Quoting: tuubiThe Metro games proclaim "full controller support" so I assume it's not all hardcore twitch action, but how's the difficulty? Can I expect to enjoy the story even if I'm not that keen on (or very good at) FPS action?

I have zero twitch skills and suck hardcore at FPS's and I greatly enjoyed the Metro games. There were a couple of parts that I had difficulty with but for the most part, you can play it pretty slow and methodical.

That sucks. I never had any crashes thankfully, but yeah, if you visit their official forum it's pretty clear that they are a little over their heads. It's a very small team and I don't think that they expected the success they found.

As far as the game goes, I adored it right up until I hit the final dungeon and lost all of my best guys. The prospect of starting over was too daunting.

Civ V. That series being available on Linux was the deciding factor that made me drop my Windows partition.

Quoting: redshiftBecause you're not buying anything.

I'm aware of that, but it's not really a valid reason. Crowd funding is not "buying" but it legally could (and should) be considered "investing" and there are a hell of a lot of laws already on the books that make it illegal to intentionally mislead investors.

I realize that these companies protect themselves by calling what they are asking for "donations" but I really think that, if challenged, the law would agree that since future goods are being promised in the form of backer rewards, that "investment" is a more proper term.

I really don't understand why these things are still allowed to happen. Crowd-funding fraud has happened enough times now that I am surprised regulatory laws haven't caught up yet.

Mordheim: City of the Damned through Wine. Love the game. I am a huge fan of the tabletop game and while the digital version is not a straight adaptation, much to my chagrin, I actually think it works really well. The changes they made work better for a video game.

I never would have deleted my Windows Partition if I'd known that Civ V might be the last Civ game that I get to play.

Not familiar with the books, but I loved Joe Decer's Lone Wolf series and this sounds similar. Might be worth a look.

One of my favorite games. Love it. Never encountered any of the issues you mention though. Sounds like it may be fixable with tweaks in the graphics menu though. Maybe it's set at the wrong resolution?

Color me curious. If they take some cues from Sunless Sea this could be great.
