No Surprise, Looks Like Dota 2 Reborn Will Be The First Source 2 Game With Vulkan

we got to have Vulkan drivers then though, and if the GoL Survey is any indication people want those in their bin-blob drivers.

Celestian Tales: Old North RPG Released For Linux, Some Thoughts
22 Aug 2015 at 8:44 am UTC

The game does have more annoyances, like the save system. It reminds me of Final Fantasy 7, as you can only save at specific points. I really, really hate these save systems with a passion. We have vast amounts of hard drive space, and games have been able to save wherever they please for years. Let me save whenever and wherever I want.
I doubt its done so save diskspace :) mostly this type of save option is chosen so people don't fight, save, fight, save, fight, save... but instead need to work through a portion of the game in 1 go making the penalty for failing a bit higher as more then just the last few minutes are at stake.

ps: know its not linux but if you enjoy your FF games try the Remastered FF-X, same saving system and amazing story :)

GOL Survey Results: June

Quoting: RCLPlease add the console question to the next polls as well. This may explain why people did not buy games on PC at all.
Witcher 3 on PS4, what more can I say, its using up all my time :)

LEGO Minifigures Online Released For Linux, Some Thoughts
3 Jul 2015 at 1:21 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdaweThe point is it's an MMO, it's supposed to have some sort of challenge to it.
Not sure how you came to that conclusion, Massive Multiplayer Online has nothing to do with challenge or not, there are plenty of MMO's where people just log in to do easy stuff and hang out with their virtual friends, talk about their day or what ever. Not every MMO has to be like good old EQ ;)

Anyways if you take a look at https://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews/lego-minifigures-online [External Link] you see the age group is around 10 years and kids learn Thinking & Reasoning & Collaboration

DiRT Showdown Looks Like It's Getting A Linux Release
1 Jul 2015 at 4:25 pm UTC

Quoting: supermonkey77As long as it runs at 60fps on midrange hardware (as all racing games should), I'm a happy camper.
at 640x480 with all settings on low I asume ?....... I agree on the 60fps part, the midrange hardware is a bit far fetched though

SOMA, The New Horror From Frictional Games Due In September Day-1 For Linux, New Trailer Too
29 May 2015 at 3:36 pm UTC

Getting a good system shock vs alien feel from it so far :)
Good that the PC thing got cleared up, but tbh I find myself getting more PS4 games and less Linux games the last few months (bloodborne, FF X remastered, Witcher 3), so not sure yet if its gone be a linux buy

Two Worlds II Action RPG Will Apparently Still Be Ported To Linux
10 May 2015 at 9:56 am UTC

Quoting: EikeThis is probably way too late to make any money, ain't it?
I've got a bit of fear that such late ports will hurt Linux sale reputation...

Star Trek Comes To Linux, Star Trek 25th Anniversary & Star Trek Judgement Rites On GOG
7 May 2015 at 4:53 pm UTC

Liam, I never used a .deb based OS.

Under openSUSE /opt is a root partition which normaly is not that huge if you stick with the default install (2gb /swap, 20gb / and rest /home) so I would not want my games on that, is this different under ubuntu ?

Secondly installing an RPM requires su rights, maybe I am to untrustworthy but I avoid using that for anything that is not from the signed repositories ?

Larian Studios Working On A New Game While Divinity: Original Sin Is Still Not On Linux
6 May 2015 at 3:57 pm UTC Likes: 1

It would be pretty bad practice of Larian to NOT be working on another title, they got a company to run.

I did help the KS and am pissed its taking so long, but to make such a big subject about it because they thinking about the future is a bit silly to say the least

Review: Broken Age On Linux
5 May 2015 at 1:48 pm UTC

Just finished it also, can agree almost fully with this review, well written and clear. Personally I hated the knot puzzle, I did understand it but
Spoiler, click me
describing a knot and those weird looking clues, was pure luck in the end for me
.

If I place it next to BouT2 which also came out this year then I personally had more fun with BouT2, puzzle wise and just laughing here behind the screen.
