Crysis is always brought up by consolites! Hermits discuss EmpireTW, StalkerCS!

OK guys, this thread is mainly in responce to all the threads that have popped up by a few consolites that say all us hermits go on about is Crysis. To set the record straight (and I'm sure the community in general will agree with me here) and that is it's consolites always bringing up Crysis! Seriously you guys seem obsessed with trying to bring this game down!

It's always: "X-game surpasses Crysis' graphics"

Here are some interesting points:

1. We simply respond and we respond in the most simple way. We post screenshots! We're confident enough to let the actual game do all the talking when it comes to graphics.
2. We have many other games such as Stalker Clear Sky and Empire Total War that exceed the best graphics consoles have to offer and we could quite happily use screenshots from those games running in much higher HD than your standard console shooter, with tons more AA, AF etc. We respond with Crysis screenshots because that's the game you guys are always comparing to. Now doesn't that make sense? WE respond with screenshots to the game you guys are talking about.
3. Its so frustrating also that half of you guys dont even read the threads, you read the OP then jump down and comment ignoring all the posts in between that counter and points raised lol.
4. When we do bring out the 'screen shots' and you guys are proven wrong you tend to do 2 things. You'll go into denial or you'll start resorting to every other damage control trick in the book. These are:

• Crysis has nice graphics but poor gamelplay (even though its gameplay is unlike most shooters and is widely praised across all review sites as a AAA!)
• It takes a $2000 rig to run Crysis at very high
• PC gaming sucks, you 'have' to upgrade every 6 months (I love this one, its so retarded :lol: )
• Sitting on a couch is better, controller is better etc etc

Basically, once you've lost the graphics debate you'll find any other possible reason to knock pc gaming. Then us hermits will counter every single point made. That's the point which you guys call us elitist snobs lol. We seriously can't win. You guys start the topics on Crysis the tell us we always go on about Crysis when we try and defend it? Maybe we should just shut up and humour you? We should just accept Crysis has medicre graphics and poor gameplay?

Now, I would like to mention at this point that not all console fans are like this. Not all console fans are like this. Some prefer console gaming. I myself have a 360 and Wii which I both enjoy. Some console fans are indeed on my friends list. So in that respect, I would like to aim this at all the ignorant console fanboys out there lol.

OK, so to finish off and to try and prevent this from ending up as some pointless rant :P I would like to suggest to all hermits to post screenshots of any imressive game on PC other than Crysis. We're fed up with you guys thinking we have nothing else other than Crysis so, I would like to invite fellow pc gamers to post screenshots of games other than Crysis. Lets call an amnesty on Crysis and show you guys what else PC gaming has to offer!

I have always loved the artstyle in the stalker games, reminds me of half life 2 which still looks great by todays standards.

Anyway, system wars is designed so that cows or lemmings can win, no one else. In regards to sales "bu..bu..but the wii is too different so it doesnt count". In regards to graphics/games/online "bu..bu..but the PC costs £10million to build and no one likes PC gaming, this is only a console discussion so it doesnt count!".

I think that both cows and lemmings just need to realise that whichever way its looked at, they will always end up in the middle or last.

Or how about we don't just post screenshots, for once?

Played the Revolution demo once upon a time and found I had been missing out. Remedied by not buying it but instead ordering this thing. Apparently it's supposed to be pretty good.

Got this game recently. Apparently it's pretty good. I can sort of tell between my glitchy PC's random crashes.

Speaking of great games that constantly crash on me... This one is easier to stick with though as it's not as bewilderingly large. Really engrossing game, you could say it sticks its fangs deep inside you and doesn't let go. At one point though, 25 hours in...it decided to start instacrashing on load. That bloody sucked.

Awesome in an (awesome) box. If you don't already own the PC version you must be some form of idiot. I think there's still that deal going on at Steam, so go check that out. The reason why the PC version is so much better, beyond looking and playing much better, is this thing where you can modify the game. You yourself can relatively simply edit the bullet-time and bullet-time music. And recently the semi-official mod called Mona The Assassin was released.

Lol hermits are finally going to talk about other games now are they? Has Crysis lost it's boasting value?

Ding ding lol

Here everyone, this is what I was talking about. Consolite doesnt read the whole message, jumps in and says something uninformed!

.

Dahaka, did you not notice that all these threads about Crysis are created mostly by console fanboys trying to compare the latest game to Crysis. You failed to read that you're precisely the type of forum poster that I was talking about :lol:

don't forget this :

Good post indeed.Hit the nail on the head.

I just got Empire Total War and its awesome!

I think the thing that annoys me about Crysis screenshot threads is this: I've played Crysis and Warhead. I've tried DX9 High, I've tried DX10 Very High (too slow, even on 2 8800 GTs), I've tried the x64 version. At NO point did it look like most of the screenshots I see in these threads. The few screens I've seen where it did look like what I played, usually someone posts "those are terrible screens" and proceeds to tack on a barrage of bullshots of their own.lowe0

Guess what.ToD Mods make a huge difference.

That mod gets the same exact framerate as regular Crysis yet looks 100 times better. Natural Mod 2.0 as well...

Most of the screenshots posted are from user levels or user made ToD mods.

Actually, I don't think it is console gamers who enter threads and say "Crysis says hello"... Something I have seen so many times I've lost count.Shafftehr

"Hermit code of conduct?" You've got to be kidding me.

[QUOTE="DAZZER7"Sitting on a couch is better, colosion

But I sit on the same couch with my pc as I do my consoles :P

I find it funny that a game that game out in 2007 can still beat the best that consoles offer.

Hermits always talk about different games... It's just Lemmings and Cows have brought up Crysis so much that it's convenient. Trust me, there is still a whole catalogue of games that walks all over consoles

Huh? I run at Very High DX10, 19x12 and it looks fantastic. However there are mods out there that will make it look just that much better

I think Global Agenda looks pretty ****ing sweet, and this is an MMO.

It's also the very best pc games has to show (in term of graphics), it remained the graphics king for too long that I think the graphics technology development is slowing down.

... Crysis does not have poor gameplay.. I find this hilarious that we have people claim Killzone 2 or Halo 3 has amazing gameplay.. But sense Crysis came out, it some how has poor gameplay.. Seriously give me a break, every critic has agreed and the majority of pc gmaers that actually PLAYED IT.. And not people who pretended to play it or played it only for 5 mins, all agree that its a solid game graphics aside.sSubZerOo

Mostly agreed, solid gameplay, if not fairly generic... Open-world is fantastic though

My only criticism of Crysis is the limited number of weapons, but its anything but generic, its actually one of the more unique shooters out there!
