halo got a 9.5,if you think that crysis will get anywhere near a 9.5 then you are dreaming.crysis will be lucky to get a 7 out of ten.halo looks great on every system and crysis wont be able to run or even look good on most people systems.last i heard most people that played the demo got bored.macksumum

Scores mean nothing to a true gamer that know what he or she likes. And there is no demo yet, its a Beta, HUGE difference.

Crysis is overblown and entirely talked too much about.. There have been many problems with the game supposedly, in the end I say wait before it comes out.. Its just another FPS with cutting edge graphics, till the game is released and we actually get our hands on that game its no more and no less that.. It annoys me how many other great games that are coming out that are seldom talked about due to games like crysis.. OMGZ its got awesome graphics! Thats all I hear about this bloody game..sSubZerOo

clearly a console kiddy.

Research a game before you spend $50 on it?

Seriously... buyer beware. Welcome to the REAL WORLD.

You're travelling to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound... but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are only that of the imagination... you're entering... the Twilight Zone

classic! :lol:

[QUOTE="fm_coyote"](2) I say this, because IDONT care... 50$ is nothingin reality, you piss that away when you go out to the movies and dinner with your gf for christ sake, even more then 50$..I can buy 10 games a week and have 5 be flops, and the reality is, I dont care... thats a personal thing.. you dont have to comment on that, I used that as an example, just because you're upset you wasted 50$, doesnt mean others have to agree with you.Jack_Summersby

lol- you can spend $550 (10 * $50 + tax) a WEEK on PC games and NOT care? That's $28,600 a YEAR.There is NO WAY that's true - you're just inflating the numbers to make your argument more impressive, but it's still weak.

But your comment does not address the core issues.

You have bought flops, you'll buy them again - that sucks, you just won't admit it because it weakens your argument.

You have repeatedly insisted that I pipe down because you disagree with me - that's oppressive behavior.

I can totally understand people who disagree with me on this issue, what I don't understand is why you not ONLY disagree with me, but INSIST that I STFU. THAT is what I would like you to explain.

You don't have to read this thread, you don't have to support my position, and you can post here and disagree with me. But your bullying tactics are tried and wanting - I will not stop posting because Coyote is against - whatever it is I am doing that he is against.

that was CLEARLY a nice even round number to make a point, an exaggeration.

Before you run your mouth off, lets get things straight. I have bought flops, I never once said other wise, and I admit I will buy them again, games flop, I just dont care. Im NOT insisting you pipe down because i dont agree, im insisting because you're saying the same to people that disagree. I could care less if you continue to rant or not. Im not telling you to stop, im not telling you to do anything, so relax. Im NOT against you, Im against you telling poeple to voice their opinion, then bashing them over it. I dont know WHO you think is bullying you, but it clearly isnt me. Im just stating my opinion. Nice try though, making the attempt to make me look like a bad guy, it was quite funny. Bottom line, just because you're upset you wasted 50$, and I could give a rats a** about my 50$, does not make me a bully.

[QUOTE="fm_coyote"]Hell, let me take a stab at that.

you're complaining about something that will never be fixed, because you cant fight big developers, little guys don't win. You say things like "I'm going to take my 50$ elsewhere" and when people say "go ahead" you reply with "No" well if you're not going to carry through with something you say, DON'T say it, simple as that. You're getting responses left and right about how you're complaining over nothing, and you just brush it off and keep going. The bottom line is, you're not happy, and people don't care. I'm happy with the game, so I don't care if someone is unhappy with their copy, cause if its not buggy for me, its not the code, or-else it would be buggy for EVERY SINGLE COPY. SO... bottom line, no one cares what you do with yourmoney, buy the expansion or not, it wont hurt or change anyone else's feelings on this board, cause people will buy whatever they please. I bought the game.. I played it for maybe all of 3 hours.. the fact is, I don't like it for some reasons and I do for others. The bottom line is it didn't live it to its hype for me, and now its on my shelf collecting dust, do you see me complaining about my 50$? no... because i really could care less about 50$.. there's been plenty of duds throughout the years from plenty of developers, and then their next game could possibly be golden..

All of what you said is irrelevant because (1)SOME people do support my actions - most importantly, ME.

But you're right - there are enough gamers like you who don't care about Quality and who are glad to support a developer who screws over 25% (see the poll) of their customers as long as YOUR copy works, that I'll never put GSC or THQ out of busines, even if there were another 1000 people (potentially) boycotting Clear Sky with me.

That's where the principle of the matter comes into play.

(2)And what's with the comment about "I really could care less about $50"? So many people say that on this thread - I care about $50 of MY money. You should care about what you get for your dollar - you earned it.

Finally, you haven't addressed the key issue I wanted explained to me:

1. I just want my money's worth - not one penny more.

2. (3) What I ask (QUALITY & INTEGRITY) of developers benefits EVERY SINGLE PC GAMER, including YOU.

Which of the above two fundamental issues that led to the creation of this thread is upsetting you, and WHY?

(1)Good, go ahead and support your actions, I dont want to or care to, and you're saying that makes me wrong? You say "most importantly - ME" then take YOUR argument away for US, the ones that DONT care.. you welcome people to voice their opinions, then basically tell them "your opinion is wrong! you should care!" There is no such thing as a wrong OPINION.

(2) I say this, because IDONT care... 50$ is nothing in reality, you piss that away when you go out to the movies and dinner with your gf for christ sake, even more then 50$..I can buy 10 games a week and have 5 be flops, and the reality is, I dont care... thats a personal thing.. you dont have to comment on that, I used that as an example, just because you're upset you wasted 50$, doesnt mean others have to agree with you.

(3)The ONLY way your actions can benefit me, is if I feel wronged or ripped off in the first place, and I dont. So trust me, you're not doing a single thing for me..

good day.

***I added the numbers to his post***

Not a single person has been able to explain why this thread is angering so many people.

Please explain yourselves, angry posters! My and 68 other voters all feel that GSC's slap in the face warrants a potential boycott if not rectified.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND - WHY does this thread bother you? If you loved the game, vote "NO" and say you love the game. But why vote "NO" and then come on here and further anger those of us who were shafted beta testers for GSC by saying "it's all our faults" or "you guys suck" or "stop playing PC games if you don't like bugs", etc, etc.

MANY games have been released that were either nearly bug-free (e.g. Chronicles of Riddick) OR were properly patched (e.g. Far Cry). WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE.

So all the contrarians and fan boys, please tell me why I should just STFU and take it from GSC.

I invite all people on both sides of this issue to post here - but give REASONS for your opinions wherever possible. If you can convince me that I am wrong, I will delete this thread, or at least the Poll and my OP.

[QUOTE="Qixote"]Call for a boycott after everyone's already played the thing. Yeah, that'll work.Jack_Summersby

THE BOYCOTT IS FOR CLEAR SKY, NOT SHADOWS!!!

Unless you know of a leaked version, no one has played clear sky.

then change your thread topic. right now, as i type this, it says "Boycott STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl???"

people cant read your mind. NO WHERE in your title does it say its for CLEAR SKYS... I still cant believe they havent closed this thread.

[QUOTE="fm_coyote"][QUOTE="clone01"]

[QUOTE="kieran88"]listen, nobody cares that you want to show people you can play guitar. I've been playing for 6 years and own 3 guitars, including a limited edition platinum pro warlock. Do I go around bashing a game that pretty much is nothing similar to playing guitar? no. why? because it's a fun game that people who don't have their head up their *** can see thatjstarzyk

i'm not sure if you really want to brag about the fact that you own a warlock guitar.

warlocks are decent guitars.. I happen to have 3, whats wrong with them?

I have a bronze, it is garbage, but what can you expect for 99$? thats not a guitar.... I also have a platinum and an acrylic warlock... they're decent, i like em
