[the dark side]

personally, i think the gameplay mechanics of many modern games are dreadfull, to the point of unplayability, the only modern games i really take to are "throwback" titles, wich use the gameplay from yesteryear, or racing simulators, wich actually do improve as gaming goes on as they can become more technical and realistic with each technological advancement. i mean, "I racing" is now so realistic, and attracts so many pro drivers, everyone from old legends like Nigel Mansell to young hotshots like Sabastian Vettel, the races are getting broadcast live on Motors TV in europe and "SPEED" stateside.

actually, i am not impressed by modern graphics either a lot of the time, oh sure, they are technically accomplished in terms of lighting range and pixel numbers, but because many are designed to run on consoles, wich i am sorry to say are well and truly out of date technologically compared to even an average current PC, they also suffer from Blinding lens flaring and serious "jaggies" due to a lack of Anti Aliasing abilities, as well as a dog slow 30 FPS frame cap (come on, even a MEGADRIVE can do 60 FPS thanks to its "blast processor") that leads me to think that some older PC titles on IDtech III (SOF II) and Lithtech Jupiter (NOLF 2) look better, as they took advantage of PC processing power, and have a higher frame cap, up to 5 level anti aliasing, and dont blind you with lens flaring. heck, i actually think IDtech III is a better engine that idtech 5, because idtech III has 60 FPS cap, 4 level anti aliasing, no flare, and can handle first person vehicles, were as 5 is capped at 30, has NO AA support, flares like mad, and can only do 3rd person , the main reason, IDtech III was designed for PC, and 5 was designed for xbox360.

also, list what you want crisosphinx, if the trolls dont like it, just block em, when they dont get any attention, they will soon toddle of back to xbox live. i dont hide the fact that i still play a ton of classic titles, heck i was playing the original rise of the triad (and the shareware episode: "the HUNT begins" at that) only this morning, and you shouldnt hide the fact you still love old games either. if the modern game lovers dont like it, that is their problem. not yours.

heck. i want you to list your fave old games, see if we have any faves in common!
