[QUOTE="whocares9"][QUOTE="Polaris_choice"][QUOTE="whocares9"] Anyways, I thought IGN gave the game an 9.4? What is this AU? Australia? whocares? Lets face it, all this review does is complain about the system requirments...if you can't stand the heat than get out of the kitchen. The game is no standard shooter with out the eye candy it is a mind blowing open ended shooter. An absolutly amazing game. In-fact we can now pick out which game sites are fan boys simply by the score of Crysis because it is obvious that anyone who scores Crysis low is either one of these two people
A: A person who has not played the game
B: A person who is jealousy because his PC sucks.
This case with AU IGN it seems to be B. I can play the game fine and I am not running SLI....I must be part of the 0.2% :roll: lol
That reviewer should look for a new job. Maybe reviewing food recipes might be more up his alley.

Um the reviewer had the best single GPU solution on the market and it ran like crap and yes it does ive seen it myself. If you need a top of the line SLI setup to play a game the way it should be played then yes thats a hinderance. And yes system settings should effect a games rating . Some people have better things to do then spend over 2 grand on a gaming pc.
The truth is though that the game runs fantastic on even a 8800 GTS(320mb) like mine. Some people have this brain disfunction that tells them they have to play a game on full settings to enjoy it. Crysis was made for future generation PCs as well as this generation PCs...Crytek doesn't expect people to play it on high but they do boast about the highest settings...hell I would too. System settings should NOT effect a score because as soon as a better GPU comes out to run it the score becomes logically void and uselss...and what about the people who can max it? how should they view the score? The reviewr is clearly bitter that his PC sucks...sorry but old news with these Crysis haters with sucky PCs.
You're actually questioning a PC from a professional gaming website? Strange... Anyway, I'm not sure how people are tweaking Crysis, but in my experience with S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I think it's fair to dock off points if it's not running as expected, and you'll have to do "advanced tweaking" to get it to run smooth with minimal loss in image quality. Regardless, Crytek did say that most people would be able to run the game on max with relatively "easy" requirements (I'm not going to find the exact quote, but the amount of people bragging about playing it on max months ago should be more than enough), and with those screens and videos that looked extremely amazing, it's a bummer it never really happened. And yeah, it's a worldwide epidemic brain dysfunction. I don't know about you, but I don't like settling for second best when I know I can have more. It bugs me, and this is throughout all aspects of my life. Yes mate, I really have a brain dysfunction :roll:Well there's obviously something wrong with their PC since I'm running the game at medium/high(mostly high ecxpet for shadows and a few other stuff) at 1280X1024 with AA on a E4400(Oced to 2.5 Ghz) a 8800 GTS and 2 gigs of ram. The FPS never or very rarely dip under 25 FPS.
