If i was to build the cheapest pc ever (No keyboard etc) while being able to play crysis with very high settings what do you think the price will be around?
Try and be reasonable for e.g. there was a 20gb harddrive and a 320gb harddrive, choose the one that you think everyday gamer will need
i will be using windows 7 64-bit. My budget build is $1000

Crysis is no where near a bad game. Crytek's mistake was announcing the game so far ahead of its release, giving it too much hype. What that meant is that whether or not it was successful, people would hate it just for the sake of doing so. Another problem is the many people will see the amazing graphics and figure that the game is nothing more than graphics. Now the game is not as intense as say... call of duty, but it is still a great game. In my opinion, it started to fall off around the alien part, i think everyone will agree there. But then there is Warhead, which fixed everything, better in every way.
 


The part where you deal with Koreans is better , but still not good .


It amazes me that crytek got it so wrong after Far Cry was so right .
