Very nice! I had this game on my "to-buy-list", before i switched to linux. This was a game that I had very little hope it would ever show up as a linux-title.

Seems pretty interesting.

However, I'm starting to feel a bit swamped with "turn-based strategy titles". Pillars of Eternity, with it's RTwP (Real-Time with Pause) combat felt like a most welcome relief from everything turn-based.

Ironic, since i feel that it was not long ago at all, that I was desperate for a glorious return of games like "X-COM" or "Wasteland 2" and would have happily purchased anything along those lines.

Anyway, this looks polished enough to add to my "wishlist".

Quoting: FeistI would buy/would have bought this game in a second if it was a Singleplayer game. However, if I have interpreted things correctly it's mostly a Multiplayer game, with a "token" singleplayer-mode that (currently) does not offer much of a story/campaign/adventure.

Or has the situation changed since the last time I tried to get a feel for this game?

You might be able to say that's the case right now. But I thought their goal actually the opposite, that they wanted it to be primarily a single player game with multiplayer on the side.

I might be mixing this game up with another one, but I could have sworn a developer of this game commented that they only have a larger multiplayer component right now because it's just easier to do once you have all the game mechanics working. But creating a single player campaign still requires a lot of work beyond that

Yeah, that was my understanding, as well. Just to be safe, I did some quick searching - seems like they have a pretty clear plan laid out here [External Link]. The devs posted a bit later, stating that they're releasing story stuff in chunks, and that the story will probably be "finished" (i.e. all story chunks released) in 2016-17.

Great! I really don't have any interest in any variant of multiplayer, but a singleplayer game where you play as a part of a spec-ops task force in a space/sci-fi setting and get to battle various threats in different missions, that would be great.

Sort of like MassEffect, only with FPS instead of TPS and probably less movie-like gameplay. (and hopefully no standard skynet/replicant/cylons/shodan/borg or other synthetic a.i.-menace)

Quoting: Keizgon@Aspyr_Blair

I know this is a bit off topic, but I'm curious about something. Have you guys (or anybody else in this business) ever had success requesting to port Japanese made games? Or is there a cultural/language barrier behind such companies to make this near impossible in the future?

I am actually a bit curious about this as well...

I've posted in a number of "Linux-port?"-threads for japanese games (Valkyria Chronicles, Deadly Premonition, Resident Evil, Trails in the Sky, etc. etc.) but I can't recall if I have ever seen some kind of response/reply.

Quoting: metcardSleeping dogs... but i've said too much.

That would be great! Even though I've spent lots of time with that game and played through every bit of it, I wouldn't mind spending a dozen more hours in Hong Kong. Also, I never bought the "Definitive Edition", so I could buy that if it came to Linux.

Quoting: zimplex1Dream Choice: GTA V
Next Best Choice: Skyrim
Runner-Up Choice: Deus Ex (HE and/or MD)
Even if it's none of these it's probably going to be good, and I'll probably buy it.

Sounds fine to me, although I just saw that I have spent 283 hours with Skyrim & DLC, so I think I'd prefer Fallout3 / New Vegas, as "Next Best" choice. As for the "Runner-Up", I'd also be happy to have the original Deus Ex with the Revision-mod in Linux-native.

The end utterly ruined the experience for me.

I actually didn't have much issue with the ending, sure it was a bit anticlimactic and the qte-sequence with button pushing felt pretty cheap, but on the whole I was happy that it left plenty of room for sequels/expansions/story-dlc.

In most cases, my idea of *Bad Ending*, is either something that makes absolutely no sense as far as the game-story is concerned or something involving a Hulk/Terminator-hybrid that you need to reload 8-15 times before you finally get to see the end-movie/game-credits. In other words, when I've played through a game I want the game to be *over*, I don't want a metaphorical brick-wall in the form of a super-boss, that I need to bash my head against over and over before I can exit he game.

Bloody annoying...

I started up my windows partition for the first time in several weeks (only to keep the system updated) when this survey popped up. I couldn't remember if your OS was a multiple choice question or if it was automatically detected...so I closed the survey box without replying. -1 linux user.

I loved the graphical style and the atmosphere of this game, the story was also fairly imaginative. However, I also felt it was too linear and the turn-based combat system was not among the better examples of its kind.

Still, nice to have another fairly high-profile/well-known title on linux.
