Quoting: tony1abI am on a permanent boycott of the company who made the ubiplay DRM system. A pity. It looked good.

Which company is that?

Quoting: LinasI was quite young when I saw Alien for the first time. It freaked me out so much that I woke up that night screaming in my fathers arms. He was like "There is no way in hell you are watching the second one.", and I replied "Are you kidding? That was awesome!", and went back to sleep.

And have you been allowed to? :)

Of course! No way I was going to miss it. :P

Since then it is kind of hard to scare me, but Amnesia succeeded. Although I found Penumbra games to be more captivating, or maybe thrilling is the word. :)

I am actually signed up as a Linux beta tester for this one, so I am quite excited to hear that it is being worked on.

Quoting: liamdaweBad vibrations around eON, where to start? To put it simply it was broken at release for most, and is still terrible for a lot of people.

While I am officially anti eON, I am willing to be proven wrong. I mean, the engine of Witcher 2 is different enough from BioShock Infinite that results from one do not necessarily apply to the other. That is considering that there is nothing fundamentally broken. One can only hope...

Quoting: LinasI am about 60% finished with Dead Island. Great fun, and runs great, even if it is flawed in many ways. But that is not Linux specific.

It's running OK? I'd avoided it because I was hearing terrible things about the linux port.

Not sure what you heard, but it does run fine. The gamma slider does not work, but I experience that in many games. Probably because of Bumblebee.

As for Witcher 2, no the beta is not better. The input lag is ridiculous. You can move the pointer halfway across the screen before it starts reacting. Running at 1360x768 with lowest settings mitigates the problem, but it is still there. So for now sign me up for the official eON haters club.

When this first started, I remember eagerly waiting for news on any new Linux release. Now I am actually losing track of things. Just a few months ago it was 600, and now it is 800. I have to admit that I have a very faint idea of what these 200 are... I guess this is a good thing, right?

I have also picked up Witcher 2 during the last sale, because I wanted to experience eON myself. And holy zombie cow, it is actually as bad as people say. Framerate is sort of barely acceptable on my NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, but I get a massive input lag.

Then there is Everlasting Summer. A naughty game for an exemplary communist in you. :) I guess you have to have experienced Soviet Union to appreciate it though.

This is the next level of stalking. Well, fine, I am not really against it, but I doubt I will be using this. One possible use case that could be interesting is if they made it possible to seamlessly record your entire game, and share "funny moments" with the community. I bet a lot of people would be into that.

Quoting: wingofacrow...I have a rather exaggerated fear of sharks...

Does the game have sharks? With lasers on their heads I assume? :)
