I should have said the last machine I bought pre-built was one that came with Windows 95 & really struggled to do anything with Windows XP & that was supposed to be top of the line when I bought it. Obsolete before I got it out of the store. I learnt my lesson though as I've never bought a pre-built system since.

The last time I bought a pre-built PC it was obsolete before I'd even got it out of the store, that the PCs biggest strength & weakness, you can upgrade it but it's already obsolete the moment you decide which one you want.

Quoting: AlveKattIf you are considering getting Total War WH, should you start with the first one or is it better just going on the second one?

The long term plan for the games is to link them all together on one HUGE map, so grabbing the first one seems to me like a good idea.

This looks really good, but do you know what would make it sooooo much better? A Captain Scarlet themed mod.

Quoting: razing32Lets not forget the flood of shill developers who came in when Greenlight opened the gates.
Everything from asset flips to card farmers.

I must be very lucky as I never got caught out by any of them.

I just grabbed a copy of Dungeon Warfare too, thanks for the tip on that one.

I still haven't got all the other DLC available yet & they're adding more to the game, I can't keep up, sometimes I wish they'd slow down a bit, but I know they can't. ;)

There wouldn't be any gaming on PC or Linux at all without Indie developers like Codemasters, they are the Original Indie games company that helped kickstart the entire gaming industry back in the 80s.

Look at Valve too, they started out as an Indie game developer with Half-Life.

Complaining about Indie developers is wrong, complain about Bad Indie Devlopers instead, the ones who promise Linux Ports but never deliver on the promise even after FIVE years, that Giana Sisters port for instance, I won't name the developer as they don't deserve the free advertising.

Quoting: PompesdeskyPersonnaly I don't think developers should always let everyone know what exact problems they are facing, it's nice to know but in fact it's none of our business. Maybe that's a trivial issue and they would get a backlash by being too open or who knows what.

To me it's nice that they're already telling there'll be "some" delay. And then again I'm not going angry at once at a developer because the game is not on Linux day 1. Of course that'd be nice as well, but as long as we're not talking months after a Windows release I find that totally acceptable.

Some developers who have told the Linux community what the problems are they've faced have been handed the solutions by the community, but at the end of the day it is up to the developers whether they tell us what the problem is or not.

Quoting: dubigrasuIs that Rutger Hauer? Everything seem very Blade Runner-ish, even the music.

Yep that's him, I'd recognise his face & voice anywhere. It is mentioned on steam but they haven't really made that much of a fuss about him being in the game, you'd think they would seeing as who he is & his part in Blade Runner.
