I've been hoping that this would be released for Linux; it is extremely highly rated. Now that we've escaped the Great Linux Gaming Desert, there are more games than I can play :dizzy: , and I am one happy ^_^ camper.

EDIT: I just noticed that I had already bought Forsaken for Windows... :)

I've been playing the Lux games for quite a long while; it was one I bought in the Great Desert of Linux games.

It's a pretty fun game, and is worth the play.

DRM or not, this looks very much like the game I had hoped War For the Overworld, which I supported on Kickstarter 'way back then, would be. I did get "Bedrock Beta" access, and watched the UI and features develop, but, with my motherboard problems, I haven't yet played the official release.

Nonetheless, Dungeons 2 looks like the real deal, and as an old DM II player, this looks like Ever So Much More So. :)

I've been without a desktop for so long :'( , that I had forgotten it being in my Steam library. Once I get it running again :|, I think I'll have a couple or four hours of updates, not to mention games in my library that aren't installed at all (Pillars of Eternity is calling me...)

Half-Life 1 was not only the game that permanently established Valve, but it was the first FPS after Doom 1 to completely revolutionize the genre. No more load a level, kill the boss, and load another level, but a continuous ride into terror. Half-Life 2, of course, upped the ante. The Source version of HL1 is on my wishlist. You bet.

Hmmm. I understand the problems with creating an armada and then only watching the action, and that is sort of what turned me off to the original.

That being said, my Favorite Game Ever, Dominions 4:wub:, has always been "prepare your armies, and then watch the battle" in its core gameplay. This is not a problem within the game; in fact, it's a feature as far as I'm concerned.

GSB 2 does appear, from the video, to allow a far greater customization of one's fleet than before, when you simply selected ships and decided on a formation. I will also mention that it won't necessarily go on my Steam wishlist.

Thanks for the tip; I hadn't noticed the sale. Downloading now, on my ancient Lenovo 3000 N100. I do not expect it to run, but it's worth a shot.

I'm currently RMAing my FIFTH motherboard :><: , and hoping that my somewhat powerful desktop can live again...

EDIT: No, although the start window did come up, the game itself didn't run. Just as I expected... :|
