This game is crazy hard!

If you didn't Kickstart it and want it now, just get it from Humble.

I'm on this as soon as they put controller support in.

Well, maybe not as soon as, I've got a lot on my plate already.

I'm on this as soon as they put controller support in and it gets a decent discount.

Looks very cool! Oh, these are the guys who made Heroes Call for mobile devices.

One thing to note is that they claimed two of their games (Heroes Call being one of them) would be released for Ouya at launch. Ouya has been out for some time now, and I just checked the list of released games and neither game is on the list. Hopefully for the eight users who still play their Ouyas, they eventually make good on that promise. I mean, it really can't be THAT hard; Ouya is Android, they already have the game released for other Android devices, spend a couple minutes to add whatever bit of code is needed...

It just makes me wonder, will the Linux version be available in a timely fashion? I can't, in good faith, Kickstart the project but I'll definitely take note if I ever see it pop up somewhere for Linux.

Looks cool... Reminds me of Patapon in some small way, but obviously very different games.

I wonder if the Capsized pre-order bonus is giftable, since I already own it.

Quoting: It's common knowledge, alright. The last ATI card I bought was in 2001, they sucked then no matter what OS I used, and there's no surprise they still suck on Linux today.It's common knowledge, so everyone know this and avoids buying AMD GPUs, right? Or are you telling me people commonly, knowingly, buy random shitty gear from AMD?

I guess I should have included "or well-known companies commonly known to make shitty gear" in my post.

Actually you wrong. AMD are improving the Linux driver but very slowly. It is getting there. I guess you have brought overpriced ripoff nvidia card just because you couldn't wait for better driver ;) 

I've been using Linux exclusively since 2002. You really think I should have fought with ATI/AMD junk for OVER ELEVEN YEARS? Give your head a shake, seriously.
You get what you pay for.

Quoting: Quote from stanI’m astonished that the vast majority of games on steam don’t have demos. I suppose most people don’t have the problems I have with games.

I agree with you, there should be more demos. Or, more Linux demos specifically - there seem to be many more Windows demos out there, likely due to the minuscule Liunx market, where (depending on many factors) it's often not even worth porting in the first place, let alone potentially losing a sale due to a bad demo (which historically has been proven to be the case, and I can vouch for that in my own first-hand purchase decisions).

Nevertheless, I think we'll see the demo situation change with SteamOS/Machines.

These guys are making rapid progress, and that's awesome! I look forward to the day when I can play an Elder Scrolls game as God intended - natively, on Linux.

I don't know if they need more testers still, but I applied. I think it looks kinda cool.

I think I played this at school on the Unisys ICON in 1987.

Quoting: Quote from Half-ShotEveryone has their reasons why they can't "switch" to Linux but one of the more prominent ones is that Linux isn't getting you as much value for money for your hardware.

Uh, what?

I switched to Linux in 2002, and haven't looked back. I had no valid reason to keep Windows around. And in the decade+ since then, I have squeezed FAR more life out of my hardware by running Linux than Windows ever could have given. I only upgraded minimally, typically due to failure (one motherboard, two HDDs) or simply want (more HDD space, or more RAM).

I haven't had an issue with printers or scanners I've bought over the years from Epson, Agfa, or HP. I have a Wacom tablet that I use from time to time. Canon Rebel DSLR camera. Logitech gamepad and Harmony programmable universal remote. All work fine out of the box, plug-n-play, outside of [easily] installing a program to actually use a few devices (like SimpleScan, DarkTable, or Congruity). That's FAR better "value" to me, considering how much of my own time I used to waste trying to get devices working, drivers and bloatware, rebooting, etc. on Windows. All the hardware I've got works just fine, but then again, I don't go around buying random shitty gear that I really don't need from obscure companies nobody's ever heard of.

Sounds to me like people make up excuses and waste their money on low-quality trash, which in turns forces them to stick with likewise for their operating system.

It's common knowledge that AMD's cards are crappy on Linux. I have a friend that tried to switch to Linux, but all his games were running with sub-par framerates and had frequent FPS drops. This has also been verified on comparative benchmarks between Linux and Windows drivers. Luckily Nvidia doesn't have these issues anymore and performance is nearly identical on both systems.

It's common knowledge, alright. The last ATI card I bought was in 2001, they sucked then no matter what OS I used, and there's no surprise they still suck on Linux today.
