I like the style and the animations so much that I'm happy even if the gameplay isn't that great. And if it is great, then ...great! Going on my wishlist for now.

Quoting: haikuThis port is useless, it arrived way to late and the game is running fine via Proton :|

Guess all the people who call out linux gamers asking for linux support on the steam forums to stop using the inferior linux os and start using the - in every way - superior windows os were right after all,

No idea how you came to that conclusion.

I'm pretty sure dvd's comment was sarcastic.

Quoting: The_Aquabatanyone with a PPA that has it already?? oibaf it's on 20.0-dev and sometimes padoka just takes too long.

Take the one kisak provides:

That's the one I linked. :)

This [External Link] is a good one.

It's only for Zen 2 (3xxx series). I have 3700X.

Fixed in Linux 5.4. (latest stable kernel)

RE2 still doesn't run on 5.4.2-1-MANJARO :(.

Might be a different bug then. I'd test, but I don't own a game that's affected.

Quoting: NezchanThe question is, are these the better DLC for it? Or would I need more for a quality experience?

Space Race and Green Planet are the two big DLCs. The former adds AI "opponents", the latter terraforming. So as far as I can tell you're mostly missing out on cosmetic stuff (alternative building skins and additional background music).

On top you should be able to get the "Mysteries Resupply Pack" free on Steam, which can improve replay value a bit by adding more "story events".

Wrong game I think. :)

Quoting: tuubiExactly! I doesn't matter. So why not let the writer decide?

Oh come on. That's cheap. Don't rewrite my point.

I don't think I did, but I guess it would be only fair as you keep ignoring mine.

Quoting: BeamboomThink of any good book you've read, replace the main character with someone of the other sex, and see if that would work. It very likely would!

Easy to find obvious examples if you look outside the fantasy and sci-fi genres. We wouldn't still be striving for equality if gender didn't matter. In any case, this game is not likely to be one that absolutely requires a male protagonist, and that's not even what I argued.

Let's leave this here. I don't think we're going anywhere.

Quoting: GuestAlready bought an AMD RX 5700 XT too late Nvidia.

Even if the unthinkable happens and they actually start properly contributing to Nouveau development, it'll likely be quite a while until it results in perfect open source driver support for their latest gaming hardware. So, maybe we'll actually have more choice the next time we're looking for a GPU. (I got a 5700 XT as well.)

Quoting: Beamboom

Quoting: tuubiI think you're underestimating that effort and the expense,

Might be! Absolutely. I'm no game designer. :)

Quoting: tuubiand overestimating its importance.

I'm sure you'll agree that's subjective, though.

In the sense that some people will enjoy being given that choice more than others, yes, absolutely. But importance in the sense that it would make the story objectively better, or boost sales enough to justify the extra cost (which I assume is very important to the author), I don't think subjective is the word.

Quoting: BeamboomFor me this actually is a big deal! I think it's so, SO much cooler to have an awesome, female protagonist than it is to have yet another beefy explorer. Sure, if a drama is created where gender really do matter, then sure bring it on. But let's face it - nearly all games have a rather shallow story anyways. It's usually just a vehicle of excuses to create action scenes.

But we're talking about adventures here, not action games. And while there are adventure games with beefy explorers as main characters, they're not as common as in shooters.

Quoting: Beamboom

Quoting: tuubiThe claim being that not being able to decide on an identity for your main character limits your ability to write about that character.

Think about that one for a moment.
Let's say you want to write a story about a rogue, independent, anarchistic character that has a problem with authoritative persons and have made a living out of scraps and smaller criminal activities. Raised in an underground community, some of whom sexually abused you under orders of a crime lord, and it's that crime lord you now seek revenge. Hunt him down and tear him to pieces.

I've not yet declared this protagonists gender. And does it really matter?

Exactly! I doesn't matter. So why not let the writer decide? I get that you'd prefer a female, but they might not.

Quoting: BeamboomSo while I do agree that it does take some extra efforts - every added feature will - with today's computing power and ability to render cut-scenes in real-time, I really believe that this is a highly doable option.
I mean - that's why it's more and more common. There was a time where absolutely everything was set in stone.

I still think you seriously underestimate the amount of extra effort and expense this adds to the average adventure game project. Remember, most of them are made by tiny indie studios with limited budgets.

If you want to keep discussing this, maybe we should continue it elsewhere. This is more than a bit off topic.
