Crysis 3

I got a key yesterday. Will probably get around to playing it in a bit.

Maybe the game is just badly optimized right now. Crysis 2 was running well on older systems in its alpha state (albeit, the quality of the graphics weren't as high as they should have been).

How do you use the console? ~ isn't working, and I can't find any options that let me enable it.

Just use an autoexec file. Those worked for crysis 2.

If ~ isn't working, they're either keeping you from using it in the .cfg or through code. The .cfg is read after post-init, so add it in there.

Funny thing about this was that most of Crytek didn't know nVidia was going to distribute keys for the alpha. It was, afterall, an alpha and not really meant for widespread distribution. They're more interested in how people feel about the gameplay over any technical problems with it.
Crysis 2 didn't have a public alpha. They beta they distributed was a RC for the 360.

Making an autoexec worked (you have to copy system.cfg and rename it, or actually people say you can just add your commands to the system.cfg).

Unfortunately the game still ran at a blazing 15-20 FPS with the ever present stuttering. e_tesselation 0 didn't seem to do anything, and I know the config is working because I also put in g_skipinto 1 and that worked just fine.

Sigh.

Edit: Also does anyone know how the fuck you get to the Alpha forums?

As far as I know, there aren't any. It wasn't supposed to be a widespread thing.

Just played to about Level 6. Pretty fun, but it's easily in Alpha. A lot of Framerate issues and I think Ping is pretty hiccupy in most games for everyone (so far I see no one with less than 150). It needs a lot of optimization and the Motion Blur mixed with Lens Flare is ridiculous. I changed my graphics from High to Medium because I wanted better performance, then from Medium to Low because of the same reason, and finally I realized that there isn't much a difference other than my being able to have slightly better FPS in firefights. It needs a lot of optimizing quite frankly.

Gameplay is fun, but limited. The Gunner build is very noob-friendly and easy, but I find it a lot of fun and very easy to have fun with. I hardly use the Nano Suit's abilities because I'm still relatively new, but I'm getting there. I hate how messy and limited the current UI is though, especially since it won't let you do any customizing. But it is an Alpha and for an Alpha it is pretty freaking cool.
