Quoting: Xpander

Quoting: pbI have yet to see an AAA game that runs perfectly upon release. ;-)

Metro Redux, Metro LL, Borderlands 2/TPS, The WItcher 2 (performance was fine for me), Dead Island just to name few.

while im not hoping to run Dying Light on maximum because my GPU is old midrange 660Ti ... but i would expect it to run at playable framerate on medium/low settings

Borderlands 2 still has abysmal performance on my rig.
Phenom II + Radeon HD 7950.
Runs perfectly smooth on Win7, though (same machine).

Oh, not available in my region.

I guess this prevents me from suffering 5-8 FPS on my rusty, heavily outdated Radeon HD 7950.

I'll probably buy the game if it works flawless on AMD GPUs.

Quoting: STiATI don't consider eON bad (...) doing a d3d/ogl native wrapper (that's what it is)

A what?

What is a native wrapper?

Something like Valve does with D3D9-->OpenGL on code level?
That would be ok, but that eON crap still has the windows DLLs around AFAIK,
so I don't think it works that way.

And maybe this is an excuse for somebody in the x86 maintainer team to
try a few games on steam. They *are* likely good tests of odd
behavior..

:D

Quoting: DrMcCoyAlso, this means there's now an easy DRM-free source for Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords [External Link], in case people want to get it to help with xoreos [External Link]. *hinthint* :P

I'd love to, but I'm afraid I'm not skilled enough.
Knowing quite a bit of C++, I'm completely lost when it comes to the required low-level reverse engineering.

Quoting: HamishThe main thing that turns me off about Dark Forces is its lack of a proper in-level saving system.

Dark Forces II was one of the games I grew up with, but it sadly does not even work in WINE.

Hmm, according to WINE's AppDB Dark Forces II should work ok.

Quoting: thelimeydragonI create a special file called "-i" in directories I want to keep safe.

I do this by doing:

touch ./-i

forces rm to be interactive.

Unless you go with 'rm --', IIRC.

Ok, let's assume it is Tolkien related.

How about "Shadow of Mordor"?

Released in September 2014 and published by Warner Brothers.
They must already have business relations to WB as at least the
LEGO games which Feral ported to Mac are also published by WB.

Quoting: omer666[Edit] By the way, don't you think the "Always offer a choice" doesn't feel right... to me, it looks like it's been added afterwards.

It looks strange, but it's included in this picture as well: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oxford_-_Eagle_and_Child_Pub_-_0168.jpg (sorry, I couldn't put http:// before that link or the post would get corrupt).

Wait, "Eagle and Child Pub"...

Elizabeth the young protagonist has a large robot-like bird as her friend and warden in Bioshock Infinite.

Tolkien was related to Eagle and Child: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eagle_and_Child [External Link]

So it is a lord of the ring saga game, I guess for http://support.feralinteractive.com/en/mac-games/legohobbit/ [External Link]

After reading the links, that would make sense, indeed.
