Console gamers generally don't really want mods. They want either DLC or a new game, because it's faster and easier. No offense intended: it's a different market.
Are you fucking retarded? Do you realize that mods like DOTA have contributed more to WC3 and TFT sales than anything Blizzard could have done, for ONE example? Do you think people would want a goddamn Doom 4 if Doom didn't had such an awesome and long lasting modding community? Do you have any idea of what you're talking about or are you a console baby trying to sound smart?
* Device drivers for Win7 is a pain in the neck with the signing and the x64/32-bit. I have to hack in certain drivers and some manufacturers still haven't released a driver and XP drivers although they use the same model and similar kernel simply can't be used for some reason.
This is funny because Win7 drivers have been lengendary for me. Stable and spot on, even for that webcam that's like 15 years old.
... is a retarded Apple fanboy trying to justify his purchase. Of course the iPad is better, but saying Amazon and Google are harming the tablet market because of low prices is about as coherent as saying GNU/Linux being free is killing the PC market. The iPad will thrive alongside cheaper alternatives in an emergent market not driven by price, but by preferences. If I ever bought a tablet, I'd rather buy an Android one because I'm used to them and Apple's economic model annoys me, but I know the iPad's hardware is strictly better... Except this is a tablet. Not a gaming PC. I don't need a high end tablet because all I'll do is read, watch movies play simple games.
Dual analog controls aren't really a necesity, you know? And there *are* single player games. Until a console gives me interesting and original games like The Void, for example, they will still be the inferior experience.
That's a problem of games downgraded to play on consoles, either technically, or because console players want simple games to have fun, not necesarily ridiculously complex games like PC gamers. Bioshock II was still a great game, but it was strictly inferior to the first, and vastly less complicated and confusing. Your mileage will vary according to this though.
Actually, algorythm's aside, it acts like it should. They don't see you unless you move or make some noise. Crysis had a very advanced AI for the enemies, but it didn't mean they were these awesome soldiers. They were just realistic.
Half-Life showed the way, it was the first big game I recall where being told to go to the Boiler room, meant you looked at the wall and followed the arrows marked Boiler room. No more red card for red door or wondering why this room identical to all the others had special significance.
Actually, that was probably first found on Duke Nukem 3D or any of the build engine games... or any good FPS after Doom. Doom was a carnage based game, where level design was abstract and unrealistic because 22 years ago optimization was much more important than "detail". Detail isn't really arrows marking the boiler room. Detail is figuring out something works because it should work. Nowadays that's fairly easy: the point is that detail apparently can't go hand in hand with mainstream releases for much more of the same reason why Doom's cities looked like lego remains of a kid's creation: they focus on the extremely streamlined gameplay, probably because they know most gamers won't stop and marvel like a jackass as we did when you first played Crysis and watched the dawn.
Slashdot Mirror
In the last seven or eight years - has *anyone* installed Slackware?
Now this is a comment to mod up.
... uses Safari anyway?
This. I don't know why people spend so much for protection for their phones instead of being careful.

I always find it funny that people post all this intriguing prophecies... as AC

What kind of retarded IT manager blocks sites via the hosts file?
Your comment is really funny, but I wonder which kind of horrible person would make a 14 year old kid read Atlas Shrugged.
1984 is far more depressing than Brave New World. At least there are people out there in BNW. There isn't even a "out there" in 1984.
Why would you make a piece of entertainment software to be useful, anyway?
Yet you're posting as an AC.

You don't really compare Deus Ex to GTA, dude.
Fucking Crysis II and its camouflaged enemies were nigh impossible to see at times.
Now in that case, of intentionally disorienting the player, you need to give them a way out so they can try again.
In this case, we're talking about technical specs doing it, not gameplay choices.
"pretty high end LCD"

I wasn't a fan either, but it was a well done game.
Really, really wrong.
