So now which games you buy is all about what runs best... Great, lets go play Quake 3
If you don't accept that games become better looking all the time on a PC, and that more powerful hardware is needed to run these games, then go buy a console... Calling Crysis unoptimised because you're able to run COD4 at max where Crysis gotta be turned down, then I'm authorized to kick you.. JUST LOOK AT THE GAME! For hindu's sake, what's wrong with people's eyes? Crysis and similar games is why we PLAY games on a PC, because things like these are possible... No graphics-cards out for a YEAR have been faster than the last, so naturally cutting-edge games are going to need to be turned down...
And calling Crysis gameplay simple is the biggest non-truth I've seen... Crysis gameplay is what you make of it, that's the idea of "Sandbox-style" games... You have a ton of options, and if you simply take the most straight-forward approach and does whatever the game tells you to, then that's your fault, not the game's...
"Walk, jump, shoot"
Uh... How is COD4 any different? The game runs on rails, the only things you ever do is shooting anybody that runs in your general direction, move on and shoot again... If you ever find a sniper-rifle, chances are you're going to need it, so the game even takes away your freedom of choice in weapons...
And the only way the game can make it harder for you as you progress is to throw more and more enemies your way at the same time... Yes, very modern gameplay there... And then they start timing things at the end, WHOOPI-ing-doo.... Yes, that's obviously cutting-edge gameplay... And the forced vehicle sections, no matter which vehicles we're talking about, are nothing new either...
Uh... COD4 AI is so simple you wouldn't belive it... The problem is that they get some kind of aimbot-cheat at higher resolutions, not to mention their ability to shoot you as soon as you expose yourself for more than half a second... Crysis' is far more complex, the problem is that you have so many more possibilities in Crysis to out-wit them that they might seem dumb...
A game where the enemies ALWAYS run to the same spots before they start shooting, ALWAYS run the same routes, and ALWAYS stand in the same spots, can't possibly be called complex AI... Come on...
I'm not saying COD4 is a bad game, I enjoyed it a lot... But calling it more complex, better looking, higher-class gameplay or better optimized than Crysis is, IMHO a great lie...
People just love bashing Crysis and calling it a great disappointment because it doesn't run like sunshine on their PC's (which haven't improved much in general game-performance for a YEAR, which is incredible by PC-standard)...
/OT
Tri-SLi is not for the average person, just as SLi never was, but for people who want it, it's there as a possibility, which I love... NVIDIA and AMD still know that people will want a faster single-card solution, it'll come in time, when AMD get a better card out... The problem isn't that the GFX-companies think they can just keep making people buy more and more cards, but simply the fact that AMD is going through a hard time...
Just like when AMD was on top with AMD64, there was no serious improvements in performance for a VERY long time, but look at what happened....
I remember when NVIDIA and ATI were rolling out new cards every six months, people were complaining about the fact that they couldn't keep up with the development... Now that we've actually been given a break, and some incredibly performing cards at their price-points, people complain that they are coming up with ways to improve performance while we're waiting...
Congratulations hypocrites...
All in due time people, the faster cards will be rolling out by the truckload soon enough
Best Regards![]()
