Nice. Loved the first game. Finished it about 3 times. It scratched my itch for a new puzzle game after Portal 2.

But without Linux native support, I would only take it on a Steam sale when it will be heavily discounted, a couple years from launch.

Wow, talk about putting their wallet were their mouth is. Just bought Terraria to show my support for this kind of attitude.

Quoting: Linux_RocksThat cinematic trailer was good. Maybe I'm bias cause I like Idris Elba, but I got sucked right in.

He's such a good actor and seems like a cool guy. I wish he'd reconsider being James Bond. He's literally perfect for the role. I can totally picture him in an homage scene to Dr. No, playing baccarat with a cigarette in his mouth saying "Bond, James Bond."
Agreed. He has the charisma and womanizer qualities you expect from a good Bond actor. But, that should had happened about 10 years ago. He is 51 now, so only would had time for 1, maybe 2 films before being too old, IMHO.

Sure, you had a couple guys like Tom Cruise stretching the age limit for a action actor, but I personally find it very unconvincing and distracting, after all, being in my forties, I know age let you at a huge physical disadvantage against younger guys. No amount of makeup or special effects will make me forget that.

Toaplan Arcade Shoot 'Em Up Collection Vol.2 definitely delivers

I bought Truxton off the Volume 1 collection, and I can vouch for the quality of the emulation. Way more convenient than efforts from Capcom and Sega.

And yet, Baldur's Gate 3 is topping charts without any DRM protection. How dare they launch a game in 2023 without DRM. Also, the game have too much content. They should had left some out to sell during the season pass.

And BTW, if you are intimidated by those old school shooters, Bitwave included nice assistance in the emulator, like slow-motion and rewind, all accessible in the top buttons and triggers of the joypad. This makes the game more enjoyable to old farts like me, that do not have cat-like reflexes anymore.

I bought Truxton and I was impressed. While not perfect, it was a solid port/emulation. Their CRT filter is excellent. They even fixed a couple bugs after release faster than many big names out there. I liked it better than Capcom or Sega releases of old classics. No buggy 3D launchers, just strait to the point, go play this thing.

I will look if one of these fits on my taste and buy it. I imagine by now their emulator must be very mature.

Quoting: M@GOidI wished they show this on the Store page, so when I tempted to buy a game that does not have a native Linux port (I may or may not had broken a promise...), I don't need to refund it later because it doesn't work on Proton.
They've listed this on the store page for a long time. It's down the right hand side.
For some reason Valve decided not to show that information to users in countries where the Deck isn't officially sold. Is M@GOid in one of those countries?
I'm from Brazil, and yes, no Steam Deck here, nor can I see the thing on the corner of the page of the store.

Broforce FOREVER arrives for the legendary action platformer on August 8th

This is one of the games that made me give up on AAA to dedicate more to indies. Simple, fun, lots of laugh, especially if played with friends.

Reminds you that gaming is more than wandering on a open world and do quests to reach the end of a game, AKA every AAA game out there.
