So far picked Bastion and Freedom Planet, mainly to replace the Humble Bundle ones as I like to have everything in one place.

I tried to get into KDE once with Mint 18, ended up wiping everything and went back to Mate. KDE itself is nice, very customizable and usable but Mate feels lighter and faster.

Quoting: MaCroX95

Quoting: JudasIscariotGood to see more work being done in getting better controller support in Wine. That's the one thing that I can never get to work properly or at all...

Where did you see anything about controller support? I'm dying to get my lego Titles working properly with the controller through wine :(

I believe Judas is referring to this: A few more steps towards HID support.

One day I ought to try a controller for some arcade games, love the K+M way too much :)

Quoting: KeyrockThis seems like one of the 8 billion survival games out there. Is that correct, or am I getting the wrong impression?

I have the same impression myself. I forgot which game started this genre ( was it Don't Starve? ) and only but a few truly stand out.

System requirements should be taken with a grain of salt, in some cases they are inaccurate. Let's take Witcher 3 for example which is a high end game where it asks for an i5 as Minimum processor and a GTX660 card and yet my friend can run it on an i3-2100 and a 650TI GPU at 1080p with over 35-40fps (or more in some cases).

Another thing someone may have not noticed is how come the recommended specs ask for 16GB Ram for Linux, meanwhile the recommended for Windows is 8GB. If the Linux version really requires twice as much as Windows then they must have some serious lack of optimization and a really bad memory leak.

Secondly, GHZ don't mean much these days. Most AMD cpu's with on par clock speed perform poorly compared to Intel. It's more of a performance-per-core thing.

Ultimately, if you have a medium range system from the last 4-5 years you should get a good experience with this game.

Stardew Valley - I swear this game is like a drug, it's by far one of the most addicting single player games I ever played. At first I thought the time goes too fast in-game but as you unlock some features, most of the farm is on autopilot which leaves you time for other things.

11819 The Longest Journey Demo: characters mostly invisible (broken TransformVertices with D3DVIEWPORT2)

Could this BE IT? The moment Wine lets you play TLJ from start to end without visiting the seven gates of hell?


Must search for my old TLJ CD's.

It has been released on GOG so it definitely catches my interest. Is it using Unity? The performance is quite impressive.

EDIT: Ended up answering my own question, It's using Unity and hell, I have to say the engine has truly made leaps on Linux. :-)

If these games were to be released DRM-Free on GOG there's gonna be hell to play. I never played nor own any of these games but I'd quickly change that such a release should come.

Their message is rather unclear, they never sent the Linux version to GOG to begin with and should they provide one I will refuse to buy it unless they also offer the preorder pack for GOG Linux buyers.

I'll be honest, so far Team17 have treated GOG users like shit. Even when they released Superfrog HD there was no Linux release either....and then some devs wonder why GOG sales are low, it's the devs own fault for being lazy.

Excuse me for ranting, had to take off what I had on my chest for Team17.
