Still have high hopes for the game. Although that monster UI with its animations that constandly scream: "Look at me! I am the thing that blocks 30+ % of your screen, mostly with border decorations, in case you havent noticed." is hard to ignore in the game footage i've seen so far. Hope that will not be as much of an atmosphere killer once one has goten used to it.
Anyway - nice to see day 1 release.

War Thunder - it was the one game I played regularly before I decided to switch to Linux and having a Linux version avaliable made the switch pretty painless in terms of gaming needs at that time.
And Shadowrun: Dragonfall since it "cured" me somewhat from my War Thunder addiction.

Since then I bought and played lots (way to many actually ;-)) of great games for this platform - some of which I probably would not have noticed on Windows.

Quoting: Luke_NukemSo far this has shown there are three types of people.

The Die-Hard. These gamers won't buy unless there is a proper port or official support.

The Pirate. These gamers don't want to pay for a Windows version, but do want to play the game. They see nothing wrong with pirating it.

The Weiner. They dual-boot and still buy many Windows only games.

Where do I fit in?
I technically still have a Windumb partition.
I might have thrown a few bucks at the game if they had bothered to port or wrap it even though seeing the Bethesda intro logo usually made my left eye twitch for a prolonged period of time.
I stopped being a seafaring swashbuckler once I gave away my C=64.

Best way to use the steam controler in WT is to strap it to your head and use the gyro for headtracking ;-)

Concerning the nation balance: well there have been some rough times but currently it seems quite allright. Would still avoid tier V though since that is usually where things fall apart somewhat.

Thats why I wrote dlc. Sega is annoyingly experienced at selling dlcs so they should easiely be able to work out a way to make it worth the developers efford - be it CA or Feral that do the coding on their end.

Since TW:Warhammer seems to be a long term project with lots of content to come it would be a good place to start getting crossplatform play to work.

I think I will wait for the cross platform dlc ;-)

Hmmm,
Core2Quad q9400 @2,66
6GB RAM
GTX 670 2GB
1280x1024 Screen
...this should clearly fall into the max quality settings category ;-)
Looks like a buy and try to me.
On the other hand: a slideshow of sand and sun, while a gentle warm breeze from my pc is warming my feet, does not sound to unappealing either, considering the nights are starting to get chilly this time of year around here.

Update: about an hour into the game it actually seem quite playable(with a few minor stutters) even with settings cranked up to eleven. Pretty sure there will be more taxing enviroments later on but there is a lot of room to scale it down it i guess.
