@nintendians: I also still have a GTX 970 that's doing everything I want it to. I planned on buying a RTX 2060 earlier this year but then Corona happened. I'm glad it did though, because shortly after the RTX 3000 rumors started and now I'll look into getting a RTX 3060. With one of those I bet the PC will be two console generations ahead again.
Crysis' engine was unoptimized and horribly coded, hence the insane hardware requirements and lame memes. And it coming to the Switch first tells me it won't look any better than it did 13 years ago, maybe just barely. The story was meh anyway and the MP forgettable (Crysis Wars was much better in that regard), + EA, so I won't pick it up.
Nothing special considering most people bought the game in December and were waiting for the content they already paid for, 343 inviting over 300K people to the flights to massively hype this up and it being Halo 3 (which doesn't say much since Reach was the most popular Bungie Halo on console with most players still playing that after several years).
Considering Halo 2:Anniversary PC had over 45,000 concurrent users on launch without all the hype and Halo 2 already existing on PC before this is pretty pathetic when every fanboi tried to convince you "It will go back to 160K concurrent players because it's Halo 3" these past 6 months.
And what a surprise ( /s ) players are already dropping by the thousands again just like Reach, CE and 2, and Halo 3 didn't even have terrible launch bugs like the rest. The user retention rate of this franchise is such a joke, hence why Halo Infinite will launch on every Game Pass capable platform possible, even the OG Xbone, so they will get the most money out of microtransactions before everyone leaves again. But so far it just looks like a bunch of stolen ideas from content Bungie had to cut for the original Combat Evolved and their old Halo media, so no new ideas here either.
Halo on PC happened 10 years too late. By now everyone left due to 343's incompetence to faithfully continue the franchise (Halo 4's COD-clone multiplayer, XB MCC being broken af, Halo 5's terrible story and MP MTX, terrible VR demo game, even more MTX in Halo Wars 2...) with this (half-a**d) PC port being a last-ditch effort to "save" this doomed franchise from fading into oblivion, but so far I just don't see it working.
PS: I'll yet again buy a Playstation that joins my PS3, PS4 and PC, who's still willing to buy an Xbox when they'll make all their (mediocre, live-service) exclusives available via $1 Game Pass on PC trials as well in the future?
