Can I Play Crysis 3 When It Comes Out?
Everyone knows that PC games are always going to have a leg up on consoles for one simple reason, hardware. The simple fact that you can purchase bits of hardware to make your super awesome games even more super awesome-er.
This is also the pitfall of many games like Crysis. Games should be made with some balance of current hardware and gameplay. Not made with the intent of forcing gamers to drop a cool grand on hardware upgrades just to play the greatest game anyone has ever seen.
Crysis has always been the benchmark for what level of awesome is your computer. So what about Crysis 3, what will you need to be boss of the LAN party (do they still have those?)

Sad Face.
