We have removed mentions of the developers IRC nickname. While not his actual name, we don't want a witch-hunt.

Of course this comment is 100% my opinion based on my own experience, so with that in mind...

I am one of the people that find the performance unacceptable. I still can't play TW2 many months after release due to it constantly dropping to low FPS at a low resolution even on medium graphical settings. Even Stronghold 3 Gold which also uses eON couldn't hit a solid high FPS and dropped down quite often, and the game isn't even intensive.

I don't care about the porting technique. I used to until I decided the tech doesn't mater, but performance does. Now that we have first-hand experience with the level of performance expected from ports using eON; I am not expecting much.

I also dislike it when people decide to hide details like who is developing it. Fair enough that it wasn't meant to be known this early, but why continue to hide it? That to me shows a lack of confidence. I always say to developers and publishers they need to be more open, and to a technically minded audience like Linux gamers it matters even more so.

Personally, I wish 2K went with Aspyr who did the Mac version.

Quoting: StianTheDark

Quoting: liamdaweLimbo didn't have combat, did it?

No, but if you would buy a brand new game just for combat..

Well, no one is saying that. It's an entirely different game, with similar visuals to Limb. It has a different story, different interactions, combat, etc.

Personally I love it.

Quoting: KhudsaA question. If you wait until the game is released for Linux, but you want a boxed copy. What happens if you buy a boxed version, activates it under Linux and play it under Linux? It counts as a Linux sale and the money goes to the guys who ported the game?

Thanks.

It will note it's a boxed copy (steam has depots and info for boxed copies), and pay the appropriate people. If you want the Linux sale, buy it on Linux and play it on Linux/

Quoting: zimplex1The Linux number is still pretty huge. I mean nearly 118,000 is not something a developer should scoff.

Exactly, and this is only a test from 1 day of logins.

I'm sure it will keep growing as people try to cash in on these "Simulator" games.

Some people most really like them...not me.
