Quoting: Whitewolfe80

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Really quick question does the saboteur work with a controller from your script, 3rd person shooters are not that much fun on mouse and keyboard for me.

I've never tried before, but I quickly checked with an X360 controller just now and the game didn't recognise it. It might be possible to get it working with some tweaking but it's not something I have any experience with as I almost exclusively use kb+m.

No worries thanks for the reply if i get it working i will put up what i did for anyone else that wants it
edit right changed some wine dependcies added xinput buttons worked sticks did not however used the guide over on boiling steam now have controller working perfectly. Thank you for the script.

Personally, I am diametrically opposed to your game play preference. For me, I use a gamepad or joystick for driving games, platformers, or fighters. But I'd never ever want to touch such controls for a 3D shooter like DOOM, Xonotic, Painkiller, Serious Sam or a 3D RPG like Witcher 2, Deus Ex, Shadow of Mordor, Mad Max, etc.

Quoting: Duke Takeshi

Quoting: Kels

Quoting: Duke TakeshiI also came to the conclusion that it should be Hellblade. It seems a bit too obvious, though, but I can't find another way to connect the word "pandemonium" to a certain game. In Hellblade, Senua atually travels to the nordic hell (Helheim) to defeat Hela, which is kind of the nordic equivalent of Satan/Lucifer.

The nordic Hel doesn't really have much in common with Satan/Lucifer at all, much less the one that appears in Paradise Lost.

Also "Hela" is the Marvel Comics name for her. Traditionally her name is the same as the realm she's associated with, which isn't on fire and isn't meant for punishing people (she was appointed to her position, to provide lodging and accommodation for people who died in mundane circumstances like old age or sickness, as opposed to Glorious Battle™).

Mind you, how she's portrayed in video games does tend to fit the more familiar Christian pattern of someone evil who mistreats the dead and meddles in the world of the living.

From experience I wouldn't take the Feral radar hints too literal. For example, last time it was a Garibaldi biscuit and one would have to guess that the Arcadia Bay area of Life Is Strange was influenced by an actual town in Oregon called Garibaldi. The game actually doesn't have anything to do with biscuits.
This can also mean that the teased game has nothing to do with hell and/or apocalyptic settings. As I pointed out earlier, "Pandemonium" is also a famous rollercoaster, so it could as well mean they're porting planet coaster or whatever.

I just summarized various facts (e.g. UK-based cooperation between Feral and Ninja Theory, use of Unreal Engine, some kind of mythological underworld setting) which in my opinion fit together well to bet on Hellblade.

In this case both hints, the painting and "proud seat of Lucifer" point to "Pandemonium" (it is the name of the painting and the proud seat of Lucifer in the mentioned epic poem "Paradise Lost"). I have, however, not yet found a really good link between any game and that word...my guess with Hellblade was because Senua actually goes into the "hell" of her mythology to save the soul of her lover. The name "Hela" I used, because it's her name in the game...I don't know much about nordic mythology :D

In that Feral radar - As well as the Garibaldi clue, there was also the quote clue: "It's just a shot away" which appears in Rolling Stones' song 'Gimme Shelter'. One song inspiration was that people were scurrying for shelter from a rain storm. The game suggestion : Life Is Strange: Before The Storm - was successfully guessed based on that clue, by qptain Nemo.

Meanwhile, another little comment based on your observation: John Milton's Paradise Lost is something of the theme of the whole clue... and "What is John Milton famous for?"

Paradise Lost is regarded as the greatest "epic" poem in English. Taking it a bit less literally, does this hint suggest that the game might be related to "Epic Games"? Maybe - Fortnite ? Hehe!

Quoting: PatolaSteam just added to the sales a bunch of old-school RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate Siege of Dragonspear, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment, along with the RTS Armello. Is this one any good?

I own many of those RPGs on GOG, the Baldurs Gate Enhanced ones, for example. But I only owned Planescape Torment: original version. So, I decided to pick up Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition on Steam. It is at 80% discount (£2.99).

Quoting: Stupendous ManThis is the first time I've tried the monthly bundle, Hearts of Iron IV made me make the jump. Does anyone know if I'll still get the late unlocks if I go ahead and cancel my subscription immediately? Their FAQ seems to say yes:

QuoteQ: If I cancel, will I still keep the games I have received?

Yes! You will keep all of the games you have paid for. If you cancel before a monthly releases you will still receive the rest of the games once the monthly has launched.

Can anyone confirm that I'll still get the late unlocks? If yes, I'll just go and download all the games from the Trove and then cancel.

With the Monthly subscription mechanism, assuming you pay for the brand new bundle and then claim the early reveal, then the money will come out of your account for that month, and you'll get the late unlocks at the end.

You don't need to pause-a-month or out-right cancel your subscription until the last week of the present month. I tend to pause mine on 20th of the month, just before the money comes out.

While unpaused you get the store extra discount benefit. :)

So, you paid for July monthly (Hearts of Iron IV), so you don't need to pause or cancel until 20th July or later. If you paused, then if the next Monthly (August) is good, you can unpause again (and get charged for that one once you claim the early-reveal or just after 20th July passes).

Hmmm... Well the Humble Monthly turned up and it does have 1 Linux game: Hearts of Iron IV and 2 non-Linux: Portal Knights and Blackwake (and neither look like they're coming to Linux either).

Disappointing :/

Quoting: nitroflow

Quoting: [email protected]Finally picked up Dying Light Enhanced Edition in the Chrono.gg daily sale - so far, I'm liking most of what I see, although my parkour skills need a lot of work (took me four tries to set the trap on the signal pole in the rail yard in the prologue - I kept imagining hearing the infected laughing at me...).

The only mail I got from Chrono.gg is about War for the overworld, I've searched around the site and never saw Dying Light mentioned anywhere. Are you sure you got it there?

chrono.gg deals only last for 24 hours, then they are gone and a new deal starts. But.. maybe the Fanatical one I shared suits you.

There's another Dying Light on sale at the moment - Here:

https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/dying-light

66% off for base game + some new dlc content. But, from what I can tell it isn't the expanded version with "The Following" content.

Quoting: coesetaI really hope it is Dark Souls Remastered :)

Although it does fit in quite well with the clues, Bandai Namco have practically zero Linux presence in their game catalogue (The only one I am aware of is Chroma Squad).

Meanwhile, irritating that if this turns out to be true (I don't think it will) that I own the original Windows release, but not the Remaster.
