How is stating anything else "blatantly false"? This sounds fucking silly, because it is, but provide some proof that it's "Blatantly false" it wasn't just solely focused on graphics. I can provide evidence to the contrary - gameplay videos. But I'm sure you can YouTube those. Crysis had ten times more gameplay than any of your CoDs released today. It had lots of pretty groundbreaking stuff, the whole open world GAMEPLAY being one of them. Only game to do that to any kind of comparable level before that was Far Cry. The suit and the powers was also a nice twist to the usual boring shooter gameplay. I don't like playing shooter singleplayers generally, but I liked Crysis 1, because of the gameplay...
Yeah, wouldn't want to hit "page 1" and find out, would you? Let me refresh your memory: you started arguing about it with me after someone asked about performance and I said it's still bad for how it looks like.
I think you should probably calm down before you have a heart attack there, sport.
Let's go back to page 1 then, shall we:
Not really. Still shitty as fuck FPS even though it looks like a game from 2006-2008.
I've got 8mb ram, i7-3770K at 4.5ghz and GTX 680 with 4000 MB memory.... still 5-15 FPS. In other words, makes aiming well impossible.
I'm still not sure what issue you're having, my specs are pretty much the same (actually a bit worse) and I can still run it on high with 30 - 50 FPS. As I previously stated, I guess it is your own opinion, but I agree with Applesauce and others that ARMA 3's graphics are actually quite superior to just about anything else on it's level. Skyrim's graphics were very sub-par, Battlefield 3 was impressive for the first day but then I realized that a blue tint can make anything look nice.
Your overall angry attitude and demeanor certainly leave you in an awkward position, since you repeatedly claim that the graphics are shit and that you get a shit frame rate. Not only is the imagination left picturing you smashing your keyboard, but you're also insinuating that the game itself is bad. Forgive me for confusing your rants and shitty comparisons for a poor review of a game that many of us hold dearly and have been anticipating for years. Maybe I was quick to be defensive, but my initial response was only met with you further complaining about the quality of the game.
Live and let live, you can enjoy your Crysis and Battlefield 3 all you want, but I'll stick with ARMA 3 since I personally find the gameplay to dwarf that of any other game mentioned here.
EDIT:
Back on the primary topic!
The changes made from the Alpha to the Beta certainly seem to have greatly effected the gun play and combat mechanics. Cover is much more essential and timing your shots while trying to maintain some stamina to steady your aim really does bring a whole new level to the gameplay itself.
I love the new Independents, since one of my primary issues with ARMA 3 is the futuristic element in itself. The Greek Army has a more modern day look to them, since the NATO forces look like ordinary futuristic soldiers (I dislike the new rifle BLUFOR units use) and the OPFOR units look like Cobra soldiers from G.I. Joe. I guess their look and weapons seem a bit more realistic to me, as do they to the guys I play with.
I haven't really fucked with PVP yet, but the Co-op is great, I just wish I could find a decent revive script or a more involved medical system (hopefully a version of ACE or something similar will come out soon). Being able to heal yourself without sitting up is pretty amazing too, since I can pull a bullet out of my liver while laying behind cover. Unlike ARMA 2 where you'd have to stand up and expose yourself to enemy fire.
From what I did play in PVP, I noticed that the Wasteland servers are very laggy, which is seemingly due to the large amount of shit being spawned and kept on the map at once. This was initially an issue with ARMA 2 as well, but over time it was fixed and Wasteland could run like a charm. I expect it won't be too long before we have the same with ARMA 3. What I mostly look forward to getting into though is Island Life and Warfare. Insurgency would be pretty sweet on this new engine, too.
