davo Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Keeping with the same trend as last week's question, this week's question is - Are you looking forward to Dune Generations?Official Dune Generations website - http://www.dunegenerations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted October 10, 2001 Author Share Posted October 10, 2001 Short answer - yeahNot as much interest as FH's Dune, mainly 'cause living in Aust. and having a 56K modem is a bad combination for online games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Davo that may be the reason (56K modem) alot of people here are not interested in the game. I am still looking forward to this game more so than FH Dune. Not that I dislike the latter game I'm just not real impressed with it as I was before for one there does not seem to be a lot of interaction with other players in the game just running around and shooting. I could have the wrong idea about the game but that is all that I can see from information based apon the concept of the game at the moment. Will this game have puzzles related to the Fremen?

davo Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 One would hope FH's Dune would be more than just running and shooting. The publisher did say it is an action/adventure game, so I would expect some adventure game type puzzles. The main problem for both games is lack of info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riper Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 The fact that it costs money to buy, it costs money to play each month, and can only be played online says enough for me. Another one for the trash can.Riper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmAckbar Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 im looking forward to it, but i dont like subscribing to things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guild_navigator Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 The game is going to be hot when released, but I think more people would be interested if there was a skirmish mode or more support for 56k modems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 it is really stupid like ww2online all u do is play online and pay $10-$20 a month while some games are free and u can play off line(pantasy star online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 So the option of playing off-line as well as on-line adds life to the game? Would this increase interest in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areyouforit Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 im never ever going to pay 20 dollars a month just to get to play a game (even though thats my allowance in a week)i spend that on other stuff like stocks and shares in companys ,nce they go up.

Digital Guerrilla Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Have never played any online games before. I am interested in this game but I do not want a subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I played a massive online game called Asheron's Call for over a year with my crappy 56k modem and it ran fairly well. Â The biggest problems were at 6 o'clock in the large trading towns when I could barely move.But the impression im getting from the FAQs about DG is that much of the game will take place around a universal chart showing your holdings etc., so maybe the lag won't be that bad.By main concern is how we english speaking people (who can't speak french and dont have the time to learn) are going to interact with the french.

ThopterFanatic Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 They'll probably have some kind of language translator.I, personally, have never played an online game before, but I'll have Road Runner soon and that should make it playable. I'm really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 maybe one way cause one fo mah question was how to split dune in a million duifrernt pieces is that when u apply online u can choose french spanish chinses.......somehow...lol..and they seperate u into ur own "class" yah u wont be able to play with FRENCHIES i know but wuts the point..i mean jsut omagine how long negotiations will take lol.......it like tu parlez francais.....then ...."wut??? u declare war!!!"u know wut i mean ...guys come on...austrlians...USA, CANADA , and britian i think that i enough players for us lol for france well they get quebec and for chinses well the population of china explains it all  :-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 AOD that's funny but at the same time it makes sense about the different languages being spoken (typed) and all playing the same game. I hope the translator is better than some of the translator programs out they sometimes confuse the translation even more. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 well ther is babblefish..and why is everyone calling me AOD?? not dat i dont like it.....sounds REALLI kewl actually..but who started it lol  8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLER_SLIG Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I would give my snout to have this game be high-speed access only, rts games that allow players to use 56k are always bogged down, prone to disconnection, Â and generally suck to play. when this game does start I hope I can choose to attack and not be attacked by people with slow access I dont even want to play 56k connects ( ok now wait for the puter to transfer info regarding hundreds of units, now wait some more, now wait for more info sheesh! please people get better access or dont play this game, or any online RTS game for that matter.

Acriku Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 You take away the amount of people on 56k or lower, that's about 80-90% of the population. You will see yourself alone pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLER_SLIG Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 LOWER? you gotta be kidding me pal! since when has a game come out in the last two years that supports LOWER speeds than 56k? and no way is 80-90% of the pop on 56k. every frickin gamer I know over 15 has cable or DSL!

Acriku Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Face it man, not everyone is financially fit enough to buy a cable or DSL line. Let me put it this way, 3/4 or more of the population are dial-up. Many people can't even afford 56k, so they are resorted to 28.8 or 32, etc. I don't think you are looking in a lot of places for people's method of connecting, because surveys, charts, polls and other things show that most of the population uses dial-up. It's naive to think otherwise.My friend on 28.8 yet plays Black Thorn (2001), Rogue Spear (which is old yeah), and some other newer games with no problem - well lag by the motherload yeah.

DjCiD Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 its sucks big time paying for cable then after buying the game im gonna have to pay to play... i better start saving now if i want to have a chance at arrakis  ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLER_SLIG Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 well the beta sign ups required 300+ spd connection and they had 25 000 people sign up for it so I know that the users and the intrest is out there.  the Idea of playing an opponent  in RTS with a 28.8 connect is just too damn frigntening to me, I can barely deal with 56.6 connects. I dont necessarly think that 56k should be banned I know they have to make it apealing to 56k users too, however I would like the option to choose my opponents or have servers that only allow 300+ connections. I sure hope they do something like that, if I gotta play 12 yr old bobby on the 28.8 connect with the 386 IBM puter I'm gonna be pissed and will drop the game back at the store if there are any problems.

Acriku Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 How and why would they do that? Put an option that allows you to decline a match? That's a bit unfair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 What kind of arrogance is this?You maybe have cable/dsl, but alot of them have not. And then they don't have the right to play?I really didn't thought there were such people like you, but too bad, there are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
