I'm happy with this and I will buy as soon as possible. Thank you Uber for supporting Linux!

If that's what we deserve, then I'll be happily spending my money on the numerous other games awaiting in my wish list.

Sorry but their resources are not more limited now than they were when they promised the port to us in order to get our money.

I did not preorder it, nor was I waiting for it to be released, but that's yet another poor excuse that'll only cost them money because of refunds.

So, yeah, so long Gauntlet. We will not miss you.

Quoting: cdnr1Supreme commander is better

That's some very useful comment you wrote here.

Quoting: CybaCowboy(though I've never played the "Mega Man X" games, which are supposedly much better than the originals).

Allow me to disagree! I think the very best Mega Man were released on the NES and the B&W GameBoy. Mega Man's famous gameplay truly unfolds when you keep it simple, really, that's why all 3D adaptations failed. Mega Man X was really great graphics-wise and story-wise, though and the spin-off Mega Man X: Command Mission was a true gem.

This aside, I'm really looking forward to playing this on my rig!!!

It's incredible to see such well crafted ports of really great games. I really hope to see more coming soon, you've got my sincere admiration.

Quoting: loggfreakfor gaming i'd say mouse accelleration should be off always, unless you haven't got enough room for your mouse to move larger distances and still need to be accurate

Again, you seem to be a CS player. Fatal1ty himself used acceleration extensively on Quake 3.

But indeed you are right, a flawless sensor allows you at least to disable it completely.

Quoting: InokiNot sure I understood everything correctly, but if it doesn't support acceleration it definitely wouldn't end up on my desk since I need that feature.

It simply means that there is no built-in acceleration. People that don't like it can actually disable it (a good share of great Quake 3 players used acceleration at the time, but CS players hate it.)
In fact that's what I've been doing for years with my original Razer Abyssus, yet another mouse that didn't need drivers and had switches on its back, known for its extreme precision and reliability, but at the same time, its lift-off distance is ridiculously high and its ergonomics are crap.

Great review by the way!
I did the exact contrary compared to you: I went from my Razer to a Logitech M500 Refresh and... I don't regret it. Some high-end "office" mice have come a long way, and it's really obvious with this one. I started playing with acceleration again, and I love it. Don't know why, maybe I'm a damn freak, but as long as it enhances my aim I don't care. Maybe when I have the time I'll share what led me to that choice, but after 10+ years using Razer mice, it was a pretty tough one.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: evergreenthis port would bring mass of people to linux!

... like all those ports of big games before did!
Erm...

BTW, when Steam for Linux went public, we had 2% of Linux users, now it's 1. :-(

Steam user base has also been growing exponentially these years. In fact if Linux user base maintains at ~1%, it means that it's growing the same way as the rest of the user base. See: https://steamdb.info/blog/valve-at-gdc-2015-recap/ [External Link]
[Edit] Well, in fact, after doing some maths, Linux user base has almost not grown... my mistake.

Quoting: amelcherHey guys I'm the guy in charge of the Mac and Linux ports. Glad it seems to be working great for most people, I put a lot of work into these ports. The Humble drmfree build should be updated soon and Flying Wild Hog will likely update the store page with the platforms soon as well. That said if you buy it on steam you will be able to play it on Mac and Linux they simply haven't enabled the icons on the store page. If you have any issues please feel free to voice them on the steam forums. Thanks for the article :-D!

As I already told you on Steam forums, you did an awesome job and you deserve much praise.

I'd wish... No, I NEED Homeworld Remastered. Badly.
