I like the new campaign. I would have loved it to be longer, but still had lots of fun. More to explore!

Love the music and the style. This was definitely one of the good early access games...

For those on NVIDIA, the 396.54.05 driver seems to have some noteworthy performance improvements

He also noted that those on Ubuntu can grab it from a different PPA provided by Canonical for easy installation.
Just because it wasn't clear to me, this link is the dev channel of the "usual" graphics drivers ppa. Presumably, once they feel the driver is stable enough, it will make it into the main ppa for those of us who don't want to be quite that far on the bleeding edge.

Here is the stable ppa, in case anyone hasn't found it yet:

Quoting: FictionbrainLooks like it can work if you edit a config file
Thanks for the tip. I might see if I can get it working.

I can understand the lack of support if they are a small dev team. Maybe we can gently encourage them in the steam forum if we can track down the current issues.

Did the first one ever get fixed on Linux? They do look like a lot of fun.

Exciting.
Wow! I just hope that the "Valve Culture" is good for Ethan. It would be great if he could pour his energy into a project like this!

Ethan is a hero. It would be amazing if Valve could hire him - his work output has been nothing short of incredible for a one-man operation.

Quoting: EhvisI have to say that all the Borderlands games have a huge amount of replayability, without needing any "procedural generation" stuff.
I suppose it does still have procedural guns.
Haha! You are right, of course. I guess I am more concerned with games replacing good story and well-crafted worlds with procedural generation. Heck, I enjoyed Steamworld Heist and the levels are generated fresh each time. However, that doesn't take away from the strong story and sense of progression.

Having played so many hours of these, I felt duty-bound to spend the additional $8 to get all the remaining DLC, if only to support Aspyr. Also bought some DLC for a friend so we can play together :-)

Edit: Just because it needs saying again - If anyone out there has not played "Assault on Dragon Keep," go do it right now.

The new CrossCode trailer shows off some seriously good action

Looking forward to this. This seems to have echos of Hyperlight Drifter, which I enjoyed a lot.
