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.

Quoting: Al3sQuoting: PangachatMass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age trilogy, Dark Souls trilogy, Destiny. If this happens, my next ten year is done ;)
I'm surprised I had to look at 8 pages before someone whising for the Dark Souls saga. I haven't played 3 yet and I'm like 85% in 2 and they are one of the few games for wich I still reboot on Windows sometimes. Also japanese developers, I would be very surprised if they cared one bit about Linux, maybe I'm wrong.
On topic, I would love to have most of the AAA games other people mentioned on Linux, but what would totally blown my mind would be EA games on Linux. I simply don't see them making the effort at all.
I don't know... Game Devs have something in common with hackers and crackers: Their gigantic ego.
If we insist that EA games are not available for linux just because their Devs don't have the brain for that, maybe the Devs will accept the challenge and they will port their games ad-honorem just for to prove that they can do it...
EA will not complain if their Devs do the porting work for free.

I can't name just one, so here goes:
The Batman Arkham series
Anything from Blizzard (but especially Diablo 3)
Anything from Bethesda (I'd like to play Skyrim again)
Anything from Rockstar
Dragon Age: Origins (the last great BioWare game before they were swallowed by EA)
Guild Wars 2 (I still play in Wine, but performance is terrible)

Actually blowing my mind would be GTA6 or RDR2. Not so much because of game hype, but more of what it means to Linux gaming in general.

witcher 3 as well here please. Also dream about battlefield 1, sfv, dirt, pes. Tournament games like lol or overwatch esspecially if they could perform even better on Linux would be a blast!

Batman: Arkham Knight.
In all seriousness, however, I'd be really happy if any of the big open world games were put onto Linux, be it a Bethesda-developed game(any of them would be nice, but I'd mostly want Skyrim) or The Witcher 3. I'd also like to see the Dark Souls games on Linux.
Also, Warframe, since I'm addicted to that game and it's the main reason I even boot into Windows at this point(I've tried to get it working in Wine, but the launcher never wanted to work properly).

It would blow my mind if out of nowhere EA and Bethesda announced support for Linux.
That would mean: From EA - Need for Speed, Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2
From Bethesda: Fallout 4, Skyrim SE and DOOM
