When I ordered mine graphics cards were not an option. That said it handles a 2560 x 1440 screen very well and I can play 1080p movies on it without any upgrade.

I suppose that makes sense.

I have heard of Crisis. I have never seen it played. I sometimes get the impression that not many people actually play it but just run it and send out the stats as a way of tech willy waving.

Is it a good game? Is it popular? Is it typical in it's graphics requirements? Is that one question too many? Should I start a thread on this?

Yes.


Yes, Crysis 2 comes out next year.


Not on your nelly.



No, but that one was.


No, and you're just pestering now little kitty.

I played in when I upgraded to a GTX275 as it was the first graphics card I owned that could play it on full with some AA and AF (DX9) @ 1680x1050. I thought it was a good game. The graphics were tremendous and the game was good but the whole feature of being able to adjust your cyber-suit thingy on the fly didnt really work for me.

That said I'm looking forward to Crysis 2 but I'll sacrifice some of the graphical wonder and get it on Xbox/PS3. I cant be doing with PC gaming anymore.

I'm still looking forward to playing teh original Crysis. I gave up after half a level.
Turns out an Athlon 64 and 7800GTX just can't cut it.

It didn't for me, to start with, that was until I linked it up to another mouse button. Made it far more useable than using the key.

I could operate it, I just didnt see the point. I pretty much used the stealth one and thats about it. Saying that I didnt get even half way through the game so maybe I didnt give the system a chance.

The problem with will my computer be up to play a game meant that I was driven to consoles. They may not always be state of the art, but you do not have a problem of will it play.

Console gaming has kind of inherited a few of the problems of PC gaming though; unfinished games being released, downloading a frigging patch when all you wanted was a quick game before work, 'We've decided to abandon/pretend there's no problem with this game even though it's newish and doesn't really work properly'...

Not to mention "We've blatantly developed this game for one console and ported it (badly) to the others. Joke's on you, [LIFTED]!".

Maybe the poorly finished games is another reason that the games industry is having a hard time?

Or releasing half the game and expecting you to pay for the rest (unlock on disc or DLC)
