I am a ps3 owner and i recently build a pc that can run crysis. the rig is over 1500 bucks. i run crysis and when i first saw it i thought it looked good nothing special. i ran the game on very high with 8xaa.

the environment and explosion effects looks really good but the character faces looks mediocre. everything looks very crisp and cleardue to higher resolution and 8xaa. buti dont think it looks better than uncharted 2 or killzone. those game has better designs and just look better i honestly think that people perceive crysis as good looking because of the high requirements.

all in all im really disappointed because i spent that much money for crysis because nothing else on the market needs that much power to run. and the gameplay is just terrible. i played past the first mission and i lost interest.

Have you experienced it at maximum settings? It looks phenomenal. Problems with this? 80% of PC's can't run the damn thing without suffering severe framerate drops! At recent, I can only run at medium (I.E. 4xAA, ect.). Any higher and my PC takes a dive.

Imagine that.. a cow making this thread :lol: . I've give up reasoning with that bunch, the worst of the worst when it comes to fanboys.

I can run Warhead on my laptop at 720p, mostly medium settings, no motion blur, no AA/AF, but shadows set to low and I get around 30 FPS. My card - ATI 512 MB Mobility Radeon HD - seems crappy for shadows. The game looks decent like this, as good as console games. I know on High/Ultra settings with AA/AF it would look far better though.

Before that, please elaborate "maneuvering dynamic terrain". They do that about 10% of the time, the other 90% is spent vacantly shooting in a suicidal fashion as you tear their friends to bits.

And the other problem with this game? The hilarity it unintentionally delivers to the player. They attempt to do an awkward "kneeling" animation which turns out to be a mix between a constipated male and a crippled tiger. They supposedly do this to simulate their need to not get shot in the head by stray bullets, but still get turned into swiss cheese with little to no effort.

What before giving an example of a game with good A.I?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhivQYxCzxw

Watch that and understand why crysis A.I is good, this is probably a pointless discussion with you anyway.

I see SW hasn't changed much in my absence, people attacking Crysis; which is likely followed by people blaming PC gamers for it being brought up at some point.

The way I see it; it comes down to post purchase anxiety. People want to reassure themselves they made the correct platform choice, so they bash the alternative options as a means of self reassurance. Attacking Crysis and making claims of X console game looks better is a method of putting to ease the irritation of Crysis's existence. Crysis is evidence that you cannot simply buy a cheaply massed produced gaming system and get the best the industry has to offer over its life cycle.

So they argue, then argue some more. Maybe if they declare X game better enough they can make themselves feel better.

I'd be interested in knowing what the OP had in his rig, because maxing crysis with 8x AA isn't an easy task.

i know its a technically better game. i didnt deny that in my post. i said every thing looks very crisp and clear and the environment looks really good. but yes i like the other games because of the design styles.

Killzone 2 looks like crap...at least Uncharted 2 has the best graphics I've seen on consoles,but I still wouldn't say it is on the same level as Crysis which is amazing considering it was made almost 3 years ago.

There are alot of cows on this board that are, I know they have good things to offer, never said they don't. BTW judging from you last post in your thread this is an artstyle thing, and I will say as I said in the other thread.

There is no such thing as a better artstyle.
