Anyone playing Crysis?

I like it. Its Far Cry 2, which is ok in my book. My amd 3200+/7800gt/1g ram runs it fine on medium settings without aa. Its amazing how far games have come graphically.

I'm running an Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 2 GB of ram and a Radeon X1950 Pro and it runs like hammered shit on my PC. On medium settings it runs at 15-20 FPS. That's playable but barely. Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, etc. look better than this game when you run it on medium anyway.

A lot of reviewers are saying playing it medium with 20-30 FPS takes away from the experience and I agree. Barely anyone can play it like the EA tech demos and unless you do it looks like crap if you ask me. And yes, graphics do affect the experience of a game!!!!!

I just think it's very annoying that I can run Bioshock at max resolution, ALL graphical options turned up to the max with AA on and it ran at 45-60 FPS constant.

Yeah, some game companies don't understand what an excellent graphics engine is. Those who developed Crysis made it beautiful, but only if you're playing on a really high end rig.
The folks at Valve got it right, IMO: they did a gorgeous looking game(Half Life 2 and its mods) that looks good on most PCs, and decent even on low-end rigs.

Hehe...oh yeah. I remember the epiphany of playing regular Quake then going to open gl Quake with a dedicated graphics card. Agree about the HL2 engine...very hardware forgiving. I just finished HL2 Episode 2 (killer game) and it was butter at 1024x768, settings on high. I guess they want us to keep buying those video cards.

It's a very unoptimised engine - not to mention the malarky of the 'DX10 Only!' graphical effects that work with DX9... Maybe after a few patches.

I'm playing it maxed out on my high-end machine and it looks fabulous.
I'm still using DX9 since I'm not sure if I want to run Vista.
It does have a couple of graphics bugs that emerge once in a while.
Also, despite the specs on my system, it tends to lag a bit if I physically move into many "areas" in one sitting before the next checkpoint. The lag is easily remedied by restarting the game.

Asus P5B Premium LGA775 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz
Aegia Physx Accelerator
4 Gigs of RAM
GeForce 8800 Ultra 758MB
2x 250 GB SATA Hard Drives in striped RAID configuration

All in all the game is terrific if you can run it. It's certainly the best looking game I've ever seen and it captures firefights excitingly.

Right now it's hard to get excited about COD 4 or other FPS games.

what is the theme behind crysis? Alien invasion or human vs human?

I am still on BF2 mostly and my wife likes the slow Anno or Civilizaiton building up cities type of stuff. (I sneakily swapped her high end vid card to my computer 8600 512MB )

I am building her a mini ATX desktop but the way it is looking, it can handle quite a bit of gaming as well.

so far it's human vs. human with a pseudo-sci-fi theme.
Later it becomes human vs. monster/aliens, I understand.
