I have to ask: what were you expecting, champs? crysis only passed the 1 million mark months after its release. Some high-profile games get that in the first few weeks, no? So, what were you expecting? Another technological marvel? Being exclusively catered to as a playerbase? Why? What did you do to deserve to be Crytek's favourite coddled demographic again? Crysis 2 is not Crytek's fault, it's yours.

Its no specific persons fault for anything LOL. Crysis 1 released ahead of its time. Crysis 2 had the opportunity to be like just cause 2 or bad company 2 but they are going with a more candy coat metro 2033 approach. Might turn out well but at the same time, they seemed so far to have cut alot of corners on the Pc side of things but we will see. Whats bad is, the things many people are not to happy of can be easily fixed. People are hoping crytek does the right thing.

I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or took everything I said a little too literal or minsinterpreted it. My point was that if PC gamers expected Crysis 2 to push the envelope as much as the first one did, Crysis should have sold better. Whether it is 'piracy' or not is not really important because the still game didn't sell that well, apparently. It's a bit ridiculous to wear that sense of entitlement and expect Crytek not to shift its business strategy.

People didn't show enough interest as customers to Crysis, and I think this is the result.

i was also expecting them to spend more than a small amount of time implementing features essential for any pc version of a game. there have been so many multiplat games that feature pc options, what makes this game so different?

and what did we do to NOT be at least a slightly favored audience? seeing as we were the initial playerbase for crysis, we are most likely to be the larger money source, yet we get shafted. to say what you said, a bold and absolutely idiotic statement, really makes me think where to draw the line between dumbness and douche baggery. you literally have no idea what you are talking about. please get out.

that's good, I guess, but Crysis 2 was in development since 2007 ( according to wikipedia ). I don't think they had time to wait or count for sales. According to this IGN article, Crysis 1 barely managed to go over 1 million sales months after its initial release. Either way, my first thought is that Crytek was not satisfied with how Crysis performed, thus the shift.

For a game that couldn't run on that gen hardware, they were epecting too much, Maybe if they learnt to code there engine better theyt might've gotten alot more sales? they got 4.5million sales since May 2010, they should be bloody greatful. Also you believe everything you see on Wiki?

This just blows my mind...

Crytek knew exactly how much sales they would get, and how much money to invest in the project...

Nobody is stupid here, this is not their first game, they knew how much PC games sell.In fact Cryiss toped Far Cry in sales, so..

It was profitable, and they expected those numbers.

The problem for Crytek is that they were drooling over the sales Modern Warfare and Halo 3 got, who launched around the same time, and started blaming piracy for everything. CoD and Halo are THE MOST popular shooter franchises, and they are focused on MP, while Crysis was a SP game that's a NEW IP. Do you know how much new IP's sell? Here's some for you, only 1 % of the new IP's launched on consoles this gen topped 1 million. Only one percent.

So, don't give me that, it's my fault, they knew what sales they were getting, and it was extremely proftable for them. Now just abandoning any support for the PC platform, this just screams no respect or gratitude for the people who bought their game.

I told you already, it sold a lot more than Far Cry 2, and nobody is that stupid to think that PC sales will increase tenfold somehow in such a short period.

They knew how much it would sell, yet still they whined about it.

I can find you an interview where Cevat makes hilarious assumptions of how they would sell five times more if they were on consoles... And you already read that where Cevat expectiations are Black Ops numbers..

Crysis was extremely profitable...They only needed about.. 700k-800k sales to reach equilibrium. The rest of the sales were just pure profit.

Ok, now back to reality lets take a look at the extensive list of shooters that sold more than Crysis on PC

Half Life

Doom 3

Half Life 2

(MW2 and Black Ops most probably)

Should they be grateful that it's one of the best selling shooters on the platform while being a new IP? YES..

And about the bad coding..he's right.

Those sales won't just be 'hypothetical'. If Crysis 2 does well with reviews there's no reason not to expect it to sell better, being multiplat, though I do have to wonder how you know that:

1. They knew Crysis will sell 3 million, 3 years after the game releases. 3 years after they've been already working on crysis 2.

2. How you came to the conclusion that Crysis was 'extremely profitable'. It's not just about sales, it's also about how much money you put in your game. On the previous page I linked an article about how Crysis 2 barely pushed the 1 million mark, and that article was in April. That's sales across 1, 2, 3... 5 months, and 1 million copies sold sounds extremely low to someone that doesn't count game sales for a living.

I'm not sure how you know Crytek could predict how their game will perform with 100% accuracy, but before I would give in to the "crytek got lazy/greedy because they aren't putting the PC first anymore" comments, I am reminded by this from Crytek, and how it points to the decisions they made with Crysis 2:

"We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin; a chart leading that is not desirable," Yerli said. "I believe that's the core problem of PC gaming, piracy. To the degree PC gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4 [to] 5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we won't have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore."

As for Crysis 2, it is not going to sell like Crytek thinks it will. This much is obvious from the reception to the demo. I personally can't wait to hear what their excuse is this time when their multiplat game fails to come anywhere near COD sales numbers.

If you're going to ignore my arguments, then there is no use in discussing...

Crysis sold three million ok, not one million but three million.PC sales just work that way, they sell over a long period of time, rather than just stop selling once the marketing ends.

Second,Crysis was not a very expensive game by today's standards, considering they made an engine out of it which they lincenced. It costed 20 million dollars to make. By the budget they would need around 700-800k sales to make those 20 million dollars back. The rest 2+ million sales were pure profit.

And Cevat Yeril is full of it. By his logic Crysis 2 will be sell 15 million on consoles...lets see..

I already gave you the statistics, Crysis is one of the best selling PC shooters ever.

I already gave you the statistics that new IP's generally don't sell that much.

That's how it works...you establish the name on the market and you cater to the fanbase..You don't go chasing sales that only one or two games have achieved, while completely backstabbing the original fans...that's just snidy.

If it doesnt sell 3million in the first month it doesn't count

Considering cevat wants black ops sales or something, yeah :lol:

Might as well say bye bye to crysis 3 sicne Cevat has so high standards. He would be better off with a crysis 1.5 on pc, you know, cryengine 2, jungle more of the same..

So much for Crysis 3 I guess.:P
