Quoting: PlintslîchoBut now I'm really missing it and I'd love to play some multiplayer again. There simply is no other multiplayer game like Battlefield.If you have the retail version, run it through the Lutris launcher instead and use Proton as the runner rather than Wine-Staging. Maybe MP will work for you that way. Or maybe try running it through the Steam launcher itself if that doesn't work. The MP is worth tinkering for...

I've been playing a lot recently with my kids away at camp:
Native:
Rocket League:
So much RL, so much. Nearly a drug
X Plane 11:
Coming back to it as a tool to conquer my fear of flying before an upcoming trip... A terrific title to have on Linux.
Steel Rats:
Just starting this one, seems like fun, unique visual style. Controls are different....
Super Hot:
Price came down recently, and I picked it up. I'm not sure how much I'll play it (I don't love constantly replaying levels when I die) but no other game has made me feel more like a Matrix-like super hero than this one.
FTL:
I never got into it, and am giving it another shot to decide if it's enjoyable or not...
Proton/Wine:
Angels Fall First:
So much AFF. Best title no one is playing. Like Battlefield 2, but better, and in space.
Void Destroyer 2:
Just starting to gain moment in this early access title as it hits beta. Kinda like Elite or I-War 2. Possibly, once you get by the graphical style, a space sim legend in the making. It's great, and a one man indie dev project to boot.
The Battlefields:
I discussed this in a post above.

BTW: I think I've decided that the Battlefields are my favorite FPS so far. Sure, Insurgency is more realistic and nail biting, and the COD series is faster paced action, but the Battlefields have the best mix of realism and gaming (it's supposed to be fun in the end) and its degree of immersion in the environment is just unmatched.

Quoting: PlintslîchoBattlefield Bad Company 2. This is the first Battlefield game that I've played and I still think it's one of the best multiplayer FPS. No other game like it. Unfortunately, Punkbuster isn't working properly in Wine, so, sadly, no multiplayer. =(Playing this through Proton multiplayer this game works fine for me, and it's a blast. I've played Battlefield 4, 5, and One via Lutris, and I think many ranking lists out there are correct that BF:Bad Company 2 is the best of them, especially for multiplayer. The Maps are terrific, really epic, and so well balanced. The downside is that the people left on multiplayer after all these years have mad skills, making MP a fairly unforgiving environment. The absolute best I've managed on MP is mid-pack...

Quoting: Whitewolfe80The pace is so impressive hanging on in there for the last of us to be fully playable only game i miss from the ps3 library.I've been told that "The Last of Us" is one of the best gaming experiences ever, so I'm waiting for that to be playable as well before dipping my toes into this emulator... I do back it on Patreon, though...

Quoting: XpanderHey, don't you think 2080 TiTi (i.e. 'tie'-'tie') has a nice ring to ie? :)Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThe RTX 2060 SUPER should be called RTX 2060ti...agree, but i think its because they can't make another 2080 Ti :)
Quoting: XpanderSuper is such a stupid name though. but whenever i see that name, somehow the voice of SuperHot (Game) level completion comes into my brain :DI was thinking the same thing!!! That game ruined the word "super" for me forever... BTW, I bought that during the Steam sale and while I can't see myself playing it a ton, it's SO well done, and perhaps the only game I've ever played that truly made me feel like a Jedi-Matrix level superhero...

I bought this and am really enjoying it. A very strong entry....
Tannenberg and Verdun both get gamepad support, plus some helpful balancing changes

I love these games, BTW. VERY atmospheric, and not much like it on Linux. I do wish they hadn't shrunk the maps a bit since EA, I like them more open, but to each their own...

Quoting: PatolaThat's what I tell myself too... GOL should do a "What have you bought in the recent Steam/GOG sales thread."Quoting: Sojiro84And now I am the owner of both of these games. I have spend way way to much on this Steam sale.We both did. At least it helps Valve monetize to fight off Epic Games.
