Then I must barely have a monster!

Wow, and this thing hasn't even had any modifications in over a year!

[Rob Oplawar]

Wahoo, my monster easily handles the recommended, not just the minimum. Wo0t! Now if only I didn't hate Vista so much, I could do it with DX10.

[Tweek]

oh no... i have created.. A MONSTER!!! D:!

Why did the post get warned?

Click the infraction icon and see for yourself. Actually, I'll save you the effort.

My guess is the whole 'run-on sentence lacking any semblance of decent punctuation' thing kind of caught Timo's attention.

Holy shit I have one monster of a PC >:U

No wait I can actually play crysis? o.O

That must be the super ultra bare bones minimum to run the .exe

Oh Lordy! My ancient Shuttle from my junior year of high school is a MONSTER!!! It's got teh 2.8GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, the Windows XP, and a 256MB video card!!!

Really, it's minimum requirements. The game will look terrible if you run it on those settings. As time goes by, hardware reqs go up. Playing Crysis with minimum hardware is like playing CE with an integrated video card. You need a DX10 card to get it looking pretty, a 7800ish to get it looking good, and 6800ish to get it looking decent. Anything below that and it'll just look bad

[Dr Nick]

Looks like the recommended requirements says I only need to upgrade my gfx card!
I can run it for now, but later on, I'll probably get one.

Hmm..

Low DX9, looks ok to me.

Terrible is reletive. Compare that to High on Dx10.

Looks pretty past-gen on low to me.

why hello there hard edges, no shadows, no occlusion maps, etc.

why hello there people to whom graphics are all important

Looks fine to me, I'd still play it regardless of how "last gen" it is. I still play dark forces 2 every once in a while.
