While I do read reviews before buying games, there's not a single negative comment that I read that convinced me at the time.
The main reason is that while PC gaming is broader than say Mac or Linux gaming, I think it is way more narrow-minded, because of a phenomena of reinforcement. A game that's talked about will be all the rage, and at the end of the day, tastes in PC-gaming, if we look at the big picture, are rather poor/basic.

That's how I explain why some people see things that I don't see. And first and foremost, DoW II doesn't remind me of a MOBA at all. That's micromanagement pushed to the extreme, with some RPG elements, and it makes me think of Myth or Canon Fodder. Again, anyone can make his own links to other titles, anyway I can't help but to think that people say it's a MOBA because MOBA is what's being talked about nowadays, that it's a very divisive topic, and that it means a lot of negative concepts to people's mind, including free-to-play and pay-to-win.

The fact is that it's the main argument for negative comments, and it's an argument I don't find convincing at all. So, we'll see.

Quoting: ZeloxSomething Bungie founded that Microsoft shamelessly bought during development hell

Fixed for you ;)

Wasnt bungie always a Microsoft game dev team?

Anyways, now halo is a cash cow,
and are only out on plebb boxes :/.
Im not buying any more consoles,
my last one was the 360 that died with red light of death :(

Bungie was a studio that released only original Apple Macintosh games up to Myth, which was their first PC/Mac game, and Myth II which was ported to Linux by Loki Software back in the day. The studio founder, Alex Seropian, left after the Microsoft buyout. I don't remember if he even completed the development of the first Halo, but he surely has nothing to do with the followups.

I've been looking at this game for quite some time now as it is inspired by Myth from Bungie. Can't wait to test this.

I know, but I want the 1.0 version, which means I want the game to be finished. But thanks anyway !

Quoting: g000hIt is very typical in the gaming industry for practically all game companies to insist on signing an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for anyone who is working on any aspect of a game (external contractor or internal staff). Then the company controls information about game releases. It is usually set up so that release information is meticulously planned through the marketing team.

In their case, nothing is planned if you ask me.

I swore to never buy a TripWire game ever again. But then, if it's Aaron porting it over, I'll buy it anyway.

About TripWire, the way this company communicates (or doesn't, obviously) is really getting on my nerves. The deletion of both the website entry and the tweet confirms their intention to fool their customers. Remember that we never had - and will obviously never have an official statement on why they won't fix KF1 on Linux.

Quoting: FireBurnGentoo User here, I had to copy some libraries from ./ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to ./steamapps/common/ShadowOfMordor/lib/x86_64/

I didn't have to do this when I first got the game, I'm not sure if it was caused by the Mordor update or a Steam client update, or simply the libraries on my system being too new now

To be clear the STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled so it should be using the provided libraries rather than the system ones (which are now too new to be compatible)

It could be caused by the recent change in the way the Steam client handles the runtime and local libs. I have no idea what they did, but setting STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 reverts to the old behaviour.

I've got this problem as well, and exporting the variable you provided fixes it.
I've got to tell that it affects all Feral games. I'll see if I can find any other workaround.
