Ah, So That’s Why Crysis 3′s First Level Is So Terribly Slow

If you’ve played Crysis 3 on the PC, you’ve probably noticed that the first level, even on a powerful system, chugs. Badly. It gets you off on the wrong foot with the game, because you start worrying more about hardware than the experience, and that sucks.


Reviewers Think Crysis 3 Is Really, Really Pretty (Surprise!)
