Crysis 2 PC edition OT

Ahh...didn't know that. Ok I'll totally skip mp then since I'm a gamepad player, and just stick to sp which is pretty cool anyways.

 

Ah yeah, I rather doubt there is any way around that though. I prefer the mouse and keyboard myself, but had no issue with giving controller users a bit of aim assist. It's funny how so many other PC gamers who rail on about how inferior aiming with an analog stick is seem to be the same people who bitched about Crytek giving controller users a fighting chance.

True. Overlooking some nasty bugs which will surely be patched, C2 is a great game in it's own right. It's just as a sequel to the first games that it comes off as a letdown in many ways.

 

That was exactly my thoughts on the issue. If you head over to Mycrysis you would not BELIEVE what they are saying to people who are asking for some aim assist back in Crysis 2.

The most vitriolic and hateful remarks you'll see.

 

What do you use to unpak the archive? WinRAR doesn't work with this one.

 

The app for 7z should do it.

Can't remember if you have to change the extension or not. Windows is so dumb that way.

 

Guys, I'm having this feeling that I'm missing out on some ports of the game. I feel that some missions end earlier than they should. For example:

Spoiler

In the level where you have to go to the church, when you enter the church you see this invisible alien, when you chase him, a cutscene comes up and after the cutscene you're 10 stories high.. I've also had this sequence when the aliens invade and you fall out of the chopper (when lockheart captures you), I had to kill some aliens and after killing all the aliens you see this alien pod falling from the sky, the objective is to escape but while running to the objective, the mission ends. The next mission started with Alcatraz laying on his back.. I thought it was weird and decided to youtube a walktrough up to that point, and the player who made the walktrough had a different experience. In the walktrough, when you try to escape you encouter a bigger alien who shoots you down, explaining why I woke up on my back the next mission

Weird... Also, I must say that the difference in graphics settings is really minimal. Also, when going into maximum armor you get this effects than sharpens the whole screen for a second, like the slow-mo effects in F.E.A.R. During that brief second of going into max armor, every texture looks much, much sharper. I always wondered what it would look like if the whole game was that sharp, and the screenshots KKRT posted is the result.

 

Strange. My aged brain has recollections of using 7-zip on Cry1 pak files...I must have some other proggy on my win rig.

 

Lame.

It's amazing but in a span a few days Crytek has gone from my favority developer to pretty much dead, fuck-ass last.

 

No longer available too many dls apparently. How large is it? Emailable? Megaupload?

 

Are these in your file or autoexec? Is there any way to force 8x MSAA?

 

Are you saying you cannot use both?
I have edgeaa=3 adn msaa=2 (using the gui tweaker prog)

 

If I recall ingame msaa in this game is post aa? It blurrs the picture, all the beauty is lost with this vaseline approch, the best tweak right now is to get lost of it IMHO. To bad ingame downsampling won't work, at least the usual r_width etc commands won't work and normal ssaa wont'..

I'm playing with post aa off and the gfx's are stunning now and then.

 

It's getting more fun as I progress and Neb's mods do help. Haven't tried with MSAA off so I'll try that next. Still nothing close to Cry1...and what's with the HL2 polygonal smoke artifacts? Ugh!

 

Well this sucks. Loaded up my game from earlier and my 5000 nano catalyst that I had was reset to zero. Perfect...

 

There's a thread about it over at the official Crytek forums

http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=12164

No Crytek-guys have replied in it though and it is not listed in the problems thread.

The launch of this game sucks. I bet they even took the weekend off.
