Yup, i remember the devs pimping FIFTY hours of gameplay. Not a bit of wonder when absoloutely every enemy respawns multiple times. Its like playing BC2 and trying to fight off an army of medics who just keep reviving, its like a zombie army.

I'm bemused that AMD continually let themselves get outmaneuvered by Nvidia's TWIMTBP. If Nividia want to throw money at PC games development, then good luck to them.

Any need to resort to insults to try and carry over your opinion over my opinion? Or is that how you role when you disagree with someone?
Personal opinion entitlement is allowed.
I get the impression that, even if i remembered to put 'imo' in my post, you probably would have slated my post to this topic.
Not everyones tastes are the same you know, which is why there is such a thing called diversity.
Reported either way and maybe you could learn to be more civil when replying to something you disagree with in future.

I never mentioned the gameplay due to the fact it doesn't hold a candle to Crysis' gameplay imo.

I'm sorry but I found Far Cry 2 to have better graphics AND better gameplay than Crysis. Sure there were aspects of the gameplay that were weak/poor (respawning guard posts, vehicle chases, huge distances to cover, malaria, etc) but despite all the issues I found it a MUCH better game.
That said, Crysis 2 looks like it is shaping up well and the videos released so far appear to show a much more engaging and varied game. It's just a shame that nVidia is so involved, as their business tactics are pretty disgusting.

I found crysis to have way better GFX than farcry 2, there is really no comparison, people that say farcay 2 has better GFX must have been playing crysis on medium/low settings, if not they lagged so much on very high settings they couldn't appreciate the quality.

Bleedin' hell how could you possibly take that as an insult? Granted, maybe I should have stuck a big green smiley face in there to show it was in jest, but still!
In all seriousness though no offense was intended but I will say that Crysis looking better than FC2 is an absolute fact. Opinion doesn't even come in to it.
Crysis maxed out looks truly beautiful, FC2 on the other hand, is merely 'meh'.

Crysis warhead graphic settings maxed out > Farcry 2 graphic settings maxed out.

It is the internet, i can't exactly predict the way you came across without an emote or something else stating it was in jest, but i did take it as an offense because i didn't know it was in jest. Raven proved before when i made a sarcastic comment and everyone thought i was serious because i didn't put the '
' emote at the end of my post indicating it was sarcastic.Either way, apologies for reporting you and i'm sure the mods will see it in a different light now it's been resolved between the two of us.

I feel the same way. This isnt good news for people with ATI cards or non SLI'd Nvidia card owners. Physx will ruin this game.

ATI sorry AMD are supporting The Witcher 2, so I am sure they will make sure it will run great on their hardware.
Supposedly. There's more chance of nVidia breaking the game on ATi cards than there is of ATi breaking a game on nVidia cards. That just seems to be nVidia's way at the moment (The Way it's Meant to be Played?).

so glad im not the only person, quit it with the 'console port' rubbish already...and why was COD: MW2 a bad game? what exactly made it bad, lack of dedicated servers im expected to be the answer...
just because a game is on console, then comes out on PC it doesn't make it a 'crappy port' to be honest.

I agree, and I really wish people would get over this. It's been done to death, and isn't even true for the most part.

People will go on and on about dev support and the "massive" amount of help given by Nvidia to game makers, its a logo, they are paying to advertise and not much else.
If given years of involvement Crysis didn't have physx(thank god) and somehow didn't work brilliantly on Nvidia hardware at launch, nor did SLI work at launch, lets put it this way, if Nvidia DID send loads of manpower over to help make the game run fantastically, they failed, miserably. Same goes for many other titles, Nvidia talk the talk but in reality they are paying for not much more than advertising space, unfortunately thats become somewhat important because if everyone always seems Nvidia's name plastered over everything AND Nvida go around telling everyone how heavily involved they were and helping to make sure it runs great on launch, then more people buy Nvidia cards, the Nvidia brand is better known and we get into situations like missing AA, physx being plastered onto games where its rubbish and wastes time that could be better used on other things.
THe number of TWIMTBP titles with broken SLI on launch, or a buggy driver that needs several versions to get right. Well Crysis is one of the biggest titles of the past several years and Nvidia didn't have SLI scaling at all and also had about 5 beta drivers out in the week AFTER the game was released. AMD had useless xfire scaling in the game but their "Crysis" driver was released before the launch, and xfire scaling came up along with SLI scaling, it was more of a game issue than drivers, and yet with Nvidia's "heavy involvement and generally being uber fantastic and helping dev's" they couldn't manage this previously.
