Tyranny, the massive new RPG from Obsidian Entertainment releases today day-1 on Linux, our review

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: FeistI find myself constantly choosing the opposite of what I normally would and being rewarded by both more companion loyalty, more respect of factions and items of value.
Can you RP dissent there (or hidden dissent)?
Well in many conversations there is the option to "not intimidate" or "not provoke" or "not insult" or even to act "mildly noble" or something similar. Normally, those would be the options I would pick, using a kind of "My Name Is Earl Mentality" (Karma=Do Good Things-->Good Things Happens To You) that tend to apply in most rpg:s.

However, in Tyranny I need to work against that instinct, since it seems that it is more beneficial to "Be Bad", or at least that is my impression this far (only 3 hrs of gameplay after all).

After 3 hours played, I find this experience rather fascinating. I have *always* (Baldurs Gate, IcewindD, KotOR1&2, Neverwinter1&2, Dragon Age, Masseffect etc. etc.) played as a good character before and "Breaking Bad" feels very strange to me. I find myself constantly choosing the opposite of what I normally would and being rewarded by both more companion loyalty, more respect of factions and items of value.

Lol, I wonder if it will be strange to good back to playing a good/normal character after this. :P

Black Mesa, the fan-made remake of Half-Life is rather unstable on Linux right now

No problems for me either, 7 hours played without a single crash or bug.

Football Manager 2017 released with day-1 Linux & SteamOS support, demo available

Nice to have it for Linux!

Although, I must admit that I felt a little shocked to see this at the top of steam "sellers-list", while Deus Ex is not even on the first page.

I guess I just can't get over the fact that a game like a "football manager", is *NOT* a small special interest gaming niché, only drawing the attention of a handful of harder-than-hardcore football fans. Lol.

Wow, this looked sooo much better than I remember from playing the free version back in 2012, could not resist had-to-buy.

Great! I played through the free version on windows when it was first released several years ago. However, I didn´t want to spend money on the pay-version until the game was completeable.

Guess I´ll have to wait a bit longer for them to finaly finish the "Xen" level...:(

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided arrives on SteamOS & Linux on the 3rd of November

Crazy, I was seriously not expecting this game until sometime waaaay into 2017 (maybe between apr-aug). I guess I´ll have to spend more money than I anticipated this fall, because a game like this I will happily pay the "Day01" full price (whatever it may be) rather than wait for a sale.

Mad Max, Stellaris expansion, Deus Ex:MD, Tyranny...what an autumn, suddenly I feel like I´m back doing Windows gaming again (minus the crappy OS). <3

Speculation: A recent Mesa commit hints at a possible Batman: Arkham Origins Linux port (update: no it isn't)

Quoting: Mountain ManOrigins was easily the worst of the Arkham games, but I still would have loved to see it on Linux.
I actually enjoyed "Origins" more than I did the latest "Knight".

Arkhams Origins, was imo. a fairly mediocre Arkham game, it followed in the footsteps of "Asylum & City" and did a rather decent job of it. Arkham Knight, on the other hand, had the Batmobile that failed to provide much positive to the series, story developments/ending that I felt was weird and ill fitting and finaly enough bugs & performance issues to fill 3 other games.

I don't know, maybe my feelings were in part becuse I had low expectations for the first non-Rocksteady Batman game, so it was pretty easy to surpass them. On the other hand, I had great expectations for Rocksteadys triumphant return to the franchise...and those failed in a rather spectacular fashion.

Mad Max released for Linux, port report and review available

Bought it. 24,8 GB a fairly large download, it will take me 3-4 hours since my dl speed isn´t that great.

Great to get something new to play, especially aaa-goodness. This suits me fine right now, since both games that I´m currently playing (Sunless Sea & Halcyon 6) have some bugs that needs to be ironed out before I continue.

Shadow Warrior 2 should still be coming to Linux after all, was a miscommunication

Well, honestly I expected it to be something of that nature, although it´s nice to have it confirmed. Now all we need to wait for is actual confirmation that there *IS* a version for linux that people are actively working on, and all will feel much better. ;-)

Currently "Shadow warrior 2" is reviewed as "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam, with 1,124 positive reviews and 40 negative, so it sounds pretty much like a "Must Have"-title.
