Quoting: Stupendous Man28€ with the content pack included? Thanks but no thanks. And I thought the earlier DLCs were expensive (I never bought Common Sense).
Don't get me wrong, I like both EU4 and CK2 and don't mind buying DLCs with lots of content. However, in my opinion Paradox's DLCs have too little content and get released a little too often, at too high a price. All just IMHO, of course.

Hooray! Another expansion pack for one of Paradox's awesome games! \o/

Oh, look, it's someone complaining that the expansion packs are too expensive and too plentiful. How predictable. Oh well... I guess you can't make everybody happy.

Just wait for the inevitable Christmas sale and buy it for 80%.

Maybe one of these days, I'll actually manage to finish a game of EU4 before the next major patch or expansion is released. :p

Lastly, I thought that I should mention that Paradox have collaborated with Swedish power metal band Sabaton to create a music pack for the game. I'm not too sure how well metal meshes with strategy but given that this is the third rock-based optional music pack they've put out, there must be a demand for it.

"Guns, Drums, and Steel" is actually pretty awesome. Here's the metal version of the main theme:

I'll definitely go for more metal music as I pursue world domination!

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

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.
