You're just hearing about the graphics, which are mighty impressive now. Too bad the graphics can't save the god-awful game.

I haven't seen anyone change their mind about the game after the DX11 patch if that's what you're insinuating.

Most people were complaining about the game not beating the originak crysis in graphics.Now since crytex fixed that complant with the texture pack and DX11 tools for the game not that many people are complaining anymore.

Come on, it's not that bad. Sure, it isn't nearly as good as the original, or Warhead, but it's still good compared to a lot of the trash releasing these days.

Or maybe people moved on? Crysis 2 is not really a relevant game to be discussed months after release. Also...DX11 tools...

People are just suddenly saying that is superb when it comes to graphics that's all. The game is still the same.

Most people here don't like the game, and the hate is completely justified.

Are you saying we should'nt acknowledge it's DX11 graphics? I assumed giving credit where it's due is would be admirable behaviour.

Can't say I've seen anyone change their mind about the game itself.

Also, don't be so hard on your intelligence.

Generic COD clone with an wonderful graphics engine, that's it.

The mp is too much "cloaked" for my taste.

It still isn't (at least to me :P). I didn't even bother with the graphics patch because my issue with Crysis 2 wasn't the graphics (which still looked great with the standard settings).

The attitude towards the game has been the same, ranging from crappy, to disappointing, to moderately good. It is just the graphics that got top of the line.

It was never a terrible game, many people were just annoyed that is was a step back from Crysis. If it wasn't made by Crytek people wouldn't have the high expectations and they'd say that honestly it's a pretty good game.

I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever more. Not trying to say that Crysis 2 is that bad of a game, but DNF is an 8.0 in my eyes and Crysis 2 is about 6-7. I've had just a bit more fun with it than Halo Reach, which was almost no fun.

Hell, I would have been fine if it wasn't a Crysis game. I think if it was a stand alone it would have been received much better and it wouldnt have been compared to C1. I dont even really see how the story translates that well, but that may have been because I was drunk for the majority of the SP.

Well, there's something we can agree on. Halo Reach sucks.

I know you were trying to be funny in your opening post but you aren't very good at it, games will always get attention when they get an update and with the possibility of mods now on the horizon the game can only get better. Besides which this board is all about graphics anyway so the further the DX11 patch distances Crysis 2 from its console counterparts the more it was bound to be mentioned.

Doesn't matter if you were drunk. There is no link apart from one character being copied and pasted. As far as i'm concerned there was no story link at all.

i don't think the game was that bad to begin with, people were just annoyed because it didn't match up to the original.

the dx11 patch did solve some of that, but the gameplay is still crap.

Some PC gamers cried (a lot mind you) about the graphics not being what they expected. Now that the issue is fixed so to speak with the recent patch, there's nothing substantial to cry about. At least, that's one way to look at it.

dommeus

no ur not... I like Crysis 2 far more than Crysis 1...

Crysis 2 is just a better game.... pacing, story, characters, evoking emotion from the player... everyone who liked Crysis 1 more are PC fanboys.

You do realize that gamespots score and most of the scores Crysis received are higher than Crysis 2? Nice job on the generalization .

The consensus among the critics and the fans is that Crysis is better. You're the minority here.

Must make you really special that anyone who disagrees with you are automatically put in some fanboy group though.

As if reviews and popular opinion mean anything. Based on Reviews and popular opinion COD is the best FPS ever created. Crysis 2 is in fact better than Crysis 1 in a large number of ways. All depends on what you like out of your games. For action junkies like myself Crysis 2 is by far the better of the two.

You missed my entire point. What makes a game good or not is based solely on personal opinion. Has nothing to do with anything outside your own self.

Ok, but hes labeling people as fanboys just because they don't share his personal oppionion, as If the MAJORITY who agrees that Crysis is a better game are all biased fanboys who cannot think clearly.

Crysis won a lot of GOTY awards and Shooter of the Year, over Bioshock, Modern Warfare, Halo 3 on Gamespot? You think Crysis 2 has any chance whatsoever to reach that kind of recognition? It's just a well received game, like many others, nothing really stands out about it and it will make no impression on the industry as Crysis did.

I've never actually said that. I like Crysis 2 and there are reasons to like it.

It was never a bad game. The PC fanboys may have hated on it for it for not being a copy and paste of the first Crysis in the same setting and location with no changes to the gameplay at all, but don't listen to them. It was a very good game. It may not be as good as the first game, but it's still extremely enjoyable, it actually runs on hardware this time, and if you have a console you can play it.

The only massive step backwards was the multiplayer where they blatently copied CoD and made it so the multiplayer gets boring really fast.
