No hope for me? Get bent.
OK so if the graphics aren't just as good, can you explain to me, outside of a few texture irregularities why the game looks just as good? No? Oh ok then.
Yes actually, and I already did. Draw distance. Physics. Limited Destruction. Textures. Water. Terrible POM. Everything feels 'chunkier'. etc etc. I could go on, but you obviously don't want to listen.
Draw distance is decent, all you could see in the last one was trees and mountains.
Draw distance is NON EXISTENT. They've filled the entire game with a skyscraper skybox. It's the only way they could make the game feasible on a console.
Oh and you had to go down the same routes in Crysis, yeah you could choose a slightly different one but fact is you still had to do the same LINEAR missions no matter what. Not a big deal.
It is a massive deal. Crysis 2 you are forced down a very very limited path, and you MUST do the level exactly as instructed.
Crysis you could come at an objective from any side, in multiple different ways. If you played Crysis as much as you claim you have then you know this and are just playing devils advocate for the sake of it. The constriction of level progression on Crysis 2 is pretty much linear, you have one way of doing things, it gives you 'tactical options' but thats just akin to asking door one or two, it doesn't really play out any differently. Crysis was WAY more sandbox and you know it.
Honestly I'm so done here, I'm a PC gamer and all but the amount of whining you lot dish out is pathetic.
Go stare at your Heaven benchmarks. It seems you only have an interest in things that look amazing but have little substance.
Crysis 2 is far from great, but it's far from bad. It's a worth successor to the first and is more focused. That's about it.

I'm a PC gamer also, as are MANY of the people who think it's a pretty darn average and meh game.
It brings nothing new, it's all been done before, and IMHO and in many others opinion it is FAR from a worth successor to Crysis.
It's not that Crysis 2 is a bad game, it's just that it's
not really what you expect from a Crysis game.
You could quite easily take the nanosuit out of the game, and replace it with some other mechanic and protagonist and relabel it under any guise you liked, and it'd just be another FPS with aliens in.
