Very fun to play actually, the art style reminds me a bit of Another World. I would say that I wish it was open-source since it looks like it would be fun to tinker with but it seems like they are going to be developing it further (presumabley as a full game) according to the game's website.

Quoting: hummer010Alright, so I've just purchased IV. I've already got the Third from a Humble Bundle at some point, but I've never played it. Rumour has it that the Third is also coming to Linux. Should I wait for the Third to come to Linux and play them in order, or does it matter?

The Saints Row games don't really tie together in terms of story so you could play them in any order really. Saints Row 2 is also coming too (hopefully). However looking at the performance right now I'd say wait a little bit to see if the performance improves a bit because I'm getting quite a bit of stuttering (although these games are nortorious for poor PC optimisation in general so it's probobly not all down to the port).

Quoting: Samsai

Quoting: MurderousMincePieI wish I'd known about this sooner! I love TES series to bits and it's what I miss most from switching to Linux. But I'm slightly confused, obviously it requires the assets of the orginal Morrowind but doesn't it search for a pre-existing installation in order to run? How would you do this on Steam? Wouldn't it be impossible to install on a Linux system? Would I need to buy it on a sperate service like GOG in order to aquire it's assets?

There are ways to download the data from Steam using a tool called steamcmd or simply by running Steam in Wine. Alternatively you can download the installer from GOG and use innoextract to essentially unzip the contents into a nice directory. All you have to do then is to tell OpenMW where the data files are (it has a setup wizard).

Cheers, I'd completely forgot about WINE so I think I'll try that if I can't get SteamCMD to work.

Really hoping that Valve stick with SteamOS. They should just have had the Alienware machine and a couple of others honestly and advertised the crap out of them. Granted I've got no marketing experience but I've seen no advertisements for these machines so I doubt people outside of the PC gaming loop will even know they exist.

Hooray! I bought a multipack for my friends and we played this a bunch but I haven't played it since I switched to Linux. Such good news!

Looking forward to Saints Row 3 immensely, never played the fourth so that should be cool too.

But I really cannot wait for Payday II and Alien Isolation. Oooooh boy that is gonna be gooood. Should we have a celebratory GOL bank robbery when it débuts?

Sadly, the guy seems to have gone silent on his blog about it :(

:( :( :( I love Banished, really hope it comes over.

With Saints Row 3 coming over to Linux this would be the icing on the cake. I want this to happen so bad :D .
