Review: Bound By Flame on Linux

woow, people are so different.

it was one of the worst games i bought this year.. i refunded it even (i usualy dont refund games)

but this was just bad, performance was bad, voiceacting was just terrible, combat was dull, visuals looked dated for that performance, map was just corridor without any openess, default keyboard shorcuts were amazingly weird (i know some french setup but come on), the plot and story line didnt seem interesting (might be because of bad voiceacting)

Quoting: JarnoHave you guys tested if there any difference when you use
__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%
in launch options?
it already has that in the start script, no point enabling it twice

Doesnt run super well though. 1080p all maxed, at first the story missons are nicely 50+ FPS, when reaching to the town however fps in action around 30 fps.. with drops to even at 25... driving around 30-50fps, inside buildings 70+ fps.
now turning off AA makes it a lot smoother..doesnt help with overall framerate though.

Hatred, the controversial shooter now has a Linux beta

Gameplay is pretty boring.. destruction is nice like exactly 10 minutes and then its all boring.

A.I. seems to be bad. they sometimes stand next to you without doing anything. they get stuck in the doors and group up with others getting stuck somewhere in the corners.

black and white look with some colors like police sirens and fire are nice touch though.

driving with a car is utterly sluggish, it turns so fast and due the camera perspective its hard to master.

so what you do in this game? you just kill, kill and kill and then listen to some weird/boring monologue from the antagonist. basically he hates the world and blabla wants to kill everybody.. and you just do it..thats it

so all in all.. i think leaving the controversy aside, its a pretty boring game - i wouldnt recommend it with that price tag.
maybe 75% off is worth.

about performance.. it was 20-40fps only (no matter if medium or ultra settings) . enabled GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS and the perf doubled.. 40-60... pretty good

Quoting: TobiSGDAs TheBoss said, don't pay too much attention to the benchmarks, the game runs just fine with medium settings + 4xMSAA on my Phenom II X6 1055T and GTX760, even when playing a video on a second monitor while playing, though the benchmark results are pretty low (going down to 25FPS minimum).
Nice one.
Thanks Codemasters!!
Thanks Feral!!

Now, if we also can get Dirt Rally ...
i second the dirt rally part :D MAKE IT HAPPEN!
