Do you think we will get a game like Crysis 2007 on PC again? And by that I mean a game that pushes the boundaries of what is possible, Crysis was graphics king for many years and it is still widely used for benchmarking after all this time.
Discuss.
No, it never was a graphics king.
Crysis ended up getting this huge PC following touting it as the most powerful PC game ever. They used it as a banner to shoot their fanboyisms allover the place shouting "Its so powerful it brings my massive PC to its knees. Weep pathetic non PC gamers at how awesomely powerful it is!!!!!" and the game became synonymous as being a graphics king hog because it bogged down computers.
But the reality of the matter is.....it wasn't graphics king or powerful at all. It simply earned the title of being graphics king because it was a graphics card hog. The problem with it being a PC destroyer was that it was poorly coded, and not optimized at all. It ran like shit because it was shit, not because it was a graphics hog. When the 2nd patch launched for it performance was improved by like 30%, if the game was so powerful how the hell did it get such a huge performance bump out of a single patch? And then later its performance was increased another oh......75% by a fan made .ini file proving the game was just not optimized at all by crytek.
At the end of the day who cares? It looked pretty.........ok how exactly does that make it this legendarily awesome game? It was still just a shooter. A generic military style shooter at that. Unreal 1 had more exciting graphics because it was unique and had its own identity in terms of graphics while crysis was a jungle with military guys in military vehicles, and robot aliens......yawn.
Not to mention, how damn sad is it that PC fanboys still have to stroke this game in order to get a boner?
