I have the demo and im not going to buy the game now. It optimizes my pc for Med settings. At that level the graphics look horrible. Halo3 and Gears of war look way batter than med settings on crysis. The sad thing is if I start moving things to high it gets choppy. And I have a pc that should produce better results. I have a DUo2 6300 with 3 gigs, and a Ati X1950 Pro video card. Yeah it's not the best pc for games but it's pretty good, and alot faster than my 360. But honestly Gow, Halo3, and Bioshock all look better on my 360 than this game on my pc, that's sad. Im not buying a Dx 10 card right now because A they are still over priced, and B DX 10.1 cards are on the way. Also my setup the game should look good, yes I understand I wont get all the bendable foliage and stuff w/out a DX10 card, but still this is shameful. It looks almost exactly like FarCry on my old PC which wasn't a third the pc I have now.

that card is considered mid-range thats why you get medium, and medium looks great, I have 2 pcs and my 2nd pc runs on medium and it has a 7900GTX (almost 2x as powerful as your card) and it looks good and no other game can really touch it, especially the character models. btw if u want a better experience, overclock your cpu and get a better videocard.

Quit crying. You have mid level PC and the game auto detects mid level settings big suprise. The only thing that looks like Far Cry in this game is the color and level design, which isn't a bad thing.

You are entirely right... Far cry maxed out looks way way way better than crysis on medium... it's a shame... i'm pretty mad too cause I just finished the demo and I really like the story, but playing an ugly choppy game with my (kind of ) descent computer is really not normal... X2 4200+, 3 gigs of ram, vista, 8800gts 320mb...

I may not buy it and it pisses me off... I bought 2 graphics card for this game, Last year when it was suppose to realease i bought the ati x1900xtx, now that nvidia and still not working well, i'm done with crytek...

Next week I believe you will be able to buy a 8800GT for 250USD. But seriously, dont complain about graphics not looking like the game play videos with that card.

crysis looks quite a bit better and does a lot more stuff than far cry on med settings. Also Crysis looks much better than Bioshock and better than UT3. I can't say for certain how well it looks compared to halo 3 or gears. I wonder how crysis would run at 640p just like halo 3?

Crysis on low looks better than Far Cry maxed. You can compare screenshots if you don't believe me.

ur video card is X1950 pro, thats why, upgrade it to 8800gts or x2900 something.

besides Medium setting is not bad at all, i'd say it look better than Halo 3 :)

I don't know why people have a hard time running this game on high DX9. Take for example my rig.

Pentium D Presler Dual Core 2.8Ghz 800FSB, 2 Gigs of kingston cheap-o ram, 533mhz, 8800GTS OC2, Creative X-fi Extreme Gamer. Running Windows XP 64-bit

I'm running Crysis on high in maximum resolution, and with the exception of one area, my frame rates have been buttery smooth. Not to mention it blows the Xbox 360 out of the water, then again sometimes I think my Old Pentium 2 rig is better than a 360....

Not to go against what your're saying Weeman, but it's actually Crysis = game, Crytek = developer, and CryEngine2 = Engine

You guys are totally missing the point, I have other FPS games on my pc that look way better with my setup. And yes Halo3 looks much better on my 360 than this game does which means the engine sucks because my pc be it med is still more faster than a 360. How can you say it looks good on med when the cliffs and rocks in the game are nothing buy one huge BLURR. Even at high texture quality the rocks and cliffs still look horrible. Yes it does have a large draw distance but the game on a med system (which is what the majority of people have) looks like utter garbage. Most pc gamers dont buy $350 video cards, my X1950 is a good card, not the best but defenitly a good card.

Crysis isn't the best optomised game out there, thats for sure and although in this day an age, a x1950pro is mid range - its not a bad card at all and will play most games at high settings in DX9.

For me, the demo gives me an idea of what the final game will be like - and I wasn't impressed either.

Why do numbers say anything about the quality of the game? there have been many times that products have sold like hotcakes because of hype, only to leave people disappointed. I'm not saying that halo3 was a disappointment. I just didn't think it lived even close to the hype. I made it all the way through the game, but i didn't like the story, and the graphics were not nearly as good as I thought they would be.
