the reviews are not good

some of them are

some of them are not

yeah

they are neutral

most of them appear to be complaints about bugs and server lag, which is.. pretty much the norm tbh

I did initially see the scores and was like 'aw man this game can't suck, can it?'

it's on alpha

so they might fix the problems

I'd like to see Crytek do something cool

I mean, something beyond glorified tech demos

Far Cry was cool when it came out

And "can it run Crysis?" was a thing for a long time

yeah, me too

specially because they are not going well

ooo

it's #2 on the top sellers though

my mouse pointer is hovering over it

wait

be strong

Crytek was suing Star Citizen because Crytek developers were fleeing to work for Star Citizen.

i thought it was for other reason

Oof.

what i heard, they are suing them because they used the engine for another game that it wasn't in the agreement

On the surface, yeah.

Basically they were offering jobs to the Crytek employees to work on another game. Crytek employees didn't get paid in full or something for a while.

There was quite a bit going on behind the scenes.

where you saw that?

fuck it, I'll buy it, see how it goes

looks like something that works more with a partner or a squad

>Regardless of that crytek's whole misfortune began and was caused by their odd and sudden rapid expansion a few years ago.
>
>They went from a studio that made Crysis and a pretty good engine to a company with development studios all over the world each working on their own games. God only knows where they got the idea or money for this growth but it was a giant mistake and it's kind of shocking that it didn't put them completely out of business within a couple of years.
>
>From the outside it looks like Crytek wanted to become the next UbiSoft. The problem with that is UbiSoft was much bigger than Crytek when Ubi started it's large growth cycle. Essentially as soon as Ubi got that Tom Clancy license and they used it to make some pretty epic games back in the day they became set.

>Crytek doesn't have anything like that. They can't fall back on a license if one of their games is bad. If one of their games is bad it just won't sell.
>
>Such a weird Company who's upper management needs to be purged.

but we'll see. I usually wind up lone wolfing most fuckin' games which is entertaining and an extra challenge in of itself

Crytek sounds like it's fallen into the trap that most companies (and indeed nations) can fall into

expanding too quickly

>Apparently, when CIG decided to break away from CryEngine, that was a breach of Crytek's partnership with CIG.

Even the company that makes (*made) those red cups you see in every frat house party expanded too fast and busted itself

come to think of it
