Crysis came out a good time, when awesome technical graphics actually mattered.
No one cares about graphics anymore. I mean, if something looks abhorrently awful, to the point of being broken, that's not good. But games like Fallout and Dragon Age are hardly visual masterpieces, yet people love them because of the game play. Same with the independent stuff released on the online marketplaces, or just about anything to come out on the Wii. It's not about graphics anymore, and aside from pretty technical graphics, Crysis 2 just looks like another 'me-too' shooter.
