Isn't this the same publisher as RollerCoaster Tycoon World? It sounds like Atari has some serious internal and external communication breakdowns.

Quoting: Pecisk

Quoting: Mountain ManNot just AAA titles, we need big players like Blizzard and EA to come aboard. I would especially like to see native Linux builds of Diablo 3, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. I love what companies like Feral and Aspyr have done, and Valve, of course, but they can't do it all.

Both EA and Activision are very greedy. Don't expect them to join Linux world any time soon.

They're not human beings, despite what some U.S. laws might say. :) Therefore, they can't be greedy. They're emotionless corporations, and the driving factor behind corporations is profit. All it takes is an executive with some foresight willing to take a risk on something like Linux, which won't be immediately profitable. In the absence of someone like that, a corporation is going to stick with whatever makes it money.

As Zelox suggested above, it's going to take a lot of patience and hope before Linux will become a competitive gaming platform. Maybe it never will. We just have to wait and support companies that make an effort to sell games for it, but there's little point in having ill feelings toward those companies that choose not to, including Microsoft, because it's not personal at all.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI wonder who's fault it is that the steam controller doesn't work in Hero Siege on Linux. It works on Windows, but under Linux the game doesn't recognize it properly and so won't work at all. I'm guessing they need to update their controller detection library. Seems it really only detects an xbox 360 controller.

I have the same problem in Euro Truck Simulator 2. The Steam Controller is only recognized as a mouse and keyboard and not as a controller. The deverlopers told me in early-January that they're aware of the problem and working on a solution but a fix has yet to be released.

Even when launched through Steam Big Picture with controller config set to Xinput Gamepad in the Big Picture menu?

From what I've gathered, if Steam overlay isn't working for your game, the Steam Controller won't work either.

Shame on them for continuously updating their game and making other developers look bad. :D

In all seriousness, I've put in 40 hours, and I think I'm only about halfway through it. It has all the things I like: good story, decent combat, crafting, leveling, character customization and good visuals. I think it's probably the best turned-based game I've played.

Quoting: ziabiceI played the game under WINE, it works very well (it's an Unreal 3 game). Overall the game is not that great, my vote is 6/10.

Story is filled with cliches, ambiental interaction is near zero, you'll move into corridors and on rails, the story development is very slow. Some good characterization here and there, but nothing memorable. I was so bored I don't played the fifth episode (the game anyway ends at fourth episode).

I suggest you to buy it when on sale.

Yep, it works in Wine, and I like the game. I think the story is quite memorable.

Guys, this is quite obviously Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which runs on the Fox Engine. :D

At first I thought there was a bug in the game making it freeze whenever the character wasn't moving. Now I see it's a "stop time" feature. This game will probably drive me crazy, but I'd buy it anyway. According to PC Gamer [External Link], the more we play the demo, the lower the price goes.
