[QUOTE="codezer0"][QUOTE="lettuceman44"]Because other than the potential for beautiful graphics, the game doesn't have anything over what many existing FPS's already had. Take for example the physics setting in Crysis. Why is it that it is so bass ackward? A lot of the things that people rave on about Crysis for and what Crytek use as a selling point, can only be seen or done when you have a machine powerful enough to run this setting on High/Very High. Take for example, being able to "cut down trees with bullets." Soon as you try Medium for playability, you lose this ability, and the game starts to fall apart. This can already become a problem because you may see that your trees are still standing upright, but they may have been in a state where they'd been cut down. And apparently your A.I. enemies will still think that the trees are cut, and you stick out like a sore thumb, and thus they pelt your ass in bullets and grenades. Or play multiplayer like that. All the people lucky enough to have their game running with physics on High/Very High will be able to use this tactic to make those unable to run the game the same stick out like a sore thumb and basically light them up before the poorer gamers have a chance to even see who (or what) is hitting them. This kind of stupid move clearly screws the gameplay and just makes it look and feel like Crytek just went and took a **** on your face after sodomizing you with its hardware requirements.How the heck did Crysis hate get into this thread?
How can you call Crysis a average game when compared to every other shooter out there. It is a refreshing experience.

This is where you fail my friend. This is where your argument falls flat onto its face.
Clearly you've never played Crysis MP - Gamers that are unable to run Very High/DX10 are restricted to DX9 servers, where trees are not destructible. This effectively eliminates the "tree cutting" advantage of higher-end gamers. There's also DX10 servers where trees are destructible.
I'm sorry.
But that doesnt discard the fact that Crysis is porly optimized game.
