Those who like Crysis are PC Fanboys!

So... for the past three days I have defended Crysis. I believe it is not only knocking out any other game in the graphical department, but I also think it up's the anty in FPS gameplay through the added complexity it brings to us. This is one the first games that really makes me feel like this unstoppable one man army. Sure, games have attempted to do that in the past, but did so in a trivial way. This game however, makes it all... just make sense, if you will. As if this character I am playing, could have in fact been real. This of course is all due to the realism the game delievers in all areas; atmosphere, sound, physics, and interaction with the world.

Now, with this in mind. I have found it rather hilarious that when I defend this game from comments based on assumption, or sheer uneducated bantering, I am called a PC fanboy. Why? Because clearly, only a PC fanboy could comment positively on a game for the PC.

Odd. Seeing as I have been gaming on the PC and Consoles for the past 10+ years. Odd. Seeing as I in fact do own a 1080p HD tv for my console games, and can in fact see the game 'as it was meant' to be played, and can hence make experianced comments when comparing it to the PC. Versus the many in these other threads, considering their age, are more then likely to have their console hooked up to a SD tv. Technically folks, you aren't playing the game 'as it was meant to be played' - but don't worry, I imagine you will still be sticking around making baseless comments.

Of course, for those of you who have made legitamite concerns regarding the game. This is not directed to you, as I hope we can all admit, the game is not perfect and has it's flaws. Flaws larger and smaller, depending on the user.

With that said, I bring you... my setup (forgive the bad wire management, photos taken 2 months ago):

I will steal all your **** and it will be belong to us. Thats right.

funny, that seems to be the negative connotation connected with anyone who likes halo by hermits :roll:

"you like halo? you must be a halo fanboy and have never played real shooters on the pc"

Give me a break.

I couldn't be in that setup. I'm a neat freak and that mess you have with the wires would annoy me. I would probably start organizing everything for you.

actually its the other way round. anyone who doesn't like halo is either a cow/arrogant hermit or never played the game according to the lemmings

Come over and do it please :P I've been meaning to do it for a while, but everytime I keep putting it off. BTW, go Sox :)

Uhh JPOBS, you're wrong. Not all PC fanboys "hate" halo, we just recognize its not the second coming.Vandalvideo

Justgot off the demo Crytek can go to hell. The games performance is ****. Crysis crap, Halo 3 crap, UT3 crap, CoD4 crap, Bioshock ....... CRAP. Last decent FPS i played was S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the genre is dead people!tramp

3 of those games havn't come out yet...:?

Am I a hermit? Oh teh noes :cry:

I love Crysis though :D

I dunno I played the demo too.. I wasn't impressed either. Sure the suit adds some varied gameplay... but I dunno gets boring after a while.

quite the opposite for me....everytime I play....I can do something completly differently.

Aww....I was really hoping the Hermits would've gave a retort to my comment implying Hermits are graphics whores. Maybe there isn't anything special about Crysis besides the look of the game. You dissapoint me, Hermits. majadamus

starcraft 2, its going to be away more hyped then crysis, and the graphics arent anywhere near being great

I like crysis and i don't even have a pc to run the game. Hopefully it does live up to the hype.

Happened to me to: Though ive been called a Cow and a Hermit many times.
(Mostley when I critised Halo 3s singleplayer and visuals, and being underwhelming)

Nice setup I must say.
I envy you in both console and PC regards.
