Quoting: IlyaOne thing that annoys me is that the trailer is just from the movie. I have no idea what the game looks like, not even what genre it is xD

It's basically a cheap and repetitive space shooter (with poor controls on top of that). I wouldn't recommand this game based on the gameplay, but if you enjoyed the movie (and b-movie's acting) you can give it a shot (or try the demo on steam first).

Quoting: GuestI have had zero issue with the original version of Limbo, one of the best games I played on Linux.

You sure it was the Wine port? Because they made a native port later on, and that was good. But the Wine wrapped one never worked properly for me.

Holy Cow! Can't wait for it. I was going to Wine this one but since it's coming as a native I might as well wait for it, the artwork from this dev is amazing.

We will get the native Linux version on GOG, I can guarantee that :D

Well, using a 32-bit OS isn't exactly viable for gaming to begin with. You'd have to have a pretty outdated CPU to not be able to install a 64-bit OS, and Linux installations of any kind don't really use up much RAM(at least, not as much as a 64-bit Windows installation).

Likewise, I got it as a bonus in the GOG Winter Sale. Would be very happy to have a native Linux version.

Quoting: HalKadoLinux office suites are very capable and well polished these days. Our company uses some excel macro's that people rely on but nothing that couldn't be scripted on linux with a little effort.

However, the one thing linux does not have is a decent email client, I think this is the biggest thing crossover/office can solve. MS Exchange is part of life in a lot of organizations, I rely heavily on it. While MacOS has alternative clients that play nice, linux is pretty limited. Linux based clients range from terrible to "ok, but not feature complete". I see something around 15000+ work emails a year, a solid client thats not web based is a must, and nothing I've used on linux comes close to matching the productivity of Outlook, or my personal favourite Airmail. Every year or so I give it another go and there are improvements, Davmail works really well, and there are some nice looking projects like Geary. But so far linux based email clients have always lacked functionality, are clunky, sometimes unreliable, and simply not up to par with whats offered on other platforms. I contemplated going linux for my work laptop but ended up landing on a MacBook, email was a major part of the choice.

In what category did Evolution fall? I'be been using it for the last 5 years or so, and I actually think it's really good. And it supports Exchange, too...

Quoting: Xpander32bit should die allready.. seriously.

make the client fully 64bit also!

No, then people would lose access to the ability to download games that they've paid for the right to play. There must be some alternative in that case: some way to download the game itself on a 32bit system.

all games should be 64bit anyway nowadays.. valve can force devs to make 64bit versions only i guess.

All _new_ games, but _old_ games? Valve should just no longer permit people with 32bit systems to access 32bit games they'e bought & paid for the right to play?

-- edit: at the very least, if they cut off 32bit, allow older steam clients to operate and download material, but the problem is moving on and changing any access / drm internals.

That's the problem with DRM, they just do what they want...

I do think 32bit's been outdated for a long time now, but it raises the question as customers: will we forever be able to play those games we paid for?

I am often left wondering, if Steam suddenly ceases to work on my system, for any reason, what would happen?

The moment after, it's the Steam sales and I empty my wallet on even more games...

Quoting: LukeNukemNow if only those lazy devs who only ever released 32bit versions of their games would actually realise how stupid that is...

That’s not stupid since 32 bit games work on both 32 and 64 bit systems, while 64 bit games only work on 64 bit systems.

There shouldn't be any 32bit systems left in the world anywhere outsides of a museum. 64bit operating systems aren't exactly a new thing. How old does a computer need to be not to be able to run one? oO

Canada was poorly represented in the game so far. Glad to see this DLC. Bought! :)

That's great news! I hope the Linux version makes it to GOG as well. STASIS was one of the bonuses during the last GOG sale! I hung onto it in hopes of a Linux version.

Eeeeewhaaaaaaaat?

But.. the steam client is 32-bit. It uses 32-bit flash for videos. It relies on 32-bit libraries to run on a 64-bit system, but it doesn't work properly on a 32-bit system? By design?

I'm not complaining. It's just fucking weird.

Quoting: MikeA 64bit client would be nice indeed.

This.

LMFAO

Guess.

QuoteThanks for messaging me about it BdMdesigN!

No problem Liam.

I will test this game this week, but i hope they fixed the achievement problem.

It's true that under Linux almost all the AAA games are 64 bits only except the very first ones like Wargame EE. Sooo it makes sense to drop 32 bits distro support. But in that case they should release a 64 bits only client.

Yes! Finally!

Quoting: LukeNukemNow if only those lazy devs who only ever released 32bit versions of their games would actually realise how stupid that is...

I don't really care whether they do that _also_. But having no 64bit-version is a no-no, as is not testing whether the 64bit version runs.

Quoting: fatriffIf you aren't happy using the Cloud version then you need to take a good look at where the world is headed because all applications are going to eventually be cloud based.

Moving towards cloud based applications does not equal moving towards a future without any local applications. People will still need the advantage of being able to use their software without being connected to the internet.

There are also plenty of places in the world where people don't have a very stable internet, and places they don't have internet.

Quoting: madmachinationsNice, you might say we're "waiting for godot" then :V
hahaha-hehehe-hohoho *blows his brains out*

I don't get it...

For real, or are you being sarcastic?
Waiting for Godot
Presumably was the point of them calling it that. Actually, by co-incidence the university library I work at has a piece of in-house software also called Godot; it does search-y stuff and I presume early versions were s-l-o-w to make with results.

I didn't get a free key, but hey the game is only $0.99. So of course I bought it. If I only get an hour or so of game time out if it then the investment was well worth it.

Quoting: Mountain ManThat's the one that has me pissed off the most. And I know they know about it because I emailed them, and they said they were aware of the problem. It's ironic because ETS 2 was one of the games I was most looking forward to playing with the Steam Controller.

Since ETS2 is, well, a PC simulator, their controller backed must be much more sophisticated than other games, because they must support a wide selection of custom controllers that the sim community uses. So I don't think they use abstraction layers like SDL 2. So something with the way Steam handles joypads is interfering with their games.

I not saying that as a escuse for then. I really want they put more effort on this.

Quoting: LinasIf the game actually needs to be hacked to work in Wine or Wine needs to be hacked to make the game work, I think the effort is better spent making an actual native port instead.

End rant. :P

I would want to claim that these are somewhat distinct scenarios (well, they could both happen at the same time, but conceptually). If the game needs to be hacked, depending how much, sure, point taken. If Wine needs to be hacked . . . then the result is, after the game works Wine is a little bit better. If enough people do that, Wine might be quite a lot better. Da power o' open source in action.
