Crysis = teh suck. Worst release ever.
Worst. Game release. EVER.
Words can not even begin to describe how much of a pile of shit this game is. I've looked forward to this game for months. It was supposed to change the way we see games. And for me it did. I will now never buy a game upon release for fear of being stuck with the world's biggest pile of shit.
AAhhh, Crysis... Worst fucking release ever. When it works, it works great. It's a masterpiece. But it never works.
Nothing but trouble ALL day. I've had to call Tech Support six times already.
The first time I started the game, it rendered my cursor 300 pixels right and 100 pixels down of where it was reading it - in other words, if I wanted to click a menu button, I had to move my cursor over two inches and down one.
Second: While playing the game, the performance suddenly drops to about 5 frames per second. Dropping my graphics to nil does nothing to solve. Restart the game, graphics to High, works fine again(for now).
Third: changing anti-aliasing automatically causes the game to crash. Every time.
Fourth: While playing, I turn around to find my arms floating in mid-air. It was as if I was staring at myself, only all I could see were my arms. I saved it and restarted the game.
Fifth: Upon loading the game again, it places me inside a tank. It was as if I had used no clip to walk through it's side, then turned clipping on again. I was stuck. Couldn't move at all. So I reloaded my save.
Sixth: Upon reloading, it places me about 100 feet in the air, and of course I fall to my death.
Seventh: I reload again to find myself on top of the tank. I jump off, go around a wall, and all the sudden I get strange colored triangles all over my screen. Nothing I do gets rid of them, so I close the game. Well, Crysis sucks so bad, it kept those triangles on my desktop. Here's a screen shot for you: http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f329/marinegunrock/Untitled.jpg.
Eighth: The game starts stuttering EVERY sound it produces. Even a restart doesn't solve it.
Ninth: I've now come to a part in the game where it starts to lag. Yes, a single player game is lagging. How the fuck is that even possible? I press the forward key only to find that when I move forward ten feet, I move back five, teleport forward 20, and end up in front of the business end of a North Korean rifle.
In one of my calls to them, just to let them know how fucked up the game is, I had a guy tell me he found my problem. "Great!" I said to myself. "What is it?"
And here's how it went down. (This is about to get all Verizon .002cents =.002 dollars)
TS: "Well, after looking at the minimum requirements for this game, I've found that your processor doesn't meet them.
MG: "Ummm... what?"
TS: "Well, the minimum requirement is a 3.6GHz processor and your's is only 2.4GHz"
MG: "Yes, I have a Core 2 Duo at 2.4GHz, which far surpasses the requirements."
TS: "No, sir, you need a 3.6GHz"
MG: "Sir, that 3.6 is for the older generation of Intel processors, the Pentium 4s. What you're telling me is that I need a 3.6GHz processor with two cores, which would cost thousands of dollars."
TS: "Well, you need a better processor."
MG: "What you're telling me is wrong. Please connect me to your supervisor."
So after some startled stuttering, he did. When I got a hold of him, I told him what I had just discussed and that he needs to "school his techs in what the differences of generations of processors are."
Then he told me to send in my DxDiag information, which I had already done several times. I then asked for his work email address so I could send it straight to him. And more lovely dialog occurred.
TS: "Well, sir, we don't have a personal email account from work."
MG: "I find that hard to believe. You mean to tell me that employees at your company don't have individual email accounts? Especially supervisors? It would have been one thing for you to say that you're not allowed to give it out, but to say you don't have one is hard to believe."
TS: "...Well, we can't give it out."
MG: "So you DID lie to me? That's unacceptable. Please connect me to your supervisor."
TS: "Err, umm, uhh, they probably won't be there."
MG: "I don't care. Try it."
From there, I talked to his supervisor and told him what happened with the last two people, and what my problems are. Of course, there's still no solution to my problems.
Even dropping ALL options to minimum doesn't resolve them.
And since you don't know, here are my system specs (the ones that matter):
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz processor
4GB RAM
GeForce 8800GTS TDH with 640MB of RAM
So I should be MORE than able to play this game.
In short, don't buy this fucking game.
How the hell did this game make it out of beta?
