Besides the DRM and the very high price (90U$D for the Deluxe Edition is INSANE), Is to bad this game doesn't come with mod tools... With that, this game indeed would be the new Crysis.

Quoting: barottoThis kind of graphically intensive games push the limits of not only my hardware but of my internet connection as well. At least there's an upgrade path for the former but absolutely nothing I can do for the latter :(

Downloading this game will take my crappy connection a week or so, not considering any subsequent multi GB patch.

Had the same problem with Doom and its 60GB of data. Stopped playing it after its first 12GB patch.

Publishers should consider distributing boxed games like in the '90s, but on read-only SD cards.

(Damn I hate my country so much...)

I agree. Let's back to the cartridge roots..

But We gonna need a USB 3 SSD device...

About performance, I found a very good benchmark on Techspot [External Link] and I agree with their statement:

Is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided "the new Crysis"?

The Game is not CPU demanding: A humble core i3 can deal with it... But the GPU side...Damn!

Are they pairing an Intel Core i3-4130 with an AMD FX8350 processor?? :huh:

Quoting: Comandante oardoWhen You gonna add a Game Tracking feature?

Why would we want that?

Because a lot of gamers like to show to everyone which games they are playing and which steam achievements they earned...

Quoting: Comandante oardoThat is another typical commercial mistake from Feral..
Before release a game on Linux and Mac, they should coordinate the release day with the main publisher, so when the Linux and Mac version of the game come, it will do it in a day of a 75%off sale in all platforms...

If they do that they will "lose" money because people who would have bought it at full price will buy it at -75% instead.

That is the idea... Nobody with common sense and a flat wallet will pay full price for a game that is one year old...
Most gamers buy games on sale.. Specially gamers from countries like Argentina where the U$D is an expensive currency...(that is why I am in favor of regional pricing)

A good commercial strategy is necessary on Linux... And is not happening.

The GMG price is more cheaper than the "Steam Halloween Sale" price.

Quoting: TcheyIs it trusty : https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/mad-max/ [External Link] About 7€ ? I usually buy on Steam, Humble, GoG or dev websites.

Is posible to use a second graphics card for this? You know.. Two graphic cards on the same machine; a GTX 970 for gaming and a GTX 750 for this...

Quoting: Alm888The big problem is that the number of Linux-aware developers is not growing as fast as the number of Linux-ported games.

Agree... We don't have inhouse Linux versions of AAA games (except Metro Last light and the two Metro Redux)...

Quoting: Alm888Companies such as Feral and Aspyr are basically parasites. Or "middlemen" if that word is very strong for one's taste; it does not matter how to call them. The only thing that counts is what they do: they are flourishing on the current Windows/Linux disparity. They are not interested in increasing the number of Linux developers (why would they slay their "herd" ) and instead milking money from developers' foolishness and ignorance in tools selection and lack of Linux experience.

WOW!
I thought my opinion about Feral already was rude, but this is... much technically acurate..

Quoting: Alm888That's just my opinion (as is this "editorial") ) but I think instead of praising porters for bringing half-working "last winter's snow" games which do not matter because everyone interested in them already played under Windows (or on YouTube :-) ), we should encourage actual developers to release games for Linux at launch day.
.

Well thought out.
We need AAA Linux Developers, and not only porters.
In a perfect world, all AAA games will have inhouse Linux version on day1, and porter companies will cease to exist.

Quoting: Beamboom

A small part of the blame also lies in games that are ported from Windows to Linux after the original release.

Dude, this is not just a small part. It is a major part. As a rule of thumb, ports always perform lesser than the game on the platform it were developed. Ports are, generally speaking, not something we want (it's just that for us Linux gamers currently the only realistic alternative is much worse: Wrappers).

I agree 100000%

Windows games like Bioshock remastered and Batman Arkham Knight had so bad performance because of this...

And this is why the Linux version of Batman Arkham knight was so bad that Warner decided to cancel it, instead of Orbis--»Linux, it was Orbis--»crappy Windows port--»Linux

I remember the 90's, when I did xerox copies from xerox copies of school books... The quality was horrible.

Quoting: BeamboomWe don't really want ports. We want games designed for our platform during development.

For that, as mentioned above, We need Linux DEVs.. or use the croudfunding and start our own Dev Studio..
