IGN:Crysis 2 brought in the reins a bit on player freedom compared to the original, but still managed to preserve all the same gameplay complexities. Even the controls were more refined, letting players use all of the nano-suit's gee-wiz, techno-gadgetry at a whim instead of needing to constantly shift from one mode to the other. It was smart stuff, but it left some wistful about the lack of tactical choices. Crysis 3 repairs this.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
Electronic Arts has released a new update for the PC version of Crysis 3 that removes its SecuROM protection system.
Bang4BuckPC Gamer tested Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV, with all of them running with 30fps in 8K.
That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.
This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.
Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP
DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
You know the problem with Crysis 2 was the feel of the suit, nothing was wrong with the controls they felt great, but the overall idea of you being a badass never came into play..
you never really felt like you were wearing a special nano-technology suit.. as soon as you said Maximum Armor it just meant you could take bullets for two seconds more then if you didn't put it on.. Lame..
and running, drained all the suit's power so if you tried to run up on guards you died because by then your suit's power was drained.. that's not a super suit. -so instead you had to take cover and then shoot.. that's a super soldier.. ah. no?
I'm wearing a nano-suit for crying out loud let me go crazy
So hopefully they balanced this all out in Crysis 3 and the game will feel more like your a badass...and be an epic game.. I got my fingers crossed for this one as I already pre-ordered it so we shall see..

Crysis 2 was just boring with a terrible story and lackluster gameplay
