It´s great that we can finally see some movement on the Linux-front with this title.

Ever since the kickstarter for "Darkest Dungeon", I´ve been really eager to try this game and I hoped that it would become available in "early access" but that was a no go. If I dare to hope that it shows up during late february, then this would be a great month (with both XCOM2 and Dying Light:The Following soon to come). Still that might be a bit too optimistic but with the above mentioned titles (and the Agatha Christie adventure), March would be fine as a release month as well.

There has been a bit of negativity during the "ea" period for the game, I think the gist of it, is that the development has made the game more challenging/frustrating for players with a bit too much "grinding". Obviously, I don´t know how I´ll feel about that yet but everything I´ve seen from it makes me fairly certain that this game will be a lot of fun to play until the frustration (hypothetically) kicks in.

Sooo...still pretty hyped! :)

Huh, weird that they are porting this "old" 2013 game instead of the just released game. Unless, of course, they intend to port both games. I certainly hope that this is the beginning of lots of Square Enix ports for Linux.

Quoting: ShmerlOn a side note, if you are interested in classic RPGs, take a look at this project:

Thanks for the tip!

Assuming they can deliver on all they promise, then this sounds like exactly my kind of favorite game-type.

Sweet!!

I was actually a bit worried for a while there. I really wish more developers would start using steam to communicate their plans for various OS releases, instead of simply ignoring or simply missing page after page of questions/requests.

Eh, no problem. I have actually done my best to avoid news, previews and anything else about "Torment" that could be "spoilerish" . With "Pillars" I had tons of pre-launch knowledge about the game but this time I really want to experience the release with as little prior insight into the game as possible.

Nice, but not really my thing anymore.

I had a period sometime around Y2K that lasted for about a year. During that time I was gripped by "emulation-mania" (lol) and I went from MAME with all it ´s old arcade titles to "UAE" with all the old Amiga titles and other emulators as well, SNES, Gameboy, Sega etc. etc. etc.

However, I eventually came to grips with the fact that I had very little interest in actually *playing* any of these oldies. I had more than enough contemporary games to keep me occupied. Nope, it was just the challenge of amassing a library of old and often obscure games that was the entertainment. Like a coin or stamp collection really.

So...end of story. I think I may still have a box of old cd:s filled with emulators and old games up in the attic somewhere. :huh:

Very nice!

I´ve long hoped that "Frogware" would have their Sherlock Holmes game-series ported to Linux. However, Poirot is close enough to satisfy my need for adventure-sleuthing. Just keep `em coming!

Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, GTA V, Just Cause 3, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Mafia III, Doom, Dragon´s Dogma: Dark Arisen...anything from those titles are the only ones that would make me deliriously happy right now.

Still, I´m pretty certain that there´s nil chanse of that happening. So, I would be ok with anything that´s not: sports/racing/rts or minor indie title.

Hope it´s true.

There´s been a "Linux request thread" going since september on the games steam-forum. No response from any developer yet though.

I used to love MoO almost as much as I loved MoM, back in the days.

Very nice! This will be a Day 1 purchase for me.

I also agree with the above comments, the first game was not that great and it could certainly have been a few hours longer but all the same it was not a bad shooter. The game-mechanics worked well, can't recall any bugs, the story was reasonably entertaining and the environments were atmospheric.
