Quoting: PeciskThis is an excellent and defining point. When I help people migrate to Linux that also play computer games, very few of them switch because of FPS. Most switch because the computer game they are already enjoying or plan to enjoy is on Linux. They are tired of whatever is going on in their current OS or are just curious. Those that stay, do so because they find more programs of use to their daily computing needs and they find other games to enjoy.Quoting: Aresofirst A for big budget, second A for big dev and publisher, and third, it was once, A for quality.Sure, but then disqualify PC altogether, because best AAA games are on consoles these days. PC market is big, sure, but console market just guarantees that sweet sweet revenue. There's good reason why Arkham Knight was canned for PC altogether.
So, AAA games tend to have a lot content, quality models, animations, voice overs, videocuts and so on...
I think this discussion which rages now for years is basically about "is this enough for Linux desktop to exist and grow?" and we have different opinions where this growth should/can come from. You think Windows gamers suddenly will switch over to Linux for some frame per second or other reason....not really. I never bought that argument.
For me Linux gaming is - does it offer enough entertainment and fun for Linux user NOT to use Windows dual boot or switch to Windows altogether? I would argue it does for many, many users.

Can't remember if this is an ongoing article or is there going to be a final part and then a summary of all of them previous ones combined for a final take?
If you follow all of the work liamdawe put into all of these parts, the outlook seems great. I just wish I could support more of these games but I'm not into single player games and most of the ones covered were.

I may sometimes go above the $20 limit if the game provide editing tools for levels, characters or more.

For me to buy a game, it has to have
- *Linux native - Dosbox wrappers are the exception for older games
- *DRM-FREE - With slight exception to Steam
- Split Screen or Same Screen Gaming
- 100% Controller Support
- Local Multiplayer - Versus or Cooperative
- $20 or under

Very rare that I like and complete a SP game. RCR was a joy to play and complete. This would have been an instant buy for me and possibly from my son.

That map is perfect but others have missing and flickering textures. Also during use of the flash like some textures disappear.
ATI and Intel users do not have this problem.

Quoting: g000hI've generally had very positive experiences with Linux and gamepads (well Xbox 360 gamepad and Xbox 360 gamepad clones). Launching Rocket League for the first time, and all the buttons and sticks were mapped correctly, without needing to configure anything.It's more likely the game. All of my gamepads work without issue on Linux. I have a 16 different types that I use frequently.
I'd be tempted to blame the games (or the specific distro) if gamepads are working badly.
