I agree & disagree because some games do look really good like Xonotic for example and yes 0 A.D. too.

I think freeciv actually looks good, that is the style they want.

Things don't need to be in 3D or look realistic to be good-looking.

Also coders are easy to find, graphics artists aren't.

Quoting: Apopas

Quoting: liamdaweWhat is a true RPG? There is no such thing, what one person considers a true RPG another will not.

So a shot em up, a strategy game or even a puzzle game are all RPGs?

An FPS game is very much an RPG yes, you're playing the role of the shooter aren't you? RPG is an extremely broad term and people forget that.

A strategy game, well yeah you're playing the commander role aren't you...

See where I'm going with this :P

When it boils down to it any-game you play as a single character is an RPG, since it stands for Role Playing Game, playing as a character is playing that role, so...yeah.

So in every game you interact with NPCs in a way that these interactions develop your character and affect the in game world?

No, I don't know many games at all where you actually affect the in-game world.

Quoting: ApopasEvery one of these advertisew itslef as an ACTION RPG, true?
Action RPGs are the ones which role playing is from little to not existing at all.
True RPGs are the ones with focus on Roleplaying.

See my post, you are always playing a role. I don't know what you mean by "focus on roleplaying", focus..how?

@4ian, It would be much nicer if you just put up a standard tar.gz package for non-ubuntu distros.

Part of or a full quote it doesn't matter, the only other text in that bit was "this linux fps freebie" so no I haven't taken you out of context.

A game is something you get as a whole package and it runs.

A mod is something that requires another engine to run it, what you linked to is a mod.

Really Rusty you are going to carry this on? Just drop it this is pointless. I have no idea why you are banging on about something so trivial.

If you keep commenting and derailing this further, I will just delete the comments.

Picking a fight with me over a minor detail and then telling me to remove your account quite frankly is rather childish.

It was a comment to simply state why I didn't personally include it in my list and my thoughts on it. How that turned into you berating me about it I have no idea. That is how discussions generally work.

I am so confused as to why you are so upset by me simply stating why I didn't include it *sigh*

Quoting: RustyboltsIts still a game...why be clever? I didnt say it should of been in your list it was just discussion and was just listing another game people may be interested in. :huh:

Well...

No one ever mentions...

Seemed like you did want it to be in the list.

Also not being "clever", just point it out, it isn't a game, it is a game-pack for another engine, not a game in itself.

Quoting: RustyboltsLove Doom? No one ever mentions this linux fps freebie

Well freedoom isn't actually a game, it is a game-pack for an open-source engine, this post was for full games.
