"doesn't look right at all"

Just fucking say it Alex! He looks like a fucking zombie!

I thought something was off in the intro. They didn't add the volumetric clouds back.

He thankfully ends up criticizing it somewhat

I'm gonna go play the original with Maximum Immersion Mod while sobbing :peepoolCry:

@matrix sorry, crytek is just too busy working on helping with preorder for preorder for preorder of star citizen
@matrix that's news to me but then again i'm not surprised

@hj Well, it technically does. It uses Lumberyard which is Amazon's fork of CryEngine.

@matrix just pirate the original one
some people take poorly optimized games and just think that it takes a supercomputer to run it even though it's just shoddy coding.
@matrix they fucking pulled a GTA mobile port on crysis
@LukeAlmighty @matrix rockstar didn't make the remastered GTA 3 trilogy mobile ports.
a company completely butchered the game, making the game unplayable, and the fact that in the 10+ years of it being out, they never bothered to fix any of the bugs. that and they ported it to the consoles without making any changes to the code, in fact the console remasters are the wort offenders. https://youtu.be/jhVdb4K1M-M
@LukeAlmighty @matrix and that some of the updated textures are worse than the original. it's total garbage.

@Jessica @matrix
What the fuck??? How many downgrades can you even possibly push into a single remaster???

@matrix also not a fan of the fact that they basically made the game look like you changed your monitor settings to vivid
@matrix also really hate the fact there's no manual or even quick save. not everyone can just keep playing until you reach a checkpoint
@matrix what is it with modern games that intentionally don't let you manually save. it's just cancer.
@matrix Literally games from the 90's let you save whenever you fucking want

@Jessica Precisely, having manual saves allows you to fuck around more.

@matrix also means you don't have to watch a cutscene every 5 seconds if you can't make a jump, just press the quick load and you're right back in seconds

@Jessica A bit, some parts are overblown while others are washed out.

@matrix @Jessica ...

There are many reasons...ridiculous DRM, full ownership of the property...

I am not a fan of piracy (anymore) but I greatly understand its appeal

@realcaseyrollins @Jessica
Yeah, there are fair amount of cases where the pirated game gives you a better experience due to the DRM being removed although in this case, the answer is GOG.

@Jessica @matrix I buy the stuff and then remove the #DRM. A triple whammy of the things I want:

1) Ethical? Check
2) No #DRM? Check
3) Extremely high quality? Like, the highest you can possibly get? Check

The most annoying thing about pirated movies and shows (low quality and loss of subtitles) is completely eliminated by buying the stuff on #BluRay or #iTunes

@matrix brutal and noted. will tell people I know to skip.

@LoliKing Sadly yes, just buy the original, just not from Steam, that version is broken.

@matrix @LoliKing buy the GOG version, i pirated mine because i don't feel like buying a game that i don't know if I'll like or not.
also sidenote: buy the GOG version of anything, it's worth not having to crack your own game

@Jessica @matrix I tend to buy gog simply because it seems to run better on linux. even if it says its unsupported

@LoliKing @matrix because the DRM isn't there, DRM will always take a chunk of performance, even just steam, it's also DRM by itself.

@matrix @LoliKing
Sorry, I just somehow cannot comprehand that they took the most modern technologies and their unlimited budget to make a 13 year old game look worse... :pepeDread:

At least there seems to be a sea of technical knowlage comming from many videos that will be created about this trainwrack.

@LukeAlmighty @matrix @LoliKing it's sad because they picked the best possible game to port to mobile, since it has missions and you can fuck about and cause mahem, but such is life
