Don't forget Gearbox softwares appalling conversion to PC of a then four year Xbox title in the form of Halo.

Sorry sir, you're absolutely right.

All ports are poor no matter what you say as they are converted badly.

Example

Half Life 2 - Amazing Graphics - Runs extremely smoothly

GTA - Average Graphics - Doesn't run smoothly

Correction, to a "geek" or "nerd" it was a stupid comment.

However, to an everyday person, it was a rational comment/question.

I think this is the single most idiotic statement I've seen on this forums for a long time.

Yeah, 2003 was 'slightly blocky', it was hard to distinguish one block from another!

I think your forgetting it was a very stupid comment by you that got this all off topic in the first place.

Yeah, thing's have come a long way since 2003.

Some people need to be corrected now and again.

Besides, I think you're msising what I'm writing considering this post has nothing to do with waffle on rendered objects.

It's about opinions on Total Overdose.

Thanks all the same though.

You seem to be missing what i am writing, I'm not talking about the graphics as a whole I'm talking about the poorly rendered objects in the game that didn't need to be poorly rendered.

Thanks for the stating the obvious that graphics have improved over 2 years.

Thief 3 was excellent.
