Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: Feistbasically some title that counts as a "huge, action-packed AAA top-of-the-charts extravaganza", to balance this loss.

Mad Max?

Yeeeah...almost but not quite. Mad Max is (in my eyes) an AA-title, not triple A. I'm not sure if that's a fair way to define it or not, but too me it just doesn't have the same kind of "Blockbuster Appeal" that the titles I mentioned have (or the Batman title for that matter).

Maybe it's nothing more than a matter of personal preference but it's not what I really want as an "Arkham Knight" replacement.

Damn...and the pile of "Can't Escape Dual Booting", just keeps growing. Because no matter how much it galls me, after playing through "Arkham Asylum" twice and playing through "Arkham City" with DLC:s and even "Akham Origins" & "Arkham Origins: Blackgate Deluxe", I'm simply not willing to miss out on this latest game. That's just how it is.

I really feel the need for some spectacular news and I need it fast: "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided", "Fallout 4", "Dishonored II", "Mafia 3", "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen", "GTA V", "Doom"....basically some title that counts as a "huge, action-packed AAA top-of-the-charts extravaganza", to balance this loss.

Really nice to hear, though if I should be brutally honest I'd be even happier to hear some positive news about Batman/Witcher3.

I actually wasn't too crazy about the Mad Max "reboot-movie" when I finally saw it (much, much, *much* preferred the old "Mad Mel" movies) So the game became "guilty by association" or something like that, I'm afraid. ;-)

Still, I'll buy it of course. No doubt about that.

Super!

It's a 23.1 GB download so it shouldn't take too long.

Bought it and it´s nice to see I can handle the recommended level. (close to dead-on)

Still, I´m a little bit annoyed that XCOM2 only shows up in the windows steam-library but not in the linux library yet. Oh well, I bought "Firewatch" as well today and that title is at least listed & ready for pre-load/download. (when available)

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.

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.
