Artificial Intelligence Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 The poll will be pinned for two weeks before I'll drop it, but there can still be voting Easy question. How many linux game have you bought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Currently none yet, as none are really that appealing to me. Of course if something comes out that looks intresting, i'll buy it. For the time being, i'm only really playing battle for wesnoth. psst you made a typo in the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet2k5 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 You should have the option for " None ". Anyhow looks like I'm not going to be gaming on Linux. I seriously don't want to pay money to play games that I WANT. I could just buy windows or get it for free and play any game I want. Until Linux has a good improvement on gaming, i seriously won't be doing any gaming on it. I'll try out the Linux Clients if the game has it. Other than that, I doubt it.

SoulSe Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Bah. I hear a lot of people underestimating Linux gaming in here. Check it out: Native games I own: Quake 3 Arena Unreal Tournament Unreal Tournament 2004 Neverwinter Nights + first expansion (I bought the gold box) Return to Castle Wolfenstein Doom 3 Postal 2 Games I play with Cedega (this emulator so rocks right now): Half Life 2 Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 2 Warcraft 3 Dungeon Keeper 2 I own a ton of others that work with Cedega, that's just what I'm playing at the mo, when I find time. Half Life 2 is what I play the most, but since I only get to game for around three hours a week, I'll probably be playing it for another year. I haven't come accross a Windows game made in the last few years that doesn't work. I have but one tip: turf Point2Play - it ain't cool. Use the command line. Oh - and 2.6 vanilla kernels are the business for any wine-based gaming, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet2k5 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I don't like non of those games. Only WoW is the closets I will come to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I doubt it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They vote system is limited to 5 option. Fill out a complain formal and send it to Anon :P :D There's some good linux games out there, but again it's all about taste. I myself like Strategy games and RPG and so far there's some good games in that genres. A good one is 'Dominions 2', there's also Dominions 1 but I havn't tried. The 2 swedish men company 'Illwinter' is making Dominions 3 at the moment, so I can't complain There's also a good chance that NWN 2 will come to Linux as native. Bioware is ready making it, they just need clearance from Atari. Though I rarely play Shooter games I know there's some good games out there for Linux in high quality. Mainly they are build for multiplayer and not single player. About Cedega: Most of my games works with it ...some of the games just need a minor tweak if they are messing up. But most case they work out of the box. Even better, with the new cedega 4.4 I got 'Wizardry 8' to work Games I've on my Linux OS with help from Cedega at this moment: American McGee's Alice Space Colony Star Craft UFO: Aftermath Warcraft 3 Wizardry 8 World of Warcraft Master of Orion 3 Homeworld 2 Native linux Games (commercial): Dominions 2 Roit Ball Share of Pain NWN gold box Savage Devil Whiskey Tribal Trouble .:=The AI Dude=:.

Games that came out before Cedega are hard to get supported. Have you tried? Have you subscribed and setup a request for support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I messed up in voting, I forgot Heavy Metal Fakk, so I have 4 games: - Heavy Metal Fakk - Unreal Tournament - Unreal Tournament 2004 - DOOM 3 I will admit that I didn;t buy any of those specifically for Linux, I bought them to play on Windows and occasionally play them on linux What I do play on linux are a few free games, like NeverBall, Chromium, ... I used to play some MAME games under linux but I now have a dedicated MAME cabinet (which run under winodws because I play other games than MAME ones on the cabinet and they don;t run in linux)... I mostly game under windows though. I used to run a dedicated UT2004 server under linux and sometimes run a teamspeak server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
