    A great deal @€;2.49 but I just can't support a company that holds back on essential game content under the guise of "DLC"... The €3.74 Deluxe Edition only contains two extra guns which were always in previous incarnations of this game anyway (Gauss rifle certainly was).

    Gonna have to vote with my wallet here and skip this.

    When Crysis 1 came out, I thought it looked epic, but my PC couldn't render the graphics and I ended up not buying it. Since then my PC has had some performance mods, so Crysis 3 should run on it now. Nice find OP.

    Surely voting with your wallet can be done by not paying full price, and waiting to get the game for half the price of a pint?

    Amazed by the graphics in this thing... playing on a 55" TV. Like being in a movie :)

    At €2.49 for the game, your gonna find it a really struggle when you move out of your parents house.

    Whoosh.

    It's the principle of what EA are doing I object to. Take a look at the bigger picture and ask yourself where this level of nickel & diming leads to in the future...

    Aye I was well surprised my PC could run the game with all settings fairly maxed out. The game is approx 3 years old so any new-ish systems should run it no problems (I built my PC back in 2014).

    I put the game on my SSD rather than HDD as well just to aid with performance.
