I tried playing crysis 2 but it gave me a headache because of all the megabytes (i'm a grampa apparently) and it wasn't that much fun. I played it on hardest difficulty like one of you finns told me to and it made it pretty hard to kill everything in places but still exceptionally easy to just stealth from cover to cover till you reach a checkpoint without killing anything at all. first person hider. very pretty tho if you're into that

I don't think it was that difficult but if it's too hard you can just play it on normal difficulty or veteran. And it starts to get a lot better once you get to the Lab Rat mission which is 5th mission in the game.

I started playing it again trying to stealth my way through the whole game. Not ignoring enemies but killing everyone without being noticed. I'm using the semi-automatic attachment with silencer which allows me to shoot 2-3 times before losing all the suit energy so I'm just killing everyone with head shots and stealth kills and it's pretty cool how different it feels compared to my first walkthrough.

Crysis 2 pretty far into the SP but playing alot of MP and theres alot of issues that need to be fixed like...Random host,Noone getting full connection but the host and balancing issues.

Yeah, multiplayer is bugged right now. Unofficial servers work perfectly so just filter them in the lobby and you can normally. Been playing multiplayer with rami and it's really fun. And single player campaign is the best FPS campaign I have played since Half-Life 2, it gets so awesome after the first third. There are some pretty annoying bugs though but it's still the best purchase since Uncharted 2 for me.

people pee while standing up? what the heck..

at least in finland we always sit down when we pee.

this game seems too much like wow. i bet once the initial novelty wears down you'll be bored in no time if you have played a lot of wow. i read a few reviews and impressions and i just get the feeling rift is playing it too safe.

drive a horse??

faust you poor thing ​(

yeah well drules a n00b so..

i have been asking drule to add it and he said he'll look into it.

it's getting a new mario game that's cool too. i'm not really a fan of handhelds but if 3ds gets enough interesting games i might buy one later.

dis song rules, crysis 2 seems to have pretty good soundtrack from what i have heard.

i also saw some single player campaign videos today and it looks pretty incredible. there seemed to be a lot of big sandbox type areas where you could pick the way you play just like in crysis. i actually think it's gonna be better this way because despite having these huge maps, crysis was still a linear game and you always had to approach a certain area within the big level so it's essentially the same thing what crysis 2 has (with the exception of the village infiltration level) except crysis 2 also has better control over pacing and presentation. i suppose i'm gonna miss freely exploring the areas a bit but i'd take good pacing and presentation over that any day of the week. and crysis 2 seems to be pretty cinematic and story-driven like uncharted 2 or half-life 2 and that's great. that's the one thing which kept crysis from being a classic i think. i really like crysis and it's a great game which is a lot of fun to play but the presentation was only really strong at some parts of the game and sometimes it felt like the game was there to serve the technology and not the other way around so having a more involved story with scripted moments and good pacing will hopefully manage to make crysis 2 one of the fps greats if the gameplay holds up as well.

Most big titles use technology like motion capture for character animations these days and I'd be surprised if Bethesda's new engine didn't have that.

yeah, PC players can be so accurate copaired to console players that it's scary, btw do you know if the demo is limited to medium graphical detail or is it fully unlocked? i'm asking cos if it is, OMFG what an improvment on performance alone cos it set my game to max graphics (i changed the res though) and i get no stutter, it's smooth as.. somthing really smooth.

Well, there are three different video settings in the demo, hardcore is the best one and gamer is the worst one. I'm pretty sure final game will have the same ones, though I hope you can actually customize your video settings which you can't do in the demo. Also, demo only supports dx9 while retail supports dx11, I'm not sure but it's possible that there is no dx10 at all.

And yeah, it runs a lot better than Crysis does because they spent a lot more time on optimizing it since CryEngine 3 supports consoles as well. But single player campaign will surely look better than the multiplayer does since the attention to details will most likely make it more demanding.

Anyway, I reached #4 at world ranking but I stopped playing for a few hours so I'm #10 now. Having a blast with this game and already managed to get a 23 kill streak.

just finished playing a session of MP, took a me a few goes to get into it i think that power drains a little too quickly for my taste also when your hit you stagger which is only good for the one doing the shooting, if you get caught, that's it, i'ts very difficult to beat some one when you have been caught, also what Is It with people shooting you in the back, i think i died pretty much every time from being shot in the back, only a few times from when i could actually have a chance (and twice where i jumped off the roofs XD) what really pisses me of is that i got an award for it called "coward", AS IF I WANTED TO GET SHOT IN THE BACK! i might ask them to change that becuase tbh i don't think ANY one in the game ever got killed from behind cos they were running away, more like some one came across them from behind and shot them, personaly i think those that do should be labeld the cowards, not the ones being shot in the back.

Once you familiarize yourself with the maps and start using heat vision and the sensor which lets you know when someone is near you, you won't be killed from behind if you're playing properly. Also, listening to footsteps helps a lot unless someone is using the module which suppresses sound from footsteps, then it's a bit more difficult to know where your enemy is coming from.

I'm basically constantly switching heat vision on and off to quickly check any area for stealthed players and using the proximity module really helps you to get started since you know when someone is close to you and you can react to the situation before you're taken out.

also when your hit you stagger which is only good for the one doing the shooting, if you get caught, that's it, i'ts very difficult to beat some one when you have been caught

Yeah, this was what I was talking about. It's actually not too bad if you have enough suit energy and armor mode on but most of the time you don't. You really learn to adapt once you have played a bit so it's not too bad. I still hope they'll change that one thing though, it might make sense on consoles but it's just way too easy to kill you with a mouse and keyboard when you can't even sprint to dodge bullets.

good going vanit you're already at first reactor at this point you'll have it all done by 2045......

in all seriousness though that looks really nice.

i just wish the battle system was better. i really liked oblivion but somehow battles were very stiff. and pleaseplpaselapsleaspelpawe do something about those awful character animations and get rid of the horrible leveling system and it's gonna be great i hope.

so i have been playing the multiplayer demo for a few hours this morning.

the multiplayer is so much better than in the original crysis. gone are the overly huge maps and new nanosuit is so much better. the upgrading system is nice since all the suit modules actually have impact on the way you play the game and they are pretty cool. i really like both maps in the demo, they aren't too big but big enough so that you aren't constantly fighting someone and you have time to look around and be sneaky and make use of your nanosuit's powers and heat vision. plus the levels are pretty vertical which is cool, i just wish power jumping didn't use so much of your suit's power.

there's one thing i really dislike though. whenever you hit someone or you're hit, you can't sprint right away even if you were hit in middle of sprinting. it essentially makes you a sitting duck in many situations and it kinda sucks because you die pretty quickly. it's good that armor mode doesn't make you a complete bullet sponge but they really need to let you sprint freely. another mildly annoying thing is that normal jump and power jump are both mapped to space (holding space for a bit results in power jump) and sometimes you accidentally do power jump even if you don't want to. there should be an option to map them in different keys.

anyway, other than that i'm really liking it so far. add me if you wanna play sometime. my nick is RikuFIN.

New album isn't really very good.

you're wrong it's p.great. not their best but it's pretty refreshing and i have hard time deciding my favorite song. give up the ghost, codex, separator, little by little and lotus flower are all very nice.

i'm open to the idea. i believe there is a slight element of masochism in a lot of things we do, but i think that the word "masochism" is a bad way to describe it as it brings with it a certain mindset, but seems to be the most apt word i guess.

this is how i feel about it too. i mean people like to watch sad movies because they are sad and it contributes to the overall experience. same applies to books and games. i don't understand why it's so hard to admit you can actually enjoy this!! masochism is a very negative word though so i can understand why you wouldn't want to be associated with it but i can't really think of a better description right now.

actually, i think you could say it's about enjoying the pain itself (i also wouldn't call it that but whatever) since a lot of people tend to complain if games are too easy so that means they do enjoy pain as part of their gaming experience??
