Crysis: No More Patches, Linux Server on Hold [Jun 01, 2008, 4:48 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Crysis Monthly Update #1 is online, the first of these regular updates from
Crytek about their shooter since they shifted from a weekly schedule. The update
elaborates on recent indications that console development is in Crytek's future
(story), describes efforts at fixing multiplayer disconnect
issues, and promotes an upcoming community Q&A session. They also offer the bad
news that they have put development of a dedicated Crysis Linux server on
hold because they are not happy with the state of the project, and that for
reasons they are unable to disclose at this time, "there almost certainly will
not be a patch 1.3 delivered for Crysis," in spite of the knowledge that this
will disappoint a good number of users:
So, What About Patch 1.3?
At this time, there almost certainly will not be a patch 1.3 delivered for Crysis. We are aware that this news will disappoint many of you, and we would like to apologize profusely. There is a good reason for this and we hope you understand when you hear more about the reasons why in the very, very near future. Please realize this was an extremely difficult decision, but please do know that we are listening to your comments and are making more consistent community support a high priority.
We are confident that the things we are working on will be appreciated by the community, and we hope for your continued support. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
Personally I find that most (not all) storylines for games over the years have not added much to the games. They provide a setting, beyond that they have been rather pointless. There is of course the exceptions, but does gaming NEED to have strong and well written stories to make a game good? No. And as far as I'm concerned that has never been the case with games. It's certainly a bonus when it does happen though.
I also don't care if we see games tackle heavy racial storylines, or kids and violence, etc, etc. Do we really want to see a game that pits blacks vs neo-nazi groups or allows people to chop up kids into little pieces (Manhunt isn't enough?)? What purpose does that serve? None, as far as I'm concerned. Of course someone has the right to make it, I just doubt I'll be buying a game that focuses on racism as it's main story and gameplay focus.
I buy games for gameplay, not for story. Never will you see me buy a game I think I will dislike the gameplay, just because it has a good story. But you will always see me choose a game with good gameplay even if the story sucks or is non-existant.
