It's question time today here on GOL, so sit down and come have a chat. Today I ask a very simple question: what game would literally blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?
I've asked myself this very same question and while it looks like a simple question, the truth is that it's actually quite difficult to narrow it down.
There's a fair amount of great games we don't have and that's probably a heavy understatement. There's a good 10-20 games I badly want on Linux and narrowing them down was a bit of a task.
I think my all time wish right now would be: Fallout New Vegas.
A game I actually own, as it's one of the left-overs from back when I was dual-booting. I can't bring myself to load up Windows to play it. My Windows hard drive doesn't even fit in my PC case, so it becomes a nuisance to actually load Windows any way now.
Why Fallout New Vegas? I've been a Fallout fan since a young age and I think I've actually played all of them now. I love the world, the style of it and the gameplay is engrossing as hell. It was my favourite of the series by far.

would quite possibly literary blow my mind. But also these have great mindblower potential:
#2: Fallout 4
#3: GTAV
#4: Dragon Age Inquisition
#5: Watch Dogs 2

Going to be a massive nerd and say Sims 2.
I played heavily modded sims 2 like you wouldn't believe. It's the game that kept me on windows dual booting for the longest. Sure I can play 3 and 4 on Linux but they're so different from 1 and 2 they barely seem to be the same series of games. I just want my tiny medieval villages where the whole world went away and left me and my sims alone when I didn't want them around. None of that neighbourhood or whole town when you scroll out business.

Doom (2016) is the only of the Doom games that I didn't played. Also I'll love to play GTA V on Linux.

Final Fantasy XV/Final Fantasy 7 remake and a porting of older Final Fantasy games that Wind*ws has received. I have been on a bit of a RPG kick lately. Maybe also the Tales of series. I would also like for Unreal Tournament to be in a working state on linux with the client complete as well. The lastest build with mesa 13.0.1 is full of graphical glitches, character models are rays of colored light the fill the screen when they are close, etc. It was working graphically on older build and older mesa some time ago, but performance was terrible.

Witcher 3 that is my hope and dream for Linux, but it does look slim sadly at the minute - just left waiting for WINE to catchup and make it playable!

DOOM 2016
It already supports Vulkan and games in the past with Denuvo (Deus Ex) were ported over. Let's make it happen Aspyr/Feral/Bethesda/ID! You have a guy there (Axel Gneiting) that would probably do it since he already has experience with Vulkan + Linux with vkQuake: https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake

Battlefield 1 would be really great.
But I think Blizzard would be making a Linux port before EA would.
If Blizzard decided to bring one of their games to Linux they might as well do them all. That would be truly mind blowing.
Fallout 4 or Fallout New Vegas would be really nice as well, but if Bethesda did that they might as well do the Elder Scrolls series of games also, primarily Skyrim but any others would be great also.

Blow my mind? Virtual Corporation. Because it's horrible, barely anybody knows it exists and even back when it was released, no one cared. It also never really worked properly.
So yeah, if someone ported it to Linux, that would blow my mind. Because why would anybody do that?

1-Rise of the Tomb Raider.
2-The entire COD franchise.
3-Bad Company 1 (never ported to Windows)...
4-The Farcry franchise
5-The Crysis franchise.
And any new AAA game...

Any of the Ubisoft game really. I feel (stress on this word here) that if at some given point in time Linux get enough momentum that it cannot be ignored anymore , Ubisoft will be the last one to take the plunge.
All of the other big players are wether you like it or not keeping an eye on what's going on if only for the sake of knowing where the wind blows.
But Ubisoft seems to me that even that surface level of checking out every once in a while is not even there at all .
So yeah it would blow my mind to be proven wrong byy Ubisoft and seeing one of their big release poping up on Linux as well...

Totally somewhere else... The already proposed games would all blow my mind but I'd say Lego games. This would make SteamOS/Steam Machine/Linux a great family Platform.

For me I could think of many but if I must narrow it down I would say the Mass Effect series. It is my favorite series and the first two are in my top 10 games of all time. I adore them. I even liked Mass Effect 3 minus the ending. I would also add an honorable mention to the Max Payne series and Fallout 3, New vegas and 4. Again if I must choose it would be Mass Effect all the way.

GTA V, or even GTA IV. That would be soooo neat! :-) Hell, having all the GTAs that are available for Mac (GTA III, VC and San Andreas) would also be sweet.
