Yes, just saw it a moment ago, as it is currently on special sale, 20% off....
Already own it though - from one of the HIBs. But to my shame I have to admit I didn't even find the time to install it so far, not to mention playing it :O

Quoting: GuestI actually blame gaming customers because most of them are kids and/or are completely unrealistic in their views. Just read through the steam forums or reviews for any game title to see it....

That we agree on. However in this case I think the customers are right. I'm not saying the game is bad, but I am saying the dev/publisher is wrong and deserves it. They can turn it around, but they need fix their mistake one way or another. Release it, or refund. I haven't played the game, but if it is as good as you say there is no problem with them releasing it. Nothing would stop them from continuing to update it, or add new content and they would not get this level of backlash for releasing DLC's.

Quoting: m2mg2This is absolutely ridiculous. They had to know the kind of reaction it would get and they did it anyway. It isn't bad reviews causing the problem, they caused the problem by choice. Some people have suggested it is due to lawsuit costs/losses, which makes sense. Players did not cause those loses and they should not be paying for them. People have already paid for an incomplete game, the company should be making good on what people already paid for. They should not be crapping on people that already paid, to try and get more money from them. It is a horrible precedent. It says to devs, hey you can get people to pay for unfinished products. Not only that, but you can get them to pay for more unfinished crap before you finish the crap they already paid for. You don't ever even have to finish a product, just keep putting all the unfinished crap you want out there and have people pay for it. If you get some unexpected costs come up that has nothing to do your customers, who cares just make an addition to your unfinished crap and charge them for it.

If they really needed the money, they should have released the product and then released a DLC.

Some people may not have a problem with this, obviously most people do. Overwhelming so, if think it is ok you might want to more thoroughly consider the other side of the argument. I'm not saying you're wrong, you have the right to your point of view. There are really good reasons people are opposed to this.

Correction, people have paid for an incomplete game that gets weekly if not daily updates to the codebase and new content constantly.

That isn't a correction at all, it is just additional information. Just because a product gets updates does not make it complete or released. An unfinished product pretty much has to get updates in order to become complete.

You're acting as if the game is in an unfinished state, lacks content, and is problemed. You're incorrect on all counts... It's unfinished because they are adding so much. It is a complete gaming experience in regards to content by all means. It has been a complete experience since the day it was released. The only thing that is unfinished is the optimization. They could stop adding content now ( or 8 months ago ) and the game would be a complete gaming experience. You're going to fault a dev for going way up and above and adding insane levels of content to a game? You need to take your anger to devs that have poor update cycles and release full releases that are BS instead of directing it towards devs that give way more than they need to in order to make a product completely awesome instead of just "finished"... Game devs must have the worse jobs in the entire world trying to please gamers. Do everything great and one thing that people deam wrong and you go from a very postive review to a terrible review. No rewards for the good only hate and damn nation for the one "mistake"...



/Jason

Um... Early Access is by definition unfinished. It hasn't been released in any way other than Early Access. There are known issues, mentioned in several threads on this website and I think even in this thread. So I'm not wrong on any counts. You can just say you don't agree with my point of view. Continuing to make completely inaccurate statements does not promote your case. You seem to have anger with dev's of other games which you need to take up with them. They could release the game and keep adding content to the base game and release DLC's, lots of developers do this and customers do not have a problem with it. They could refund the money for people that bought the DLC and the reviews would turn around. They could release it and reviews would likely turn around. They want to keep it Early Access and charge for DLC, why? If as you say it is so much better than released products, there would be no issue with that. You are blaming customers for a situation that is clearly the developers fault.

Please find something I am actually wrong about before you make a "correction" or call me wrong again.

Quoting: leillo1975.....great game, finally I could play it with my daughter. One Question, can I play in two computers with only Steam Account in local? Can I play in Linux and my daughter in Window$?

That's LAN, this is local co-op (same computer).

Quoting: EagleDeltaAs much as I really, really hate the long waits for a port, I have to say the of the "bigger" games ported to Linux Rocket League and Divinity: Original Sin EE have a polish and stability that I simply haven't seen in many AAA ports to Linux.

This.
I've just given Rocket League a spin and I spent a *lot* of hours in Divinity (it ended up being my GOTY-vote last year) and they both are fantastic ports.

I just noticed it was in this month's bundle. Lucky me! Plenty of Linux games :)

Yes! I'm stoked! ready to play this with my kid! (I'd actually love to play with my wife, b/c I think she'd really like it, but she's too busy right now)

I think it is local co-op, as in, co-op on the same computer :)

And frankly, I've been waiting for this for such a long time. Sadly enough, I can't really play it at the moment :/

Quoting: LeyRoseAnyone else having trouble getting any controllers to register? I've tried both an Xbox 360 controller as well as a Steam Controller (in both Big Picture mode and out of it) and RL doesn't seem to register anything at all. Still, super excited about finally having this game on Linux!

I did not have a problem with the gameplay working on my custom Steam Machine and a Steam controller. However, it does not seem there is any way to chat with friends with just the Steam controller in game, had to get a bluetooth keyboard to type in those boxes. It is nice that during game, they give you hotkeys for quick chat messages (left d-pad on Steam controller).

The game runs very smooth so far for me. The only problem is one crash while loading a game. It crashed twice with the person I partied up with (also on Linux).

This game is fun. While it has been frustrating waiting while the devs are mostly silent, this game already seems worth the wait. The game seems to be at a good state and doesn't seem like the beta tag needs to last long.

This game is so difficult! I got it in a bundle ages ago and decided to give it a go, but holy Moses doing the levels in reverse for the extra achievements gave me nightmares...

I'd be real interested in the porting process notes from Ryan or Tim.

Quoting: ShugyoushaI wonder why he left id Software (and when). I faintly remember reading about him leaving at one point.

Because he realised they suck. /jk

would be nice if they actively supported Linux.

Quoting: Comandante oardoWAIT!

THE TTimo is responsible of this??? The Linux porter of Doom 3 and Quake 4??!

Or is another Ttimo?

I just admire him. This guy has been doing an impressive job and now he's back in business, I'm elated. I can't wait to see what he's up to next.

As to why he left id software, remember it was acquired by Bethesda, which is as harsh towards Linux and FOSS as one can possibly be. Remember that they put a patent on Carmack's reverse, the one technology that allowed early 2000s computers to render Doom3's realtime shadows, which led him to code another way of doing it for open sourcing the engine, as it was a blocker. Also they are currently suing the man himself for his works on VR that they accused him of stealing, as he was allegedly working on it during his time at id.

Those guys aren't friendly at all, and I think TTimo, as the company's Linux porter and networking technician, just wasn't in a nice working environment anymore.

If you're a fan of platformers, it's a good game to get, and very cheap, too!

I liked the looks and navigating the in-game menus by typing the options was a nice touch. The dictionary in use fits the environment and is vast enough to not seem repetitive, at least during the time span of the demo. But on the other hand the demo is too short to let you play with some of your skills/perks/stats and I am still not sure if there will be ones later on that improve on hidden, overlapping or otherwise unreadable text. Sometimes words lock you in typing mode while they are off screen, other times they are hard to make up through the blur.

I remember a strange choice at the end of the demo, but cannot remember which option I chose. Will at least keep it on my wish list for a sale if I am not lucky enough to win a copy.

Since the guy has been working for id Software before, it would be a rather large coincidence if it was another one :P Didn't he do *all* the Linux ports of id Software's games?

Yeah, I quite liked it right up to the "spinning screen" thing at the end, which felt totally unfair to me, because it requires you to use skills that you never develop during the game. Unless you are a veteran of Super Hexagon, then I guess it would be a piece of cake.

There is a environment prefix you can run before (and inline) the game command to disable vblank, I think its like GL_VBLANK=0 or some crap, you will need to search up about it as I only used it a few times a fair while ago.
