What have you been playing and what do you think?

By - | Views: 58,221

Since the weekends are generally our quiet time, as I take them to spend a little time with family I'm asking a question: What have you been playing and what do you think?

I've been spending more time than I was expecting in Rust. It's strange really, as it's a game I previously didn't get along with at all and now I'm quite hooked on it.

Not everyone will agree with me on this, but I actually think Rust is one of the nicest looking games on Linux. Sure, there's a good bunch that are better, but there's been many moments in Rust where I have to completely stop and just take in the view. That's in-between all the moments of absolute panic when someone fires shots at me and I have no idea where they are.

I want to share this image I took recently too, from a little meet up we did on our server:

We ended up having some sort of in-game concert and it was rather amusing. What makes it even more interesting, is that community member woox2k managed to hook up some scripts (available on GitHub) to play custom music files in game with the guitars and it was incredible.

If you want to join us on our Rust server, details of our game servers are here.

Anyway, less of my ramblings, over to you! Tell us what you've been playing in the comments.

Quoting: iiariHmm, what Distro? [for FS2 open launcher install] Looks like the launcher and all the goodies are packaged for Debian Sid

I used the direct download file from the project website, always on Ubuntu derivatives (Gallium OS, Mint, Gnome). I'm glad it's out there and theoretically install-able by someone, but I've already climbed that mountain and have a working version via Wine and I'm not sure I'm willing to start from scratch again, although I have a tinkering laptop I can try it with again (although not until December after some work stuff is done).

Thanks for looking into it!

I've been playing Arma 3 co-op missions with my Windows buddies. They kindly applied the legacyports build to their clients. It's been pretty hard but very enjoyable. On the single-player side of things, I've been playing The Witcher 3 on PS4. I thought my hours logged were in the 20's, so I was quite surprised when I checked my stats and it was 46 hours or so. It might be, in my opinion, the best game there is to date.

I recently upgraded from a R9 270 to an RX 580 so I have been trying out several games that I couldn't max out with a 60+ FPS to see how they do on my RX 580. I was playing through Soul Axiom but some of the puzzles were just annoying me so I dropped it. Will be trying Dreamfall Chapters later tonight. Depending on how it runs I may try to play through it.

I could say what I'd LOVE to be playing... some of the latest RPGs, and some that I've never gotten around to. The problem is, that I usually end up playing them for 5 or 6 hours before I realize that I should have stopped and did other things (clean house, eat food, poop, sleep, etc). Then I have the tendency to put them down for long periods of time, then pick them up like a year later and play a crapload... and rinse and repeat. Sadly I think I lost my save game for Neverwinter Nights that I'd played forever, but never completed the original campaign...

Divinity Original Sin 2 and Guild Wars 2 every now and then. I haven't played that much in Sin 2, prob just an hour or so, so far.

Quoting: GuestI'm playing Dying Light and I think I'm addicted :D What keeps me constantly going back is the immersive gameplay and the huge world(3 maps!) with the easter eggs. DL is one of the best games on linux and it has linux support from the first day! Its developers will also release 10 free DLCs in the next year so, it seems like they really care about their players.

Would love to try that. Sadly, Valve thinks that this 40 years old German shouldn't be allowed to buy the game or even see it on Steam.

Divinity Original Sin 2?? Are you playing this on Wine?

Now I'm playing Tyranny and quite enjoying it while I wait for Pillars of Eternity 2.

I think it's possible to redeem a key if someone from abroad buys it?
(The someone would not be me, I'm in the same situation...)

Quoting: STiATMount&Blade Warband, since they fixed some bugs in Mesa/LLVM which kept me from continueing my mission to become queen of the land. The time is ripe.

Did you fix the module issue? I had it working fine once I applied fixes with missing pkgs but that was on 16.04 after that everyone including myself seems to be having problems
