[iNvid02]

Spoiler

i love you tt

 

[Spazznid]

agreed.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

Thread title is perfect.

My 680 is ready.

 

[Ken Masters]

Really want to play this game but will wait for the PS4 version next year, just can't play the crippled 360/PS3 version

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Fitting OP. Will be buying the game day 1, possibly against my better judgement due to past multiplayer frustrations (although I played the beta and netcode seems tighter this time around).

cautiously optimistic, but no prone still = shitter than a shit

Game is too fast paced for prone in multiplayer...and cloak + prone + foliage = unbalanced as all hell.

CD-Action Mag 9/10

CD-Action Mag known for reviewing big games early has reviewed Crysis 3 and gave it a great 9 out of 10. a user from Crydev forums named “pcrysis” published a few details about the review as you can see below:

it takes 5h to complete game in normal mode with sidemissions
there is something cool after credits
probably driveble tank
ending doesn’t exclude future dlc
last two levels are really big
facial animations better done than in LA Noire
you can see the cover of magazine calling it a MEGA REVIEW because its 8 pages.

overall 9/10
gameplay 9/10
video 10/10
audio 8/10

Lenght of SP made me , but at least im sure it will be action packed.

 

[Dennis]

Now its a thread!

 

[FACE]

Will wait for gaffers opinions.

 

[Dennis]

My Titan will decimate this (I hope).

Do you have a Titan now and just planning to get one soon?

 

[L0st Id3ntity]

Come at me

 

[Dennis]

I would post a photo of my SLI setup but that would require dusting and that is too much work.

 

[Appleman]

Would definitely buy this day 1 on Steam, seriously considering passing on it. Hate Origin.

Passing on it just because you hate Origin?

Honestly I have come around on Origin at this point. It runs super smooth, haven't had issues in forever, they release games at midnight local time not west coast time (I'm EST), all the games I run through is support cloud saves. Now all they need are some game sales that are actually worth it and we're golden.

In all honesty, I don't HATE it as a client but I hate that I'm being forced to fragment my digital library which is right now 200+ games on Steam. Still might buy it but I would literally pay a $10 premium just to have it with my Steam collection.

Passed on Battlefield 3 for the same reason, no regrets.

Well if you passed on Battlefield for the SP then you win, if you would have played multiplayer then you missed out.

Can't you link the exe into steam library anyways and just log through both services? Wouldn't be much different than logging steam then Ubisoft's Uplay for Far Cry 3 or Assassins Creed...

 

[legacyzero]

Best OT title in a while.

Nice OP as well. I'm going to play this game.

and post lovely downsampled shots in the PC screen thread.

That's what I do. Even if Orgin is not open, clicking on the game in Steam will open Orgin then the game.

Come at me

Holy shit. I'm jelly!

 

[Momentary]

Yes, that's what it is.... Any other crevices up your ass which you can pull other golden nuggets of information from?

It's common knowledge. Instead of acting juvenile how about you do research instead of feeling insulted over someone stating facts.

Too bad quad scaling is trash

 

[Zeth]

I feel almost required to get this day one since I have a shiny new GPU, so I'm trying to minimize financial damage. Should I go with GMG and get some credit, or Origin for the preorder bonuses?

 

[BloodMoney]

I’ve got a single MSI 670 Power Edition OC’d to 1300 (core) and 3600 (vram)… I fully expect to be unable to maintain an acceptable frame rate with GFX settings maxed at 1920x1200. I hope the game is crippling due to amazing graphics and not poor optimization.

 

[Smokey]

I am ready to destroy this game! My machine has been yawning between the release of C2 and this.

 

[Neuromancer]

Prophetraz!

I hope there's still a little Alcatraz rattling around in those neurons...

Crysis 2 was well optimized, so it will probably won't be the latter.

 

[BloodMoney]

Crysis 2 was well optimized, so it will probably won't be the latter.

At the time of Crysis 2 i had dual R6950's... that tessellation stunt they pulled with Nvidia (entire ocean below playing surface) was BS and crippled my AMD cards.

Though I recently played through C2 again with my 670 and it ran flawlessly.

 

[Andrew.]

Day Uno.

Well, Crytek jumped from Nvidia to AMD. This time we will get good optimization for both camps.

 

[Neuromancer]

By the way Best Buy is giving a $20 credit with a preorder (PS3, 360) if you're part of their paid gamer club thing.

 

[Kurdel]

"Hun-ters... Hun-ters!!"

I can't wait for this game, and the news that the SP is only 5 hours has me hyped!

 

[BloodMoney]

tasty bait

 

[Zeth]

I got really hooked on the MP Beta, was super bummed when I found it ended today. Considering getting it from GMG for the credit, do I miss out on the "bonuses" from Origin then?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Nice!

My PC is ready for this

Spoiler

5 hour

ride!

 

[Mango Positive]

I'm excited.

I booted Crysis 2 within 20 minutes of beating Crysis 1 for the first time. I did not find the game to be as dreadful as most people seem to have. I missed the foliage too, but it was a beautiful action game with great gun-play.

I preordered from GMG as well. I believe it comes with Crysis 1.

Edit:
From GMG:

Lovin' how SP PS3 footage seemingly doesn't exist

 

[Deadstar]

I wish you could play as the frog

Frog in nanosuit would be awesome.

 

[MadOdorMachine]

I'm thinking about pre-ordering this on Amazon, but I'm worried about Origin. I've heard that every time you install a new graphics card, you have to re-activate the game and it's a pain dealing with EA. Will buying the retail disc alleviate this? In other words, if I buy the physical disc and decide to upgrade or build a new PC later can I just uninstall the game and then re-install it using the same activation code that it came with after upgrading the graphics card?

 

[Strange in Stereo]

Great OT!

Getting this day 1

Spoiler

on PS3.

Also I guess I should play Crysis this week, I've only played 2.

 

[RoKKeR]

Great OT, well done. I'm starting my Crysis 2 run through right now with beautiful Maldo 4.0. I'm trying to convince myself to wait on Crysis 3 but I might just pull the trigger come launch day.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Thread title perfection.

 

[tiny raptor]

Does SP 360 footage even exist?

 

[dLMN8R]

Any indication if Crysis 3 brings back any sort of environmental destruction (small buildings, plants, trees, etc.) from the original Crysis that was sorely missing from Crysis 2?

 

[Riposte]

Will this game flat out tell me it refuses to run on my PC if the beta did?

 

[sp3000]

Nope. Crytek heard you like static level geometry instead.

Either that or they are limited by console memory constraints. I doubt that though since Crysis 1 on consoles has environmental destruction. It's more likely just them being dense as usual.

 

[Hypron]

This thread title is so godlike it should win OT of the year.

Does SP 360 footage even exist?

Not that I'm aware of. They only showed PC footage.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The game will reach out the screen and slap you for even attempting to run Crysis 3

it will then replace all your installed Steam game files with copies of Runescape, at the lowest graphical setting
