Comments on: Random thoughts… http://irritant.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/random-thoughts/ Deep thoughts from the inner bowels of madness Fri, 14 Dec 2012 05:38:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Scott http://irritant.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/random-thoughts/#comment-32 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:03:04 +0000 http://irritant.wordpress.com/?p=79#comment-32 That’s a shame because I look long and hard for a realism based game for Linux. You seem to think that there is an overflow of those but it’s very difficult to find them for me in here. I don’t necessarily want military but just something that moves at a realistic speed, has a realistic jumping height and falling height to injury ratio etc. Being able to climb over tall objects is good too and a prone position with a sniper. I don’t begrudge others their preference if they want it fast though. All it would take would be a setting to alter the running speed and then run it the way you want it. Unfortunately I cannot even find a way to change that in the .cfg for Alien Arena so I’m stuck with something that is totally unrealistic and it completely ruins it for me.

Then there is that traditional desire to make Linux more popular. One would think that that might influence their direction when they conceive these games and with all of the advances in the graphics I would think that somebody would make a realism based game like that, but all they seem to want to do is make quake 3 Unreal Tournament clones.

The only one i consider to truly be that sort of game is True Combat Elite/Cqb.

Sigh.

It sucks Alien Arena is a fun game. More so than most.

Sorry, I don’t mean to be critical and I’m not directing these comments at Alien Arena specifically, however with Red Eclipse, Xonotic and Wop and probably others I can’t think of off the top of my head right now I can change those settings. I wish I could in Alien Arena because it’s high on my like list of games available to me.

About time :) I’ve been agitating for both of these for a while now, thank you for giving em a look. :)

Think of it like a 1st-person platformer and it makes more sense.
