What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

By - | Views: 102,615
It's question time today here on GOL, so sit down and come have a chat. Today I ask a very simple question: what game would literally blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

I've asked myself this very same question and while it looks like a simple question, the truth is that it's actually quite difficult to narrow it down.

There's a fair amount of great games we don't have and that's probably a heavy understatement. There's a good 10-20 games I badly want on Linux and narrowing them down was a bit of a task.

I think my all time wish right now would be: Fallout New Vegas.

A game I actually own, as it's one of the left-overs from back when I was dual-booting. I can't bring myself to load up Windows to play it. My Windows hard drive doesn't even fit in my PC case, so it becomes a nuisance to actually load Windows any way now.

Why Fallout New Vegas? I've been a Fallout fan since a young age and I think I've actually played all of them now. I love the world, the style of it and the gameplay is engrossing as hell. It was my favourite of the series by far.

I miss World of Tanks and World of Warships from Wargaming on Linux!

I dream of official support for Arma 3. I love that game and it have plenty of mods that are almost as valuable as entire games, also some of my friends are interested.

Rainbow Six Siege :D
I feel like we're lacking awesome shooters on Linux anyway, but Siege with its destruction, competitive and hero-based gameplay is simply unique, and so addicting!
I'm dual-booting Windows only for this game, and if it were to be ported to Linux... ♥
But it's Ubisoft, and I don't think Siege was one of their top sellers, so I doubt it will ever happen... perhaps in a few years when Siege2 happens and Linux marketshare has grown to something more reasonable :P

Quoting: XpanderGTA 5
Yeah it was a toss-up between that and Fallout for the top spot for me! GTA or something like it would be extremely welcome.

Overwatch and Gta V (or GTA VI at this point... xD)

At this point my mind is thoroughly blast proof when it comes to Linux ports.

But if Santa were to stuff Dishonored ( or shooting for the stars Dishonored 2 ) into the Linux stocking I'd be a very happy camper

The first thing came to mind was Skyrim. The next thing would be Fallout 4. But, Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas would be very welcome additions as well.
