While it was actually kind of good to have that in a demo where things should be streamlined and accessible, I was still really disappointed in the options for graphics in Crysis 2. Before I consider playing it, I'd like to know if they put in proper settings to customize it all, or if you'll have to edit a config or some other bullshit. I already got screwed by Bulletstorm being glitchy as all hell, and I don't want to deal with dumbed down settings.

They changed it to "high," "very high," and "extreme" and the configuration file is open so you can edit it there. 
But I have nothing good to say about this and will let my silence and the small tear on my face speak.

Hmm well, PC users shouldn't mind editing an INI file as long as it doesn't break the game.  Still disappointing that they would give dumbed down options for what was once considered the benchmark graphics title on PC.

 Seriously, you have to open a configuration file to change graphics beyond pre-sets? Even bad console ports like Dead Space 2 lets you change more advanced graphics in game. And they are trying to convince us that they didn't abandon PC gamers.

" @gike987: What was bad about the Dead Space 2 port? They seemed to get rid of the vsync issue in the first one. "

From what I've read the options are just as non-existent as the demo.  They also have forced mouse smoothing and acceleration with no way to turn it off (most obvious sign of a shoddy port job).  So far I'm incredibly disappointed from what I've read... and they game doesn't unlock here for another 2 days.

According to IGN (about halfway down the page), you can edit your graphical settings with console commands.

I know many mourn the loss of customizable commands, but I notice now that I spend less time fucking around with settings when they just give a few pre-set that make a difference between smooth and pretty.  If I know there is something that bothers my system particularly, at least there's the knowledge of editing an .ini file.  I reckon that if you know what you need to turn off, you know how to edit an .ini file.

" I'm more disgusted by Crytek calling themselves a PC developer after pulling that than I am of Bioware calling themselves an RPG developer after Mass Effect 2. "

Wait, fucking really?   Guess I'm not buying this game, then. "

WTF are you serious? So the mouse problems from the pre-patched PC version of Bioshock are in this? If so fuck that, I'm not buying this shit, not before actually trying it at least. "

From what I read, Bulletstorm had mouse acceleration, and encrypted .ini files so you couldn't edit them and turn it off. I'd like someone that owns the PC version to confirm this before we start reporting it as fact, but... God damn. And developers wonder why people won't buy their shit anymore. (Also, just totally realized that both Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 were $60. Lol.) "

I just saw a thread on Gamespot that posted an Advanced Graphics Options program that lets you change lots of things.

Oh graphics, how popular art thou.
 
But yeah... this doesn't seem like a problem to me. I just tick it on high and my default resolution, runs great and looks great.

This topic makes me understand why console gamers dislike a lot of us PC gamers.

Yeah, the only really bad thing for me about the preset is that the bloom is off the chain. I guess if someone has a worse PC he'd want to be able to tweak motion blur and such to make it run smoother, but even on very high it runs better than Crysis 1 medium. It's still DX9 though, we'll see what DX11 with even higher res textures will do. "
