I've only got 5 poll options! So if you choose something else, please explain in your post below.

i wont buy it because i rarely have time to play games. and nwn should keep me company for a looonnnggg time. i have it for a month now and i barely have started on the second act (exploring the courtyard)..

 

 

ciao!

[theYinYeti]

No I won't buy it.

 

I want a racer game (like McRae Rally) :( :(

 

:lol:

I only buy native games, unles I REALLY want to play something or it gets given to me.

 

Like Half Life 2, I really wanted to play so I use Cedega and KOTOR2 was given to me to review.

 

This game looks good, I might buy it if they port it, if they don't it'll have to be REALLY good :P

[johnnyv]

I will definately buy it, even if i have to play it on windows. I only hope that the engine doesn't suck as bad as the morrowind one for freezing while loading zones every 2 seconds.

I've never played this series of games, I don't have a huge interest in them at this point.

 

That being said, if it's ported to Linux, I will buy it, simply to support them and show that Linux users will buy this stuff :P

[corticalhomunculus]

Regardless of how it is released I'll buy it. If the system requirements on the box require a human heart I will murder a drifter and stuff his throbbing meat pump through the empty floppy bay drawer in order that I am able to play this game. :woops:

If you haven't played any of the previous numbers in the series before drop some cash on morrowind, it's pretty cheap now and is considered (not just by me) a benchmark for what a game should be: Epic, Fun, exciting, occassionally thought provoking or funny and likely to last you a year or more before it gets boring.

I will only buy if it works on Linux.

 

I haven't used other OS's in years and that is the only criteria for games for me. Runs on Linux? I buy.

Runs only on something else... must be crappy. i.e. if it can't get here it probably isn't worth it.

I don't buy or play many games, but I'd only buy native games anyway. I got sick and tried trying to get CoD working under wine/cedega and don't want to be forced to use Windows *just* to play a game.

 

Native all the way for any future games for me, oh, and my boy when he's old enough :P

[Artificial Intelligence]

Been 5 months since I used wine or cedega (still uses dosbox for the great games of the past). So no I won't buy. I have alot of fun with the few linux native games at the moment (both GPL and commercial).

 

The only one I might concider to buy if it's non-linux it NWN2 and that's it. And it shouldn't be surprised that we'll see some short time after a wine loki installer for it as NWN is very populare on Linux machines.

 

 

New monkey, Ian?

Unfortunately NWN2 is only going to be released using directx - no OpenGL - so the only option to run it under Linux will be cedega or trying to hack wine to run it.

When was that decided?

Aye, I know :) . That's why I said a wine loki installer like the one you can get also for Morrowind and a couple of other games :)

They were already hinting at it last year, not sure when the final decision was made.

 

Have you guys checked out Swiftshader?

 

It's a DirectX compatible API that Transgaming are working on - and possibly the answer to all our linux-gaming dreams...
