Anyone know when the patch addressing the game being shit is going to arrive?

Is one of the moves to piss yourself on stage?

@Bender the great That's too complex for console tards to fully grasp.

@EliminatorZigma I think he means, as opposed to the original Crysis where blood looked like... blood.

@nawoa Wait wait wait... April Fools? Gotta be. Gotta be.

What a sack of shit.

@Playace Looks sort of like an Advance Wars / Fire Emblem / X-COM hybrid... nothing wrong with that. It's an under-represented genre.

"Blown out of proportion"? It's not like EVERY game I've bought in the last 3 years has been on Steam... it's not like EVERYONE I know has Steam installed... It's not like Steam has upwards of 3 million people logged in simultaneously on a daily basis...

Steam IS the PC market - along with smaller ones like D2D, Impulse, etc, but Steam at the very least needs to be factored in. NPD's failure to do so is probably a big part of the perception that PC gaming is dying.

And of course, the anti-piracy people LOVE to cite things like "Crysis only sold 3 copies (at retail)!! Oh, 5 million total though, according to Crytek? Way above their forecasted sales? Made way more profit than they would've if they'd had to manufacture and ship all those units to stores? Let's not mention that...

I suppose I can see why they might not want to include the digital distribution platforms though - it would look odd if every few weeks a years-old game jumped to #1 in the charts because it was half-off on Steam.

@2late2die You need to stay in more. Homeworld's soundtrack was decent, but there are lots of better ones.

It had only one really memorable track ("Agnus Dei") and it was just a choral version of a song from around 1940 and has been used in dozens of movies and TV shows, from Platoon to The Simpsons.

Story was very good though. If you want something with a similar kind of gameplay you might try "Nexus: The Jupiter Incident", which has the same sort of small fleet focus and fairly deep strategic gameplay. It's got about the same learning curve though.

Crysis Warhead has Gamespy. My computer doesn't have Crysis Warhead anymore.
