Played Metro 2033 Redux for half an hour.
In fact, resolution is included in the general "Graphics Quality" option, which sucks.
The other thing that sucks is that the only anti-aliasing that is available is SSAA, which allows you to play 2K, 3K or 4K on a HD screen. Well, my GeForce GTX660 can't handle that :p So I'm without any anti-aliasing and it's kind of... pixelated sometines.

But on another hand:
- I run this maxed out (appart from SSAA of course :p)
- I run this with PhysiX and that's really awesome
- It never crashed
- It was the best looking thing I ever played on PC

To sum it all up, I'm really, really pleased.
THANK YOU 4A Games.

Quoting: Beamboom

Quoting: facelessSo, Trine: Enchanted Edition, The Talos Principle and Metro Redux games, all really good games judging from Metacritic, released today.

Wait a second - Redux released today too? Oh yay, finally!

Yeah, but no download yet, we've got to be patient !

Just bought and tried it, wonderful.
I already told that, but I'm so glad Feral & Aspyr joined in. Love both these companies and I still have tons of Mac game boxes with their names proudly written on it.

Well, I finished The Witcher 2 on my gaming rig without any further problem or slowdown after patch n°3.
VP guys did a pretty good job at supporting this game and I'm quite happy they did.

BUT. I had to wait MONTHS after I bought the game, with long hours of troubleshooting and looking for any mysterious option that could MAKE the game just playable.

I like what VP guys did, but sorry, I won't buy another port from them, no matter what. No harm intended.
Also Bioshock Infinite isn't worth bothering once again with all this, I mean, far less than The Witcher 2.

If it's true that the port is from eON, it'll be a pass. Unless, of course, early players state it works flawlessly (which I'd situate at around 90% of Windows performance - something The Witcher 2 still isn't up to...).

Quoting: hardpenguin

Quoting: omer666I know I already said that before, but I won't buy this until the first one is fixed.

Bad choice, as the port of the first one was outsourced and the Linux version of KF2 will be made in-house. That is not really comparable :)

I know, but I don't like to be cheated. They told us they would work on it and they didn't, I don't trust them at all.

Quoting: natewardawgI really appreciate them being so open and giving people the heads up about GPU support and a later release.

While they probably have good reasons, I wish the Metro Redux devs would be at least a tiny bit open with how it's coming as I'm starting to wonder if they will ever release it on Linux. I don't think we've heard a peep from them since it was on Pre-Sale.

Allow me to disagree. I didn't see any building tree, any spell book, any blacksmith to equip your troops in Civ5, gameplay elements which I consider are very akin to HoMM. There is definitely some resemblance, but I think that the core gameplay doesn't rely on the same elements as Civ5.

However, you are right concerning bugs in the game, but I have yet to encounter a quest breaking bug (still, they sure exist).

Quoting: antarcticianI think I'll go with:

• Warlock 2: The Exiled [External Link]


• Deadfall Adventures [External Link]

Especially Deadfall Adventures looks like another AAA with good quality port for GNU/Linux. Not sure about the Warlock though, reviews don't seem to be so good.

I'm really enjoying Warlock 2 despite encountering some bugs. The game play is really well thought out and the universe is entertaining. That's a good HoMM-like if you ask me.

I like Deadfall because it reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein in some ways, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

This is strange, I just tested the tutorial and had no crash at all while firing the shotgun...
