I doubt many people are holding out for a DX11 patch before buying it. In fact, I'd say the number of people who are is insignificantly miniscule.

Of course. The "huge" amount of people criticizing the game because it didn't use DX11 and that they're only going to buy it when it had DX11 support, were just spewing BS. They never intended to buy the game in the first place and just wanted to trash it as much as possible, to validate 1) piracy, since they would still like to play the game 2) just plain old criticism towards Crytek, for whatever they do (good or bad for the PC Gaming market)

I dont think that was a huge amount of people at all. In fact I think that was very few people.

i was one of the "few people". why should i buy it when the developper didn't deliver on their promises? i didn't feel crytek respected me as a pc gamer at all. and i am not cheap or impacient. if they had released the game later (but properly) on pc or if they charged extra for a high res pack it would have been all right with me. but don't sell me garbage and expect me to buy it. a lot of people accepted that shit, good for them. but i also know that a lot of people who wanted to buy the game changed their mind. i am very curios about the crytek's approach with crysis 3 towards pc gamers

I'm curious how the DX11 patch will perform. I don't even play the game on the highest settings now just because the performance drops off quite a bit. Ditto with the first 2 games. Sure I *CAN* run them on the highest settings, but I'll take a good looking 60fps over super-pretty 30fps any day of the week.
 
I'd love to see full DX11 support but I don't expect too much out of the future patch. It'll be more a hotfix rather than a feature patch unfortunately. I really can't count on Crytek to be the barrier breaker. DICE is looking to be the better with Frostbite 2.

Anyone that changed their mind on a GAME, because it doesn't support DX11 (a graphics API, one that brings almost nothing to the table, visually speaking), wasn't really thinking of buying the game in the first place, or has problems forming rational arguments.

Also, what did Crytek promise that they didn't deliver ? I hope it's not about the DX11 thing again, because I keep reading that they promised DX11 support, etc etc, but there's no basis for that, no interview, no statement...nothing... just assumptions and rumors floating around, before the game launched (like some files in the beta that hinted as being related with DX11)
 
Jeesus, people are still playing this game? I thought you uninstalled it weeks ago, back when patch 1.2 was coming out. GG

Will never happen. The seven pointed cover is a piece of Marine history, we will never change it. Same with unit patches. Marines never have and never will wear unit patches.

Whoa whoa whoa you had your head in a bucket the whole time? they promised plenty and didn't come up with any of it This includes DX11. What's more, whatever was not promised was very strongly hinted at. We were led to believe there was going to be a sandbox 3. That was not in there either.

IF you seriously cannot grasp what people here are banging on about all this time then, well it will be a minor miracle of some sort.

Listening? ready for this? in a nutshell:

1) The game is unfinished. Promises to add what is missing were very vague until very recently. Why go on what isn't a concrete yes or no? did it appear that crytek gave a SH1T what the PC crowd thought? NO
2) They've locked the game files down tight. Modding posibilities are trivial. The latest patch locked even more files.
3) The hand-holding in-game and general dumming down is rampant

They made promises regarding content that they did not keep, they led us to believe their product was something that it was not. They stayed absolutley silent for weeks after launch regarding any of this. These are truths.

It is highly subjective, but in the eyes of many, they SOLD.US.OUT.

P.S. to clarify the 'unfinshed' remark. Wanna know why the graphics options are reduced to presets? Because certain combinations of settings (made possible by simple mods) cause glitches. User generated detail level combinations are not entirely workable in the current version number. Besides the lack of an advanced renderer, the lack of a sandbox, the 'Press Start Now', the A.I. bugs, the myriad connection issues, it is very obvious that they barely made it to validation submission dates to Sony and Microsoft and in wanting a simultaenous launch across all platforms, they let alot of features slide from the PC version. It is gimped for a reason and that reason is lack of time. This cannot be admitted by them apparently, and it is most illuminating but also deeply dissappointing that Crytek cannot manage their image in the eyes of their most ardent fans. ([Y]ou and [M]e).

I doubt anybody is waiting for DX11 to play online. I think the only way you are going to see a spike in players is when Steam has a sale for the game for $13.99 or something.

In Australia, your game prices are very high also and Steam sales don't even price them cheaply for you right?
 
^^ Yeah, the prices here are insane, Crysis 2 in retail costs like $75 or more, yeah right, I bought mine cheap online for like $30. Steam is slightly cheaper, but still expensive.

Some games are cheap out here on Steam and just use US pricing, other games (like EA games) use regional pricing, so Crysis 2 was $70US on steam out here. I was neber going to buy it at that price, but my friend decided to grab it so I just played the SP with him. I really need some American friends who are happy for me to transfer them money to gift games to me, lol.
 
Online numbers won't improve much. Color me skeptical, but if the numbers are bad right now, it will only improve when the price goes to bargin bin prices...but by then, BF3 will be out and PC gamers will have better things to spend time on anyway.

Is this OK by the Steam EULA? I have to imagine it's against their rules.

My friend is in another country, can they install the game at the same time it is available to me?
Not necessarily. Steam games are tied to the region's release schedule. If another user has a later release date for their country, they will not be able to play their received gift until that time.

Hmmm
 
Here's been my experience with steam & other countries (I've used it through a VPN that terminated in various countries).

If you have an overseas billing address they won't activate it when it's bought. I'm not sure how this works with gifting things though. I initially had my Korean address as my billing address but had to change it to my U.S. address due to a game not being available in Asia. After it was bought though it didn't give me any issues.

So it doesn't seem to give a crap about the country based IP address. So if your friend has a U.S. account and you login from another country where the game is unavailable you shouldn't have an issue playing it.

I won't even touch the other points, because I know you will reply with a post bigger than this one, without any proof, so I'll just ask about the interview, article, whatever, where Crytek said (or hinted) that Crysis 2 would be DX11.

It would be nice that for once, someone provided any proof to that claim, because thus far, that's just something made up by someone that just wanted to trash Crytek for whatever. If Crysis 2 had DX11 support, then those people would just criticize it for something else.

Seriously, I'm getting fed up with all these issues in this game, 3 patches released and I haven't really noticed any improvement, multiplayer not signing in for me and when it does, it randomly disconnects me from any server I join. Seriously Crytek, they really fucked it up big time with this game, no wonder everybody is avoiding this game.

Why would it be, they have built the function into their client and there is no restriction whatsoever on it.

I have had people in other countries gift me stuff that was not available in Australia, and equally I have gifted games to friends in Australia whilst traveling overseas.

This of course is quite apart from the reality that their EULA does not mean crap here (whether someone decided to take them on about it is a different matter though).

RRPs are outrageously inflated, but it has become less of a problem since the advent of internet shopping.

I don't even remember the last time I bought a game locally, I import everything from the UK, US and Asia for a third of the price.

Steam is hit and miss, sometimes they price games at around RRP and at other times it will be the same as US prices depending on the particular publisher.

Won't make an ounce of difference. Same thing happened to UT3, and that game is still deader than dead.
 
True story.

Shame too, I liked UT3

Nope this one's a total loss. Fetch the clean-up team.

Well look, seeing as you disagree with basically everyone on... 'the internet' I see the burden of proof, as the lone voice against the football stadium full of people, being on your side. Where in your opinion did the DX11 and sandbox 'rumours' :rolleyes: begin and what news item or interview has been misinterpreted and fuelled this snowball of internet rage?

I'd like to see you argue the point that "did it appear that crytek gave a SH1T what the PC crowd thought? NO".

Please, I dare you, I double dare you.

NOTE: Crytek dissing is not merely due to a missing render path

"I double dare you" ? ...How old are you ? :rolleyes:

And yes they did give a "SH1T", 4 years ago with Crysis and they got so much flak for it (even though it was the last true PC game since a long time), that they had to start making their games to consoles too and they got flak again. But this time, with ridiculous arguments such as "OMG!!1! Crysis 2 sux0r because it doesn't use DX11"

But I don't expect that you understand how ridiculous it is to slant a game (an entertainment product) based on the graphics API it uses...

Well that'll be the final nail in the coffin that is the multiplayer. A great way to divide an already tiny MP community is a paid DLC map pack. You might get away with it in a game that has lots of full servers, but not when the game is already dying out.

Yup. I daresay VERY few people are going to sucker up that $10 for that. Talk about an insult to injury!

Well I went from someone who likes the game and was having some fun with it to someone pissed off at Crytek. For 3 weeks now I can't login to my account when I launch the game. I have tried to make a new account, no go. All my info is correct and I can login to my account at mycrysis.com without a problem. It worked fine all through the demo and from day 1 of the retail until 3 weeks ago. I changed nothing. Simply tells me invalid login info. Apparently it's happened to alot of people as there's a long thread on the offical forums yet crytel doesn't acknowledge it nor talk or help with it at all. I called EA and they gave me a 20 promo credit toward the EA store, great. Still can't play the game nor can I get my money back because I bought it from D2D. EA tells me they can't help me because Cryteks login system is their own blah blah blah. What a fuckin joke. Oh and now they want 10 bucks for DLC? HAHAHA fuck you Crytek.
