If it flops hard on PC they'll only have themselves to blame. They should have taken a page from console gaming in terms of multiplayer - notably make it accessable and make it fun - but that's where they should have stopped. Singleplayer should have been more or less what we saw in Crysis 1, but with more narrative and more use of the environment (i.e. making different areas more unique).

It's gonna flop on consoles too.. What the **** does the name Crysis mean on consoles? Games don't automatically sell millions on consoles the minute they touch them. Bulletstorm for example is going to struggle to get past a million in it's lifetime...Have you played it? It's an amazing shooter, 85 at metacritic, some of the coolest moves I've seen.Killzone 3 sold even worse than Bulletstorm.
Crysis 2 looks bad on 360 and even worse on the PS3 and the controls are slugish.
Exactly. As I said before, this is not a franchise console gamers know or care about. This is Deus Ex Invisible War all over again. The game will sell poorly on the consoles as console gamers won't give a crap about it, and they'll alienate PC gamers by making it so dumbed-down and consolized. In the end no one will be happy, and the game will flop hard.
I'm calling it now. Crysis 2 is going to flop hard. Crytek seems to have focused all of their efforts on the consoles, but console gamers never played the first game and don't give a crap about this franchise. It's going to be Deus Ex 2 or FEAR 2 all over again.
Probably the seventh grade science teacher who shot himself before he was supposed to plead guilty to molesting a 14 year old boy. He always seemed wierd. I thought he was just eccentric. But in retrospect it all seems pretty creepy.
You're fine for awhile. Keep in mind that most games are multiplatform games designed with the consoles in mind, and you're way ahead of the consoles. I've contemplated doing a major upgrade myself, but I think I'm going to hold off until the next generation of consoles is released, which could be another two or three years.

By then you could be quite a bit behind in the CPU department
I'll upgrade my CPU when something other than BFBC2 utilizes a quad core. I'm not upgrading for one game, just like I don't buy consoles for one game. I waited a long time to upgrade to a dual core too. I didn't get one until 2007.

No. Your money would be better spent on a reciever. Even the cheapest A/V recievers sound better than the best sound cards. Get a reciever and run optical out to it from your motherboard. That's what I do.
