Quoting: Quote from HadBabitsYou dick; I was really hoping for XCOM :( Slow news day or not, that was just mean.

Hardly, what Phoronix is doing by not clarifying the issue is just mean. I think Liam mostly did this to counter the wave of websites getting peoples hopes up.

Quoting: Quote from philip550cI didnt mean that it was his fault.

Well, I did not necessarily mean to say you were finding him at fault.

Quoting: Quote from philip550cI know that drm haters wont agree but I think a major reason for lack of sales is not being on steam. I would love to see dirk dashing in my steam linux games list.

While I do not want to sidetrack this thread from being about people giving Troy the best wishes he deserves, I do have to respond to this, as the whole Greenlight campaign for Dirk Dashing 2 was one of the greatest indictments of Steam from a developers perspective I have seen in a long time (although what happened with Paranautical Activity is also up there). The amount of trolls that campaign got was disgraceful, and I would wager that it did not do Troy's health any favours.

So I would say it is Steam's fault for not having him, and not Troy's fault for not getting on Steam.

I wish him the best of luck, and I can definitely understand from personal experience the pressures placed on you when the job you love the most is not what is paying the bills or is taking up more time and money then you can really afford.

Still, I am glad the games will still be up and purchasable for the foreseeable though. Nothing saddens me more than to see a work of art go out of circulation forever.

Quoting: Quote from n30p1r4t3They didn't actually make AMFP, the Chinese Room did.

Yes, I am aware of that. It does not change the fact that the Amnesia franchise is showing some fatigue and that it is probably good for Frictional to go in a new direction.

I am not saying that pigs was necessarily bad, just that it showed that it is time to move on (I myself have not played it yet).

After some of the mixed responses to pigs, it is probably for the best that they do something fresh. And even if it is another horror game, this does look fresh for them.

That one was tough, I grant you. ^_^

Well, in my opinion nothing in the DLC truly equalled the difficulty of that one laser puzzle pictured in the review screenshots. :P

Also, keep in mind that the combat difficulty is way down in Hard Times as compared to the original, which in my opinion evens things out.

I personally would like to see a more puzzle oriented game like Penumbra: Requiem. Under appreciated gem (as is Penumbra as a whole, but especially Requiem).
