Strategy game 'Radiis' has no moving units with you using buildings to capture territory
By Purple Library Guy, 5 July 2018 at 4:41 pm UTC
Maybe it's just the dramatic music, but the end game felt surprisingly ultra-violent for a bunch of buildings sitting there. I'm interested.

Quote"PC (Windows, Linux), Mac"

Still not really right, though. If the definition of "PC" they're using is IBM PC Compatible Clone (i.e., x86 architecture), Macs are also PCs since 2006. The whole "Macs vs PCs" marketing scheme predates the Intel switch.
I feel old now.
Looks like 'Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive' may be coming to Linux

It's OUT!!!!!


Loading from the title to the first mission is almost as fast as I can click the play button, the mouse is a little buggy though, have to look into what's causing that.

it's 32bit only, 1.6GB download, apart from the mouse problem it's running very well.

Quoting: skinnyrafLOL, so you have just stated that the only serious gaming is on PC, because of precision of control. Consoles are not serious, because a K/M will annihilate a controller, and mobile platforms are an absolute joke because of lack of precision of touch screen control.
Your reading comprehension seems limited. That is not what I said.

Though mobile platforms certainly are an absolute joke for most games, just look at the latest EA Command & Conquer release and compare that with what that series used to be. If that is not a sad joke, I don't know what it is.
Console vs. PC is really only a difference in input methods. But mobile has a tiny screen, there just isn't much you can do with such a small space that couldn't be done much better if you had a bigger screen.

And obviously, touching a screen can never be as accurate as moving a mouse cursor, restricting the possibilities further.
This is just simple logic.

There are games or even whole genres that can work on all platforms equally well. For example, I really don't get why Hasbro/WoTC do not finally do a real port of MTGO to all platforms. Oh, well...

Quoting: skinnyrafFor me, a guy who traveled the whole world to capture all Pokemon was quite a serious gamer - and Pokemon Go is definitely a mobile game.
Pokemon Go is barely a game. More of a toy.
Just because you can play with something, doesn't make it a game.

Quoting: skinnyrafAnd anyway, Fortnite is crossplay mobile vs Switch vs Xbox One vs PC.
From the Fortnite FAQ itself:
QuoteI’m on PC, when do I play against cross-platform players?

Mobile, PS4, or Xbox players who are in a cross-platform party may appear as enemies in your match.

“Fill” parties are same platform as you.

You will only play against PC players if you are playing Solo on PC.
You should maybe inform yourself before trying to appear clever. Otherwise, the attempt will backfire.
As I said before, cross-platform play is limited for games like Fortnite. And that is for a reason.
It is the same reason why the leading console players for those games often use devices like Xim 4.

This isn't about consoles vs PC, though. With the right input methods, both can be competitive.
After all, what is a console if not a PC in a special outfit?
But the standard for consoles is an input method that is simply inferior when it comes to what is required in a shooter. Hence the cross-platform restrictions.

It's available in the Solus repository. Better use native packages when available !

The Standalone package is the way I prefer it too, Snap is staying off my system till they fix it so it can't include Malware.

edit: I should have said earlier, thanks Liam for reminding me about this game, I haven't played it in a while.

Don't like snaps, but have played this game again recently with friends. Instagib ftw!
Superb fun and really good music and visuals imo, runs also 200+ FPS most of the time

I just like the standalone package from their homepage, So i can easily put it to where my actual games are.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI feel honestly sorry for your son if he considers PixelGun serious gaming. Not because of mobile, but because of the simplistic nature of the game. Then again, he might just be very young. I know I played lots of shit happily when I was.

You see, there is a reason cross-play between PC and mobile is limited, if allowed at all.
PC players annihilate mobile (and console) players, simply due to better input and average skill level. I could probably duke it out 1vs10 against mobile players and come out winning. I don't see this ever changing if mobile doesn't evolve to the capacity and input capability of a PC with keyboard (or something similar) and mouse - and if mobile ever does reach that, there is no difference any more between it and PC.

And because of this, PC gaming will always stay relevant to the people interested in more than just casual stuff and esports of simplistic games.

LOL, so you have just stated that the only serious gaming is on PC, because of precision of control. Consoles are not serious, because a K/M will annihilate a controller, and mobile platforms are an absolute joke because of lack of precision of touch screen control.

That's a pretty narrow definition of "serious gaming" and Sony would probably laugh at it. For me, a guy who traveled the whole world to capture all Pokemon was quite a serious gamer - and Pokemon Go is definitely a mobile game. And anyway, Fortnite is crossplay mobile vs Switch vs Xbox One vs PC.
