have you read the reviews that are counted on in Metacritic?

There are journalist with integrity, who treats games with respect and considers their quality with long history of gaming in hindsight.

Then there are journalists who treats game reviewing as a task which just needs to be over with, and has no regard over the quality of the game in respect of its predecessors and influences, as well as gauging expectations of the target crowd to the finished product.

Any review which does not mark down a PC game for the lack of manual saves and lack of dedicated servers (where multiplayer is an integral part) cannot read without a large bucket of skepticism over the professionalism of the reviewer himself.

Not to mention lack of advanced graphical options (for a "grand game") and modability ( with regards to its direct competitor).

Bad review sites which no regard of true professionalism are all over the web. Gamespot had became one amongst them. ( at least in the PC subdivision)

I am, but something tells me it's going to turn out to be really bad.Gooeykat

[QUOTE="dakan45"] because thats what i thought about invisible war and look how much they dumb it down to suit to the console fanbase.smerlus

The massive amount of additional development effort and cost to modernize and expand upon the original Deux Ex, with a mature features, is hard to justify when the above said games are selling so well, and necessary funding for blockbuster games are getting to nebulous amounts it isn't even considered nowdays. Don't blame the console players? Considering how the console players are spending their money, don't blame the console players?

if u were microsoft, would you not bundle DX10 into Vista? Afterall, in 6 months time, everyone would be able to afford a Dx10 capable machine, so the cost issue is not the issue, so as the lack of games. PS3 don;t support DX10. This is a disadvantage of capitalism.

As far as i know, DX10 is a closed source, so how can someone adapt it for the XP if it was so? They would also need to hack into ATi's and Nvidia's graphics drivers.A daunting and illegal task.

go wiki search!

why do people say Source is more flexible than Doom and Unreal? All source games look the same. Flat, low-poly with primary colors and false mon-dynamic water reflections.( they look like mods of HL2) and HL2 reminds me of Rainbow 6 :3 when it was released> Doom did portals and physics, great indoors in Prey and wide open spaces in Quake Wars. Now that is flexibility to me.

Sure its more scalable but its because it just ain't as capable and it;'s not even a current gen engine. Its between unreal 2.5 and Doom.
