Quoting: liamdaweLimbo didn't have combat, did it?

No, but if you would buy a brand new game just for combat..

Arguing like that there shouldn't be that many shooters/(mmo)rpgs out there, because they often differ not much more than Limbo and Orphan.

Quoting: EKRboi

Quoting: SeredPlayed it on Windows with my 3 year old AMD 6950 HD on 1920x1200 (16:10 ftw!) and it worked like a charm!

with the settings cranked to the max? I'm sure a lot of setups can run it turned down some.

Can't verify but as far as I remember, pretty much, yes.

But I must admit, I don't care if I have 8 times anti-aliasing or 16 times and stuff like that. If it runs good and looks okay, I'm completely content.

I don't really care for graphics, that's the least important part of a game to me. Still not unimportant, but not really #1 on my personal priority list. (Also I don't have access to PhysX and stuff.)

I also strictly use the open source drivers on linux and performance-wise Borderlands 2 runs nearly as good as on Windows, so I hope that this would be the case for BioShock 3 as well. (Feral did a really great job with porting X-Com!)

Quoting: EKRboiAssuming it is Bioshock: Infinite. Has anyone played it on Mac? How is the performance? It really likes some GPU horse power.. going to be really rough on Linux to push the settings without a beast of a single card or proper multi gpu support which we just don't have.

When I played it in win @ 1920x1080 it beat up my 2 gtx 580's.

Played it on Windows with my 3 year old AMD 6950 HD on 1920x1200 (16:10 ftw!) and it worked like a charm!

Black and White 2? Hm, would pass on that one. Played the hell out of it years ago and to be honest, although I really enjoyed it back then, I wouldn't bother playing it again.

The major drawback of the game is, that it is completely unfinished. You have a campaign with a really stupid AI and that's it. No Multiplayer (although it was promised), no "endless mode" of any kind, just a campaign you can play over and over again.

I admit it is funny, until a few hours in. No, this would be a game I'd pass.

Quoting: Erikchthey liamdawe ... not only bioshock

take a look on those AAA games too, they "might" porting on Linux too (ONE BIG NEWS... SEGA WORKING HARD TO PORT YOUR GAMES FOR LINUX)

Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 (KONAMI)
https://steamdb.info/app/287680/depots/ [External Link]

Empire: Total War (SEGA)
https://steamdb.info/app/10500/depots/ [External Link]

Company of Heroes 2 (SEGA)
https://steamdb.info/app/231430/ [External Link]

I got really excited about Pro Evo 2015 by myself, but I think it is just a simple mistake as the only Linux related depot contains some OpenVR files and KONAMI never cared about any other platform than consoles and PCs.

Linux is PC. Stop using PC as a synonym for windows!

Great news indeed. I could finally finish it then, yay!

Quoting: sonicGuys, I had Steam survey on Linux yesterday...for first time :p

I don't have a windows partition anymore, but when I had, whenever I fired it up and played a Steam-Game there I got that stupid survey.

I played 90% of my time under Linux even back then. At least the survey pops up here now and then, but never as often as it did on Windows. Not sure why, not saying it's a big conspiracy (although it probably is)!

Quoting: HamishWhile I do intend to buy it as I really should play a Bioware title at some point considering they are supposed to be the local golden boy developer from where I am from, paying $20 for a game is a bit too steep for my blood at the moment.

10 bucks at steam, if you can live with the drm ;)

Quoting: subI'd buy Planetary Annihilation for 66% off,
but since it does not come with a single campaign,
it's of no value for me, unfortunately.

Yes, I play multiplayer games rarely (almost never).

PA has Galactic Conquest which is something along the lines of a singleplayer campaign (without much of a story tho ;))

Quoting: EikeWith 975 games, I guess you're not out of stuff to play? ;o)

Truth. :)

Still, there are of course games I'd additionally like to have. Nothing absolutely vital though. Eh, there's always another time.:)

Like which games? Maybe it's one of those I've keys lying around here ;)
