<0> Ciao
<1> boo
<1> linux format beat on gorky 17 - but not too badly
<2> Ouch
<2> Is it online?
<2> Gorky really is a good game. It's just a few years too late.
<2> I think that it would have been ideal some time around when you first announced it.
<2> Even then, it was a few years old, but was p***able because it's a good game (albeit linear)
<2> What was it? '99?
<2> Yeah. '99

<2> It was kinda a mixed bag as far as Windows reviewers were concerned. Not sure why Linux gamers could complain, because it's pretty unique as far as Linux games go.

<1> the review was pretty fair, I just get pissed off then they say 'its not as good as such and such windows game' - when you cant PLAY that windows game on linux
<2> I would call it a solid "B", even 7 years later.
<2> Mainly because I don't take age into consideration when I play games.
<2> I own so many old games, that I don't treat them the same way as many people do.
<1> no, nor do I - there are limits, but m main issue is 'is it fun'
<2> And some of my favorites are 15 years old (or more)
<2> lgp-michael: Agreed.
<1> look at majesty, great game, old, aged well
<2> If you look at Odium on that Game Rankings page, you'll see that some reviews are low, and some are very high.
<1> I like to get newer games, but if a top notch older game comes in, I wont complain
<1> I'd still port Total Annihillation
<1> and thats 10 years old
<2> It shows how subjective gaming is, and G17 in particular.
<1> maybe 13 now I think of it
<2> Yeah
<2> It's pretty old.
<1> but its still great fun
<1> I think RTS's made now have finally started to surp*** it at last tho
<1> **** food burnign brb
<2> Biggest problem with G17 for a lot of folks is probably the challenge.
<2> While I don't think it's too hard for me (pretty balanced) or micks (because he has steel kahunas), it's probably too hard for most gamers.
<2> Notice that almost all of the "professional reviewers" cry over lack of ammo.
<2> Because they **** at the game.
<2> Personally, I got pretty damn good at using the hatchet and bat in the game.
<2> They must not understand that the weapons level up with the characters.
<2> The gameplay of G17 reminds me of another black sheep of strategy games that I really like.
<2> Vanguard Bandits, for the Playstation.
<2> Mainly due to the simplicity of the actual battle system, but its reliance upon actual tactics to win.

<2> It never had great reviews either, but I think it's a superb and underappreciated game.
<2> I mean, the two games aren't really anything alike in terms of style. They just rely more on tactics than cheap gimicks.
<2> And people find them too challenging as a result.
