Crysis 3

[Dungeoncrawler]

Haven't seen this posted before. It seems like the performance problems in the first level are caused by the moving ropes

http://maldotex.blogspot.sk/2013/02/...rst-level.html

The intro level is a bad place to have aberrant performance issues. I'd really like to see how games are bug tested these days?

[Mangler]

That explains why a small room is more demanding than the rest of the game.

Started really playing it today. So far so good. Hate the consoled check point bullshit. Performance is good on my tri 670s @ 1600p. Do notice I am hitting at 194x vram usage according to afterburner. I was running an older driver then I updated the the latest nv driver for crysis 3 ( huge difference). Game play wise somehow seems a tad tougher than 2? Graphics = very nice. Kind of reminds me of the days when I tried to play Crysis on 8800GTX sli with max settings @ 1600p but now looks even better and not getting 5fps lol.

So far I really like the feedback on this one. Not enough, however, to drop $60 on it. I'll wait for an amazing sale on Steam or Origin before snagging it. Should give me more time to catch up on my backlog.

I only paid 40 for the hunter edition. Just check online for a cdkey

Btw the review **********s that were saying the game is 5 hours were downright lying. I have about 5 hours reported in origin whereas, the game timer says about 3 hours 45 minutes since it resets everytime you re-spawn after dying

The game is easily about 7-8 hours when playing on harder difficulties. I am playing on one less than hardest available option and it is a blast to play through

I keep getting interrupted. Game will last 30+ hours for me.

[demo]

Same here, been playing on hard and it's taking quite a while, plus the scenery is so nice I have been exploring all the levels.

What kind of destructibility is there now in the game? Can you destroy stuff like buildings like you could in Crysis 1?

[icecold1983]

some scripted destruction, thats about it

[majstrzvasi]

On my crossfire setup 6970 game runs decent on high settings SMAA1x i am hitting 60fps most of the time there are some fps drops and my gpu load is a little strange GPU2 Works 99% GPU1 works 70-75%. I think there is much room for improvements there. Oh and game feels lagy like crysis 2 multiplayer so i enabled DFC and vsynic and it works nice much more responsive and smooth except for that fps drops. Nice game
I hated Crysis 2 SP it sucked ass Crysis 3 is better for me crysis 1 is still the winner.

Go to cd key site (cdkeysdiscount).
Get Crysis 3 for 39$
Register on Origin
...
Profit!

i have this message on my order-

Awaiting Staff Approval

how long does it normally take?

[majstrzvasi]

Oh and i am reading about the graphics graphics are good indeed difference between Very high seetings and low settings if we leave the texture to very high is not that much so i think for few dx11 effects on vh settings it is not worth the performance droop. I played 2 first missions in sp and game is very linear like crysis 2 i expected more freedom.

The order I placed this afternoon took 5 minutes after I received the order confirmation email.

[KAC]

Them gays jacked the price. Lol.

[**G.I.BRO**]

Yup... so i ended up buying it through Origin, still a bit pricier but because those [email protected] raised the price so i was a bit pissed and just sent my monies to EA

Game is pretty intense, graphics are truly wonderful and the gameplay is pretty sweet. Still tinkering around with the settings, but with my specs im able to run it at everything set to Very High, except shading/shadows which is set for medium, and the FPS is pretty stable. Sometimes it dips down a bit but its not earth shattering where i cannot play, its just not as smooth. If i drop my res down to 19x12 its smooth but this game is just so damn sexy at such high res... like holy [email protected]!! Tried MP for a bit, its a bit of meh... just seems like a lot of run and gun tho i still need more practice and time to get used to it.

I havent played much yet, but i still wished the playable world was as large or vast as what C1 was... still feels somewhat linear but with a bit more leeway.

[spyre]

Just finished it, and I was taking my time so it is fairly short. Overall not too bad, some bugs though like a bridge that raises and then raises again as you walk towards it and the switch to lower it was out of the way so I spent a while trying to find out how to lower it. Just seems a bit unpolished in places. Had some AIs that fell through the world like on the dam for example.

[nycdarkness]

Just finished as well. Anyone else get temporary audio clipping during some scenes?

[spyre]

The music does just stop for no reason in some places when it shouldn't do, very odd.

[DigitalDemon]

Is the in game supplied 3D option like power3D? As in 2D+depth? I am getting a 3D effect but it doesn't feel like true 3D.

[Mangler]

Yes, it is "fake" 3d.

[demo]

Yah, 2.5D.


Graphics in this game are simply amazing tbh, with real AA instead of the post process filters it looks very sharp and clean. Geat effects and animations too, although I encountered a couple jittery AI bugs here and there.

Map design is excellent, sure its a little linear but there's enough room to take alternate paths and stuff, but imo there is some quality level design and mapping skills in this game.

[KAC]

Maps are amazing. I loved being able to take a vantage point, scout around, then bitch slap aliens with bow and/or duck in water, observe paths of aliens and take 'em out. The visor is a bit OP because line of sight is not required but in harder difficulty it is actually a fantastic game and a great challenge. AI takes 3-5 shots to bone my ass.

I got a free Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite for I purchased a Gigabyte 7950...but I'm not so sure about it if I really want to play Crysis 3... because of stupid EA Origin.

[demo]

Would love to see a more covential online military shooter on this engine. Infact I wouldn't mind making a few maps for this game as it is, have they released SDK tools?

Origin

[Ego]

I seriously dislike their 3D implementation. Not that it matters considering it rapes my FPS, but still.

So I've restarted it on Post Human Warrior. It's enjoyable because it forces me to play stealth, and really pay attention. It's not enjoyable because it kinda defeats the point of you being the supreme fighting machine, wearing a kick ass suit with all sorts of superhuman abilities.

Graphics overall...best looking game ever, imo. It's also really shocking how good it looks on lower graphical presets, on medium it's still better than nearly everything out there, especially when tweaked with the CVAR editor in order to get rid of crap like chromatic aberration and sharpening.

Concerning optimizations...I still think it could run better, there are areas where the FPS drops for no reason, others where the GPU utilization goes below 50%, and I hope some patches will fix some of that stuff.

What is your concern about Origin?

Yeah I think it's the best looking game ever released too. On very high with real AA it just looks incredible. Performance is a little draining but I'm sure there are optimisations to be made through both game patches and drivers.

I hope they release an expansion/sequal to this like warhead too.

It's not steam. :|

[KAC]

I hope they load this mother****er up with DLC up the wazoo. I can take 30 dollar worth of more DLC since I got the game for about 30 boners.

I am willing to buy it from you for $25 (serious offer, don't shoot me if disagree). PM if interested.

Edit: I am talking about Crysis 3 only.

[Jaillum Malord]

Anyone tried this Linkage for some free performance? I would but i do not have the game yet

Tri-sli system, turns down the settings with the highest visual impact to low/med.

[demo]

Did you watch it? He has some tool that helps with CPU limited games, I wanna try it in a few games actually. He gained ~15-20fps.

[Mangler]

Yes I watched it, I just found it silly that a guy with a tri-sli system runs the game at low/medium at 1440p.

[Hapatingjaky]

He has Quad 680's and removed one to prepare for TRI Titans he bought lol. The guy is an idiot.

But I will try the tool. Should have stayed home from work today.

Ha I missed the bit he showed his settings, I thought you were being sarcastic. Lol you're right, except I think its at 1080p 120hz :S

I tried the tool out and not a single fps difference, I even dropped to 720p and no AA and still no change.

Thing is though, I'm getting around the same frame rate as him at 1440p max settings with 4xAA in the first place (before he changed his tool), something isnt right on his system to have to run low-med settings like at 1080p.

[Mangler]

Looked at his gallery at the 120hz forum, I think he has a 100hz+ catleap monitor, so he should be using 1440p.

And still gain 20FPS....

The tool is just like core unparker isn't it?
