I've been playing this game for years with my kids. Good fun!

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain works very well.

Quoting: YoRHa-2B

Quoting: melkemindI have NieR Automata, but this game was broken on Windows [..] and not really playable without the third-party FAR mod

The fullscreen bug doesn't even happen on wine, and the game has been fully playable on wine for over a year now (and for over half a year with dxvk).

I'm sure we just have different ideas of what "playable" means. I used the FAR mod to improve performance and unlock the framerate, not just fix ultrawide screen problems. I just tried it with Proton, and it was locking to 30 fps. There's probably a way to get it to work. I just don't know what it is.

I have NieR Automata, but this game was broken on Windows (and never fixed by the devs) and not really playable without the third-party FAR mod, which doesn't seem to work on Linux (requires a dinput8.dll injection).

I actually have Battletech (didn't buy it in Steam), and it's now in my Steam library. I clicked in Install, and it downloaded at a 15MB file. Does that mean it's close to a Linux release?

This game looks good, but what does "rogue-lite" mean? I tend not to like "rogue-like" games, but I'm assuming this isn't full rogue-like in every way. Is this one of those games where you have to die over and over?

My daughter played the developer's previous game, Contrast, and liked it. This game seems to have a similar style to that. Initial Steam reviews are "mostly positive" with some people saying it has a number of bugs and performance issues.

Quoting: Patola

Quoting: melkemindIt would be nice if these companies that want to see "demand" would actually do market research rather than just waiting to see how many people post on an isolated forum thread that many users may never even see.

It incurs additional cost. So the best way to start considering even if the market research for a port would be appropriate is a scenario with no cost that could supposedly could give a good enough approximation of the results.

I'm not saying their research has to be anything super sophisticated. I've worked in government and had no real money but could throw together a decent survey and actually put a little time into finding where actual users are. Also, they could at least set actual goals. Often times it seems like they just whimsically say they want to wait for "demand" without actually specifying the threshold for when enough demand has been met. Setting an actual goal will motivate people to spread the word to make sure the goal is met, similar to crowdfunding.

Wow! It feels like I've had this game for years.
