As new releases are a little light today, and I'm really rather tired it's question time. What has been your biggest let down from a Linux game this year?
Mine is a little controversial, as my personal pick is Dying Light. Now, if you remember from a previous review I liked the general gameplay, but I'm still completely stung by just how terrible the ending is. I can't remember a game that had me so annoyed at the ending it's unreal. It still crashes often too, and with so little communication about patches for it and future performance fixes it's still on my naughty list. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Several, but the biggest was probably Mad Max. It so abruptly just *poff* went silent and I was totally excpecting it to be released.

Biggest disappointment from the games I played: Xenonauts. I was really hyped about it, but in the end it failed to catch my interest. I went back to the original ufo in openxcom.

D : OS pretty much sums it up. There are others but DoS really just makes me sad.

Nothing for me really, other than ARK being so unoptimized.
These type of posts are what make this site my favorite website of all time.

All those "big" games (Mad Max, PayDay 2 etc) and I still want Battlefield 4 (or at least 5...(or whatever the next one will be called)) on Linux... :/

My biggest disappointment is that Linux marketshare still hasn't expanded by itself. We need to at least surpass Mac users in numbers, as desktop experience on Linux is getting really polished and at the same time, the hardware is much more accessible.

Armikrog..
I regret backing that game up.. :(
It was short, unpolished, buggy, and boring.. Nothing like Neverhood..

Hmm probably the lack of The Witcher 3. I was also pretty interested in Mad Max and Payday 2 and MM just disappeared and PD2 is delayed.

Quoting: JOndra91Armikrog..Me too. What a mess that game is. So much potential and it's just not fun and the game play is clunky as hell.

Glad this section has made a comeback!
It's quite a generalised one, but still let down by the gap in performance in some games between windows and linux. Thought maybe the gap with be narrower by now.

It is heart breaking to see a company push around people like the people at Divinity Original Sin have done.
That being said I really wanted Saints Row 4 to come out by now.

Rust.
Still won't run well for me at all, on any of my machines.
Edit: Also, improper Nvidia GTX 690 support and little assistance in the matter from nvidia.

Dying Light was one of the better games on linux in 2015.
I'll echo manyu others on Witcher 3, the gog people are certainly not on board the linux wagon yet.

I'm waiting on Carmageddon too, but my biggest disappointment was Godus; first with the promise of Linux on their non-Linux engine and then that the game sucked so hard in the end anyway (apparently)
I guess I'll have to keep waiting for a new Populus 3...

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionNot a game from this year but this is the first year I've tried on Linux: Dungeon Defenders. The mouse sensitivity is broken so you are forced to either in play bird's eye view or with a gamepad.
Dungeon Defenders is my eternal let down.
Quoting: loggeGiana Sisters Twisted Dreams
Sure, but with Giana Sisters I hope to get a working port some

In general I'd have to say "AAA Absence". The great flood of linux games still feels almost exclusively like "tiny indy projects".
Not that I dislike indy games but when it comes down to which games I really *want* to play, these small titles makes up (generously) 20-25% of those games I have any actual interest in.
IF... "The Witcher 3, Mad Max, and the upcoming Fallout 4" were all released for linux before the end of 2015, then the year might have "barely made the cut". I'm fairly certain this will not happen.
