Quoting: EikeI loved the original Desperados. Now I tried to play Shadow Tactics, but somehow...
I cannot stand the genre anymore. :-(
I had the complete opposite experience this summer: After finishing Shadow Tactics (in a hotel in Arendal (which inspired Arendell of the Frozen movies)), I tried to play the original Desperados (which is also available for Linux), but I just couldn't get into it.
Oh, I cannot get into original Desperados anymore either nowadays!
I started playing it recently and on the fourth or so map with the hanging. What's yer reason for not getting into it nowadays?
I played Desperados 1 and Shadow Tactics. They are completely different games, on desperados 1 the key to winning is crowding/squeezing the enemies into one spot and gun them with all you characters, 80% of enemies on a map can be killed that way... don't try to play the game all the "stealth" way on desperados 1 because it's too difficult that way.
Desperados 3 has also guns, but it takes some time to reload so you cannot shot all the enemies faster enough, but the "macro" gameplay mechanic looks really good, you can shot quite a lot with the macros.
They removed the machine gun the mexican had on the new one also.

if you need help on Desperados 1 I recommend Helldorado150 channel.

Okay i'll keep that in mind while playing Desperados I. It does seem a difficult game already on the fourth map!

Waiting for AMD's RDNA2 announcements. Will never be buying anything Nvidia again, that is for sure.

why would you support a store, that does absolutely nothing for linux?
valve deserves every cent of the 30% cut
That's right! I would prolly purchase a game a day if they delivered the "promised" Galaxy for Linux!

FNA 20.09 is out with the new FNA3D, brings experimental Vulkan support

Quoting: scaineI hate to be "that guy", but I'm not creating a github account just to sponsor Ethan. As much as I'm not a fan of Patreon, the fact that they're not owned by Microsoft is a huge plus for me. I'm sponsoring GOL, Icculus and Godot on Patreon, along with a couple of smaller indie devs, so it's a real shame I can't sponsor Ethan too, considering the huge impact he's had on my gaming (I owe him for Salt & Sanctuary, in particular!)

He did have a Patreon [External Link], a while back. I can't find evidence of it now, but I think he removed it during the 2017 Patreon controversy, where Patreon tried to move service fees to patrons, causing them to remove millions of $1 pledges. Not sure.

Nice that github is absorbing all the payment fees, I suppose, but it's still MS-owned, so not something I want to support. And at the end of the day, an extra 14% or so of zero is still zero. I'd love to show some support though, so it's a shame.

The whole thing brings to mind EGS vs Steam. Sure, EGS will take less of a cut, so it feels like a win, but contributors are already comfortable on Steam and even putting aside comfort/laziness, there's still the moral aspect of "do I want to have anything to do with EGS and their anti-consumer bullshit".
This! A hundred times. And no merch either to support as a one off :/

Please, Ethan if you're checking this thread: ppl want to support you more but the options are too limited. I don't have a GitHub account either and never will for the above mentioned reasons.

Application Systems have multiple upcoming Linux games, try some demos now
