I far prefer singleplayer games. I don't really like other people very much. Especially not whiny-voiced pubescent Americans, who seem to account for 75% of all online communities on the planet. When playing online with friends, I usually enjoy myself a lot, but I just can not play with people I don't know.

The only exception to that rule is, for some reason, Team Fortress 2. I don't know why, but it's also part of what makes me love the game.

I usually get a lot more out of single player games, and all of my favourite games, except TF2, are single player games.

The feeling is the same about snotty UK players

[QUOTE="ElArab"]It's amazing how even though this games a huge system hog. People don't realize how well optimized it is, I mean c'mon, I've seen people run the thing with a 6800.wackys

Crysis and far cry is the same.

When far cry was released ppl had problems running it because o the system specs. Far cry still sels today.

Crysis would do the same. I think Crytec knew this would happen but also know that they created a masterful game way ahead of the rest and its time.

Okay so here's the problem:

Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and World of Conflict. 3 CRAZY games for the computer. But which to get?

I'm having trouble choosing which one. All of them look great, but I'm looking to have cash left over for these ALL-Time clasics: Grim Fandango, Monkey Island 3 & 4, and maybe worms Armageddon & World Party. (By the way, I HIGHLY recommend the ALL-TIME clasics.

So what do all you gamers think?

I think you must check your system specs. What is it?

Crysis rocks, but the gameplay might be a problem

aggree on the save thing.

a thing that really gets to me is when you install a game and it runs really bad. Like 10 fps or so. This makes is impossible te play. The games should have a autodetect that allows the game to tell you the fps on load up and possible upgrade to improve the performance.

i was being very serious.

To the guys that have been playing games for a decade or more, what did you do when you got stuck in hexen or blood or blood 2 or the first legasy of kain. U tried over and over untill you get it right. The kids nowadays dont want to think for themselves anymore. Walktrough for this, cheats for that, why do you think they would call a program PUNKBUSTER. Cheeters and walktrough b&tches are the same thing.

Out of all the games released this year i haven't had to upgrade from my 7900GS to be able to play them all on max settings with 1280x1024 resolution. Crysis is the only game that will force me to upgrade so i can play it on high settings at a decent resolution. However i just dont think Crysis is good enough to make me want to spend the price of purchase and £300+ on an 8800 series card purely for it alone. Especially at this time of year when money is usually tight as your spending on gifts for others aswell as buying games for yourself.

Other than Crysis's poor optimisation i think its only other drawback is the timing of its release, it couldn't of come at a worse time of year for people in terms of finance. Over the past few months people will already have spent lots on the many releases we've had, then there is christmas shopping and the costs of the festive season. Really after all that who has cash left over to pay for the game and a £300+ 8800 series card????

Had this game been released in the summer of 2007 i think it would have a lot more people buying and playing it as this years summer wasn't too great for game releases. I would have gladly bought Crysis had it been released then as i was bored out of my skull and had money to spare, although i have money to spare now come to think of it.

the big hoohaa about crysis system specs was to get ppl to buy new pcs.It money making at its best. If you can play every other game on high, why change a good working system that can play crysisin medium or high. A mate of mine spent a small fortune and cant even run crysis on very high with an 8800 ultra. Its runs, but it sure aint smooth. Why do pc gamers need to show off all the time. the system does not make you a better gamer.

[QUOTE="Realmjumper"]I'm still playing it. Not everyone has a system capable of handling Crysis, that's why ;)blackace007

is that a bad thing, multiplayer sucks if you dont have anyone to play with.

And aren't all computers bought in the last two years suspose to be able to run it so if they can run CoD4 they can run crysis at least on low.

About the system thing. The test showed that I could not run the game. I have a agp setup and rub the game on medium with now problems. I have nice components in my system and have prooven alot of ppl wrong about agp setups. So to the guys running "low end systems" give it a go. I waiting for 2 gig unbuffered low latency memory and i'll run it in high.

By the By, the game really, I mean REALLY rocks, and its my game of the year.
