Crysis 2 Is a PC Game First, Console Game Second, Claims Crytek

From what I'm reading on many different forums is that the game is good on PC but does not compare to the technological showcase that is the original(Which I still use as a benchmark). The other thing I'm picking up on is that if a PC Gamer has an issue with the fact that Crysis 2 does not push the limits of what custom rigs are capable of they are immediately branded "Elitists" Why? Because we dare to call out a developer for a sub par PC game? Even if the PC version isn't a direct console port you cannot deny that it was developed with the console in mind and that is Crytek's biggest failing.

Can run on a low-end PC huh?

Clearly they weren't talking about my low-end PC. >_<

Right. PC gamers are blind apparently.

I don't think they are blind, just pissed. I was a PC gamer for over 10 years, but got tired of sinking ungodly amounts of money into my machines to play a particular game. If I spend upwards of $2000 on a machine, you better believe that I am going to get pissed at a developer who is selling me a port of a console game.

Honestly, if you spend any more than $800-$1000 on just a gaming PC, you're doing it wrong.

OT: One PC gamer to another, mate. If you want devs/pubs to take you seriously, stop acting like 5 year olds.

I believe I said "upwards," buying a gaming PC in the early 90's was not a cheap time to game. And I am talking about high end not a cheap Alienware Dell, Mate!

How would even call the graphics settings "Gamer", "Advanced" and "Hardcore"? That's totally nondescript! Not that I had any interest in this to begin with, but this certainly isn't helping.

So, I'm guessing we will never see an SDK?
