Quoting: monkygamesMore gambling loot boxes. No thank you Volvo. You could have left this game off of Linux.

Initially I was going to say, 'well, it's a F2P game, so I don't see the--', but then I googled and discovered it's $20? What the hell, Valve? We know you're not short of cash, it seems rather greedy to double dip like that :/

If it runs at all with Proton it'll be a %100 improvement for me :B

Hmm, I debate getting Nidhogg. Played it before with the missus, and while I enjoyed it immensely, she became immensely annoyed with me XD (I mean, why would they give you a throw sword button if you're not supposed to use it? :P)

I'll probably wait for after EA, but I definitely can appreciate then intent. I remember being open mouthed when discussing homelessness with a co-worker who simply said "I'd just get a job until I could afford a place to stay." They eventually recanted after I pointed out how hard it would be to get and hold down a job without a reliable source of hygiene, transport, or even an address.

Said co-worker was actually a decent guy, but they were also quite privileged, which definitely affects your perspective. They ended up leaving that job altogether and got a place out of state and pursued a higher education, all on their parents dime. I'm happy their doing better now, but I'm also pretty jealous of such an opportunity :P

Quoting: ison111Is it wrong to say that I think it would be hilarious to get an actual homeless person to play this game and film their reaction?

A little? It would be a person in a horrible situation playing a horrible situation simulator. It would be like having a war refugee play This War of Mine; probably interesting, but I don't see much humor in it.

Only thing I have to say is "Oof".

Does seem like a cool dude, if not a bit anxious about public speaking :B What little I saw beforehand hadn't really impressed me, since it just looked like a re-skin of Sunless Sea. And I do have love for Sea, and it's great to see where that fantastic world building comes from, but as he says it became a slog and I just coudn't continue; which is a poor way to end a game you want to love.

So yay!

No more big circles around the map!
No more tiny log book entries!
No more stretches of empty sea! (though I wouldn't mind some little stretches)
Battles that don't devolve into backpedaling and firing in the enemies face!

This might turn out pretty good :)

At long last! After 57 hours of play I can finally end a playthrough without blowing up from the last teleport :P

I hope they do something with the traits and rewards, because I think it's too easy to rack up a bunch of chicken nuggets and buy all the things. I also think a lot of the smaller items get overshadowed too quickly in favor of getting the good stuff first. Maybe if they created challenges to complete to unlock items (e.g. Pickpocket every kind of NPC in a single run for the safe buster, blow up 100m of walls for the rocket launcher, etc.).

Good stuff :) You can't stop piracy, but you can preserve history for future generations; and not just the titles the publishers deem 'worthy' of a $60 remaster.

Curious about Observer, but I wasn't impressed with Layers of Fear. The "Turn around and something's happened" thing gets old after a couple hours :B

Quoting: GuestUntil the Linux/SteamOS icon is shown on a game, it has no official Linux support, you have no guarantee it will run, and you have no right to post negative reviews when it doesn't.

You'll still have a right to a refund on Steam, provided it's within 2 hours of game time; which should be enough time to test most games.
