I'm just missing Xcom2 & Deus Ex from the list, they're on my queue of things to buy when enough funds are available. I somehow missed Soulless, fixed that Thanks to Comandante. :D

I'll be buying it, the trailer tickled my funny bone & who wouldn't want to be a bad cop like in the tv series The Shield?

This isn't the first time a game that's getting a Linux port has shown up early only to vanish again for a while.

I've played a few minutes, but that miserable clown makes me want to punch the writers (of the game).

Star Citizen to use Vulkan instead of DirectX 12 and drop DirectX 11 eventually

Quoting: lucifertdarkThe bits I've seen look amazing & could probably be made into separate games in their own right, but I couldn't justify spending that much on a single game however good it is.
25 years ago, Monkey Island costed about 100 Deutsche Mark, translating to 50 Euros, inflation corrected to today about 75 Euros. Computer games got very, very much more complicated - and surprisingly cheap. (Of course, none of this is increasing your budget.)
25 years ago they need to release in a cd-rom or disquettes on shops. Make copies, distribution, shopper, etc. Nowdays you can upload it, and with just one click you download. It's the reason the game is much more cheaper.
Monkey Island cost me £10 brand new in a box with a proper printed manual.

VR is superfluous fluff until such time as the bugs that stop most of us from even playing the standard games are fixed.

Quoting: EikeIt's a really strange hype.

But beyond hype and hate, they are planning very ambitious stuff - and they actually started delivering.
I'm very curious where they will get.

Someone I know out in the real world has spent £600+ on it, I almost feel sorry for them.

Kerbal Space Program expansion 'Making History' announced with some fun new tools

Quoting: GuestThat game is one of my worst game purchases ever. Who makes a multi platform game and makes it to use Windows only fonts. Got to love it when you start up the game and there is not text anywhere.
Not many people come across that problem because most have the fonts installed during the initial setup of their distro, or very soon after.
