Stellaris: Leviathans DLC and Heinlein patch 1.3 released

Quoting: ColomboI am fan of paradox games.
Really? I would have never guessed, because the list of complaints you have about Stellaris could apply to pretty much any of their games.

Quoting: liamdaweDifference of opinion, I love Stellaris, as do many people. I also said space strategy specifically, not strategy as a whole.
Sure, but why? What I am missing?
I don't know if you're "missing" anything, I think it's just not the game for you. Like the other Paradox grand strategy games, the goal is not to "win" but to tell your own emergent story of your empire shaped by the choices you make.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWhat's the best way of saying "Thanks Feral, port more!" without having to buy another copy. I don't really need another copy, don't mind giving them money, and wish the Steam thing worked differently than it does.. but really, should be a way in steam that says "please I know I bought this before, but share some love with the third party porting houses!"
Gift it to a friend, or give away the key through the forums.

Quoting: neowiz73everything seems to run fine, doesn't seem to matter what level of settings I go for it performs about the same. I've tested it on High and Very High presets. High seems to have an odd bottleneck that causes the FPS to drop a lot periodically. But on Very High the FPS don't drop nearly as often, just seldomly.
That seems rather odd. I have the game running very smoothly on the high preset with just a couple of tweaks (system is just above minimum specs), but I'm curious if I can replicate your experience with very high settings.

My system is right above the minimum specs, and I'm able to play on the high graphics preset with very good performance. So nice job, Feral!

I think it's easily the best space strategy game available on Linux right now.
I think Star Ruler 2 + Rising Star mod has way more content and replayability.

I played one full game of Stellaris at release (12 hours), and i didn't feel i want to play it again since then.
If your haven't played Stellaris since release then you really should give it another look. The three patches rehearsed since then have introduced significant changes and improvements.

Quoting: GuestThe game looks interesting but so many DLC packs. If Galaxy edition included all the DLC's it would have been interesting but this seems a bit too expensive the way they have it set up.
Most of the DLC is purely cosmetic. Leviathans is the first content DLC and was preceded by several substantialv free patches.

Speculation: A recent Mesa commit hints at a possible Batman: Arkham Origins Linux port (update: no it isn't)

Origins was easily the worst of the Arkham games, but I still would have loved to see it on Linux.

I'll buy it, but with Mad Max hitting today and my current play through of several other games, I don't know when I'll have time to give it a proper go.

Looking at some of the videos and screenshots, this game bears a very strong resemblance to Shadow of Mordor.
