So this guy was getting pissed at goldsource and starts comparing it to crysis and other modern engines. I personally disagree only because my computer sucks lollipops and goldsource is all I can do well on, but what's everyone else thinking?

It was amazing for its time. That dude should move to another engine and stop whining. Its not surprising that other engines have blown it away after 12 years. >_>

What an ass. D:

He said in the comments he was simply raging when he wrote it, but that for its age, he does respect it so...

I have nothing to say him. He should think about what he writes before he goes and shows he is a trolling moron.

Well I never let an opportunity like that pass me by.

I thought that was the plot of a mod.

You know, being 2muchvideogames and all.

Saxon-Swine can be a dick but he's complimented my GoldSource work recently so he was probably just raging when he posted this over a year ago.

How can you compare Goldsource to CryEngine?

It's like comparing an apple to a...car

Yeah, one feeds people, the other looks a lot better but doesn't do anything useful as far as nutrition goes.

Well, I guess it wouldn't be impossible to consume a car...it'd be one hell of a bog stop afterwards though.

Good luck breaking down the metals into a form that you can actually consume. Don't know too many people that can eat sheet metal, much less an aluminum block. And god forbid you own a Mitsubishi, iron block motors... then there is the fluid which would surely kill you after consuming.

Possible, just not logical.

As I said above, it really seems like he was just nerd-raging for a short while, and used that comparison as a silly way to vent. It's apparent he still is active with in the goldsource community seeing as he's played Urby's work, and was compiling a map of his own during the rant.

Oh please. If you can't break it down, you just need to man the hell up.

We both suck!

Ok Norah, truce.

The reason I still use gold is because its a quick tool to get ideas into a 3d realm quickly and somewhat pleasantly. And compiles take no time until an entire map is almost or is complete and it still only takes a few minutes. I don't think i've waited over nine minutes for a compile ever. Usually compiles take me 30 seconds to a min.

Source mapping takes me over nine minutes just to open up the sdk. Maybe once I get a new machine i'll begin with it but as far as im concerned im not a gamer but an architect. And gold is a great tool to quickly experiment with 3d ideas. Its like a little piece of heaven that I can craft in.
