Calm down kids

Ok, so I can understand why most of you guys are so angry.

1) Black Ops fail of a launch and awful first 3 months
2) Duke Nukem svcking something awful
3) Crytek seemingly catering to consoles


I have never played a game that was perfect out of the box, and I doubt I ever will. Crytek has made a fine game, and when you get down to it you have to agree. The PC gaming community is mocked because of people like most of you; whining, complaining, and moping around because something that ticks you off hasn't been fixed within THE FIRST WEEK of a launch.

NOW NEWS FLASH

Game Devs are people too- just like you and me.

Just because 100 angry shut-ins cry for a fix to a problem on day one, doesn't mean they can magically snap their fingers and have a patch delivered to your desktop on a chariot made of bacon and tigers blood- This actually takes time. People have to sit down at their desks, sift through code, write new code and before all that find the source of the problem! Let's just take a look at what we've asked for.

1) Advanced Graphics Options - Not that bad, totally do-able!
2) Pirates not being able to access online content - No sweat, right after we finish those graphics options!
3) Hackers and cheaters/anti cheat system - Uh.. yeah. Of course we can fix that too.
4) Directx11 support - Sure why not
5) Lobby and level up system bugs - Yeah yeah we'll get to it
6) Hardware issues (multi GPU flicker) - Ok yeah; heap more on the pile.
7) Account access bug fix - Honestly, we're not gods.

My point being, is that you can't expect instant gratification for everything that is currently a problem with this game. I acknowledge the fact that all of these issues could have been corrected before game launch of the developers had been paying attention- and yes I'm aware that this is a console port. All things that for a company that was started on PC gaming should have taken into consideration, but we should be used to getting shafted by now. The next patch will fix things- maybe not everything- but things. Just calm down and stop complaining, give Crytek and EA breathing room so that they can assess the situation and not think that their PC gaming community is a bunch of blathering basemant-dwellers.

All of this being said, if there isn't a fix soon, it will be on the companies head, and they will lose many customers. Maybe a little more community communication would be nice as well. Let us know often what is being done to fix the issues. You will save yourselves a lot of forum space.

tl;dr Things take time, the PC community needs to learn a lesson in patience- myself included.

Yeah, but I did pay for access to multiplayer and so far haven't been able to play a single SECOND online.

Yeah and I'm really sorry to hear that. This kind of **** happens sometimes... it's unavoidable to have a completely bug free launch, and you'll be able to play soon. They don't have an army of employees- it's a small workforce and they can't answer everyone's questions. Granted, they could be doing a lot better in that respect. When I bought Black Ops I couldn't access the MP for a full week before I got it fixed. And then I had to deal with massive lag for 2 months.

I see where you're coming from and i sympathise with the Devs.

But lets be honest, It's their own fault we are demanding so much from them so quickly, they should have done better bug testing before launch haha, I mean to release a game in this state is pretty silly and only asking for trouble, It should most likely of been delayed while these kinks get ironed.

So to speak, but thats just my opinion.

@ Wally101: Ah, but then you have the question of would you rather they delayed it and you can't play at all, or release and patch so you can play during the process?

My point is that everyone needs to realize they are being unreasonable with their demands and expectations. Yes the game should have been in a more complete form for launch, I feel like I'm playing an MP beta (although a really awesome MP beta) with some bugs that still need working out. So far I can honestly say my experience with the game is positive, if people started thinking in the long term I'm sure they'd be enjoying themselves.

With the exception of Freyar because he can't even access the game. :(

Considering that EA/Crytek were hiring another company to sort through authentication, I have less sympathy. There's more people to work with authentication and login problems than most really give credit for.

Then Crytek should sue this authentication company for doing a piss poor job, and people should stop creating a thousand threads about it and start spamming the outsourced companies resources. :/

Bangasm you've taken the words out of my mouth, so many are crying, with upper caps etc saying how the games failed and how Crytek fails etc from some issues that were found at the START of launch.

Well, you have a good point, but there is no way to say how long the delay would of been, Even a week's delay would have been better.

My game experience was positive, until a bug popped up that alot of people are having where we can no longer play in a MP game for longer than a few minuites before being disconected, Which wasn't the case 2 days ago, So you see yes people are being unreasonable, but it's to be expected, They paid for something they can't play and they want something done about it fast.

Unfortunately, Crytek and EA decided to use the third party, and there's no real method devised by EA/Crytek to speak with IGN/Gamespy. Even then, they're not telling us specifically who to talk to.

@Wally101: And that's super unfortunate and it svcks, if I was in that position I'd be really upset. But I'd go to school, go to work, do my homework check back every so often and when the game is patched and my issue is gone I can enjoy the game again. People are acting as though they are going to spend the next month sitting in their computer chair staring at their monitor- sweating, crying and praying for a patch to fix their issues. It will happen, just give it time. If EA/Crytek however, does not fix the issues and gives a, "Whelp we tried" kind of attitude, then I will be incredibly pissed off and will seriously reconsider all future EA/Crytek purchases.

Thats a reasonable thing to say, and when i'm not sitting infront of my PC furiously typing and waiting for Crytek to fix their game i'm at work or doing something else, but when i have free time and fancy a gaming session with the new game i just purchased and have to wait and wait and still not be able to play it can be rather frustarting.

It's like for example, You are dying on a drink of coke, but you have none left in the house, you head to your local, and they sell you it, but the lid is stuck, and you try and try to open it with no luck, and you are left unsatisfied and no matter what else you do, you are still left feeling "Empty" so to speak for not having that drink of Juice.

Now thats just one way to get across what i think, alot of people are feeling at the moment.

I understand that feeling, I honestly do. Whenever I buy hardware it never works the first time. But the difference between that and this is that there is nothing WE can do about it. It's all on Crytek and EA, and they are working on it rest assured. No amount of biching will hurry them up as they are doubtlessly working as fast as they can already to pump this patch out.

i agree... i hope crytek will support the pc.. maybe deliver dx11.. do balancing.. fix cheater.. dont do dlc overkill.. do it a little bit more like blizzard...

and PLZ release somekind of an Editor.. Sandbox or what it called is..
A Game with no Community selfmade content, no direct input from the community just suxx..
look at all the great multiplayer games!! Counter-Strike, Quake, WarCraft, UT.. all this legendary Multiplayer Games are still alive cause of community content.. if u cut this out, u got more money of ur dlc.. but ur game will in a few month not been selled anymore and further games wont have a big community and ur crysis 3 want achive as high sells as it could be, if u do now the right decissions.


and im fine.

You're 100% right, but people feel they need to vent, even if all that comes out of it is other people sharing their current thoughts and feelings, There is nothing anyone can say that will stop this, other than CryTek saying, Yes we are releasing a patch Soon?, so rest assured all these issues will hopefully be resolved, but even then, There will still be that group that will continue moaning, as they feel they have to for some sense of satisfaction.

But yes, if only people would have a little bit of patience and wait and let the Devs sort it out.

I found this line interesting...sounds to me like you need to play more games.

Also, the reason people are so pissed off is not just because of those issues you mention, but because of many others too. Do you even know about some of the game breaking bugs in the single player alone?

It always amuses me the amount of drama and rage people have. Having an opinion is one thing, but spamming it 3,000 times repeatedly in all caps and using every expletive possible is not going to help. We need less middle school screaming matches and more constructive input and criticism. Sure you can post rage and hate filled posts and people can choose not to read them, but don't expect anyone to ever take you seriously. Even respected people on review and hardware sites are acting like children, it's absurd.

If you honestly hate this game so much, just stop playing it/sell it/try to get a refund and move on. Stop wasting your and our time by posting in threads every day about your rage filled antics of hating the game and the developers. Spamming the boards with crazy stuff isn't going to make the patches come any faster. Go play Crysis 1/Warhead again in the meantime or maybe some Super Meat Boy if you like being so angry.

"*You're from Canada."

I can tell from your grammar you're obviously a poorly educated American. Only takes one bad egg to spoil the bunch, all in all most of you are nice.

You obviously don't work in the industry and your opinion is uneducated and uninformed.

Simpathy for the devs? EA's fault because of the release date??

Come on. The problems with the multiplayer are outragous. Thank god we can return everything within 30 days without any questions here in the Netherlands.

You have bugs and faults. The multiplayer problems are faults! The graphical problems are just bugs.
