Bye bye Crysis...

What bull****. This is just another example of the ongoing lobbying to abandon the PC altogether, when all attempts to cripple it with DRM have failed. From an industry that hates if users have control over their hard- and software.

The piracy debate is mostly propaganda. Because people who can afford the time to download 5 gigabytes of game data are not the majority, and these people couldn't afford many games any way.

That's also why most big PC releases now have insane online registration systems. The game industry goes the way of hollywood. Let's hope in the long run this also means emergence of an alternative market that caters for people with a different taste, or any taste at all.

Then on the other hand, we have this to look forward to....

Great - welcome to our future world of canned games. No one pushes the boundary on graphics / physics / nothing if we all play with the same spec machine.

Piracy is BS. I own all my games - bought an paid for, and I can't force myself back onto a console when a PC has so much more capability. Its a cop out for devs - All they will make are canned games if these keeps up - kind of like the music industry.

Indie games may be the way of the future for us.

Remember guys, you need to feel bad for Crytek because they made an agonizingly typical and derivative game that they poured millions of dollars into and followed up with a massive back catalouge of unfullfilled promises big enough to make Daikatana seem like Grand Theft Auto 4.

According to Cevat Yerli IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! NYAH NYAH!

Good point. Pirates become the no 1 excuse for developers who tank. I could think of a number of other examples where someone releases some badly sucking crap, goes bancrupt and then starts blaming pc gaming and the evil pirates for their undeserved fate.

Actually I never played Far Cry or Crysis, they didnt interest me the least, when it comes to first person I am more into games like ArmA and Mafia.

Farcry wasn't too shabby. In some ways, i like it better then crysis. Main reason im responding to this thread is to gripe about consoles. Lately it seems like the PC games section is getting smaller, and the console section is getting bigger. My local best buy is now down to one shelf section of PC games, with twice that for consoles. I don't even bother going to places like gamestop anymore. PC games probably occupy just 2% of their total stock visible on the shelves.

As far as im concerned, if its not on the PC, it's not happening.

BWAHAHAAA... :rotfl:

I decided not to buy it after playing the demo. The physics were impressive, but I am so tired of scripted FPS's. Bang, bang, bang, cutscene, bang, bang, cutscene, big boss fight, game over. [yawn].

When talking to the younger generation, almost all I ever hear is why buy when I can pirate it, so I don't think the piracy concerns are entirely just propaganda. However, when you make a ****ty product, why WOULD people pay for it?

Ilpalazzo · 07-05-08, 07:30 PM

Who needs em. I didn't buy or play Crysis because it looked like an average, linear, mediocre pos. ALL it had going for it was graphics. Big flippin deal.

This is a distrubing trend though. Oh well, as long as there are still people who make games worth buying then that's fine.

I download games to try them out. If I like it I buy it. If I don't like it I delete it. I'm glad I do this because otherwise I would've wasted a lot of money on bad games. Doing this has actually gotten me to buy games that I otherwise wouldn't have bothered with. I wish they would just release better demo's, or in some cases any demo at all. If it's a game I anticipate anyway, I buy it the day it releases. The ones I download are way after release.

The way I see it this method is no different from renting a game. Which sadly, as far as I know, it's not possible to rent pc games. It would be kinda cool if we can rent pc games. I would no longer dl torrents then.

I purchased Oblivion the day it came out and hated myself for it because the game sucked. It was shelved just days later. Many months later I reinstalled it and added some mods that actually made it good. If devs keep abandoning the pc then they suck. If it wasn't for fan made mods I would've thrown OB in the trash. I feel sorry for the console tards that got stuck with that pos and no mods. Modding is a huge part of pc gaming.

x360 and ps3 games are normally $60. wtf? It's the same ****. I would feel like crap buying a $60 game and being done with it that afternoon. Luckily, it's easy to return a console game or even just rent it. Good going there. The pc really needs some sort of renting system and less fuss when I want to return a pc game.

Now if Crytek intends to make some awesome Wii games I'm all for it. The Wii selection is like a G-dam wasteland. I bought a Wii the year it came out and I have a whopping 3 games for it (not inculding the sports thing that came with it). Waste-o-F'ing-Money

C'mon Crytek, make some Wii games you pansies!
