Quoting: dudiblahBeen waiting on this game, would love to fire it up and test some stuff. Alas there is no version to do so yet. Looks like a wonderful game though. What do the frame rates look like?

It seems to be available on Steam right now? What do you mean, "no version to do so"?

I don't do EA these days, but their EA description talks about a release in December this year, so that's Christmas sorted! I loved the original MechWarrior series and cried a bitter tear of regret when I saw that Microsoft had picked up the IP. Gutted. So this is a must-buy for me. Looking forward to it!

Quoting: CorbenHmm... now the Killing Floor 2 entry on Aaron's Website [External Link] has been replaced by Flywrench.
Looks like Tripwire didn't like that he had this entry on his website.
I hope this didn't cause any trouble.

edit: oh, also the tweet [External Link] got deleted.

Flywrench and N++ were there before, but yeah, he's deleted KF2. Might not be bad news as such, just that TW didn't want him "revealing" the possibility of a port before they're ready.

Would be a shame if they've really canned their interest in a Linux version. They spoke about Linux at length back in their 2014 announcement and they've taken a lot of heat on the forums since when they lost their sole Linux developer. To the point that you can't actually comment on threads on Steam's Killing Floor 2 pages unless you own the game. Nice way to shut up annoying Linux users from moaning about a lack of port!

Fingers crossed, but I pretty much scratched this off my wishlist last year. It would be a lovely surprise if it comes our way, but I'm not holding my breath!

Provided it's a decent quality port, I'd definitely pick this up. It might be a forlorn hope, as it's had a rough ride through Early Access, but if there's a hope that it grabs me like the first one did, then I'd have many hundreds of happy hours ahead of me playing this. It would fill the void that PayDay 2 left when I realised that their voice chat would never be fixed and I gave up on playing it any further (and funny to think that they're still punting DLC at their player base... sigh)

Excellent! Been waiting for news of this since a positive note from the developer back in March last year. Great stuff - will purchase this weekend and give it a whirl.

Quoting: boltronicsI wasn't looking for a debate. You're hassling. It seems you don't even recognize that you're doing it.

We're done here.

Well, I thought I was engaging, not hassling, personally. However, to be clear, my sincerest apologies - it wasn't my intention to get on your case. It seems I've overreacted to your comments to Liam.

As I said, we're all humans typing these comments and a lot is lost in the written word. Sorry again.

Quoting: ArdjeFCE for instance is at 1250 hours

Suspect the answer might be obvious but... what's FCE?

Fortresscraft evolved or http://store.steampowered.com/app/254200 [External Link] on steam. I love openworld and I love building. Fortresscraft really suits both. At first it might seem a bit blocky, but once you get the hang of it... It's advanced automation and still 3D first-person. And the maker (single guy) is always live streaming his work and his 2 cats.
My most played games are probably mad-max, ark: survival, SR 3, planet explorer and this beauty. And sometimes TIS-100.

The depth of FCE (thanks!) actually ended up putting me off! I sank in about 20 hours or so, experimenting with various maps and methods. The fact that the combustion engines don't work below a certain point was really infuriating, the cold caverns killed me too quickly, finding Lithium took, literally, hours. So it's a bit of a learning curve.

After getting to know it a bit better, doing proper research for suit heaters and so on, fighting off a few waves successfully, building the giant spider robot, having working lines for coal, iron, bronze, tin, lithium, gold... I thought I was doing okay. I was chuffed. Then I looked at some videos online and realised that I was only about 1% into the game (if that!). The complexity and depth is absolutely astonishing, but I just don't have that kind of time to kill. In the end, I had to draw a line under it and move on. Amazing game though.

I might give Factorio a go when it launches, but from the sounds of it, it's the same game, but in 2D...

Quoting: scaineNot sure why you feel the need to hassle me for this.

You insinuated a lack of respect I didn't agree with. That's not me "hassling" you any more than you were "hassling" Liam in the first place.

Quoting: boltronicsAs two of the people who run the site

Liam owns the site and I support him via Patreon and contribute the odd article, as indeed anyone can. To be clear, if I step out of line, I'll be banned as quickly as anyone else.

As for being "professional", I personally value the discussion that this site provokes and, unlike Steam, or Reddit, that discussion is usually based on respect, with perhaps a few heated exceptions! If you occasionally don't like the tone of a comment, that's not unprofessional, that's opinion, that's real life. Call it out, by all means, if you find it offensive, but it's easy to lose tone and nuance in a comment, easy to assume insult when none was intended. In the three or four years I've dealt with Liam, I've never found him to be the person you're suggesting he is; someone who laughs at other people for kicks.

Quoting: boltronicsYou call it a joke, and then go on to explain how it's not a joke. So which is it? Maybe you just call it a joke because you enjoy laughing at people?

Really...? Are you seriously comparing poking a bit of fun at us all to a complete lack of respect on Liam's part? Is there no part of you that can accept that a zero byte download in your Steam queue is a /r/firstworldproblem and getting worked up about it is a bit silly?

Quoting: boltronics

Quoting: liamdaweI get plenty of games that do a similar thing

Really? Not that I've heard of or seen. Which ones?

I get this occasionally too - couldn't even tell you what games, I just ignore it. I had two such zero-byte downloads on Sunday just gone, with two "real" updates. It happens occasionally.

As Liam notes, it's odd how worked up folk get over such a things.
