Quoting: MuffinmanIf this game brings the same fast-paced joy that Star Raiders on the 5200 Atari brought to me in the 80s, then it's a winner in my book. Far too many space game developers are pushing for realistic physics, complicated gameplay, and too much depth. Some of us just want to jump in, blow some stuff up, and leave in a 20 to 30 minute session. The Star Raiders of the 1980s gave you some depth, but not at the expense of fast paced action-packed gameplay.LOL See, I'm one of those people who wants more depth. I'd like to be able to explore, mine, etc. in an open world rather than just dog-fighting, dying, rinse, repeat. I don't really need another Strike Suit Zero. But hey, I hope this game gives you what you want. It's always nice to have options.

I certainly love space games. I just wish it wasn't "rogue-like".
Looks like Shadow of Mordor has bad graphical bugs with Nvidia 364.12

Quoting: lucinossupporting only closed source drivers, is of course better than nothing, but is should never considered a job well done that does not need fix.It didn't run all that well on closed source drivers anyway. I found the framerate drops made it unplayable.
This example demonstrate why.

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

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: PeciskThey'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.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.

A new Steam Client Beta adds new Steam Controller features

Quoting: Vash63From what I've gathered, if Steam overlay isn't working for your game, the Steam Controller won't work either.Quoting: Mountain ManEven when launched through Steam Big Picture with controller config set to Xinput Gamepad in the Big Picture menu?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.

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.
