lukipela: No, it isnt valid. Just because you expect something, does not mean that expectation is valid.
I have serious doubts you even played the first crysis.
haven't played the second one only and warhead. the orginal i did play but not sure why you are bringing this up. what has me having played or not played the game to do with anything?
and i am saying it is valid. there was quite vocal group about the game disappointed that crysis 2 is just another cross platform fps title and does do what was expected from the developers.
people who made far cry which pushed the open world system and graphics to the max
and so did crysis 1
the complainst about duke were the same 10 years ago. dn3d was great and all but it still didn't change the fact it was not the continuation of the series.\
if crysis 2 had different title or was made by different company then that would not be an issue.
but it was crysis and it was from crytek. that makes the expecations valid.
