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: Mountain ManYou what would be genuinely mind-blowing? Anything from Microsoft Studios.

Bayonetta 1 and 2

That would be out of left field, but awesome as all hell.

That game does not exist for me. :-)

I would like to see:
-HL3, I'm not the first I know but I has to be done!
-Tomb Raider series
-Halo series (very unrealistic)
-all other good games from the last 71 years of computer gaming

Starcraft II

14 pages in and only 4 people have mentioned Half Life 3. Having that released as a linux exclusive for a week or two would be about the only thing that would blow my mind.

I think the Witcher 3 would be the most important port of an existing title.

I personally am sad that there are no ports for Path of Exile and Guild Wars 2.

Witcher 3
Dawn of War III
Subnautica

Full VR support :)

Both the new Doom and Thief as well as Dishonored 2 (or even the first one). I might be able to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided right now, but that does not mean I could not spend the same amount of time in Dishonored2!

Pokemon, Zelda and Mario.

Semi-realistic, Final Fantasy, and kingdom hearts.

1) Skyrim > DRM-Free, on GOG, with a Vulkan renderer.
2) Witcher 3
3) Guild Wars 2 - Been playing since GW1 (2005) and now that they're developing a native Mac client, they might as well do a Linux one, game would run better anyway since Linux is not limited to crappy laptops and overpriced desktops.

Oh, crap, I could go on forever. I can't limit it to one!

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Everything I could think of was brought up by others:
Oblivion
GTA V (or anything from Rockstar. *cough* Max Payne 3)
WoW
Doom (Anything from Bethesda really)

Also forgot Diablo III...or anything from Blizzard. Gotta start somewhere.

The Witness and Doom 2016.

Dirt Rally !
I already own Dirt Showdown and Race Driver Grid but I miss a real rally game.
morbius Dec 1, 2016
Anything by Blizzard or Ubisoft. That would signal we're finally serious game platform.

Privately, I'd like Titanfall 2.
Nyamiou Dec 1, 2016
Overwatch, MSG V, GTA V, Call of Duty, Battlefield. I don't care much about those games, but them being released on Linux would really be a big event.
leillo1975 Dec 1, 2016
Fallout 4 or GTA V. I'm tired of restart my computer to play them in Window$

Dirt Rally, because I miss a good rally game and don't want to use wine with Dirt 3 anymore.
