[citation][nom]amk-aka-phantom[/nom]I'm trying, I'm trying, and I keep failing... I don't understand how one can game on an oversized N-Gage... I don't understand - WHAT does PC gaming need to do to make people turn away from these toys? Flexibility - check. Modding - check. Gameplay - check. Graphics - double check. Variety of games available - triple check. And still it's not enough...[/citation]
lets go modding specifically. so few games let you realy mod anymore. and the ones that do, have horrific ways you mod.
take oblivion or minecraft.
oblivion was hell to add mods, and the game needed mods to give the game legs
minecrafy you have to go into a rar like folder delete part of the rar, than add things into that rar. THAN those thins have to be EXACTLY matching with your version of the game, and if you version + you lose all your mods.
seriously, a complete revamp of the whole how users mod needs to take place.

im sorry, but do you understand nothing about game engines at all? crytech 2 was an abomination of a poorly coded engine, that brute forced everything.
crytech 3 is as good at 2, but doens't brute force things, its why it looks so good while useing so little resources.
resource hungry =/= good engine
see i could write a 2d engine that would look 8 bit but would bring a i7 and a hd6990 to its knees
[citation][nom]cknobman[/nom]You have no clue what your talking about. Both the 360 and PS3 were released with cutting edge hardware that was partially not even available on home pc's at the time.[/citation]
true, to some extent. there is also the fact that with a pc and a console on equivalent hardware, the console will preform better. so thats also a factor.
and with cutting edge we are talking about high end, not retardedly high end, where parts cost 1000$ on their own.
