Awwwww :( Man this game looked so awesome!

(and ffs guys, get over that "PC" thing. "Linux" sounds better in every conceiable way anyway.)

You know, I've wanted to start writing reviews for a long time already. This might indeed be the right moment.

Unfortunately this release has not been as well received as the others, and landed on a metascore of around 70. Disappointing.

I'll probably still get it, but on sale.

Flesk, you got to take a look at "ibb and obb", an absolutely wonderful coop puzzler. I was not aware of it until I by coincidence saw it mentioned on the irc channel. It's gorgeous, clever, charming, classic couch coop (with online support) with a simplistic, nice artwork.

It's got a solid metascore so this isn't just me rambling, and is very well suited to play along with your kids too (something I'm looking for these days). I just think that title totally deserves attention in the Linux gaming community.

Looks fantastic. Kinda remind me of No Mans Sky, yet different enough to be of interest.

"The reason they still get flak as people are rather bitter from the initial port performance of The Witcher 2"

I don't believe that's the reason at all, not anymore. They've long confirmed for all that their wrapper is running well indeed.
This very site had an excellent article a while ago that presented a long range of rational reasons why VRs closed-source wrapper is not the way forward for Linux gaming.

My personal problem with it is that it's not native code. Not because native code is guaranteed to run better (as we know in real-life examples now) but for the longer term advantages. But as the article I refer to also pointed out - if VR instead had joined the Wine crew in their efforts to optimize that solution, it would have gained Linux as a whole a great deal more.

I'm still gonna play'em games though. :)

I played Overlord 2 on the ps3.it's a really solid - and fun! - game. Easily recommended.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI've still as yet gotten asked to do the survey on Linux.

I've gotten it a few times on Linux. It's probably just coincidence.

... But what does it mean? Will we get "new"/better versions of the BioWare games built on this engine? Will it be a drop-in replacement for those of us who own those games?

Or.. What?
