Quoting: pythoneerDon't care anymore. The game was interesting when it was released. Totally lost interest in it – to be honest i really forgot the game altogether and i don't care in the 12th "soon to be released news" anymore. I am throwing my money at people who deliver – not just promising. If they finally release it – i don't care anymore.
You are making a mistake, man. The game is and always will be fun. I got it with the monthly bundle and even if I wanted to wait for the linux version, I tried it one day on windows and I had a hard time stopping; I put 17 hours in a few days and I see myself putting hundreds more in linux if the game is decently optimized.

I'm so glad I didn't bought this game on the summer sale. I wasn't aware that it's developed by that asshole Garry and I was looking for a survival game. Luckily I bought 7 Days To Die instead

Hitman is one of my favourite game franchises, so if it comes to Linux I hope the port it's done like it should be. I would hate having to boicot it for being a lazy port

Quoting: Al3sI'm not buying it, I have the original and Dying Light and they both run like shit and now that I don't use catalyst I'm not even trying
Dying light has improved no end since they patched it a few times, Run it fine now on the prop drivers with a 290x

Just downloading dead island to see what its like :S: Hope they've learnt from their dying light release
With mesa? Well, then I'm installing it right now. I thougt it was a lost cause. Thanks for the info.
That's with the prop drivers, 15.12's
Shit, I didn't catch that you said prop drivers. 15.12? Is that AMDGPU Pro? Anyway, I'm keeping mesa, it works much better for non gaming use.

OpenApoc, the open source engine for X-COM: Apocalypse shows impressive progress
9 May 2016 at 11:56 am UTC

Quoting: TheRiddickIts a shame the game never got completed to its full extent, it was quite a novel idea back in the day having a whole city to protect and every building being a possible mission point, then the Alien city as the enemy.

I wasn't overly keen on the real-time combat as it became difficult to manage at times, I think it would have been better to have real-time UNTIL you encountered enemy then it went to turn based for easier management.
Quoting: liamdaweI thought the real time combat was a toggle, yoy could switch to turn based? My memory is fuzzy on this one though.

Like OpenXcom i am sure this engine will overcome issues the original had :)
Yeah, you could play the mission turn based like the former games. I didn't play the game at the time of release and then I couldn't get into it because I found it very different from the others and I had no time to learn it. Maybe I'll try again when this engine is more mature.
