Quoting: GuestCan't wait to play this again, the GTX1060 I bought this afternoon is just itching to be tested on this!

I ordered mine yesterday... I hope, once I hold it in my hands, it is as well itchy for the vulkan renderer

I played it like at least 2 years ago and really enjoyed it. Might even more now with a Steam Controller so looking forward to that. =)

You don't necessarily need Avidemux to split the audio track from the video, Audacity will do that as well. What I usually do is use Audacity to split the audio from the video file, add the mic track, clean it up a bit (noise reduction and such), merge the tracks together in Audacity, then merge the video file and the newly created audio track ising mkvtoolnix, since I have no need to reencode the video.

I notice quite often that Game Comment Threads seem to get subverted into threads arguing about Steam or GOG or itch.io or completely unrelated material.

Please could commenting about these non-Game things go into a separate Forum post or Article.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI always thought Torrent sites and cracks did more! ;)

Not in the way of putting some common sense in the thick-skulled heads of legacy publishers. Who besides GOG works to revert their bad practices?

Actually,Gog and Cdpr are also thick-skulled.

Let me give an example to you.

I'm Turkish and you know that Witcher3 is also popular in our country just like whole world.

At the release of game,Witcher3 didn't have a Turkish localization.Which causes too many people to stay away from game at the first sight until a patch(user made) or a localization implementation(official) comes.

But it didn't seem to be happen nearly.So a handful of young students who also love this game,starts to translation.They've put up betas first,they did corrections from feedbacks.It was flawless.In the meantime,they were all in contact with Cdpr.Cdpr is saying them,they will look at it and they will consider it.They said without a notification that game will support Turkish in the future or not,or not a notification.

Meanwhile,people started to buy Witcher because there was a patch for language and it was beautiful.These whole start from beta to full release thing took 8 months nearly.They've also started to work on Blood&Wine and it was nearly over.

After 4 or 5 months,which they all hoped that guys efforts will be rewarded by becoming official implemantation of Turkish locale.They just did volunteerly,they didn't ask a single penny,they also didn't accept donation offers.

And then Cdpr suddenly announced the game will have support for Turkish,but the thing is they hired some other localization group for do this.

Actually,they could be say that we will have a translation but by another team.So this guys efforts are worth for nothing.By the way,there are people out there who still use their translation.

So the thing is,Cdpr looked at sales and they saw increasing charts.Suddenly,they decided to implement localization.They didn't inform this poor guys about other group and they just keep them on stand-by.So,their precious time is gone for nothing.

So my friend,that's how Gog sees the things.All of a sale,nothing more.And that's why they support Mac on their titles,because they think Mac market is worth to be in it.

If you don't believe me,you can ask your friends at Gog or Cdpr.

Gog or Cdpr are not the fairiest being of the market.If you look for them,you can look for Feral Interactive.

I agree, could have "permanent articles" such as this guide, where to buy games (like, Humble vs G2A) and so.

Nice one, i tried OBS a little but i'm not into video, i prefer text, but articles like this makes me want to try more.

Quoting: GuestThis is more of a guide than it is "news".
I'm thinking maybe a new section on the site should be for things like this? Kinda like the twitter/facebook feeds down the side.

I feel the news section is being oversaturated with non news articles.

Eh? I've posted 3 articles that could be classed as guides this entire month. One last month, and before that the last was November 2016.

Respectfully, I completely disagree.

Quoting: ShmerlSteamworks too much. That happens for multiplayer games indeed, which rely on Steamworks servers infrastructure. But for single player games this doesn't apply.

ALL Serious Sam are multiplayer. Even The Talos Principle has some multiplayer functionality (you can read messages on the walls created by your friends). So, if you want a singleplayer game from Croteam on GOG, they can publish... Football Glory.

Quoting: LeopardGOG zealots are on their run again.

(...)That's the GOG view people.

A hypothesis: Shmerl is a Pole and GoG is Polish, wrong vision of patriotism is the culprit for all these posts.

Meanwhile I am a Pole too, and I don't know why a Croatian company should lose money to help a Polish digital distribution platform.

Actually,i don't care about nationality.

I just can't get this passion about a platform which obviously didn't care Linux a bit.

So you want drm free?Go for Itch.io,why especially GOG?

Quoting: Guestintegrated graphics card is still allowing me to play a lot of games

Hey pcavalcanti.

I can't say for sure, but I almost positive that using integrated graphics card on a laptop will result in a low framerate and bad experience, sorry.

Quoting: Guestwill there be a demo made available so that I can test if it will run on my PC

Unfortunately, we don't provide demo on PC, but you always can wait a little, download "demo version" from torrents and test that :)

Quoting: wolfyrionI think you have a wrong idea of what steam really is...and yes you can backup your steam games , and can run them any time you want even offline.

I never tried it, but this has even be reported for some Feral port where the Windows version uses Denuvo.

Quoting: wolfyrionBe free to enjoy everything in your life, dont put restrictions to yourself :P

Quoting: noblemasterWow, you remember Aevum Obscurum! Where you a player back then? Age of Conquest is Aevum Obscurum. Just the name has changed as players had a hard time remembering it.

No, I am too young to have played back in the day, but I did do my research enough to know that Aevum Obscurum was what Age of Conquest originated from, and worked it into the article.

I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed playing your game. :)

Quoting: KeyrockAre the devs porting this themseles?

Hey Keyrock. Yes, we do.

Ok, this smells like a purchase. I like the honest tone of this representative, too. That's how to communicate.

EDIT: I found a review of it too, and from our perspective it looks good:
http://www.psu.com/review/32207/mx-nitro-review

The cons of the game doesn't affect us much, since we don't have the competitors on our platform:

Little personality
Underwhelming presentation
All very familiar

The good sides are more meaty:
Plenty of customisation and upgrades
Decent controls
Bikes handle well

With the conclution: "MX Nitro needed something striking to get noticed, and it just doesn’t have that special spark. It remains a good motocross game, but one that consistently sits in the middle of the mud-sprayed pack."

All in all sounds like a nice title to get on our side of the ballpark.

As i see,you have a specific fetish with Gog.Also this Che Guevera guy too.Which i'm so curious,what cause that?

Simple. When I buy a game DRMFREE on GOG, that game is mine and, once I download the install files, I own it forever; I don't need to request online permision for to install and play MY GAMES... And that is because GOG trust me and that is why I trust them.

Can you install an Steam game from a local backup without an internet connection?
No. Steam IS DRM and the fact that you need online permision for to install a game from a local backup, is evidence that you are not the owner of your games...

The only DRM that I happily accept is EA Origin on my Windows 7 machine, because for the 5 U$D per month of EA ACCESS I can play a lot of big EA games for FREE through EA VAULT... VALVe seriously MUST take note about that...


And yeah, I would like to see an interview to the people at Croteam explaining why they put DRM in their Linux games.

I think you have a wrong idea of what steam really is...and yes you can backup your steam games , and can run them any time you want even offline.
Steam creates a folder called SteamLibrary and on this folder are all your games, just backup that folder and you can have your games anywhere, even on an external hard disk. When you want to format your pc or install steam again you just point your location of your steam library , simple as that and you can play all your game offline(excluded games that require online connection)
Also if I dont have the game already installed or something happened with my PC and lost the game and my saved game data I just click on my library to install the game and by some kind of "miracle" my saved games are there as well since the game supports steam cloud :P

Well I dont have time to analyse to you how steam works since I have to go to work.... but you are missing a lot of things like for example games that are not on GOG. Look we are not going to live forever so enjoy your life while you can, play as many games you can DRM or NOT DRM enjoy life and so on...:)

you reminded me a man that wanted to have sex with a pretty girl and I bring him a very pretty girl 9.5/10 and then he says to me. if she is not a virgin I am not gonna have sex with her....

Be free to enjoy everything in your life, dont put restrictions to yourself :P

Seems to me that a huge reason not to like GOG is that their owners never gave us Witcher (1 or 3). Personally I use Steam because of the workshop (makes managing / downloading mods easy!), plus I have an HTC Vive, plus steam controllers, Link, etc. Pretty much I am now Valve's bitch. But that okay by me. Makes managing the game library REALLY easy.

GOG doesn't even give us auto updates, which with any of the modern games is more or less required. Now if they had GOG Galaxy for Linux, it would do the updates for us.

Quoting: ShmerlI use GOG primarily because they do more than anyone else to advance DRM-free gaming.

Quoting: Comandante Ñoñardo

Quoting: no_information_hereI may be wrong, but I have never heard a dev say "We don't need to port to Linux, those people will just buy it anyway and use Wine."

I think John Carmack said something like that

Thanks to Comandante Ñoñardo for the link to the Carmack quote. I stand (partly) corrected.

However, I have always thought of Carmack as a technology guy, not a business guy. It is the business people who will decide whether Linux is worth porting to. People like Carmack can strongly influence that decision, but at the end of the day it is financial. If the linux market is promising enough, people will port games. My argument was that business people are not looking at wine as rendering the linux market potential zero. It has too small an impact for that.

Linux as a business proposition will stand on its own. Unless Wine suddenly become almost flawless in running 90% of all current Windows games, it does not really compete with porting games. To be honest, though, if was suddenly able to do that, I wouldn't mind at all.

Quoting: ShmerlSince Croteam games aren't found on itch.io either, you are for excluding non Steam users in general. As I said, I find it inappropriate and quite surprised such attitudes are found among Linux users.

If they can and they want to come Itch.io,i will be happy about it.

Quoting: 14No cross-platform is really disappointing. A moment ago, I was about to organize a game day with my friends so we could play after the game is released in next month's Humble Bundle. While I still look forward to playing the game all by myself, playing with my friends was my main excitement.

Just got snagged with this. Does anyone have an up-to-date grand list of cross-platform windows to linux games.

I'm excited to see more games coming to Vulkan this year. I'm going to make an educated guess and say that by the end of the year most games will start to be released using Vulkan due to things like this and the fact that the upcoming release of Unity will have the option to use Vulkan. :)
