7732 3208 news 325 Buy some transgaming stuff... They'd probably have this working long since if there wasn't a "Real Soon, oops, maybe in a few months, oops, make that a year" native port. <P>It's too old - it'll flop when they release the Linux port and that'll be an excuse never to do a Linux port again. 2002-12-13 19:20:22 0
7733 3208 news -1 Well that was dumb Writting a multiplatform game and then using things that are not is just plane stupid 2002-12-13 19:37:50 0
7734 Uplink games -1 Uplink This is the best game I have every played. I'm so hooked on it! I'm going to order TODAY!!! 2002-12-13 19:46:30 0
7735 Pachi el marciano games -1 Regeneration time This is a great game: music and graphics are very competent, collision detection seems to be perfect. I give this a 4.5/5. My gripe: the regeneration speed of Pachi each time he is killed is a _little_ too slow. I realize this is part of the punishment of being killed, but it's a little irritating. Also I think the "pouring in" effect from the top of the screen is a little ugly. Great game though, very impressive. Brings back fond memories of gaming on my C64 FYI I installed the Linux version and had no problems getting it to build at all. 2002-12-13 20:31:32 0
7736 3203 news -1 Re: Looks good Well, I like turn based strategy games, homm3 was good, but it's far too long, it would take me something like 6 months, if not more, to complete it... and thats without playing much of anything else.<br><br> My favorite turn based strategy game of all time is Advance Wars (GBA, released in 2001), the campagin wasnt too long, theres a LOT of replay value and the game is fun. I like a short campaign (20-30hrs) with a lot of custom maps better than a 200+ hours campaign and few custom maps (homm3).<br><br> ---<br> Drakker 2002-12-13 21:20:07 7719
7738 3208 news -1 OMG! Geez, I feel like I've been blindsided! Give me a minute to catch my breath. I didn't even see that coming. Goodness, I'm stunned. What a freaking surprise. 2002-12-13 23:38:37 0
7739 3208 news -1 Just hire a competent coder! <h3>Obviously</h3> whoever's working on this port <b>isn't worth the money Bioware is paying them.</b> If they'd wise up and hand the project to someone like LGP or Ryan Gordon, we'd no doubt see a high quality beta version within a month's time. <p> Of course, by now Bioware probably doesn't care because they realize the situation can't possibly get any worse... They're the Linux gaming community's Ion Storm, and NWN for Linux is their Daikatana. 2002-12-13 23:44:43 0
7740 3208 news -1 ?? So, they've been working on the Linux port since last spring and they're JUST NOW discovering that their audio library isn't portable??? I can't even find the words to express how sad that is. Did Bioware hire a gifted but inexperienced teenager to do the port? Every single status message from this person fairly screams "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING". 2002-12-14 00:06:31 0
7741 3208 news 2 YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE The Neverwinter Nights Linux client port is a myth. <p> There is nothing more to see here. Move along. 2002-12-14 00:09:10 0
7742 Pachi el marciano games -1 Re: Regeneration time thanks for the comments, and yes, i think the "respawn" fx is a little slow, maybe i will give the option "to see, or not to see" :) or maybe diferent kinds of fx... <br>do you really think the respawn fx is ulgy... i like it a lot, but... if you dont like something... you dont like it <br>see ya 2002-12-14 01:15:01 7735
