What an insightful and informative article.

Here I'm gonna post the rest of it so you don't have to give them the click:

I've seen shitposts more thought-out than this article.

I don't know if I should laugh, cry or be angry at this.

Yet another extremely shitty article from PCgamesN

[QUOTE=The golden;49084614]The really sad part about this article is its not even true. A lot of old PC don't run on modern systems, at least not very well or they require very heavy modification or emulation.

Full backwards compatibility is pretty hard to beat and I would much prefer it over fucking with emulation software.[/QUOTE]

Old unreal games have a weird issue with mouse acceleration, but someone made a DX10 fix for the more popular UE1 games.

Yeah, even some of the fairly popular ones have unresolved issues.
For more obscure titles, if there's any kind of issue, you're damn lucky if someone found a way to fix it, even partially.

Well... Heavy Gear 2 doesn't run on modern systems at all. Shame that, people have been clamoring for it to go on GoG for years now. Seven Kingdoms 2 has a broken colour palette that, unlike SK1 can not be fixed with Windows' registry compatibility fix.

These are just off the top of my head, and from personal experience. I'm normally partial to defending PCGamesN but this is shit. Genuine shit.

Old Unreal games have a different input for the mouse. Specifically made for low DPI. On my SteelSeries Rival 100 I have setted the DPI to 1000 and 1500 just for this cause and it works really good.

That's why he says 'almost all'. Even if many do require DOSBox or some other form of emulation, there are still games from fucking 1999 that can be run on Win7 without modification or hiccups. Definitely more impressive that any consoles in terms of backwards compatibility.

I literally expect nothing of quality from this website in terms of reporting or writing anymore.

[Archonos 2]

Just when I thought they were improving. They have some good articles, but they can just seem to stop stuff like this.

We don't allow our members to shitpost, why do we allow PcGamesN to shit post.

This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a fucking lie. I didn't spend an hour yesterday patching the shit out of Theme Park World for nothing. Like, a generous 50% of them work.
