Quoting: liamdaweThat is what I refer too.

... And that is what you should stop referring to. :)
User ratings are worthless for anything but occasional - and very sporadic - entertainment. It most definitely is not a good source for a game rating.

But we've had this discussion before. I'll just take it as my task to tag the metascore to the articles when relevant! I am nothing but a humble public servant. ;)

What we have here is a bad game that now seeks a source for a few more dollars before they call it the day.

Well, to pitchfork one developer wouldn't be enough. Meanwhile I have 300+ Games for Linux on Steam and my Homedir is a bloody mess :/ Some save in My\ Games, others in .local/share, other create their own (Dot-)Directories and so on.

I think thats something which should be discussed with Valve & the Developers, esp. if there is an useful Standard.

On the other hand, it's on my gaming machine, so I'm not really bothered by it. :D

Back to the game: It also runs pretty well on my Nvidia GTX 8800 (9 years old). No problems at all so far.

It's an awesome game and I waited to play the new 1.3 update on Linux, which adds lots of new stuff to game. :)

Quoting: mulletdeathI love horror and I love point and click adventure, so surely they'll be good together, right?

We'll there's been plenty of point and click horror games made since the nineties, so why don't you find out. :) You could get started with some of the free ones like Yahtzee's "Chzo Mythos" quadrilogy of adventures, if you don't mind the low resolution.

I have been dying to get my hands on this since the moment I found out it was coming to Linux-based operating systems... It's never every game I go out of my way to buy on Launch Day, but this is one such game!

Quoting: MayeulC

QuoteAdded -savedirectory parameter to specify your Terraria folder. (By default this is <user directory>/My Games/Terraria)

They don't seem to respect the XDG guidelines (yet) :(

Anyway, I have it in my library, but I couldn't play it yet.

Sadly, I don't expect them to reconsider this on their own any time soon, unless of course we grab our pitchforks and demand they change the default savedir to one respecting the xdg standards :/

I hate it when I reinstall games on a different computer/installation/partition and have to manually reconfigure everything the way I like it (especially small 2d games I might install on my laptop for holidays etc).

The way I see it changing the save path to a subdir of $XDG_DATA_HOME or sth else is (or should be) done so as for the picky users to not get disturbed over it and I'm totally not going to like having to set this myself manually whether it's done once or a million times.

Quoting: pete910Well forget trying to run it with a AMD GPU, seems it dont like them. Log states corrupt memory . :(

http://steamcommunity.com/app/361550/discussions/2/535151589900556719/

A few other games suffer from the problem on this engine. Which is odd seen as the benchmarks of theirs work fine

Anyone else with a AMD GPU have this problem on here?

7870 here. I've been suffering this bug with Relics of Annorath as well.

Yet another one in the Not Worth Full Price™ series.

I can confirm that the FPS seem to be capped as we get 60 FPS on both a GTX 970 and a GTX 750 Ti SC.

We've built dungenous and giant Metroid Statues among many other awesome things of variety in our various Terraria Maps. Maybe I can share some screenshots when I copy that world file over.

I think the data wasn't meant to go into ~/My Games/ - and that is infact simply a undesired mistake in the code.

The game seems to crash for clients when I host a server when they enter certain parts of the world probably due to problematic objects that have minor bugs.

Terraria is addictive, especially with friends - you have been warned. :)

That is certainly creepy. I like the art style a lot, it's really nice.

Quoting: KelsUgh, here's the dev's response to someone asking if they can change FoV:

QuoteSorry. We set the optimal FOV that more conviniant for Cradle world.
You can not change FOV.

An answer like that suggests that they not only haven't put in an option to change it, they're actively resistant to doing so. My interest in the game has dropped considerably.

At least they are going to add a possibility to rebind keys and inverting mouse Y-axis, which I asked myself as inverting Y-axis is really important for me. I've always played FPS games like that.

FOV isn't that important for me as I don't get motion sickness and I've never had problems with FOV myself, but I'm not that happy about their comments about it. If they had better attitude about it, I would almost certainly buy this game. But for now I'm going to keep an eye on it.

Quoting: khalismurI also doubt Aspyr would port KOTOR or NW2. Maybe DA: O...

Well, Aspyr has just ported KOTOR 2, why would they not port also KOTOR in the future?

I was lucky enough to be on the beta too... its looking promising. It has a marvel vs capcom feel. Animations are great too

Just notice the character you choose is part of a dlc...

I guess the release will be quite soon, considering the beta seems to be in such a good shape already :3

This one has been brewing for a while, and I am excited to finally get my hands, or should I say fists, on it. ;)

Liam, do you happen to know who is doing the port?

Awesome game, awesome devs. I am very happy that this game got ported and that it works. I am confident that it won't be long until the Linux (and Mac) version will be out of beta and as stable as the Windows version.
I am also very happy that they are still bringing more content to this game (When 1.2 came out I thought that was the last big update)
I really recommend playing this game with at least 2 other friends, only then you'll feel the real experience and have a lot of fun.

Well I think I can finally stop maintaining my Wine prefix... I only have 3 games installed on it and I don't play them anymore. Torchlight 2 and Terraria were two big reasons I kept it, but both got ported. On the other hand there's Skyrim (but I don't think there's any chance for a port there) so I'll keep the game data and mods around for when I'll want to play it again. About a year ago I ditched Windows for my first real Linux experience, and now I also ditch Wine. I feel so good now xD

Quoting: BeamboomA metascore of 55% after 26 reviews on PC, 57% after 35 reviews on the PS4. That's not "mixed", that's "bad". In the sake of public information I felt the urge to share that info. :)

From Steam:

QuoteUser reviews: Mixed (1,284 reviews)

That is what I refer too.

For those that do not follow TotalBiscuit (and are more interested about the game rather than SJW-nonsense) he did a pretty good first impressions video about Victor Vran, which pretty much covers everything you might want to know before purchasing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KlZkAZILZc

Metacritic? Seriously?

79% and lower deserves damnation too. I mean, what game in my library didn't meet Metacritic standards? /s

I played the Steam version of The Raven a while back and I also experienced a lot of graphical glitches and path-finding issues. The most noticeable graphical issue for me was that some characters would sometimes be missing the top of their head. When I first started the game, it was set to a much too high resolution, so that I couldn't see any of the options in the start menu. I had to click around blindly until I managed to set it to a lower resolution. There were areas on the train and on the ship that I didn't even know I could walk to initially, and I was sure I was missing the solution to a puzzle when I was unable to progress for a while. And even after finding those areas, I had problems going back, since clicking in just the right spots was so difficult. Even with those issues though, I still really enjoyed the game, and it was a pretty neat twist towards the end (even though you'll probably be able to call it a while before it happens).

Nice release. I'm interested in the game but read a lot of negative press/comments. Might pick it up when it is on sales.
