How do you cope with Source Engine (Half-Life 2 e.g.)?
It's my second worst...

Quoting: Adamfx990That's funny. I get pretty bad simulation sickness and I find the serious engine to be all right (with its option to make the crosshair static and increasing the FOV to around 91) compared to most first person games. I still struggle to play for more than half an hour though.So, half an hour is on the good end for you? Wow, that's tough...

Quoting: LeopardYou bought it and play it with Wine anyway , why should dev port it? Dev don't have to provide support for you , because you're running it on an unsupported system so it is not his/ her problem.I didn't think of that. It's not only as good - they're getting the money without having to port -, it's even better - they're getting the money without having to port plus they don't need to do support! So it's not only no incentive to port, it's actually an additional incentive not to port. (Still, everybody is free to do as he likes of course. For some, the alternative to using Linux and WINE for gaming might be to not use Linux for gaming at all...)

I was able to reduce it with the settings, but as they introduced special motion sickness settings later, I cannot be the only one...

Quoting: Adamfx990IMO the serious engine is the best engine in the world right now. It runs great on absolutely anything! I'd love to hear what they have to say on this matter.Their engine is the one giving me most motion sickness (monitor, not VR!) I ever had with any engine... :-/

Most of us, including me, are praising Feral for their work. But the developers themselves caring is the true optimum. Except for Feral, that is. But I guess Feral is not in danger of starving due to all games becoming multiplatform. :-)

Quoting: riusmaOK, 36 hours on the game since I bought it (mostly training, but I'm halfway on Laws of War campaign)... I think I'm in love with it! :wub:So you had 36 hours of solo playing fun with it? Cool!

Quoting: BeamboomWell, I do have similar thoughts about a good deal of those releases using the "retro" label as a shield against criticism. The game mechanics/"ai" here - all judged by the video - looks like one of the games I wrote as a hobby project while still in school. I think we are too forgiving as soon as someone take claim of the "retro" label.Where did you release those?
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is officially coming to Linux, port from Feral Interactive

Quoting: BotonoskiI don't understand Life is Strange, or rather I don't understand why its so praised. I went to an Oregon university, I don't understand why anyone would want to experience that virtually with all the worst aspects of it magnified.Because the game lets you break out?
