It seems Total War is selling well for them!

:(
I'm definitely a Feral supporter so it pains me to say so but this will be the first Feral-release I will skip.

I'll make up for it by buying the next one at full price. :)

I'm glad I waited until this gets ported before I bought it. i've been wanting to play Shogun 2 for quite awhile now. this is going to be an instant buy for me.

Ooh, I have this one (though not the expansion so will throw money Feral's way for that). Defginately one of my favourite Total War entries.

Its a shame that cross platform multiplayer will exclude Windows; I feel this is a ongoing problem with ports that has 2 effects.

1. Some people just wont buy the port with this limitation.
2. People who could be swayed over to Linux from windows will see this and view it as areason not too as they would miss playing with their firends on windows.


Not entirely Ferals fault here as it would require change of network/multiplayer code on windows as well, and way beyond my abilities!

Quoting: GuestAny word on Vulkan?

Nope, all we have is the announcement. Very doubtful for such an old title though, doubt it would be worth it.

Quoting: tuubiIt's nice that they didn't forget us. I haven't played a decent traditional JRPG in ages.

Haven't played many JRPGs at all actually (unless Septerra Core counts)
May give this one a look.

You know , even if this isn;t so good I am glad it exists.

Why ?

Too often in our medium , we loose games. Some hardware can be emulated but for online games once the servers go down , that's it goodbye forever. Nobody will buy the IP or continue supporting it.
Even if kept alive for the few fans left or as an example in gaming history , I am glad the game lives on.

Quoting: EhvisThe highest number of replies I've seen to such threads is about 200. Most are a few dozen. From a business point of view, about as unimpressive as it gets.

Of course, they need to take into account that only a small portion of people who would buy it are actually posting in (or even now of) such a thread.

Quoting: TiedemannI really like this game. It's a lot of fun.

Don't really care for MP on this as there's lots of other games with that and ppl are usually not playing the objective anyway.

there are not a lot of other games like this with mp

YUP
Fully agree.
If Linux/Windows cross MP works I will buy this for me and my mates. :)

EDIT:
I also stipulate I need to be able to play with my windows firends vs bots.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: KeyrockGreat to see, even if RTS isn't exactly in my wheelhouse.

Yeah. I love the idea of RTS games, but I'm rather terrible at them, so they're not much fun to play. Turn-based strategy is more my thing.

Have you tried any of the Paradox ones ? The allow you to slow down time or pause outright.

So, which is hardest? Making multiplayer or AI that feels like it's like multiplayer?

Quoting: lucifertdarkThey're seriously prioritising the WiiU version? Why?

WiiU has a bigger market share then Linux :(

WiiU has sold ~14 Million Units and at the moment we have currently only ~2 Million Linux Players on Steam.

Probably because they expect their JRPG to sell better on a Japanese console platform, even if it's not the most popular one.

Looks interesting, definately like this sort of game. Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against Maia as that is a very similar concept.

Appreciate the info Liam. As a Radeon user, Mesa is very important to me.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLMaybe this developer (one of few) collect Linux request and in next he asking about permission his boss or ask about this game publisher.

But that's the whole trick.

Quoting: EhvisThey won't ever get enough responses in those threads for a "boss" or "publisher" to even consider it.

The maybe, interest is low. And not many copies would be sold.

I tried this awhile back as well, the whole idea of it seemed fun. the graphics are a bit old, somewhere around the 2001 to 2004 era graphics style. that didn't really bother me though. I liked it for the nostalgia of an older mmo.

but it is very clunky to figure out how to get things to work. a lot of left and right clicking things. It requires an incredible amount of patience to figure out. for anyone that doesn't have a load of time on their hands to simply set around and figure out all the things it can be very annoying.

although I was nicely surprised how most everything ran and It didn't crash at all. I didn't try the multiplayer though.

not a bad game, but not that great either.

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: SeegrasI actually know casual gamers on Linux that refuse to use steam. They only buy software from humblebundle, gog, itch and so on.

If you look at that way , there are many (posssibly much more than Linux) Windows users who are pirating games or buying drm-free games. That is not a valid reasoning.

Also , are you sure that your friends are 'buying' drm-free games ; right?

Of course, you're right in respect of the percentages.

But also: Ever seen illegal copies of Linux games floating around? Yes there are, but they're far and few between, so yes, they are BUYING them.

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: PublicNuisanceAlthough even with AMDGPU Pro drivers my RX480 had about 20 FPS on low so not like Mesa could have been much worse.

Wow, that's quite bad. I was planning to get myself an RX580, but with this performance level, even a modest NVIDIA card would beat it.

Is it as bad with all the games? Would it be possible to run something like Mankind Divided on AMD graphics?

I think it is. I am able to play DE: Mankind Divided on 4K, almost everything maxed out on my Fury X (with latest stable mesa) with around 30fps. It sometimes drops below, but I am also taxing it quite much :D Right now I don't have it installed, so I can't test performance on 1080p resolution. Also I don't really like the game, but that's another story...
Also Hitman I can play at 4K resolution on everything maxed out with framerates between 30 and 60 fps. Same goes for Mad Max, where it very rarely drops below 45 fps and generally stays around 60 fps at 4k and everything maxed out.

My experience with mesa has certainly been good as of late, and while there still is some hickups here and there, it still is a very nice experience.

I like very much what I'm seeing, but then, I read "rogue-like"... :-/
May I have Amnesia-like instead?!?

I want this. Rather sooner than later. Glad it will be coming to Linux (it's paradox afterall, and they have a history of succeeding with their ports).

That is a game I could really love.

I have an RX480 (with MESA) and it works really well with games like Tomb Raider, Dirt Rally or Payday 2. There are plenty of benchmarks on Phoronix for you to check if you want to get reassured ;)

Played the first a lot so I guess I'll buy it just because Linux.

We lack a squad(team up with buddies then join a server. As opposed to joining a server and hoping you can play on the same side) based shooter, this would be the perfect candidate...
