Yeah - I've been playing it for console.  It really shows me that apart from MMO and RTS, the ports these days are going from console to PC, not the other way around.

So, just finished both of these games today.  I have to completely agree with you.  Crysis 2 felt like they are trying to set up Prophet to be the new Master Chief.

And Portal 2?  That was awesome!

Apparently a DX11 patch is in the works. Consequently, a lot of folks are now complaining that there's no DX10 support :lol: I think they are missing the point that whilst a DX10 level card may lack features like hardware tessellation, it can still accomplish other DX11 feats. Perhaps they'll put a bit of DirectCompute into the physics. That'd be nice.

All in all, I'd still settle for just a proper "Save Game" feature. The checkpoint based save is just outright killing the enjoyability of the game. I haven't actually finished it yet because playing it has become more of a chore. Too many times you encounter a sudden death moment caused by yet-another-wave-of-spawned-enemies-at-an-awkward-moment (yeah, that never gets tired as a gameplay feature) a decent stretch of time after the last checkpoint and boom, you have to play it out again.

Stealth mode is key.  I pretty much followed this procedure:

1.  Stealth run with HUD up until enemies appear.
2.  Hide behind something until all enemies are marked.
3.  Stealth kill until noticed.
4.  bullet hose.
5.  grab/throw for those who made it into melee range.
6.  GOTO 1

I'm looking for an up-to-date game with "online" to play.

Minecraft!  :lol:


Seriously, I am completely addicted to that game...:(
