Uplink 1.3 No Game-Over

[Psychominik]

Its really shit when I played for hours, building up a High-Tech-Gateway purchasing 20 Gigaquads of Software and then I do a little fault....boom everything was for nothing. Kicked from Uplink because get caught anywhere. This really not animating me to start again (and again and again) never reching my aims. So I wish, for the next patch, that I have the Option to disable Game Overs or I can save myself without effects to the auto-save. Kind of Back-Up in case of catastrophe!

[GimpChild]

That's why you have a gateway nuke.

[Biblin]

You can always back up your user file (a sort of fake save) but frankly it adds a bit more challenge to the game.  Where's the thrill if you can just try again if you get caught?

[Psychominik]

There can be a punishment for something like that. And im not even told were I was catched. But its so boring starting up again and again.

[MrMcs]

Thats one of the reasons why Uplink gets boring

[Tofu_uplink]

yea i have backups, tho i dont like to use em, takes the thrill out

[MrMcs]

Then del them

[Mas Tnega]

I suggest that should learn to do a half decent hack. I've actually been through the whole help section on the Internal Services Machine and the information in that alone tells you enough to work out how to hack and not get caught. Don't knock a game when the problem is your incompetence

[Psychominik]

What I mean is: Im playing Uplink for many hours. Sometimes until the Sun rises.  And when I do one fault because Im tired. I mess the whole thing up! Anybody does faults he woldnt do normally. And its shit that hours of playing going down the tubes....

[Raiden]

uh your all nutters....yeah so you get caught...just teaches you next time to be more careful...or get a nuke
but truth be told they should have a way so you can have two gateways (when on gets blown by gateway_nuke you have a backup) or somthing but face it...its not fun if theres no fear of being caught!

You see, Psychominik, this is when one should learn the value of a good night's sleep. Or a can of Mountain Dew. Whichever is more readily available.

[Talesin]

Precisely. So either start up the IV caffeine drip, or *turn the game off when you get that tired*. If you get caught when you play long enough to get sleepy, /don't play that long/. Is that really so far against common sense? Must we blame the *game* when it picks us up and giving us a whoopin' when we misstep? I don't think so.

[Psychominik]

Did you ever play Uplink? I cant stop playing it!!

[Raiden]

uh try Caffine pills or become a insomaniac then!

[grunson]

i have loads of money and software, i hack from the best gateway and still get anoyed when i make a mistake. even though it only takes me a minute or so to get going again. the gateway nuke is danm useful, i have just recovered from a string of mistakes that cost me three gateways and trhee level of my uplink rating.
