I can vouch for the Roccat Tyon I have, but they also have cheaper and less featured mice although all with great sensors which is what matters such as the new Roccat Kone Pure with the Owl Eye sensor which has received great praise. Don't know about their support though(like this one with the owl eye) as the guy that worked on the linux drivers stopped doing so. As for cheaper options(hello Samsai!) chinese mice like the redragon m902 or the james donkey 325 have great reputation and use AVAGO sensors.

Quoting: tofuheadwe tried that with my daughter.. because I'm long time Ultima player I had high hopes on this.. started out nicely, but after arriving to the city it just seemed aimless walking. just a bit too open and without a story to our taste. we went back to skyrim.. even if we need to play it in wine, it works perfecly, and delivers a story, quests.. something that is very needed when playing time is limited. and also, it's why I play games :)

maaaybe, i check on this again after a year.. but as for now.. nah.

.b

This also delivers a story and quests, problem is that only one of the three main quest lines is fully implemented, don't know about the single player part but I believe that is unfinished too, and quest givers don't have an obvious sign over their heads like modern MMOs have so I can see how that might turn people off.

Quoting: GuestFor anyone interested I suggest waiting for the next free period to try it. The game is far from finished. It is lacking in PvE content and needs serious optimization (both for a better framerate and lower RAM usage – you’ll need at least 16 GB but I read that it can go above that). Also player housing has its downsides as you sometimes wander through ugly and empty player towns.

There was a bug that was causing double loading of assets that's why memory usage was that high, but I believe that it has been fixed. Don't quote me on that though because I haven't played it since the last update.

also this is the same person who liked ME : andromeda and no man sky ...and those both where horrible shit..and flopped so badly..oh and he hated starcraft2 also (if I remember correctly)...and he is one of the most Hypocritical & egotistical (Amateur) reviewers.

and saying that he lifted his SEGA boycott just to reviews this game doesn't make the situation any better ...it makes it way worse..why? try to figure out for yourself at times.

Uh, I might not agree with TotalBiscuit, I might not like what he likes, but in his reviews, he always tries to point out all the flaws and all the pros of each game, regardless of him liking it or hating it. He states quite often that whole point of his reviews is not to tell you what you should like because he likes it, but gives you general overview on how the game is played, what problems the game might have and what is nice on that game using constructive arguments.

Also, he does reviewing for living, so technically he is professional.

Don't mind him. He is either obviously trolling or being a kid who has no idea what he is talking about. Claiming that TotalBiscuit hates StarCraft II while he has a dedicated SC2 channel [External Link] is flat out dumbass. Moreover, again claiming that TotalBiscuit liked No Man's Sky is a shameless lie cause he hated overhype [External Link] surrounding the game so much that he rejected [External Link] covering the game itself. Seriously what the hack?

apprently I remember/confused him with someone else as I really haven followed him in years, is also happens that I wrote this 3-5am that didn't help at all either...also human memory is like wikipedia (aka you or anybody can edit your memory)...at least so sorry about that..

but anyway that people think that he or anybody else are professional just show how much we trust these people when you can trust them as much as IGN reviews.

I personally only check random gameplay streams to check the game out and if there is beta or a demo I will try it, and if some of my friends have bought it I will ask their oppinon, I also check pro gamers/streamers that are good on different type of games, so now with DoW3 I look at some "pro" RTS gamers/streamers and see what they think on some stuff...and that could adjust just little bit my opinon ...aka IF I think game is 7 or 8 their opinon can affect what side I lean on (7 or 8)...at least if there is some stuff that I'm not familiar with and I cant really give an opinon ...like some balancing stuff.

the last thing, about why u shouldn't read too much in to the metacritc reviews (at least), as most of the negative comments are 0/10 and when u check those accounts its their only game review ...and unfortunately there is no system to check that you have played the game and you can make how many account as possible, so you can't really trust those reviews...as it can be just one person makeing those reviews. And what about steam reviewes?...its also problematic but not as bad metacritc.
one issue is that there is only "like" or "dislike" option, plus many of the negative reviews have only 1-2h of playtime which does raise questions. One thing I have notice is that the rate of positive reviews is increasing (slowly but it is)...its now ~60% positive, have to see what the record is in 1month or so.

also one of the latest AAA games that Feral ported to linux got also mixed reviews, and it was Deus Ex: Mankind Divided [External Link] (metacritic review) [External Link] ...

Spoiler, click me

I liked it, oc it had problems but so did Human Revolution actually in many stuff mankind divided was a nice upgrade from Human Revolution..MD story was maybe the biggest problem but not a huge one...I think it was fine

But I never brought metacritic to this discussion, nor I care about it. That's why I went to someone that actually played the game for a reasonable amount of time, and also has played all the other games people are comparing it to like coh2 and dow2. And that person refers all the criticism around the game, and he refutes some of it, and he backs some of it, and he goes on to point out how the gameplay differs from the previous installment and how limits you from doing stuff you could do before and how it forces you to behave in a determined way instead of teaching you how to deal with what it is trying to prevent, etc.

So based on all that I really don't see a reason to get it as it is right now, unless one of my friends ends up getting it and I will be able to play with them as they are on windows.

About Mankind Divided, I appreciate it's available on linux but I find it insulting it's more expensive then Human Revolution which is not on linux and has twice the content. Heck, that's why it has so many bad reviews in the first place from windows users, so it's trice as bad from a linux user point of view.

Quoting: zimplex1I hope it comes to Linux, but this looks like the worst Dawn of War game ever so I won't let this atrocity touch my hard drive.

if you are talking about those over negative comments/reviews on metacritc or steam, you have to keep in mind that this happen to DoW2 also because it was so different from DoW1 and CoH2 got A LOT of negative reviews in metacritic [External Link] from russians

anyway most of the negative comments have been that its not the DoW1 or DoW 2 remake what they wanted...and/or because it has some MOBA, Starcraft and Warcraft 3 elements and that means it's exactly like those games gameplay style...with that logic DoW2 is way more MOBA than DoW3.

what DoW3 really is, it's a combination of the previous games and with some borrowed elements of other games to enhance experiense, some will like them or not...you can't please everyone.

another negative comment has been about the graphics that they are too "cartoony" and the animation aren't that great..
I personally don't really see this, okay maybe some areas of the maps...maybe little bit.
What Relic wanted to make DoW3 to look more closer to the table-top's figurines...thats why it's more colorful and that doesn't make it cartoony. DoW2 (and 1) was also "cartoony" just more darker...also if u check 40k art style there is some that are really colorful and some are darker, if you prefer the darker style that's fine, it doesn't make this any more wrong/bad.

anyway, is this game perfect? oh god NO but the core elements are good, the only problem I have with it is that there is only 3 factions and little bit to few MP maps and 1 game mode.

some of these things were postponed and will arrive later (unfortunately), but the biggest question is that how (and when) will these arrive....the good thing is that there is MOD support and there is already few maps made, and at least on CoH2 Relic did add the most popular ones to the game

so I would give this game a 7 or 8 in its current state...and as Relic has been working a lot with the community before to fix stuff in CoH2 I do think DoW3 has good future, plus the game seems to run way better than CoH2 or DoW2...thank god.

What worries me the most and lends credibility to all the criticism is

I cant stand people like TotalBiscuit or angryjoeshow nowdays as they arent what they where before...I dont like them for different reasons TotalBiscuit is horrible gamer and his opinions are just all over the place and his part of this stupid "pc master race shit" same goes with angryjoes (more or less) but what makes it worse with angryjoe is that his has become complete sellout and really lazy.

Regardless of your opinion of him, in that video he does point out all that you also point out, the difference is that he also points out the bad, not just what you care about, and you have to accept that.

well if u have check out some of my comments I have said that there are bad things but they aren't really THAT bad...
like some features were postponed and didn't arrive day one (leaderboards/ranked MP) and only one game mode and minimum MP maps (but at least mods are supported, so its not as big of a problem)...and then that there was only 3 faction was litle bit disappointing but what I do like is that

Spoiler, click me

necrons and chaos and maybe imperial guards

will be the next faction ...I just wonder how/when they will arrive.

otherwise the core gameplay seems great...some issues maybe here and there but they can be fixed...but I think Relic also need some community feedback that how....and about the games "mechanical issues" the opinions are all over the place and everybody cant be right... and I really want to keep out of that topic until the game has matured little bit and there has been more "testing"..why because some are just balancing issues and we have to see if they are issues that can be fixed easily or are they really broken by design

and there are some other nitpicks like graphics settings option aren't that great either, really basic...

Have you even watched the whole 50m of that video? He generally agrees with you, it has potential, but the gameplay is more limiting, lacks content and the single player experience is a glorified tutorial instead of a proper campaign when compared to dow2 and coh2 and there lies the issue. It feels very much like a rushed release. He never said don't get it, he said wait for it to be fixed, either by the community or the developers.

I really do hope it retains whatever players come from f2p, and as a plus, everyone that previously owned it will now have the chance to spend the points on those previously only DLC characters.

Gempalm, the thing is that using g2a might get you burned and it's insurance policy is worthless and a scam. You're free to do what you want with your money but what is not right is encouraging others to do the same fully knowing the risks associated. By using g2a you're not "sticking it to the man" unlike those "media fanboys" you mention, you're just making money for some crooked business and nothing really changes.
