What is the point in having a very high setting if no one can run it even on top-end rigs? Your argument doesn't make any sense.

The game is effectively "broken" at the very high setting.

Who cares if a game has great graphics if no one can run the game at those settings?
Either you are forgetting the vast number of games we have always had this same issue with until real next-gen hardware was released; or you dont recall at all.

Quake 2, Quake 3, Doom 3, Anarchy Online, etc.. The list is very long. In every case I remember my top of the line hardware not running these games on their highest settings. It was not until the new generation of hardware that could more easily deal with the games that playing these games on max settings was possible.

Keep crying dude, no one cares.

Your point doesn't change the validity of my point that the very high setting is worthless, and that crysis is terrible at hardware optimization.

Games like Bioshock, WiC, COD4, look GORGEOUS and are PLAYABLE at the equivalent of very high settings. I would argue the boat scene in COD4 visually trumped any scence from Crysis. What did Crysis really have? Pretty leaves and grass?

Crysis = broken, which is why people have been waiting for patches to fix framrates since it was released.
Bioshock and CoD4 looked nowhere near as good as Crysis. The boat scene in CoD4 looked good, but you could easily tell the shaders and textures were aged. Only certain areas in CoD4 looked good. For bioshock - Yeah it looked good, but it still had 'shiny' everywhere. Crysis looks amazing on High settings. The only difference between High and Very high is the color accuracy. Crysis is not broken. Anyone who has a system that can at least run it on Medium settings knows this. The game looks incredible, and if it weren't for the really bad AI, it would have been a much better game.

You keep forgetting that the 'equivalent' of very high settings in the games you mentioned are the equivalent to medium settings at most in Crysis. WiC is the only exclusionary to this - But try playing WiC on max settings. It runs into the same issues in DX10 mode.
