Yeah the 4 player or so co-op alien marine type game but with a more open campaign (choose career path I think was mentioned) would have been great. But I would be surprised if they even have a single level or design done on that front.

The development of this game is a good lesson to others as to why it isn't always a good idea to change course sharply just because of what is popular at the time. Now the market is saturated with bad to great arena games that this has ZERO chance, BUT as a open ended colonial marine shooter with coop, it would have done quite well!

OOOPS....

Divinity Sins 2, wish it was available on linux. I have restarted 3 times now, due to major updates and or mods / something.

Yeah I have Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, good game. The ending gets a little weird however, I haven't completed the expansion pack but it seems to be mostly a challenge arena type of island thing. Dogma worked under Wine well except for flickering cross lapping shadows bug. (when bushes cast shadows over tree shadows)

$20 isn't really a steep price for this title. Maybe for the first one as its older but this looks pretty well priced. I will add it to my list of things to get once I return to Linux end of year (going to wait for DC drivers to release).

NICE, once this happens I will buy RotTR, I really liked the first one even thought I didn't finish it (50%), it was great. I did have performance issues at the time in certain areas because I insist on running 4k on my FuryX which is really pushing it (some areas run 20fps despite what the benchmark might claim).

I expected to have a Vega64 by now but the release is a mess and no ITX variants in sight, so it looks like I wait for Navi or a significant pricedrop on the 1080ti Mini card. So a long wait..... (this is one of main reasons why I have stopped buying games for Linux as of late, I need my hardware to support 4k@60fps more consistently, and atm it struggles)

Its a evolving platform that keeps getting better for games and developers. Once MESA (DC) and RADV are concrete then things will start looking up I think, which from what I hear could happen by 4.15-4.16 official kernel release.

Personally I'm pretty happy with the latest KDE Plasma desktop, it seems to be a gem imo, gnome derivatives are extremely experimental and often have LOTS of features removed or hidden in a 'wall of text in editor' type of way to accessing them (MATE/XFCE).

Just give me the GUI complete desktop customization options, don't force me to remember/find/guess text edit hacks... (or download 50 plugins to do basic modifications!)

Sounds good, definitely on my buy list once it works out for Linux.

Wondering if its just a steamOS box with atari paintjob on top. Not a bad thing, if SteamOS can get some movement it would help Linux allot, and MESA is coming along nicely so isn't a terrible choice now, however AMDGPU DC is still waiting for 4.15 Kernel hopefully, but it has quite a few bug reports.

I also wonder what sort of GPU power a $250 console can fetch you these days, obviously its going to be 1080p for the most part, probably more powerful then the Switch. I'd say it sit between the switch and PS4Pro, hopefully...

Hmm, well if it has at least a RX560 equivalent GPU chip in it then it should be a nice middle ground for those who don't want to spend much and also don't want to detach too far away from PC titles. I'm going to assume the online component and MP gameplay will be largely free to access, which would be a good thing.

However there might be some issues getting titles like overwatch running on Linux, but who knows, maybe it will be able to do it. NOT a 4k gaming console at that price, but then again, its all about delivering the software correctly in the end. Linux will be a challenge for them, but MESA is up to snuff and with AMDGPU DRM coming, it will probably do ok.

I thought PPA worked on debian releases?

Going to wait on buying Deus Ex until I get a new 4k high end video card. The FuryX won't cut the mustard, so maybe a 1080TI sometime down the path, probably end up being next year given how the industry is for GPU's atm. IMO VEGA was hugely disappointing for me so I doubt AMD will come up with anything better any time soon.
