Quick Look: Crysis 2

Been wondering about this game...
 
Edit:   Wow...I never thought I would get that quest done...was total random luck.   And for the record, I really have been wondering about this game...been waiting to see a quick look of it. :)

Sweet...Crysis 2

what do i do? 

to buy, or not to buy

mhmmm Donutssss

First?

AM I!
 
 
Lol at Sweep making it into another Quick Look.

No DX11 at launch and no graphical settings means I'll probably buy it later on for cheap.

I'm hungry now. Great.

yummm

Late night for Vince tonight

oh man a long quick look! might have to get something to eat.

Shit, do I watch this hour long not quick quick look or go to sleep because I have to get up early... quick look it is.

Crytek, what the hell happened to you? "

Vinny, what are you doing up so late? It's totally my business, you know.

Watching this on an Android phone is an injustice to this video. Had to hop back on... the computer train for this.

He is pretty good at working both of those at the same time.

Welp, I can't stand the suit voice. No option to turn it off or make it less offensive? No sale. Maybe a strange thing to make or break, but I find it really annoying. 
 
Also the graphical option stuff is disgusting, I mean, they went from having incredibly customizable graphics (with DX10) in the first one to not customizable at all and only DX9 in this one. Most other modern PC games, even console ports, offer better graphics options and almost always DX10 and increasingly DX11.

kinda disappointed that the tutorial popups and subtitles aren't integrated as part of the display.

I hate when they lock you out of game modes based on your rank. Weapons and abilities fine, but don't limit my game modes because I just got the game.

How is the suit voice offensive? This has me curious o_O "

Interface= Punch

360 version looks okay... for a 360 game.

Those graphical options are a joke.  
 
[edit:] regarding a comment Jeff made: Crysis 1 always gave you a pretty clear idea on where you had to go ... the only thing that was up to you was how to get there and how to handle the situation when you got there.

This game's gorgeous visuals aren't up to my obnoxious standards. I hope Crytek gets shut down and EA goes out of business for this travesty.

Yea those suit upgrades seem pretty hefty. I remember in crysis 1 your Maximum armor made you take like 1  or 2 more hits. And I swear the north koreans had about the same hp as you on default. 
 
These aliens seem pretty wussy imo. 
 
Any option for the female voice in crysis 1? Liked that voice way better.

• selling me a Maserati GranTurismo and delivering a Yugo: no DirectX 11 - W H A T ... T H E ... F U C K ??!!

• The game does looks good on PC in DX9, the Shader Model, visual effects and art style is fine. Also, what you don't see in the QL, since Jeff was eager to quickly run through the levels to show us more stuff - you can grab the blue light with your hand, or kick down the other light sources, showing some dynamic shadow effects, just like Far Cry did. You can kick cars!! You can grab things (barrels!) and throw them at the enemies, etc etc - there is way more variety to the gameplay than shown in this QL.

•  Sadly, the AI in this retail version is as weak as it was in the leaked build. That is a true bummer, since the game isn't hard enough. All you guys who enjoyed Crysis 1 (like me) will not like that at all.

• ...and yes. This in-game voice-acting Gen. Hargrave sounds like your retired grandfather from 1909. 

• Story is stupid, but gameplay is good. Gameplay counts?!

Crytek has always acted like a bitch towards the PC. Even though Crysis and Warhead sold multimillions and gave them the wealth to start up 5 divisions across the world they still cried at how piracy was killing the company. "

For dudes in super magic alien armor, they sure seem to die quickly in multiplayer.

I'm very dissapointed in the amount of flat/crap texture work possibly because of the hardware but still

Jeff said it's "different enough" from CoD. From the perspective of someone who finds CoD mp boring, and thus hasn't played it all that much (a decent amount of MW, but only a few hours of MW2 and blops), I didn't notice very much that was all that different. I mean, sure you can cloak, and you earn some upgrades in a slightly different way, but other than that it seemed bog standard Call of Duty multiplayer. And neither of those are particularly interesting.
 
Did my inexperienced eyes miss something of importance?

Crysis 1 you could change it to a female voice if I remember correctly.  Wonder if you still can. "

I kind of don't like these dual quicklooks... maybe because my brain is dumb, or I just don't like watching the same thing over again.
