I can run Skyrim, Crysis, F.E.A.R., Left 4 Dead 2, etc, just fine!
I lose about 1 fps for every 1k bricks in Blockland.
To put it in broad terms, try running Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Win95) on your $3000 computer, and watch as you get about 15 fps. Some games are just built on a crap engine, PERIOD.

all those games you listed are old and will run on old computers. especially FEAR, that game is just old, I run it on max on my intel hd gpu

While FEAR is old, Skyrim came out in 2011 (Currently 2013). To call it old is like saying that the song "Call me Maybe" is old, which it most certainly is not.
My point I meant to make on my last post is that your PC and your games may not always play nice.
A better example of a bad engine would be The Powder Toy. Because it doesn't support multi core processing, a computer with a 3Ghz single core will run it better than an i7 quad core at 2.4Ghz.

Blockland is also capable of rendering over 200k objects at a single time. I doubt any of the other games you listed could.

Doesnt mean it's safe to leave blockland looking kinda bad. People are going to want good graphics, and they are not going to care if you give that excuse.
