozen different versions.

Whoever sold it got it bundled with a graphics card probably as thats how I got my copy, just comes in the sleeve with a cd key.

You're kidding right? You do realize that english in the UK is the same as the US right?

This is a sad sad day for human intelligence...

When the hell did I even suggest that the language was the issue? What's sad is your inability to extapolate the intention of my post. How about reading the thread?

Look at the Crysis CD, if the CD has a 15 BBFC(red circle) rating on the right side of the disc its the UK version. If it doesn't have it, or maybe it has a PEGI rating, its from somewhere else in europe.Snagal123

Thanks dude. I appreciate it.
