$59.99 is what it is, and what it will be on day one. Though if you preorder, you can take advantage of all the coupons floating around right now.

Quoting: scaineVery odd. Thanks for pointing that out though. The article's been updated to remove the DRM reference.

No prob. :D

Though the same thing happened to me when I googled it up. The first link isn't to the game, but the wishlist. The only reason why I kept looking past that was because I vaguely recalled seeing it on GOG's front page back when it first came out.

It up on GOG, so the DRM-free promise looks to already be covered.

Dark Souls 3!

...which it probably isn't, but I can hope, damnit!

Divinity: Original Sin, Borderlands 2, and Shadows of Mordor! Come next month, I'll be firing through XCOM 2! :D

If Dark Souls 3 came to Linux, I'd barely have a reason to keep my Windows partition around.

Quoting: BeamboomI haven't tried this myself, but if you make one of them with a personality "AI" I bet they will reply in the conversations according to the profile you set.

They do. If you set the AI on both characters, the one you're not playing with respond automatically when conversations between them pop up.

Bought Shadows of Mordor. This is the first game I've bought from Feral on Steam, and the first game I've bought since reinstalling Linux on my new machine.

Too bad I have to wait, like, 20 hours to play it. Damn sales people getting all selfish, and eating up all the bandwidth. :mad:

I first played Shadowgate on the NES, too. It's one one of those games that's absolutely drenched in nostalgia for me. Just about every time I'd spend the night over at an old friend's house back in middle school, we'd rent it alongside a few movies, and play it all night long.

Took us months to beat it, but we did it, damnit! No walkthroughs or hints for us!

Quoting: DiogoSDIf this do not matter for you, I don't care, but it matters to me, and I say the same: it is an option to use Windows instead of Linux whenever I please, my choice is derivative by the free will that I have. That's why I think: if I need to use closed software them I will use it on the best scenario possible where I'll be must pleased.

I don't feel right using and advocating for an open platform and them contradict myself by not supporting it. I only recommend Linux to Intel users because they are the best on Open Drivers, but if anyone wants to try it with AMD or NVidia closed solutions, doesn't matter to me, it matters to them. But, I'm really looking forward for the new open driver strategy AMD is doing right now, hopefully NVidia follow its steps soon enough, and them maybe I switch to LInux full time.

I guess the happy medium would be to say that proprietary stuff on Linux is okay, so long as it doesn't limit people who want to use open source stuff exclusively. I guess one part of that philosophy of freedom is the ability to opt out of something entirely if you don't like it, and continue using your OS as you have been previously.

And PhysX is just bad for all industry. Seriously, why the hell would anyone ask developers to close their eyes to the rest of the market when there are alternatives to it? Don't you want choices on your future? This doesn't makes any sense to me and I don't feel like discussing about this right now it is a bit late now.

Peace.

I'm honestly surprised that PhysX and CUDA are still around. Not because they suck, they're both actually pretty good, but because single vendor stuff tends to fall by the wayside more often than not.

I guess they're still around because no one's bothered to make a just as good, if not better alternative for them yet. CUDA does have some competition from OpenCL, but I don't know how widely used it is in comparison yet. And PhysX? There's nothing else like PhysX out there. It's either it, or nothing.

It'd be nice if there were. Cuz I don't want to feel like I'm being hobbled some way if I decide to grab an AMD card in the future.

Quoting: DiogoSDExactly, if is to use closed software, it is better you use Windows.

I know a lot of people advocate nothing but FOSS on Linux, but if you ever want the platform to become truly successful, and be able to challenge the likes of MS and Apple, the old saw of "you can't have your cake, and eat it too" comes to mind.

I'll admit that I'm not that much of a stickler when it comes to open source software. I think of it as a choice, and freedom as far as software goes has more to do with me being able to choose what I like best, vs. the freedom of having everything on the platform open source, so I can do what I want to with it.

The OS itself is open source. Everything from the graphical shell to the kernel can be tweaked, swapped, forked, and changed to my own specifications. Everything beyond that is either/or. Do I choose the proprietary drivers for my graphics card, or go open source? It's my choice. I have the freedom to choose. The availability of the proprietary drivers on Linux isn't diluting what Linux is about (in my opinion), nor is it limiting me in any way. Quite the opposite, in fact. I now have two choices, and I can pick whichever one best suits me.

So no, if you're using closed source software, it isn't necessarily better to use Windows, because it isn't an all or nothing situation. So long as the base is open sourced, everything on top of that is just more choice.

...but if you demand everything be open source for the sake of your definition of software freedom, you'll only be losing that choice, and ultimately limiting yourself.
