So has anyone even gotten this game yet?! I just finally installed it today and started playing it and i just want to say that the graphics are extremely beautiful. I havent enabled anti aliasing yet as my SLI video card got RMA'ed and i havent gotten a replacement yet so ill wait until i turn everything else up to the max, but even so, it is a beautiful world. HUGE environments, the skills that you get are pretty neat, easy to learn but learning how to use them effectively is a challenge when you have 10 koreans shooting at you at once. Seems kind of unrealistic because 3 or 4 shots to the chest dont kill them, you have to have like 5 or 6 chest shots or a headshot. Headshots take em out in one hit. That's nice. Story is kinda cool, aliens and all. Voice acting could be a bit better, but not bad.

Head shots would be better to body shots because ALL the Koreans wear body armour. That's why they're so tough to kill. I'm on the last level. It's nuts on the deck of an Aircraft Carrier. Good luck. The game is really fun to play, in a macabre way.

So you're telling me someone sat down, played Crysis, and was like "Hmmm... that was fun, but you know what would make it more fun? If we beefed up the resolution on everything!" confused

Yeah I got Crysis for Christmas. I hadn't installed it until about two weeks ago. I had gotten a new computer around Christmas, and its extremely nice, however the graphic card was the only thing I felt needed to be replaced from its out of the box condition. I haven't gotten one yet, but I finally got to the point where I decided I'd play without it. It still runs smoothly on low settings, but I felt that Crysis shouldn't be played on low. Oh well, I will have plenty of time to go back and play it again. I'm not too far in however, I just discovered the excavation site and the scientist just got frosted. Excellent game. Not only in the graphics but in the gameplay. I feel like they took the best aspects from Far Cry and made them even better by adding the stealth elements and just a hundred tiny things that make Crysis feel like the a perfectly formulated melting pot of games.

You can't use DX10 with XP. It's Vista-exclusive.

Expansion trailer: Warhead. Feels to me that it's going to be like Half-Life 1 -> Opposing Forces; Crysis 1 -> Warhead. However, Warhead is made by Cryteck still, which means this can be good.
