Crysis 2 - Narrowed Down / Main Powers Down from "5" to 2

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="tagyhag"]

Nice sarcasm detector. >_>

It's like having 2 children, one with a 9:00 PM curfew (Child A), and another with a 11:00 PM curfew (Child B).

If their mother suddenly made both their curfews to be 9:30, surely Child A would be happy, but Child B would complain, wouldn't you?

Ok, so if people stop complaining about DAII and BF3, PC gaming will...not be dying?

There was so much hate and complaints towards the PC version of MW2.

It was on the No.1 spot on steam top sellers for the entire year.

It's funny to blame consoles and all, but it the deveoplers' fault. Nobody forced them to do it, they did it to themselves.

I played it on the 360 during the beta and I didn't think that there was anything in Crysis 1 I couldn't do in Crysis 2. Just had to do it in a different way. Infact it was easier to tie stuff together and really get the most out of the suit.

I guess all of the PC fanboys whining "consolization" should actually shut it and play the game before making those claims.

Apparently logic and reasoning don't work at all.

You know who is truly killing PC gaming? The PC gamers thinking that every game to come to the platform needs to be 10x more robust and featured filled than the console counterparts AND be cheaper.

Why shouldn't PC gamers expect the game to be tailored to their platform when console games get games tailored to theirs?

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] But how is anyone complaining about something on forums, killing PC gaming? How is that possible? GeneralShowzer

The devs want money. They want to spread the game to as many platforms as possible. These platforms have limitations so they have to take that in mind when they design the game. Is not dev's fault that 360 lacks the power they would want to.

What does it have to do with consoles? There are plenty of vast open world games, with multiple powers on consoles. biggest_loser

Consoles may be capable (just barely) of running Oblivion for example, consolers however (according to devs) may not.

How else do you explain the dumbing down of gaming? Devs obviously think the market for consolers is "simple, quick, AWESOME" (DA2 lol)

The thing is, WoW wasn't dumbed down, things were just made more convenient and alot of grinding was removed, normal mode dungeons were easy yes but heroic was pretty difficult and most if not all casuals could not beat heroic lich king even with the buff, playing your class effectively however remained fairly the same for most classes (difficulty wise).....infact Cataclysm probably rivals burning crusade in difficulty.

I suppose it could be worse...they could've made it CoD. :lol:

I already lost interest in Crysis 2 thanks to the setting.

And the article has been taken down. Strange...AAllxxjjnn

they took away 2 player options, speed and armor, and said its part of the suit? AKA consolized. Consoles killed another game. RIP Crysis

I like how on crysis you were able to switch between any mode you wanted for that right time of game play. Now its Easy mode with only 2 options :lol:

I think they should have buffed armor mode - only gave you about two extra seconds of survival in a straight-out gunfight. However, it seems like they're going to try and make the controls more intuitive - which was the main reason why I didn't use speed that much in Crysis except for getting from one area to another. That half-second delay in changing the mode was the difference between success and failure in some cases.

That said, if you think that Max Speed inherently means Max Strength, you're totally wrong. The muscle groups which control the ability to exert force from the ARMS =/= the muscle groups which control the ability to propel the body with the LEGS. Trying to route power to all of the muscles at the same time would probably burn out your suit. What they should have done was - as I said above - bind the Max Speed function to an easily accessible key.

I hope there's a true Crysis mode in the there. :(

I guess we'll see.

I guess consoles are so weak they can't handle more than 3 suit abilities. Give me a break. You PC elitists are a piece of work sometime.

Well I didn't play Crysis a whole lot as my PC was acting up. But I don't know if I'll mind the changes they've made to the way your suit powers are accessed. The interface for that was a bit clunky. As I understand it all powers are still there. Not sure combining speed and power is such a bad thing. You'll still have to activate speed by pressing the sprint key. As I see it what it does is make it easier to transition into other things such as a power jump. Transferring the speed momentum into a power jump was tricky in Crysis. I don't see the benefit of holding onto that interface.

I'm more worried about the restrictions the setting/consoles might impose. I think there's plenty of room for them to make up interesting level design. It's just that it'll most likely feel more condensed and less open in its approach. More straight and narrow. Still, I think it'll be a good game.

So...Crysis 2 no longer has customisable weapons?
