Unfortunately, it's the ones who complain about gameplay who always seem to bring up system specs first. For example:

And the combat system of switching different suit modes was a pain to use on the fly.
If the game runs poorly on your system you are going to have a bad experience with it, peroid. Of course the weapons aren't going to work well since the timing is going to lag.
I just finished Crysis. And I'll have to admit that it lacks a bit in the playability department when compared with other games. Crytek needs to concentrate more on the gameplay rather than their game engine, which, as a programmer, I can say their engine seriously kicks ass.
Far Cry was very annoying--which was a big part of the fun for me. If you did not like Far Cry, you will not like Crysis. There is simply no accounting for taste.
I will make one last attempt to return to the original subject for this thread. If all you want to do is complain about how you don't like Crysis then please don't waste my time.
