linux isn't for games :)

Games aren't for Linux

[TupacVideoz]

Crysis is fucking garbage. Only nice graphics, no fucking story. Go play HAlf Life 2 instead.

[Steven707]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the game either.

Linux would be better for gamers than Windows since it runs faster, OpenGL is faster, and OpenGL is more up to date than DX but Microsoft likes to keep companies bound to DX with contracts. If games were programmed in OpenGL they could be ported to the other Operating Systems much more easily.

linux's for everything

@TupacVideoz Well at least Crysis (The 1st one at least) will always be playable for years to come due to having no Online Activation requirement like Half Life 2 has.

I usually buy only games that don't force me to connect online in order to play

hey how hard is it to use wine to run steam games cause i would like to make the change to linix before Microsoft hits the toilet.

Guys DX is always updating, i have never seen an update about ogl, plus no matter what OS your using, they all have ogl. Plus guys look at the old games and new games, they always use ogl and dx so its not like everyone is so stubborn to one of them. Satanreborn is right, windows is meant for gaming and constant upgrades so they should stick with dx because it only makes sense to do so. Also if you really hate it and you are a "real" programmer, do something about it instead of complain.

....Opengl runs on most of the recent plaforms, such as Iphone, Macs ( in general ), Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP, even Winblows Mobile runs Opengl ( LMAO ), Almost all the CG and CAD softwares in the market uses Opengl. I really regret those years that i've wasted time learning Directx! -.-

[Davillalva]

what are you smoking????

Windows HAS Opengl support, but via ICDs, Linux HAS official opengl driver support by Nvidia and Ati.

it seems that you've never used linux or maybe you are running linux on a VIA or SIS graphics card( that doesnt have linux support )...

heh, dx 10 will broke this world. it's trickly and wine will never, or long time will not work with it.. gaming windows games will be not possible soon.
