Crysis - Who has it?

[TheSilentAssassin]

can crysis be bought at any store now?
what are the recommended system requirements?

yes, and if you have to ask, your machine probably can't run it

Dual Core processor, 2 Gb RAM, high-end Nvidia or ATI graphics card (8800 variant or 2900 variant). You might be able to get away with an older high end Nvidia card 7950GT/GX2, etc.), though you'll have to turn some stuff down/run at a lower res (640X480 ftw).

Not good enough!?! Time for upgrades!!!

Dell XPS 410
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 (2.13 GHz, 1066FSB) with 2MB Cache rated at about 5.75 GHz
3GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
256MB Nvidia GeForce 7900GS
250GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM)
16X DVD+R/RW CD-RW Combination Drive
Intergrated Audio
Logitech MX5000 Mouse and Keyboard Combo
Logitech X-230 2.1 Configuration Speakers System
Logitech Premium Notebook Headset w/mic
Linksys WRT54G Router
Samsung SyncMaster 170MP
375 w PSU (standard dell power supply unfortunately...)

I'll hopefully get it for Xmas. It's not a priority for me as i doubt i'll be playing the multiplayer too much, especially with UT3 coming out.

Kyle, the only thing holding you back there is the 7900GS. That will choke on the higher polygon/advanced effect environments that Crysis offers. You'll probably be able to run it at 30fps, but on medium or possibly low, again at a lower resolution.

And 375 PSU? Yeah.....that's no good

I got rooked over like a a cheap prom date at my Circuit Chitty !! First of all, two store employees checked stock after I found a bare shelf and both said they were out of stock. So I grabbed CoD4 and headed for the checkout. I passed yet another employee and asked him if they had any copies. His reply "Oh yea, we keep 'em in the back room' ... WTF!! ???!! Great place to sell your games !! Anyhoo, I got to the counter and it rang up at 49.99. I said 'Hmm, the flyer has it at 39.99'. Off to find a manager he went, then comes back telling me that I had to have signed up for this Gamer Card ad at the bottom of the page showing the PC games for sale to get the 39.99 price !!! OK, fine, ring me up at 49.99 and I'll take the $10 GC at least .. ohh noo, sir !! again, that gift card is only available for Gamer Card carrying members. So I got no damn deal at all, and it seems like everyone else did but me ... I'll try the demo which I downloaded yesterday and if I don't like it, they can have their sealed Crysis copy back ... jerks ..

My copy is going back to Circuit Chitty today. They either honor the price mistake and give me the $10 gift card or they get it back and I buy from Frys for $39.99. I should have never left the store after they backed out of honoring both even tho it was in their flier.

No way I should have to get played by some cash register monkey who doesn't want to give me the quoted price.

WT, you just got saddled with idiots. Demand the manager or whoever is in charge today, and get him to honor the ad. The 39.99 price does not require the gamer card--all that does is give you an additional 10 percent off. The gift card's only restriction is that you have to use in on a future visit. Raise enough of a stink and they'll set you right.

Well, heres what a return trip got me. I went to Customer Service to gripe about this mess and they held firm on the $49.99 price, but gave me the gift card that I never received. Her explanation was 'You are essentially buying the game for $39.99 and getting the gift card for yourself for $10'.

Umm, the ad states that I get a FREE GC with PURCHASE !! It doesn't say I have to PAY $10 FOR A GIFT CARD !!!!! Amazing .. I assume this is yet another reason why I shouldn't buy an EA game. Regadless, I paid $10 extra, and now have to give my business back to CC on the $10 card.

Circuit City sucks. Best Buy ftw!

Wow this game is fun singleplayer. I'm at the part where you just get out the anti-gravity place. That was awesome.

[Grisu]

My copy is still on way.

Want to play...

Getting out is the fun part of that level mate.
