"There are a lot of things in this world that perplex me. Among them are scat fetishes, university room numbering and the popularity of Kool-Aid, but nothing has baffled me quite as much as the universal praise that Crysis 2 has gotten.
A first-person shooter from legendary tech demo creat- I mean, developer Crytek, Crysis 2 is obviously a sequel to the first Crysis. Its main hook was putting you in control of a versatile nano-suit and letting loose with its powers in an alien-infested New York, and it was both a critical and commercial success. Sounds like a great game, no?
Unfortunately for me, that ‘no’ is an apt answer. I have no shame in saying that Crysis 2 was, without a doubt, the most boring and thoroughly ‘meh’ shooter I’ve played this generation." (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.
I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.
I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.
I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.
I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.
Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.
How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.

Crysis 2 is just a boring game.
1)lackluster story
2)weak gameplay
C2 is a console port, and graphically outmatched by the previous crysis pc exclusive.
Console port and console directed game design is what ruins PC exclusives.
They gimp the game so its able to fit in the consoles limited memory and poor GPUs.
Console ports are ruining the industry.
why am I even playing your game if you intend on giving me the finger and putting the game on autopilot so your graphics engine can jerk itself off?
That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard a reveiwer say.
Crysis 2 was by no means a bad game. It just didn't do anything spectacularly IMO.
As a huge fan of Crysis 1, it was rather disappointing, but still a fairly enjoyable game.
I enjoyed it, nothing amazing, but it's a solider shooter, with better graphics, more freedom, and more to do (stealth, special attacks, pucking things up and throwing them etc) that lack in oh let's say...call of duty or battlefield campaigns.
