i was just wondering what my fellow hermits think about this. does far cry 2 maxed in DX10 mode look better then crysis maxed in DX10 mode. imo i pick far cry 2 and my reasons for it are

1. sharper and more bumpy ground textures

2. Better and more fluid soft bodies for vegetation

3. cleaner looking edges on rocks

4.cleaner looking grass

5. how fire spreeds around and how its dictated by virtual wind

6. and the fact that its an open world opposed to levels.

anyways i know most will say crysis but i was just woundering what you guys think.

Yeah but Africa is more colorful that that. Far Cry 2 has the stale kind of brown. And no I'm not talking about sh*t.

Wrong. The game wasn't even running on console hardware until late last year.

You are not a fan of spelling either To be honest the word hermit caught my attention not so often we get called on for opinions. I bet that 90% of the people are voting on crysis based on what they hear though. Only 10% of us have a computer that can actually pull off 50+ average fps for crysis. How are we judging graphics? By engine and shear power id say Crysis, but what looks nicer? with shading and textures id say Far cry.

Maybe you should turn the texture quality to very high. then you'll see how good the character models actually look. the texture work on their faces are absolutly incredible and some of the best ive ever seen. crysis does have the edge tho when it comes to character models. their facial textures and animations rival final fantasy the movie.

Crysis looks better, but Far Cry 2 has generally ran better. Then again, the gameplay of Far Cry 2 leaves a lot to be desired.

IMO both games look amazing. Far Cry 2 does a great job of rendering a beautiful African landscape, but Warhead has the edge in graphics overall.

Sometimes the game felt like a console port: you had to hold in the aim key but you didn't have to hold in the crouch key. And there were save points spread around while you could just press esc and could save.

cause its true!!! consoles are responsable for noobing down/consolizing so many classic games. but it doesn't bother me too much knowing that consoles are a dying breed. pc gaming is growing so rapidly at this point its hard to see consoles ever catching up. the PC gaming user base is even growing many times faster then the wii user base. with high end video cards for less the 150$ it just makes more sense to play on your pc. more economical as well.

So, PC games are being "consolised" (or noobed down according to you) because consoles are a dying breed? You should rethink that.

Far Cry 2 looks more like clay. Especially the character models. It's also not as densely populated with vegetation in a lot of areas.

Some of the gameplay elements are clearly taken from a console standpoint. I wouldn't put the graphics there though, they were built ground-up for the PC and ended up looking above average. The game looked alright, but Warhead and the original Crysis look better.

Far Cry 2 looks great, but its a little too plasticy for my liking. Crysis Warhead looks more realistc.
