why are hardcore lemms lying about crysis 2?

the reason why im asking is because i dont get it, its not an exclusive and i dont get where they going with the "best on x360", "best fps ever", "best graphics ever", etc.

we are in GS forums, the game flopped and they didnt metioned anything about graphics being the best on consoles.

so thats why im asking.

There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small
but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios,
the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

Just accept the facts and move on, Crysis 2 IS the best looking game ever and by far

Also nothing touches it in future, both Gears 3 and Uncharted 3 look far behind

Only Codename Kingdoms will surpass it and is an xbox 360 exclusive as well

The CEO of the studio worked on Haze.

Nike_Air

Ok, we can forget this thread ever existed then

Wow, it is Anno in distant future

Another series destroyed

Only 360 is at 50 million, so 8 million ahead of PS3

Definatly the most photerealistic game i have seen

[QUOTE="killzoneded"]

This generation sadly is true for most games

The moment Fallout Vegas went better it scored lower

The moment Mass Effect2 got more casual than ME1, scored higher

And games like Gears or U2 last an afternoon with just shooting stuff, boring as it gets

waltefmoney

Fallout New Vegas was a buggy and unoptimized mess. Buggier than it's predecessor. That's why it scored lower.

Mass Effect 2 was an improvement over the first in almost every way. It makes sense the better game would score better.

Both Gears and Uncharted have multiplayer, Gears has horde mode. They provide a lot of content.

That is my point, that polish level matters more inscores more than the actual core game, which is a joke for a real gamer like me

I definatly prefer a great game than a polished one, but the scores are nearly always inversly proportional

Vegas was better than Fallout 3 and ME1 was better than ME2, so the biggest scoring ones are the worst ones

as for Gears and U2, they do have multi, but is not the same as the single player campaign and i dont play online, so for me are one day rent titles

essentially i'm wodering how people feel the 2011 PS3 game line-up will compare against the Xbox line-up. I know there's a lot of cross releases but for me it looks like the PS3 could have more stand out games this year than previouslymindyobizniz

More stand out than Demon Souls and GOW3 ? I doubt, Last Guardianseemsveryinteresting though

[QUOTE="killzoneded"]

Actually the 90+ are games only casuals will enjoy, usually are linear and 5-7 hours cinematic titles with basic gameplay

[QUOTE="killzoneded"]

[QUOTE="blitzcloud"]Normally, games that are in the 90+ on metacritic means players will ultimately enjoy them regardless the genre they like. 80s means normally that you should be inclined to like the genre. 70s, you should like the genre quite a bit or the saga itself. 60s, all of 70, plus there's some faults. 50s, same as before, with too many faults.

I said most, not all, Zelda is out of course

Both are great, i like 360 a bit more because has more games i like best like Codename Kingdoms, Project Draco, Dust, Bastion etc
