Re: Crysis 3...
Started this morning and had all kinda of audio drop outs. Had to just skip one of the cut scenes because I was only gettin about 20% of the dialog. Not sure if it'll help but I just finished installing it.
Gameplay-wise I enjoyed the first level. How could you not with that bow? Taking down a copter with it was bad ass.
For reference I HATED the first 3 levels of C2.

Patch 1.1 will be a physical update requiring you to download it when prompted from Origin/XBL/PSN and contains numerous bug fixes and updates:
Fix for users getting stuck in the Pinger
Fix for Flashbang/Smoke grenade reactions not displaying in Kill Cam
Fix for crosshair becoming invisible after certain actions
Fixes for squads joining and disconnecting from servers
Fix for players being unable to fire or reload occasionally
Fix for users occasionally being able to hear VTOL damage siren constantly
Weapons retrieved from the ground now have the correct attachments
Fix for players getting stuck if ripping HMG off VTOL during destruction
Fix for being unable to detonate C4 after host migration on consoles
Fix for game not ending correctly if last opponent triggers a host migration
Fix for issue where sometimes rip and throw weapons would not deal damage in smoke grenades
Fix for relay in CTR becoming stuck if picking up relay during shotgun reload
Fix for icons disappearing occasionally in CTR
Fix for players occasionally spawning with wrong loadout in Assault (PC Only)
Last Man Standing no longer displayed in Hunter for players that have just died
Fixed issue with teams during host migration in Hunter/Assault
Significant optimisation to Medium detail settings (PC Only)
Particle optimisation (PC Only)
Single Player also receives the following fixes:
Fix for crash when loading a checkpoint under certain circumstances during <final sequences of the game>
Fix for the player not being able to pass the first hacking challenge in Jailbreak if the "melee" action is assigned on the "F" key
Fix for the Hammer pistol laser pointer attachment not being unlocked after completing Jailbreak which prevented players from reaching 100% completion
Fix for rare bug at the end of the River mission which resulted in the player losing most of their inventory, the possibility to pick-up items and the bow
Fix for lack of feedback sounds when the player pickups ammo from weapons on the floor
Data Patch B is a behind the scenes update and is automatically downloaded when entering Multiplayer. Patch B contains the following tweaks:
Melee whilst sliding damage reduced to match patch A's melee damage
Typhoon mid range damage reduction
Bow sensitivity reduced to match Assault Scope values on PS3/X360 as they have similar zoom values. PC remains as before
SCAR+Laser long distance effectiveness reduced.
Threat Awareness module levelling targets reduced to 3/10 enemy C4's destroyed
Potential fix for "Incoming!" Skill Assessment not levelling up correctly
Fix for Social Challenge skill assessments not being tracked correctly
If you see something like this at the bottom left of your main multiplayer screen, then you have the patch.
If you can not see it and this post says the patch is live, chances are your copy of the game didn't manage to download and verify it in time. Simply return to the Single Player menu and click back into Multi Player or restart the game, entering MP will usually resolve the issue as it will have been downloaded already but not verified.
If you do not have the patch you will be unable to play against players who do, so you may have less matches available to your (or no official dedicated servers on PC). This is very unlikely to happen and can be resolved by returning to the Single Player menu and back to Multi Player.
Some users have had problems downloading these data patches, usually due to Anti-Virus or Proxy issues, so if you have persistent problems, check this thread out for more information:

It is likely that these patches will not go live at the same time across all platforms so keep checking this thread as to when your platforms patches are live.

Re: Crysis 3...
From my experience with the game I'm not even sure those will catch all the problems. I played this and Aliens back to back and dare I say...I think I enjoyed Aliens a bit more? At least I could finish it and not have it crash during a reload at the final boss every time.

Re: Crysis 3...
Haha I was just going to post how bad this game is and how Aliens was more fun. Seriously, Crysis 3 is boring as hell, super glitchy, looks like poop and just overall below average for a FPS. I recall actually enjoying Crysis 2 I believe.

If anyone wants the Brawler Pack DLC for the 360, it's yours. First person to post in this thread they want it gets it.

Re: Crysis 3...
If you think the same broken down buildings and trees repeated 1000 times is the best looking game you have seen, then you haven't played many games. It's an extremely dark, bland mess. Pop in Dead Space 3 and get back to me.

Re: Crysis 3...
I rented it yesterday. Yeah, it's not very good, though hunting with the bow is all kind of fun until you lose your arrows. Once I was able to scan with my visor and find my stray arrows, but I never found that feature again. I played the first couple chapters and found the story very un-compelling. And Psycho is a grade-A asshole who I had no desire to keep following, but somehow is immortal no matter how many shots you fire into his cranium -- what the hell does he even need me for?
There were all sorts of audio glitches with the sound cutting out. Not that I really cared about the story, but it was still annoying.
It's a great looking game. discostu, I recommend you see an eye doctor, because if you think it looks like poop, you need glasses. That's the only thing (outside of the stealth armor and the hunting bow) that the game has going for it. Sure the environments aren't very exciting and the color palate is bland, but the visuals are sharp and crisp and the effects look great. Compare that to Aliens if you want to see what bad visuals look like.
So glad the folks here clued me in. Taking my sealed copy back to Best Buy and getting Tomb Raider instead.

I'm playing both right now, and C3 rapes DS3 in the graphics department; it has better textures, better polygon count, greater draw distance, etc, etc. It has better graphics in every objective way that they can be measured. Sure, you may like the art design in DS3 better, but that's subjective, and not at all what I was talking about.

Crysis on the PC may be a different story though.

...not even close. Entering space in Dead Space 3 is the single greatest example of amazing graphics this generation. Nothing comes close and I'm not even a huge DS fan. Crysis 3 sits firmly in the middle for overall graphics, behind games like Gears of War, Uncharted, Halo 4...even the Batman Games looked better.
Crysis on the PC may be a different story though.

Re: Crysis 3...
That's honestly how I felt about Crysis 2 (other than the "looks like poop" part -- seriously, the game was Call of Duty with some sci-fi elements but without any of the pizzazz) and if people here who somehow enjoyed that game feel this way about the new installment, I'm really glad I cancelled my pre-order.

The setting, graphics, and story were all so compelling in the first two.
I will say 3 looked good but the setting was so drab it didn't make the graphics seem great. The story was weak and uninspired. After loving the first two this one was way off base. The numerous bugs I ran in to certainly didn't help. When I can't even finish the game because of lock ups during reloads, that is a major problem.

Re: Crysis 3...
Just picked this up from the library last night and started playing and man, is this game underwhelming. It's just not clicking with me like Crysis 2 did. And don't even get me started on the audio issues. I don't know much time I spent installing the game, uninstalling the game, deleting and reinstalling patches, etc. and nothing helped. I got stuck on the part where the missiles kept locking on to you because I couldn't hear what the guy was telling me to do. So I turned the subtitles on in the game and muted it and turned on a podcast. It's just been a really frustrating experience so far, so I'm glad to hear it's a short game so I can finish it and return it.
