Quoting: wojtek88And like Liam and few other Logitech F310 - I just cannot use controller in game which is pretty disappointing.

Doesn't work at all or...?
I have the same controller and works OK, force-feedback and all.

That's pretty impressive, seeing as the F310 doesn't even have force-feedback. :P

Anyway, the reason the gamepad works for you and doesn't for others could be due to different versions of the xpad driver or something else unrelated to the game.

Quoting: ripperThis is great. Could you publish this also as an ical link, so that people can add it to their calendar applications and see it directly in it?

I literally have no idea how it would work, but I'm more than happy to give it a go.

You could generate the calendar file client-side using something like https://github.com/nwcell/ics.js [External Link] (I guess anyone could do this by scraping the page) or - better yet - find an ical generator for your backend scripting language. I've only done this in python and javascript, but there's bound to be a similar library for your language of choice.

So it's just a multi-player time-waster with no content beyond nice graphics, a few maps and slightly different game mechanics among the multitude of multi-player murder simulators out there? Bah! Bah say I. I demand we all return to the good old times when games didn't force us to socialize, but gave us stories to enjoy and worlds to explore. At our own pace, in our own time and in our own pleasurable company preferably, Steam "friends" be damned.

Yes they still make great single player games as well but this felt like a decent excuse for a grumble. I may or may not actually agree with anything in the paragraph above. Except that no multi-player game will ever make me empty my wallet. The price they ask for these half-games is mind-boggling.

Quoting: Comandante oardoFull native or another wrapped game by lazy devs?

Feral hasn't used wrappers thus far. You should expect a native port done by relatively experienced porters.

EDIT: Slow. Didn't see Evo's post for some reason.

SoM seem's quite focused on straight up fighting from what I've seen/read, which is the least interesting part of these games, but here's hoping there's more to it. I'm all about the exploration and the story, and the side quests and stuff like that. The new Batman is bound to be more up my alley.

Quoting: adolsonAC as in Assassin's Creed? What relevance does that have to Shadow of Mordor?

Well Assassin's Creed is one of the best known (although not the best IMHO) game series in the third-person open world action genre. Or whatever you'd call 'em. The similarities are definitely there, noted by several reviewers.

In the FAQ it says: "If funded, Yooka-Laylee will be released for Windows, Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U." But Linux is clearly included in the main text, so this seems to be just a simple oversight. One of you backers might want to get them to fix this anyway. Personally I won't back the project, but probably will buy it when it's released.

Quoting: neffo(Of course that would apply to DX9 Togl games which nobody seems to have an issue with.)

Except that togl isn't an external wrapper. It's built into the game executable itself and working on the code level, not intercepting and translating d3d calls on the fly. There's a difference.

Quoting: tuubiI don't mind more VP ports of relatively old games that wouldn't otherwise get ported at all. I might have to skip this one though. War games rarely float my boat.

Do *not* skip this game. It's not like any other military shooter you've played. It's very story-based, and its story is hard-hitting and beautifully depressing. It's one of those games that makes you really question the "good" guys ... and it really doesn't have much positive to say about anyone in the conflict. There's a point that really makes you feel awful for something you did, and everything after that just makes you less trusting of everything in the game.

Let me get this straight. I should play this game because the story is really depressing and it'll make me feel awful? Would definitely be the first time I ever paid to feel depressed. Normally it's enough to check my bank statement or the news. Or try to trawl for morsels of information amidst all the trolling and flaming on P****nix.

All joking aside, I've seen the Yahtzee review and I'm still not convinced. I know it's anti-war (just like pretty much any good war movie or novel) and that it's all about the story, but I'm not convinced the story is really up my alley. Maybe if there's a great discount at some point. I'm not exactly starved for games at the moment anyway.

Quoting: burzmaliThat seems to be changing these days. I got dog piled pretty hard on r/linux_gaming for suggesting that distributing FOSS as gratis and charging for support is better model than selling licenses.

Well if you do your market research on reddit, you're doing it wrong. Nothing's changing from what I've seen. Of course it would be stupid to charge for support of a game. The kinds of open source software you'd normally get paid support for are the kinds your business depends on.
