I never expected so much discussions on this topic at all. I guess the interest in VR is really high for such a niche?

Quoting: ElectroDDSounds like that. One way I found to ease the feeling and not fall while standing ( I almost tripped myself while standing ), is to make a step forward, and stay that way ( don't know how to describe t better in english, i'm french please forgive me xD ). Feet spread not sideway but on the front and the back, like you want to walk.
Then when you start to wlk in the game in a direction, you'll naturally put your weight on the front or back leg, you'll still feel the discomfort but at least, you won't fall because your brain tell your body to.

Nice, thanks :) I think this is referred to as "lowering your weight" - or center of mass - in sports.

Quoting: ElectroDDConcerning the motion sickness in FPS, I tried alien isolation.
It's not motion sickness you experience, but the strange feeling that your legs are not moving while you move creating a feeling of weirdness in your brain and you kind of lose sense of orientation and tend to believe you're falling.

Sounds like Space Adaptation Syndrome. Does this compare? The description I mean. You've probably also never been to space before

I tried to like this. I really did.

As usual with Kalypso titles.

It's bearable without AI, that builds totally crazy all over the place.

Quoting: PatolaVery interesting facts, didn't know that. I am very interested in this franchise, can you expand a little why Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, Jagged Alliance: Crossfire and Jagged Alliance - Flashback don't cut it? If you were talking about Jagged Alliance Online: Reloaded I would understand better, since the servers have been just turned off and the game is thus unplayable today (like what happened with Shadowrun Chronicles ), but these games from the gameplays on youtube do not seem so bad, and the bad ratings mostly seem to be from people who disagree with some mechanics decisions.

Hard to put a finger on. Yes, game mechanic is a huge point. This is what happens when you change a turn based game wildly (also in art and style). And none of the follow ups brought back the flair and depth of the characters as players like me knew and loved their mercenaries. Unfinished Business was the last part I enjoyed.

It's what also killed M.A.X. back then.

This kind of games attracts a certain kind of players. This was understood for e.g. the XCOM series and while the game was streamlined it's still close to it's origins.

Things I enjoyed most:
* Audio (sound and voice was just awesome)
* tactical turn based with dices (like cover _may_ work)
* stealth/alarm mechanics
* unique characters and traits (they even sometimes didn't like each other xD)
* explore, upgrade and tinkering
* solid story

That's an awesome project bringing back one of the best games ever (IMHO) to life on Linux PC.

Did you know that JA2 featured a native Linux version back then already? It was ported by Tribsoft (afair the only title ever). Last time I checked it could still be played with some workarounds but Stracciatella is obviously the better choice today.

Shame what happened to this franchise. None of the following games cut it
