Crysis: Where is your God now?!

I wonder if its just the poor implentation of how its set up. NWN2 had graphical problems tnat even the best comps at the time couldnt accomplish even though there were half-a$$ed.

I remember when i got into some basic C++ programming about bragging to my friend that my program was "almost 1mb!". To me this implied something cool. His response, although a bit of a letdown, as very accurate: "Shouldn't you be striving for smaller programs?"

The point is, although the graphics are great in crysis, i'm not really sure why it should be celebrated that they are so taxing on our computers...

Yeah, what you say is true, but it's not like Crysis is so taxing on systems because it is poorly written. It is the most powerful and robust graphics engine available right now and looks fantastic. I think it is a different situation. They could have scaled it down so that it can be maxed on todays systems, but it wouldn't be as futureproof. We are celebrating the fact that a game looks so good and as hardware gets better, the game will only look better, we are not merely celebrating that the game brings our system to its knees.
