Much like Dying Light, this game is really great right up until the really terrible QTE final boss fight. Still a great game overall, I had a blast with it.

Quoting: metro2033fanboyahhh...i didnt even get my hands on DragonFall yet and aint buying games until i finish some more...yet Trine and Honk Kong are my next on list aside MadMax!

Do we know when Mad Max is coming out for Linux? The lack of a SteamOS logo on the Steam page leads me to believe it won't be day 1.

Anyway, Shadowrun: Hong Kong has been running great on my machine so far and I'm really liking the game, as I suspected I would (liked Returns, loved Dragonfall)

Quoting: wolfyrionThe Deluxe Version is around 10GB on Steam...

The soundtrack and art book are 7 GB? :huh:

Edit: Maybe the 3.1 GB on GOG is HEAVILY compressed?

I still have to wait a couple hours until I get home from work to start the 3.1 GB download from GOG. Anticipation level = CRITICAL

Edit: Would setting up a SSH so that I could have initiated the download remotely from work have been too much? :P

I played almost all these games when I was young and I have very fond memories of them, but I have no desire to revisit them. I'm scared that playing them again now, some 25 years later, will destroy the romantic images I have of these games. I'd rather preserve my memories and keep my rose tinted glasses on.

"Their PR email sent out later has confirmed multiplayer is Linux to Linux only."

Bummer. :'(

I finished the demo, it's the tutorial and the first 3 heists, about an hour and a half of gameplay, which is more than fair for a demo IMHO. It's plenty long enough to get a good feel for the game, anyhow. I had the game CTD once on me during that time. Impressively, when I reloaded and picked "Continue" it started me about 5 seconds before the CTD, so the game must autosave fairly often (you can manually save at any time too). Beyond that it was buttery smooth sailing for the nearly 2 hours I spent with the game. In the tutorial mission gondolas had weird outlines, but I'm not sure if that was by design or a graphical glitch. It's the only thing that was possibly a graphical glitch that I saw, everything else rendered just fine.

I think I'm going to pre-order this. I know, I know, pre-order bad, I share that sentiment, but this isn't a case where I'm pre-ordering blind, I'm more informed than had I seen reviews, I've actually played the game and I know for a fact that it exists on Linux, runs well on my particular hardware configuration, and is a game I definitely want to play more.

Quoting: KeyrockAs for 3rd Party DRM, it's probably Steamworks. All recent Kalypso titles seem to use it.

That wouldn't be third party from Steam's view.

Okay, well I didn't notice anything else, at least not in the demo. I didn't have to register a Kalypso account or anything.

I played the demo on my beastly overpriced machine (i7-4790K Titan X), runs like a champ fully maxed at 1440p, easily keeping a V-Synced 60 FPS. I like the game a lot, the interface is really elegant and user friendly. You can set as many waypoints as you like, queue up commands at individual waypoints, and even delete individual waypoints and the game will connect the remaining waypoints for you (or you can delete all waypoints at once and start over). I haven't tried it with my 360 pad yet because this type of game screams m&kb to me, but I'm glad that it sounds like controller works fine. It's quite likely I'll pick this game up as tactical stealth games are right up my alley.

You get to play as a foxy black woman with an afro! I'm definitely down to try the demo now.
