Quoting: mirowell, most other consoles all had one `advantage`, if you will, which was that they had exclusive titles or at least top-titles on launch. honestly, I thought that could be HL3 here, I bet that this title would have kicked the steambox to a best seller.

I doubt it. Something tells me that making Half-Life 3 a SteamOS/Linux exclusive even for a limited time would just piss a lot of people off.

Quoting: TheBoss

Quoting: Segata SanshiroIs there currently or are there plans to implement an econo-political system? That's just a must have for me and strategy games, not really the military type. Prefer wiping out my advisories with the pen instead of the sword. If they do, then I might actually finally download this after many years of seeing it out there.

Highly doubtful, as the game very much revolves around combat. Would be very weird in a game like this to have that.

Yes, it's a real-time strategy game and not a 4x or grand strategy game. RTS games always revolve around amassing an army and clashing on the field of battle. It's one of the staples of the genre.

Quoting: GuestToo bad it wasn't FO4.

Everything I've read suggests to me that Fallout 4 is crap, at least if you're a fan of RPGs. It's less of a roleplaying game and more of an FPS with RPG elements. I'll stick with Wasteland 2 for my post-apocalyptic RPG fix.

Quoting: flesk(Trying desperately but failing to link the clues to a LEGO game.)

LEGO appeals to people of all ages, hence the 3 people in the picture, from differing age groups.

LEGO is a Danish company, and Denmark has a royalty; and wherever there's royalty, there is bound to be scammy behavior. So there's your 'Royal Scam' hint.

Thanks! :D LEGO it is then!

I'd be happy with Lego Lord of the Rings coming to Linux, only because I already own it, and it's one of the few games I miss playing since nuking my Windows partition.

Quoting: GuestHowever, the following Steam user took a picture of the Steam Section at his store, and look what we see!

To be fair, it says those games are "available on Steam", not SteamOS, so I wouldn't get excited about it just yet.

Quoting: aLMaybe is because im old... but i dislike the teasing u.u

Either give it to me, or let me be happily ignorant... (Dishonored would be awesome tho)

I agree. If you have something to say then just say it. If you don't, shut up until you do.

But I guess it's a marketing thing: they put out a teaser, sites like this pick it up, people start speculating and debating about what it could be, and there you go: free publicity.

Well, I'm still holding out hope. Same for The Witcher 3.

I wish the developers would give us a firm answer one way or the other.

Maybe I'd be singing a different tune if the performance numbers favored Linux, but I think people are making too big of a deal over this. No, performance is not where we'd like it or where it should be, but anybody with a decent computer will still have great performance in Linux. We're not talking a difference between playable and unplayable.

Quoting: KimyrielleI guess they are going through a long process of fine tuning and gradual improvement, like any other Linux distro ever released. At least I have never seen one where the 1.0 was any good. Windows 1.0 was garbage too, btw. ;)

And Windows 2.0, and 3.0, and 3.1, and 95, and 98, and ME, and XP, and Vista...

Nothing is more annoying than things like "we have heard", as it usually means it's a load of rubbish they wrote themselves.

Or it means they saw some uncomfirmed rumors on a message board somewhere. So technically they did "hear" it, but it's still a load of rubbish.

Speaking of other unconfirmed rumors, I really hope it's true that Valve is playing a long-game here and that we're not witnessing the beginning of the end of the grand SteamOS/Linux experiment.
