Maybe someone can make something out of this?

Doing a search about 8 pointed stars, I stumbled upon Octogram (obviously) and some interresting informations about a Latvian god named Auseklis...

Quoting: m0nt3

Quoting: MblackwellWhy wouldn't it be Total War: Three Kingdoms?

Because it is not scheduled for release until sometime in Spring 2019 according to steam.

But with Proton, I would advertise my games as early as possible, if I were Feral... We are talking 8-10 months from now... It's not that far.

Edit: This said... Working with Fire and Steel from China Crisis is considered New wave / Post Punk music... Just saying... :)

Quoting: KelsMy first impression from the video is that this is basically Torchlight II with more "realistic" graphics.

Sweet! If that's true, that could be my kind of game. Is it controller friendly? Let's say like Victor Vran? I prefer WASD or controller stick movements to point & click with mouse.

Quoting: tonRTotally Linux newbie questions... Should I try it?

Very tempting to play The Sims 3....

Well, currently downloading The Sims 3. I will test it on Saturday evening or Sunday, depends on my laziness...

You could have checked the compatibility spreadsheet [External Link] to avoid wasting your time and bandwidth. (Three reports that it does not work.)

Aaaah! EA games... #Facepalm ;)

Quoting: riusma"Working with fire and steel" is a song from China Crisis... there is always a song in the clue! :whistle:

China you say? Guess it's Total War: THREE KINGDOMS then.

Would be nice to see the series continued on Linux, however I personally would prefer something different.

Not going to blame Feral about the situation, I highly respect all the work they have done from day one, but it feels like it's hard to get ports outside of these 2 or 3 franchises for which they have developped all the tools for a smooth porting process. I guess the AAA studios they used to make deals with are harder to convince compared to what it was back in 2014-2015... We all know why.

Edit: Weird formulation.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWith people now being able to buy and play (many) Windows games on Steam so easily, these teasers are not going to do Feral any favours.

Feral - just say what the port is so people know whether to wait.

Many of us make a point of buying in such a way that the porter is guaranteed to get something out of it. If we buy a non-native game now, sure it gets flagged as a Linux sale to the publisher, but when a native port comes out later, Feral get nothing out of it.

Maybe that's why they say "We'll fix that rusty old thing on Tuesday." The guessing game in itself is funny but might be damaging if it lasts too long...

Song from China Crisis... What bigger crisis has China endured than when it was partitioned into Three Kingdoms!!!

Please, let Total War Three Kingdoms be on the works.

Long live his excellency, the Prime Minister Cao Cao!!

Oh well... Another Total War makes perfect sense... With all the other Total War games Feral already did... Unfortunately, this would be a good example why we need Proton though.

Mmmm... Someone dusted off Carmack's 2013 declaration... I found that interresting, given the actual context:

Reading Lin_Soldar's comment made me realize that I might be able to play games that I got in my humble monthly bundles... Games that I never claimed because they are Windows only... I guess I will have to update my humble inventory. :)

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIt will be very awesome if EA follow this example..
If they don't want to port their games to Linux, at least make a Linux Origin client with an embedded compatibility layer like this.

Isn't EA's games plagued with DRMs?
