are you purposefully presenting yourself as a nerd caricature or something? This is ridiculous. The game is not broken. An additional mode that makes some incredibly minor graphics improvements doesn't work, and somehow the entire game becomes broken? You can play through the game start...

that kinda overlooks the sheer unparalleled quality of the game itself you used to have to pay full price for full screen pan and scan versions of DVDs. why should you demand a discount because a dozen trees and a few shadows aren't as complex in DX9?

ugh the game runs 100% perfectly in DX9 and the DX11 mode barely adds anything... But you are going to skip one of the best games of the year to play yet another FPS? LMFAO... I thought console fanboys were dumb but PC zealots like you are really something else.

Doesn't matter if its a console port or not. This is what happens when a developer doesn't mistake high quality graphics for shitloads of polygons, megatextures, and a draw distance so far you can see the curve of the earth. Instead they developed a strong visual style, hired some really good...

ditto. last PC game I bought at retail was Half Life 2 when it was brand new. this whole "omg PC gaming is dying" shit got old in 2000. I remember reading about crappy console -> PC ports in PC Gamer in the mid-90s. its always doom and gloom in the PC business. people should really just shut...

anybody have screenshots of the DX11 stuff in this game? sounds like it has some pretty tasty graphical features... even if it doesn't run right, I want to know what we have to look forward to when it gets patched up.

its nice to see a cutting edge game engine that not only looks absolutely incredible but is well optimized too. its probably still not quite as good as Crysis at simulating a tropical rainforest, but I've had more "OMG WOW" eyepopping graphical moments in three hours of BF3 than I had in all of...

Anand had a short comparison that showed Bulldozer could run up to 10% better in the beta version of Windows 8. Maybe with an OS that plays better with their unusual architecture would unlock this chip's full potential but it still wouldn't be enough to put it on an even keel with Sandy Bridge.

its a good thing Sandy Bridge kicks a metric ton of ass, then..

Deus Ex looks good? This is news. Nice environments, sure, but the characters are ugly as hell and don't even compare favorably to HL2 characters on account of the plastic Uncanniest Valley facial animation. Unreal Engine 3 runs on quite a few different platforms and has the games out to prove...

This doesn't even make sense. Are you saying there is a scenario that exists in the real world that would make an out of the box GTX 560 significantly faster than a 6970, that I could easily replicate for my own benefit? Why spend $400 on a graphics card when I could magically extract better...

id software has practically no reputation these days anyways. id hasn't been a serious player when it comes to games since Quake 3; they haven't been a serious player when it comes to middleware since Unreal Engine 3. On his own, Carmack is not capable of anything. He is nothing without his...

Can you play through the game start to finish? Yes. You can, just fine. It would have seen the light of day on console. "Forgetting who gave them their first millions?" ....are you serious? They owe you nothing.

Actually, id software is interested in making as much money as possible (since they are first and foremost a business). You don't do that by making games for just PC, or just consoles, or just phones - you make an engine that works on everything. PC gaming will never rule the roost again. Get...
