Crysis 2 only DX9 - DX11 will be "later" with an update

I am sorry brother, but all your post is belong to wrong.

I'll show you why.

Crysis 1 was stupid because it went with A. It wasn't that good of a game unless it was cranked all the way up, and once you beat it there wasn't much of a point going back since you already knew what to do and had seen it all.

In Crysis 1 you had an open world and a sandbox gameplay, where you could choose multiple aproaches on how to achieve a goal. Non linear gameplay, possibility to choose. Do you have that with Crysis 2? No.

If you had an SLI 8800 configuration when it hit, Crysis 1 was a good game, if you didn't it was a bad game, this is entirely because it relied on visuals.

This has got to be one of the most funny things I have heard in a good time. So, if a new road was built, it would only be a good road if I could afford to drive a Ferrari, just because I have a Ford Fiesta it's a bad road then. Very good.

So it was only worth a purchase for a minority of people, thus it didn't sell well and got pirated to hell and back, oh well, don't release games most people can't play properly.

Crysis sold so badly that Crytek had to open several studios worldwide. It was pirated back and forth because it was made using the above mentioned A method.

Crysis 2 is a good game, and more people can run it.

So a good game is a game that has decent visuals, linear gameplay and entertains. And all this time I thought lower expectations wouldn't make a game good...

The proper approach to PC gaming is companies like Valve. Don't release products that most people can't properly enjoy.

That's a way to go. Crytek did good with Crysis, but then they went multi-platform with Crysis 2 and delivered what most of people that played Crysis and Warhead would choose not to have: a god damned console port.

I'd rather see PC gaming grow and improve, and releasing games that the majority of people can't fully enjoy isn't the way to go about it. That's a sure way to keep decreasing the amount of people that can play and make it a substandard and obnoxious platform for people, and we've seen the results of that in people purchasing less games and moving to consoles.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but Crysis had perfect optimization levels, as lower end hardware could run the game with correspondent visual performance.
That's optimization, not having an 8800GT and wanting to run the game max settings 1920x1080 4xAA...
