Looks nice, didn't like it.
I thought the same after the first match I played, albeit not bad, my impressions weren't great. It's been years since I've played a FPS. Plus, I can't play at a competitive level, I just play for fun.
The thumb finger of my left hand became extra sensitive after a very deep cut I suffered months ago (in the middle of it -at the joint's height-). It became extra sensitive, I can feel bumps and imperfections of my skin, hair, etc a lot more intensely compared to the rest of my hands' fingers, and it hurts. Besides, I can't bend it easily.
Anyway, back on topic..., the more I play Crysis 2 the more I find the game aesthetically pleasing. When I played it for the first time I didn't play any other game to compare it too, nor I had played other game for a few days.
The second time I tried the demo I had played Fable 3 a few minutes ago, for instance. Fable 3 is a good game, but graphically wise it looks incredibly drab compared to Crysis 2.
The Global Illumination effect does really make a huge difference, and now I'm beginning to think a lot of games look drab.
Maybe it was just Fable 3, whose textures aren't "lit up" in any way no matter how you look at them, but I experienced the same feeling with other games, including the colourful ones.
I felt kind of negative towards the game at first but now I find delight and joy in it, :smile: and that initial negativity really lessened in the time I played it.
As for the PS3 version and judging by the config files, pretty much like PC gamers pointed out already, both versions will look very close.
Regarding Bayonetta the comparison brings me a smile. Here's hoping Crysis 2 will turn out different.
