Crysis 2 leaked almost 50 days early

[The Witcher]

HEHEHEHE, I've just found the correct torrent, tomorrow is going to be the big day, I'm feeling guilty already....

EDIT: DAMN, 1800 leechers and 100 seeder, this is going to take forever

Its not wrong to dl this if I plan to buy it anyway right?

i think technically since everyone will have the same activation files its breaking the DCMA

Your ISP won't think so if they decide to watch you and catch you doing it. You buy the copy you get.

That's what M$ thought when I donwloaded cod mw2 on the 360. I got it, beat it before it came out and got banned. Served me right too. Still worth it gloating to my friends though.

You know what, I'm going to kill the hype, I've removed the link.

Not so sure how I feel about all this "I will down load it now and buy it later so that's ok" argument.

If the game is really good, I might buy it straight up for $90 (aus prices). If the game is average but still worth a run through eg Crysis Warhead, I will wait for a while and buy at $30-40.

If I had already played the pirated version though, there is no chance I would bother with buying it, even cheap if it was worth a play through but not great, because I had already played it through pirated. Yet the developer still deserves some money for the game. It was worth playing, just not awesome.

So I ask, if the game was ok and a bit of fun but not awesome, will those of you who downloaded it still pay for it?

Also the argument, that oh well, they let it get stolen so it's ok if I grab a copy now, is a little self serving. Just because someone leaves there car unlocked and it gets broken into, doesn't mean I can now rumage through what the thief left behind or scattered on the footpath. That is someone else's stuff and will always be someone else's stuff until I buy it from them or they give it to me. No matter how dumb they were leaving the car unlocked.

On good news for pc games, sales in Australia are growing, by 7% last year not counting digital purchases.

This bodes well for the argument that it is worth developing for and can be a growth market rather than one of perpetual decline.

I hope Crytek doesn't loose too much $$$ over this, they have been pushing the envelop for pc games and they really need the support

this is why you don't use public sites / trackers

To be honest, I've downloaded many pirated games before the offical release, I once downloaded Mass Effect 2, three weeks before the actual release + DA:O and I ended up buying them all because I really liked the games.

Beside I'll buy Crysis 2 because of the MP + continues patching.

I hope the rest feel and act the way you do. People deserve payment for their work. I realise the desire to play it "right now" is a strong one as well, which I suspect may be the main motivator for many.

Your comment too about "continuous patching" highlights a way for developers to help ensure that people feel like a product is worth paying for. Ongoing support and expansion of the orginal product, available to registered legit owners.

It appears to be a beta version.

 

[The Witcher]

Description: This is the full version, but an early build, leaked to the network. You can run any level, there are rollers,

etc. But it is visible that the beta - some of the inscriptions are not final, etc.

 

[copenhagen69]

Stop taking part of Crytek. They deserve this. If they are so incompetent and not able to control all their employees NOT to take the game home or uploaded to torrents, is their fault! Is even worst if they keep all their files on servers accessible to outside.

So, they don't need to be pissed of on PC gamers or PC gaming generally speaking, because is not their (or ower...) fault!!!!! CAPISCI!??

Surely this could only come from inside Crytek. How else would it get out. If that is the case then I think Crytek need to look at improving in house security.

+1

 

[TAViX]

Played the first mission already from the beta DEMO, game is superb, but only dx9 (don't know how to set it dx10..). But Crytek should relax, I'll buy this game anyways.

 

[kid41212003]

TWO WORLD II was leaked 2 months b4 the game was released. I'm not really surprised.

Ahahaha, the beginning of the video fits the current situation

someone at ea or crytek has been a very very naughty boy!

[warup89]

BOOHOO, BOOOHOOO HOOO.

Jeesh guys, stop crying over this. this happens all the time, last one I remember was Bioshock 2 I believe. People are just "hurt" because this is a well know anticipated game. But still there are a lot of loyal customers out that would rather wait. I'm going to pass on this and wait till I buy the game and have that great feeling of anticipation while opening and installing it.

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

It's sad really, I planned on purchasing this once it was in the bargin bin about a month after launch because it will be FAIL, now PC gamers will recive no patches and it will be even worse, and laden with so much DRM that it will be nearly unplayable!

Another victory for the 13 y/o console retards.

 

[TAViX]

again, this beta is so full of bugs is something to get scare off. The 64 bit version crashes like a champ, there are no detailed graphics option, missing a lot of sounds, or sound sounds like strange, text missing a lot, buggy scripts, etc, etc. The thing is, as far as I can tell with max details setting + 4xAA (or 8xAA...I don't know) I've got constant 50-60fps. GREAT.

 

[ctrain]

Game will hang if you try to use settings other than "Gamer"... which it alternately labels as LOW SPEC.

Missing textures, incredibly flakey graphics, spotty performance in general.


It's beta in the truest sense of the word. Not very playable or fun in its current state.

It's Crytek/EA's mistake, they keep spending tens of millions on making games yet they fail to have a decent security

EDIT: I'm starting to think about deleting the torrent, it's too slow (2 kb/s) and I'm starting to have this annoying feeling that I might have destroyed all the anticipation factor.

EDIT: ok ok, I deleted the torrent, it's gonna be a very long 59 days...., they should give me something for buying their game now.....

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

I was thinking the same this leak came from crytek I didn't go steal the game one of their employees did maybe they should not blame people for downloading something their employee let out.

But you don't have the right to download it.

Indeed the leak shouldn't have happened, but that doesn't make it okay to download it.:shadedshu
