#SAVAGE XR SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS SERIES#

Lag is not as much of a problem with more recent games as the use of broadband internet connections are becoming more common. Any gamer that has played on-line knows how lag can effect your game play. For me, there was one problem above all that stood out - lag. Savage seems quite stable so far, I've yet to find any 'show stoppers' that would have anyone screaming for the blood of the developers. Like all titles, when first released a game has problems, some worse than others. The strategy & tactical elements of the game make it far more than a simple FPS - I would try to compare Savage to another related game, but as previously mentioned this game is practically in a genre all it's own. It's incredibly addictive and lots of fun. Savage is great fun to play - there's no doubt about it. I think I have already said enough about the strategy side of the game (and this is only my 'First Impressions'!) so I think I will just finish up with this, team work is quite possibly the most important part of Savage, even though the Real Time Strategy element dominates the First Person Shooter section. But I won't, because that would be (even more) boring. The commander is in charge and can issue commands to any body in their control, though like the leader of any group you must inspire trust in your men (or women) - without trust they won't follow your orders!ĭue to the complexity of the Real Time Strategy side of the game I could probably discuss the concepts of resources, man power and battle strategy for many pages. The idea of a hierarchical command structure in a game is nothing new - even though Savage only has a 2 tier command structure, a command structure still exists - there is a leader and they have their minions. After the game had installed all available patches I was ready to go - so let's see just how good this title is. I ran the game with absolutely no problems, the game has an automatic 'detect-and-patch' system like many others now-a-days, meaning the game was automatically updated to the latest release version with no interference from me. So the game installed with ease - surely there will be some terrible problems when running the game - after all this is Linux, right? Wrong. The game's installation was a breeze, plain and simple - the included CD had a Linux installation application included. Basing a game on a new control system or graphics engine is a difficult step - basing a game on a new genre is often madness! I was more than a little interested to see how Savage would work out. Needless to say, I wasn't holding my breathe as to how many problems I would experience with the release version. To my dismay the demo refused to start, in fact it not only refused to start - it screwed up my X server too. Prior to obtaining a copy of the complete game I had heard lots of positive comments regarding the title, so I decided to try out the demo version.
