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...

Leszek could not finish the Deadfall port, hence explaining why its quality is not that great.
The problems seem to come from the editor and not from the man, who's a really nice guy.

If you're saying Feral is not good just because of the 64bit-only binaries for Xcom, that's ridiculous.

Aspyr was a great Mac developper, it's now an awesome Linux porting team !
And GamingOnLinux, well, you see I'm always around :p

I had it on Mac OS X back when it was released.
I actually thought it was pretty good, even if it was different from BG because of the team management and character creation.
