I guess there is one simple thing in the demo which perfectly sums up the PC-Version of the Game:

"Press Start to Begin"

Good night.

I don't see your point at all. Especially considering that the menus and gameplay feel just fine.

After getting it to install it just hangs on "Creating an account" and has no sound for me...Using G35 Logitech headset. Any ideas?

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I honestly don't understand why games like that don't support SLI, it's just getting out of hands IMO. I'm hoping the full game does, hell, even the original does.

I'm not super hardcore about how I play my PC games.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] I hope so. If the full game doesn't support sli then I'll end up buying a GTX 580. Based on Crysis 2 and games that have been released already, i don't see the point of sli any more. I thought I was making an "upgrade" when I went dual gpu. Not so much as I thought. Maybe one day when it's implemented in 90% of games, but I'm not going to hold my breath.Elann2008

Odd that he manages to get over 100FPS.

And what's with the stuttering mouse controls? Apparently some people have it and some people don't. Anybody know of a fix?

You already played the leak didn't you?

I don't think you can get 150 fps at 1080p with two 460's in bc2. I only got 100-180 FPS in bc2, with my current setup. But i would think you wouldn't have any issue with getting 60 fps on bc2.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Which doesn't make sense seeing how many games in the past supported it well, BC2 being a great example as some guy got up to 150FPS with 2 460s. What other games don't scale well with SLI?

Are you really okay with all of the graphics being tied to a single setting? Even in a promotional demo, it's extremely annoying. They act as if fans of their games aren't graphics enthusiasts or something. Are they even acknowledging us as an audience?

My complains are as follows:

"Press start to continue" - PC's don;t have start buttons. I guess we'll just sit at that screen forever waiting... -.-

CoD Clone - No one is going to disagree with this and it's self explainatory.

Blurryness - the textures, or depth of field blur or something make the game look quite low res. Playing on 1680x1050 it does indeed feel like it's 1024x768 or something. Even if I am exaggerating there, it's not by much as it doesn't look crisp and clear like it should.

Too much bloody effects - If I'm not being blinded by blood splatter or water, electricity or that hexagonal Nanosuit overlay thing I'm being blinded by too much bloom, everything has this extreme glow to it, and god forbid you round a corner that leads outside. Just white light or sunlight will blind you and if there's an enemy it's lights out.

When I cloak and fire my weapon there's all this special effects going on and I lose sight of my enemy for a moment - that's long enough to lose an encounter.

The chat box - if I miss what someone says it's gone forever, whenever I hit [Y] (All chat) it starts off with "y" already in the chat box. Hitting left or right to move the cursor means pressing it for each character you can't hold it down; messages appear several seconds after hitting enter, this leads to my last point

Teamwork - there's almost none; you can't communicate with team mates in game via voice commands and even if you manage to type out a message you either a) die typing it b) spend forever fixing up any typos or c) get the message sent about 5 seconds too late because it takes forever for the message to show up

Very bad form there from Crytek. Even if it was all just bad design (horrible menu system as well) there's still the fact that some of does feel way too consolised.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] Hmm interesting. I have a hard time holding 60fps in BC2. Perhaps, the latest drivers screwed things up? I don't know. :/mitu123

Its just lazyness, sli is becoming more and more popuar. Yet why doesn't every game ship with it. But what do you expect from a demo that only dx9.

Once I restarted the game much of the blurriness was gone. Not sure why.

Before it looked like GTA IV with blur AA on, now it looks ok. Not great, but ok. Still a bit fuzzy.

Runs better than Black Ops lol. Seems to be quite well optimized.

[QUOTE="Gamesterpheonix"]Can someone please tell me why I cant log in or anything and play?mitu123

Ok, I gotta say this:

1.- Ok, so the main menu says "Press Start". BIG DEAL, press enter and enjoy.

2.- Yes, there aren't many options (Specially in terms of graphics), but consider this: it's a demo. The same thing happened with the Dragon Age II demo which had a broken DX11 option yet people seem to forget that usually demos are old builds.

3.- Crysis 2 motion blur and fairly high bloom effects are too high and annoying yet the motion blur and high ammounts of bloom of ArmA II and Crysis are OK?

4.- Don't forget that the MP is an extra, Crysis and FarCry were SP focused games, this one is also focused on the SP, so don't try to compare the MP gameplay to the SP gameplay, trust me, it can change a lot (For example, the SP allows you to choose ALL the powers individually instead of being restricted to defense, power and stealth).

5.- For the SLI scaling problems you should probably wait 'til Nvidia releases the Crysis 2 SLI profile (Probably tomorrow).

It's the fact that they didn't develop that part with PC players in mind, it screams mindless console port which is bad for us.

It's tough to say "That's okay" if you haven't played it (I haven't and i certainly wouldn't say it's okay at all).

Multiplayer is a huge focus for Crysis 2, so much so that they have a seperate division of thier company working on it - the guys who worked on Haze, Time Splitters, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. We're not talking about a few weeks of extra work, we're talking about people who contributed to at least 2 of the best multiplayer games in existance and all they could come up with was a CoD clone?And I don't even say CoD clone to make a point! if they caled it Call of Duty 2023 it could be released as a seperate product, that's how similar it is.

5.- For the SLI scaling problems you should probably wait 'til Nvidia releases the Crysis 2 SLI profile (Probably tomorrow).

Sorry if someone already mentioned...but Im able to look passed the "push start button" etc....but I just saw in game options that "Aim Assist" is default "on"......now THAT is almost crossing the border for me. Havent actually played yet, just messing in options before starting...but that kinda hurt to see.

Oh, addition, someone mentioned earlier you cant talk to teammates, you can, they have an in-game voip, but gotta turn it on. Alt is the button to push to talk.

Thats called balance...even I figured that out when I first cloaked and shot my gun. The game is suppose to flashbang your screen if you shoot while cloaked.

I've been trying to create an account though the game but since i had a previous one I thought that would work, But all it does is hang on the "Creating account" screen. I guess I'll just leave it on the screen and minimize it as it tries to make the account.

It's tough to say "That's okay" if you haven't played it (I haven't and i certainly wouldn't say it's okay at all).

I did play all those games, check my backlog. I only played the Arma II and OA demo's though.
