Search for a way to get home in 'Estranged: Act II' now on Linux

If I don't like cliffhangers, is Estranged part 1 worth playing alone? Is it a complete(d) story?

Amazon Lumberyard game engine is no longer going to support Linux, not enough demand

Quoting: TheSHEEEPSure, but none of that is any proof that the game will ever come out. At that rate of progress, they would have to uphold their scheme for about 5-10 years more.
And I have serious doubts they can do that.

What I expect is a half-finished something to be cancelled in 2 years or so.
Start Citizen is already "out enough" so people are actually having fun with it!

I expect the game to grow and grow, people having fun with it, paying for it, and,
as Chris Roberts officially states: "Star Citizen will never be really finished." [External Link]
As long as this works for him and his customers - why not?

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThere are STILL people believing Star Citizen will ever come out?
Impressive!

Optimism never dies ;)
I'm neither fan nor hater, but according to my favorite game magazine, they are making good process are creating - and showing - stuff that I've never seen before (shooting through holes in ships, ships flying in mother ships, ...).

The Talos Principle VR will have Linux support

Quoting: TeqVR is not overhyped, but it's absolutely true that you have to see it to believe it. The best analogy I've come up with, which isn't great, is that it's the difference between seeing a picture of the Eiffel Tower, and actually going to the Eiffel Tower. Really night and day.
I felt like after sitting in front of monitors for over three decades, I was now stepping into the monitor.

What have you been playing and what do you think?

Quoting: TobiSGDWould love to try that. Sadly, Valve thinks that this 40 years old German shouldn't be allowed to buy the game or even see it on Steam.
I think it's possible to redeem a key if someone from abroad buys it?
(The someone would not be me, I'm in the same situation...)

Quoting: pedrojmartmI think it is my processor what make me have that FPS count. I have a GTX 1070 on a 25560x1080 monitor, but i have an old Intel Core i7 870 CPU :/
While they say gaming is mostly GPU bound these daays, I fear that's time for an upgrade... :)

Quoting: tumocsI got finally back into Wasteland 2 in intention to finish it.
It's absolutely brilliant but also crashy as fuck unless you pump up ulimit just for the game.
I like my shittalking pacifist hippie leader and idiot massive strongwoman who hits shit with a bat.
Same here, I stream a LP and also plan to finish it this time around. I can't even start the game without increasing ulimit to 4096 for it. After that it's mostly OK. I've had sessions where it worked for 8 hours straight without a hitch and others where it crashed after an hour at the loading screen. Not sure those crashes are ulimit related, but they might be.
I played through Wasteland 2 and if I'm not wrong I did have one crash. At most. And what's this ulimit thing? What does it do? I surely didn't touch it.

Wow...
