Are you kidding? I only have the Demo and haven't even completed that as I just wanted to see if it would run at all on this thing. !http://forums.pcworld.com/legacyimages/

Nearly i am just nearly out of the aliens den, well i think you come out, you know where you had to enter the den of the aliens, where are you, have you finished it?

no i haven'tt finished it. Was busy with nfs pro street . Now i m fully onto crysis.I m at the place where nomad just rescues helena and entered the alien den. After entering the den, i m having no idea where to go (gravity was just lowered at this place). All directions look similar in here. Any idea where to go ?

[piyushsingh]

hi coastie!
I dont really know how much gameplay does the demo offer .

[coastie65]

Hi piyush, Your post disappeared for some reason. The demo includes the opening and the landing on the island. You work your way around the Island and finally come up on a Village/camp where you do battle before making your way back to the landing zone and I think that is it. coastie65

playing crysis single with cheats is funn, i love getting the infiite amo and health then go missle everything in my way so awesome lol

[piyushsingh]

playing with cheats is fun only for a small time, after that u will get bored. I havent tried any cheats for crysis yet. There must be some for infinite cloak (what a fun that wud be). But the real fun is without cheats. :-)

[VladTheImpaler1990]

Na i never play games with cheats, its no point to it, its no challange.

[lilxkid24]

after you beat singleplayer legitly you play with cheats lol its pretty damn fun going and blowing everything up ey either way i dont play crysis that much mostly play counter strike or counter strike source or team fotress

[VladTheImpaler1990]

Ya but i still do not like using cheats, but yes sometimes but it gets boring.

[piyushsingh]

hi lilxkid!

have u done with the single player ? i m stuck at "core" level. I dont see any path to proceed. I ll check out the crysis forums to see if i can get some help.

Also,i havent played cs source , i mostly play cs condition zero .Is there much difference between the two?

[VladTheImpaler1990]

Hey piyu,

What you mean core level, i have just got out of the machines base, and now i am helping these guys out side, where are you having a problem?

I have an XBOX 360, and it will apparently run the game quite adequately the way I bought it a couple of years ago, unlike even my five month old Vostro with 4GB of RAM and an NVidia 8600M video card, which probably won't. Actually, definitely won't since it's running Linux now.

If you're about spend a couple hundred bucks buying a new 3D video card or upgrading your RAM to run a PC game like this, just buy a game console with the money instead. It's a much better investment, and you can play it on the big TV with a friend.

I see no point to buy that sort of game for the PC, and if it sucks (and it probably does), I can always just exchange a console game for cash or for another used game. With a PC game, even if it doesn't work on your PC, you are just plain stuck with it.

And over here you'll find a nice review of it. Yahtzee is the new jesus of games... or something. Yeah.

Hi evildave, Zero punctuation is right, a one long sentence review. I did checkout, or at least tried to checkout his review for The Witcher. Couldn'y make much sense out it as he should have gotten a speeding ticket for the way he was talking. coastie65

[Evildave]

Yeah, it sort of runs past pretty quick. Lots of people have to replay his reviews a couple of times. I don't personally have any problem understaning Limey/Aussie accents, so it's usually no problem for me.

[coastie65]

I don't have any problem with the accents, it's just that I'm from the South where we talk slower and by extension listen slower. coastie65

I wont spend on getting a separate gaming console - when you have a pc that is doing fine then its ok. Its depends on person to person.

[VladTheImpaler1990]

I totally agree, i love building a new pc or upgrading its components, and then you can also lan, go on the internet, and so on, and yes you guys going to say you can do that, but you have to have the internet that will work with it,in south africa no ISP service can can run a xbox 360 on the internet.

[Evildave]

Oh, absolutely. It's just a pity so many game makers aim far past the installed base of even 'power users'. For instance, 'Supreme Commander' didn't need a gig of RAM and realtime texture shading... they just decided they wanted it. The game would've played just fine without the extra bit of special effect gimmickry, and people with a realistic home PC could've run it. They could've written the game in FLASH for all the work the AI does. Instead, they overshot a great deal of their potential audience, and many probably won't play it until it's in the bargain bin, or being traded as 'warez'.

But if you bought Crysis and brought it home only to discover you needed a new video card and another gig of RAM to run it... that's going to be disappointing, especially if your buddy got it running on an XBOX 360 he bought two years ago for less than the cost of the new video card you're buying to replace the one you bought ONE year ago. Heck, you could buy a game console AND a big screen TV AND a surround sound stereo for the cost of a new 'killer' game PC to play games like this with.

[VladTheImpaler1990]

Well yes it is alot cheaper, but firstly before buying the game i think most people will see if there computers can run it, the other thing is its alot nicer playing a lan with friends, i mean i live in a small town and maybe one guy has a xbox, and i don't know him, so i would rather have a pc have a great lan with friends.

[piyushsingh]

there are always demo versions of the all the pc games to start with. I always first get the demo before i make any purchase. Though i skipped the demo for crysis, as i had seen enough reviews and gameplay videos to make sure it will do fine with my specs and i like fps very much.I had earlier tried the demo of nfs pro street as i was among the firsts to try it . I downloaded the demo the day it was released as i was too much excited about it- didnt wait for others to review it, did it myself and also finished the game even before others were planning to check the demo. So demos are always for help.

YA i totally agree with you that a year old game console will match with a pc of current specs but as i said before it all depends on how you plan to spend ,
a pc is capable of doing many tasks (more like a general purpose machine, not a special purpose one that is designed to do any one job in a outstanding way).

And ya some game manufacturers just try to increase those requirements just to gain attention, some very good games with good graphics at the time they were released are able to run in system with low specs. Thats all how the engine is working . You will be shocked if i tell that i played warcraft 3: reign of chaos and its expansion : frozen throne on my old pc (933MHz with 256 md sdram) without any troubles. Whereas there is a game named little fighter 2, available for free at lf2.net which has a small setup (<50mb) but its a very funny game with MP support of upto 8 players , lagged terribly on this system, why coz all the images were encoded in bmp . :-)
