Quoting: LeopardI was playing this game on Android. This game was good but damn hard if you won't do micro payments which eventually needed for upgrading your ship.

I hope that won't be the case with Steam release.

The Steam release of the original did away with all of that, so I'm sure they will with this one too.

Quoting: GuestI’m glad to see a new FPS game on GOG, but the trailer makes this one seem rather boring. You’re a robot shooting other robots in the desert, and that’s it?

Not quite. You're in space hacking control of robots on a planet in order to solve a mystery. It's quite a slow game, so sounds like this might not be for you, but there's more to it than just shooting things.

Quoting: DrMcCoyWell, I did preorder NWN:EE, and have access to the "headstart" (beta) version now.

Does this also mean you will soon have a whole new set of data files to test xoreos with?

Heard of BatMUD? This classic text-based multiplayer game is still going after many years

For those who are MUD-curious, also check out Iron Realms https://www.ironrealms.com/ - they have a bunch there, and are fairly in-character role-play focused.

Wonder who owns the rights to this. Originally was Atari+Bioware.

Looks like the open-world FPS 'The Signal From Tölva' is now on Linux

Quoting: LeopardGame looks like abandoned , 0 in-game.

It's single player so this does not matter. Also, the devs are working on an expansion/dlc for it.

F1 2017 is officially coming to Linux, releasing November 2nd from Feral Interactive

Quoting: 1xokWell, I'm starting to think about a steering wheel. Recommendations?

I am a big fan of my Logitech Driving Force GT. You can get a used one for €/$ 50, which puts it at a few hundred bucks cheaper than a new G27 or 29. It's not as fancy, sure, but it works very well with all the Codemasters' ports. I can't think of a better first wheel.

I can back this up. Mine works well with pretty much any driving game I have. (still no force feedback on *Truck Simulator though, but can live without it)

On Steam, race online against macOS, Linux and Windows players with a full grid of 20 cars, both current and classic.
Nice!

Certainly I´ll buy a copy. But not at start ...

Currently I am a little retro on the road. I have unpacked my old Amigas (2x A500, 2x A1200, 1x A600). In addition, I found an Amiga 1000 over ebay, which I just restore. He is technically in a good condition but has visually suffered very much. Very yellowed.

Therefore, I currently do not have very much time to play on the PC. And therefore I would buy F1 2017 only, but not play. But sooner or later I´ll grab it.

This is what you want then. :)

Quoting: Audi
Quoting: rustybroomhandleMy desire to play this is wrestling with my strong dislike of the CEO of this company. :/ I think in the end a surprise third challenger will enter the arena - my empty wallet. :)

What is the reason for dislike for the CEO?

This is not a good place to get into that since it involves dredging up GamerGate again, and I feel we should spare Liam that. ;)
