Hmm I'll have to check that out, I'm always up for a good scifi book.EviLore said:

I guess I meant futuristic and shouldn't have tried to use Sci Fi as a catchall term.StuBurns said:
The excerpt is certainly not too bad. But then again I don't think I am the best judge of novelizations.EviLore said:

It's alright. Why so much profanity, though? Is that the new trend, or something?Lostconfused said:
Seems like the in-game dialogue is based off the novel, or vice-versa. It might just be how Peter Watts writes (although it eases off a lot by the end of the excerpt).

Well no one would believe that your protagonist is a marine if he doesn't swear all the god damn fucking time.
Edit: Also swearing lets you know that its gritty, serious and dark.

Because it's so real and gritty, man. This is a SERIOUS story.

Crytek has always had tons of scripting problems in their games though. Especially helicopters for some reason. It really ruins the experience though if it happens on your first playthrough though.
When I played the demo the screen would get a bunch of black vertical lines after a few minutes of playing. I wouldn't be able to alt-tab, alt-f4, ctrl-alt-del, or even windows key out of it. It's been happening with some other games as well, so far only Homefront though. My computer can run both of those games according to systemrequirementslab.com. What's the deal? I'm hesitant to pick this up if it just black screens.
I got a question about an event that happens around the 8th chapter or so, i kinda want to know what happens when
Im at a part where i come out of a hotel and am captured by the CELL guys, they take me in a heli and then it crashes cause of aliens. Basically i get up and shoot some aliens and then see two pods drop from the sky and a new enemy comes out. Im moving kinda away from it so i dont get a great view, and i see a message flash on screen saying something like 'escape enemy'. Before i know it the screen is fading to black and a movie starts, and then next chapter im lying down in a ditch somewhere and its raining. I have no idea what the heck happened between me moving away from the robot and me getting up. Did i glitch out? Im on 360 btw.

No - that's supposed to happen, you're about 1/3 of the way through BTW.

So I think I kind of like the "blurriness" of PostMSAA=1 combined with Edge AA=3 the best out of everything I've tried. Turning PostMSAA off completely really shows some aliasing pretty bad. I'd imagine 8x forced AA would look best though, has anyone figured out how to do that? (nvidia)

Still impressed the game is so well optimized and generally polished, but that makes it even more surprising that lots of people (including me) seem to regularly run into very basic bugs like losing all your nanocatalyst points and losing the ability to melee.

I also seem to prefer fighting the aliens...
Why is that?

Agreed about the first third. Once you hit
the game just blows you away. Is it necessary to put a spoiler around that? That entire area is huge and really opens up ways to tackle the objectives. The game doesn't let up after that. Non-stop blockbuster shit. I'm having so much FUN. I spent months and months to beat the original Crysis, partly because I was trying to savor each level rather than rush through it and partly because I'd get bored or lack motivation for some reason. C2 just hooks you in after the first 4-5 chapters and doesn't let go. I think the NYC setting was a genius move.

Why not? They jump around everywhere, take cover dynamically, flank you, chase you, run away. So much better than the CELL soldiers. And also 10x better than the floating squid aliens in the original. The character models for them are so good too... love the shiny futuristic look.ColonialRaptor said:
Aliens seem way more fun to fight although its hard to explain way. That being said, i felt like they paced fighting between aliens, soldiers, and both at the same time pretty well.
Yeah i'm really glad that towards the end they didn't let go of the pace. They just kept throwing you in big areas with options for you to figure out. Really enjoyed the later parts of the campaign. Alot of games these days tend to lose that main gameplay loop when barrelling towards the end, so it was nice to see the campaign stay solid.Heavy said:

Yeah, definitely keep going if you can. I dunno, if you hated the first hour or two maybe it's not for you. But if you thought it was just OK and average, then definitely keep going.Messi said:
And if you're dying a lot, don't forget to use the visor and tag the enemies before a big encounter so you'll be able to see them in your radar.
Tip: Silencer + whatever AR you wish + red dot sight + single bullet fire mode + aim for the head is a fantastic way to meticulously clear out an area without being detected if you enjoy being stealthy (I love it).

Known bug. Known workaround:
1) "Load Crysis 2, go to multiplayer and type in your key"
2) "Navigate back to Single Player"
3) "Go back into multiplayer and re-enter your key"

Wow at the crappy save system. Loading a prior checkpoint to show a friend a cool level meant that I had lost my latest checkpoint because it replaces the latest with the one you load. Didn't even move it down the list, just copied over it, forcing me to start the entire level again.
Just...horrible.

Why did I have less jaggies with vanilla settings than I do now? Right now I'm using a config someone posted like 10 pages back, but even using that utility and maxing out the MLAA I still had them.

Finished the game today... feel like I'm echoing everyone else, but the final half/third was pretty awesome.
So what are the implications of the ending? Is Alcatraz completely dead and gone? Has Prophet taken over his body? Are they co-existing? Alcatraz is a corpse, right? What's Rasch's role in all this? Is Nomad and Psycho dead or bonkers or something? Hargreave's dead for sure, right? Also, why the heck does Alcatraz follow all of Hargreave's orders when it's obvious the guy's being shady as hell? I know he's mostly a corpse and can't talk and is dependent on the Nano-suit, but isn't he capable of independent thought? I did think the Nano-suit developing something of a personality (sorta, I guess that was Prophet's ghost in the machine) was neat.
