Currently finishing my playthrough of "Expeditions: Viking", the announcement that "Expeditions: Rome" will be released this year made me remember that I hadn't finished this game yet.

Also playing the old fashioned point & click cyberpunk adventure "VirtuaVerse" and finally I just recently bought "Yakuza: Kiwami" on sale and have started playing that a little bit.

Super nice! :heart:

This year I've played through Resident Evil Remake as well as the remakes of Zero and 2. (thanks to GloriousEggroll) Leaving RE3 as the only game from the main series I haven't played yet.

However, given the poor reception that game has gotten I decided not to buy it until I could get it for 15 euro or less. So, by the time I finally buy it, Re:Village should be patched, fully working on linux as well as including some good dlc content. (fingers crossed)

"Rosen believes that Valve are "taking away gamers' freedom to choose how much extra they are willing to pay to use their platform" and that it's believed "this is part of why all competing stores have failed"."

I really don't know if this is actually a real and genuine issue or more of an imagined one.

For me, the fact that I have 95% of my games on steam and all the various steam services/steam benefits connected to all those games is pretty much a permanent "deal breaker" with any other option/alternative. Price has nothing to do with it. That feeling doesn't even factor in the great convinience of Proton as a linux gamer.

Lol, in a way it's kind of like the well known saying about real estate: "location, location, location". The same exact building or apartment can range in value from essentially worthless to almost priceless, all depending on where it's located.

It's great to see these updates coming. I only wish the sourcecode for "IWD II" hadn't been lost, since I remember loving that game as well back in the day. Frankly I would have preferred Beamdog to be developing BG3, partly because I was very pleased with their work on "Siege of Dragonspear" and partly because I would have wanted the series to stay true too it's RTwP-roots.

Quoting: AppelsinDon't forget Tyranny [External Link] :) An absolute gem, that seems to have flown completely under the radar of most. It's also from Obsidian, and I absolutely loved it. It has more of an "ancient Greece" feel than the usual "medieval europe", which really tickles my fancy.

Agreed! I loved Tyranny as well and thought it didn't get nearly the accolades it deserved. The magic system in particular was inventive & entertaining and the story itself felt really fresh. As far as my personal tastes were concerned, I enjoyed it more than either of the "Pillars" titles. (though they were certainly great as well)

I just finished playing through Deus Ex: Revision, which is the improved/massively modded version of the original "Deus Ex: GotY". That was a game that had been in my backlog for faaar too long. :grin:

Despite having played through "Deus Ex: Human Revolution", "Mankind Divided" and even "The Fall", I had never actually played all the way through the famous original in the series before. I had started to play it a couple of times during the years but it was always interrupted for some reason or other before I got very far. :cry:

I am sorely tempted to start playing this, each new update makes it seem all the more alluring. However, I also feel I may be cheating myself of getting the "full & complete experience" if I don't wait for release. :unsure:

Quoting: CFWhitmanThere is a sale at Fanatical, but today is the last day.

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunatly, when I read your comment and checked, the sale was over. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open in the coming days if my luck is less than stellar today. :happy:

Great to see this game arrive (finally)! I'd like the chanse to enter the giveaway as well.

Currently, I'm playing through "Deus Ex: Revision" (also finally):wink:, so I'm in no immediate rush to start playing and since there is apperantly no sale going on currently, I'll wait and keep my fingers crossed.

Quoting: F.UltraTried Contradicion? Not native (but works great in proton) and worked extremely well for a FMV.

No I haven't. Though reading about the gameplay reminds me a little of "L.A. Noire", the game does sound interesting. Putting it on my wishlist. Thanks!

I think I'll give this one a try as well!

FMVs have a bad reputation but I have enjoyed or even loved most of those I've played: Phantasmagoria, Realms of the Haunting, Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within, Under a Killing Moon, Pandora Directive, Overseer and Tesla Effect.

So this is one special sub-genré that I'm very fond of.
