Linux?
Grow Linux so that it's too big a market for anyone to decide to just ignore. That's it; that's the only solution.
If only that happened over 20 years ago because at this point, Linux will never reach a large market at the rate it's going.

Quoting: EduAAAThey very generous, free game, but when you check let's see hmm, it's not the full game, it's a way to make people buy must have dlcs unless you wanna play a demo.
Not sure what you're getting at with this statement since the version of Dragon Age Inquisition that Epic is giving away is the Game of the Year edition, which includes the DLC and other bonuses.

Well, we can't say this is surprising since they already done this with other titles and before you know it, a majority of their newer games will have this going forward. It's too bad though because they're just leaving money on the table for those that want to play on it Linux/Steam Deck.

I guess Geforce Now is the way to go to play some of these EA games I bought that have this crappy anticheat implemented.

I took up the Dragon Age Inquisition offer from Epic since I had that game on PS4 a long time ago but never finished it but now, I can start playing it again on the Steam Deck :smile:

I had 100% Orange Juice when I first started building my Steam game collection using the Fanatical bundles and Endless Dungeon was a later grab when it offered it up for free some time ago but never started neither one of the games though.

Other than the annoying RGB lights on the analog sticks, the device and OS looks promising but still needs more time to optimize the boot up screen and when launching the games because it seems slow.

Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features

Quoting: slaapliedjeI beat this on the PS4, but had no idea actually that they added a Multiplayer, doesn't seem like it'd be a game that'd work well as multiplayer anyhow.
They added it a several months later after the release of the game, which surprised everyone at the time and a lot of people liked it. The multiplayer mode is co-op with up to three additional players.

Quoting: rustigsmedonly single player suits me. a shame it isn't on GoG like the other recent Sony releases drm free.
It's probably going to be some time before it shows up on GOG. God of War was the latest release that appeared on GOG this year and Nixxes would need to add the required SDKs to make the multiplayer work.

Quoting: legluondunetIf this work could help N64 emulator developers progress. Because today, N64 emulation is less accomplished than other console emulators.
Unless I'm wrong, I don't think this will help N64 emulator developers since this one is recompiled to worked natively without using emulators. I'm pretty sure emulators have been adding changes like the ones highlighted in the video to N64 games for some time now.

Quoting: kuhpunktExcuse the language, but Valfaris: Mecha Therion is metal as fuck.

Highly recommend the first game as well.
I had the first one very early on when I started building my Steam game collection and haven't had a chance to play it since I started going overboard with my backlog. However, I did decide to pick up the sequel to the first one, along with a few more games that I didn't have in my backlog. Should be fun times when I get to it :smile:

Well, Nintendo aren't going to be happy about this one are they.
When has Nintendo ever been happy about any of this stuff? This is no different than any other fan project and funny thing is that this developer does a better job at making older N64 titles look great with these enhancements than Nintendo. They would rather lazily put out N64 games as is and continue to rake in the money from those poor souls that pay to play these games with their crappy subscriptions.

Anyways, the project does look cool and it would be interesting how far it'll stay up before it vanishes due to the obvious reasons :grin:

Quoting: FutureSutureReleasing their games on GOG would be a pleasant surprise.
They do release some games on GOG but not all, unfortunately.
None of their Japanese games as far as I am aware, however.
Well, they have Front Mission 1 and 2 but yes, no JRPGs or anything else from them.
