^ That's a feature for a reason.
Sorry, my bad. It is a magic how "Internet-aware" people get accustomed to filtering certain things on certain places (like not paying attention to page sides, headers or in this case, "something between posts", because that's where advertisement usually is). This button simply blurred in my vision. :-( Will use it from now on.
Quoting: liamdaweAlso, there is British English and American English, so languages is correct.
Different dialects, maybe. But not languages. Besides, there are a lot more of those: "Australian English", "New Zealand English", "Scientific English", "Legal English", "Patent English" and, most important, "Internet English" which we all are using. :D

Quoting: razing32Mate , you should make a disclosure they only ship to a few countries :
UK , Ireland , France , Spain , Italy and Germany.

Seems fairly limited considering how many countries there are in Europe.
I actually looked at their delivery info page [External Link], where that's not mentioned. I see now it's mentioned in their slider, bit of a nuisance.

Quoting: Alm888"non-English languages"…
Like there are "English languages" (i.e. English somehow became a category)…
Sorry to be a "Grammar Nazi", but I think "languages, other than English" would be more appropriate.

^ That's a feature for a reason.

Also, there is British English and American English, so languages is correct. Especially when I don't agree they are the same ;)

Quoting: GuppyI assume it's paid promotion ( no problem with that, except please state it ) but shouldn't the links have referer?
We do not take payment for articles, ever.

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port, bring on the speculation

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoComing from Feral, it must be another top down RTS game...
I really don't get comments like these. Just because some people don't like RTS game, they seem to grab onto the fact that Feral have ported some, while ignoring the rest.

Like I said in my other comment:
Quoting: meMad Max
Deus Ex
Shadow of Mordor
Life is Strange
Dirt Rally
Alien Isolation
HITMAN
F1 2015
Tomb Raider
Grid Autosport

Quoting: HollowSoldierIt will be some RTS game. It's always some RTS game.
Feral have many titles, let's see that aren't an RTS:
Mad Max
Deus Ex
Shadow of Mordor
Life is Strange
Dirt Rally
Alien Isolation
HITMAN
F1 2015
Tomb Raider
Grid Autosport

Yes they do strategy titles too, but they do plenty more too.

Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

Quoting: razing32After months on this site I just realized you have to confirm your PC info for every round even if nothing changed.

Excuse me while I go faceplam with a brick.....
If nothing has changed, you don't actually need to click to update. You will once there's an actual cut-off for data though, since we will cut-off anyone after x months of not checking they're updated.

Quoting: 14I don't like side scrollers much, but the animation looks really good in that trailer. I'm actually a bit interested now.
It's not a side scroller. 2D yes, but you can fly in all directions to explore.
It's still viewed from a side camera so it's still a side scroller.
I get what you're saying, totally do, but side scroller is a term not usually used for games like this where you have complete freedom of direction, but in 2D. A side scrolling is generally restricted to moving one way across the screen to progress.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side-scrolling_video_game [External Link]
Not sure why you quoted me to link to that, but it basically says exactly what I did.
R-Type does this, the only difference is that you just can't go back because it's an auto scroller. Side scrolling is just a presentation technique, like isometric, not a genre.
I don't think I did ever say it was a genre? The whole debate was about if this is a side scroller, i claim it isn't and the link provided also shows it's not.
