  • Joshua Tompkins

  • http://www.gamesthirst.com Ernice Gilbert

    Darn it dude. What can of internet speed to you have?!?!

  • nick

    cant wait to give playstation move heros and MK a try.
    hope its good, sony have not exactly been giving it much attention so im worried its going to be another shovelware game!

  • http://www.gamesthirst.com Ernice Gilbert

    I’m hearing all sorts of drivel about Crysis 2 PS3. I’m Already disappointed. My impressions later. But watch this:

    http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head/verdictscreen-shot-comparison/head2head-crysis-2-multiplayer-demo-screenshot-comparison/

    Crytek should really shut up about “mastering” the PS3.

  • nick

    eh, ill be getting the PC version so i dont really care.
    its there first venture onto the console so this was inevitable.
    the console would of not helped them, crysis 2s massive worlds would of taken allot of RAM, and the ps3 has half of the 360s available so that would of caused a few problems.

  • http://www.gamesthirst.com Ernice Gilbert

    Funny how you always defend Crytek and Crysis 2 lol

  • nick

    because people are crying over a freaking demo which is a few months old!
    for all we know all the problems with the demo could of been ironed out by now!

  • http://www.gamesthirst.com Ernice Gilbert

    Nonsense Nick. The PS3′s port is terrible and it says much that if it was another dev you’d be flaming the threads to hell, but because it’s Crytek you’re making from for leeway. Why release a bad demo if you know it’ll hurt sales, then? Makes no sense to me. Also, why was it released TWICE on Xbox 360 before coming to PS3? Say what you will, but the PS3′s version of Crysis 2 is shameful.

  • nick

    DUDE ITS A FREAKING DEMO!
    god, trying to get through to you is like trying to get through to a 80 year old granny set in her ways!

    lol, i love how you say do not judge a game by the demo and then you just judged PMH, and isn’t that the purpose of a demo not a beta. A beta is to test out the game and get problems fixed, like they did with Xbox and Pc, and a demo is a demonstration of what the game is suppose to be like, to give you an idea what the final product will be like. Well, they did not do a good job of making the final product look good. If it was just a few small problems then it would be okay, but it was many big problems and that left a bad taste. Now you tell me not to judge it, but that is the purpose of the demo and you are judging PMH. lol. The hypocrisy, and don’t say it is different because it isn’t. I just guess party games are too sophisticated for you. Also, if they are having this many network issues a few days before release, it is going to be horrible when it does release.
