Quoting: m0nt3Meh. Was really hoping for something different.

really? the main problem with DoW3 has been that it's so different ...aka its not the "DoW1 or DoW2 remake" that the fan group wanted, but we got "yet" another new RTS gameplay style which is really just a mix of both + some borrowed elements of other games.

I have never played a Total War or Dawn of War game. Just don't really have an interest. It seems we have been getting a lot of these games/genre lately. Still hoping to see shadow of war or rise of the tomb raider.

fair enough you dont care/like about RTS, but you have to keep in mind that RTS and mmo(rpg/fps) are popular on PC when those games you mentioned are more popular on consoles than on PC...I do also like to see other games, like I would love to see NieR : Automata on linux...I already have it on my PS4pro..and I love it :D

I've put in an hour or so into the game and am really liking the calm yet challenging nature of this game. The three-year-old also enjoys this game as well.

Do you play it only with keyboard?

I can't play it with my xbox controller on Debian. The character is constantly moving to the right of the screen and the menu "Go to map" pops up randomly during the game, as if the "start" key was assigned to another button.

I have played this more now. I am on a Steam Controller.

I do have that "start" key problem, it seems associated to gliding, flying and going to the left.
Also, twice now the right haptic control seems to shake back and forth. Fun game, but those two bugs have become annoying. The worst part is when the start key problem happens and I am pressing left and flying, which causes me to exit the current map (start all over on that map).

I plan to buy this within the next couple weeks. Reminds me of my early DOS gaming days. Good to know it's doing well as it looks like a lot of love went into it.

As soon as it gets out I will instantly buy it. Loved Dawn of War II and both expansions!

Quoting: zimplex1I hope it comes to Linux, but this looks like the worst Dawn of War game ever so I won't let this atrocity touch my hard drive.

if you are talking about those over negative comments/reviews on metacritc or steam, you have to keep in mind that this happen to DoW2 also because it was so different from DoW1 and CoH2 got A LOT of negative reviews in metacritic from russians

anyway most of the negative comments have been that its not the DoW1 or DoW 2 remake what they wanted...and/or because it has some MOBA, Starcraft and Warcraft 3 elements and that means it's exactly like those games gameplay style...with that logic DoW2 is way more MOBA than DoW3.

what DoW3 really is, it's a combination of the previous games and with some borrowed elements of other games to enhance experiense, some will like them or not...you can't please everyone.

another negative comment has been about the graphics that they are too "cartoony" and the animation aren't that great..
I personally don't really see this, okay maybe some areas of the maps...maybe little bit.
What Relic wanted to make DoW3 to look more closer to the table-top's figurines...thats why it's more colorful and that doesn't make it cartoony. DoW2 (and 1) was also "cartoony" just more darker...also if u check 40k art style there is some that are really colorful and some are darker, if you prefer the darker style that's fine, it doesn't make this any more wrong/bad.

anyway, is this game perfect? oh god NO but the core elements are good, the only problem I have with it is that there is only 3 factions and little bit to few MP maps and 1 game mode.

some of these things were postponed and will arrive later (unfortunately), but the biggest question is that how (and when) will these arrive....the good thing is that there is MOD support and there is already few maps made, and at least on CoH2 Relic did add the most popular ones to the game

so I would give this game a 7 or 8 in its current state...and as Relic has been working a lot with the community before to fix stuff in CoH2 I do think DoW3 has good future, plus the game seems to run way better than CoH2 or DoW2...thank god.

Quoting: razing32I think I am playing on normal but not sure.
Have not played in over a week as all the characters I have make things confusing at this point :(

I gave all (transferrable) items to one person to have a better overview. But if you find it too confusing and not enjoyable, better play it on easy mode than not at all. You would have to start from beginning, though, difficulty is not changeable later on.

Spoiler, click me

There's a ghost in there that messes with the controls preventing you to get to the penthouse until you get her something.

Not in the easy mode to the very best of my knowledge (which is: I played it today).

Ahhh , my mistake then.

Cool , would look forward to it.
Did drool over the steam page a bit.
If it does get ported will wait for release and see if it is good or if it is rushed and needs some patching to live up to expectations.

instant buy from me as well if true.
I already have DoW2 from when I still dual-booted for gaming...

I hope it happens, I also hope the game gets fixed up by that time as many reviews indicate that DoW3 was a rush job. I mean, the game doesn't even have key rebinding. That's completely inexcusable in a RTS.

Quoting: saildataDo you plan on moving to Gnome when Ubuntu proper switches over, or are you sticking with Cinnamon?

EDIT: Sorry! I looked up and saw your comment -- didn't realize it was 2 months old : / I'll double check next time!

No problem! I was a bit surprised to see someone quoting my 2 month old comment :D

So far I'm going to stick with Ubuntu 16.04 with Cinnamon. Every now and then I'm thinking of moving permanently to Mint but as far as I know games are mostly optimized to run on Ubuntu. I'm not sure if all the games I have would run as well on Mint as they do on Ubuntu (or would they run at all?!). Hence the Ubuntu + Cinnamon combination of mine. Works great on Dirt Rally ;)

I was finally smitten by this fun experience this morning when trying to play Dirt Rally. I will hold out another week or so before I taint my system with workarounds that I'll forget I implemented.

Quoting: GuestSecond old phone?!? [...]

Stop constructing fictional scenarios that don't exist and claim them to be the reason Dota 2 will be financially unseccessful because of a declining playerbase. It won't.

Quoting: GuestYou want to talk about security?

No.

Quoting: GuestYou know you can do something without the need of phone numbers and phone application? [...]

Doesn't matter what alternatives would be possible, beacuse Valve already has great security measures in place.

Quoting: GuestYou know that giving people free skins is making them stay despite the fact that the community is not great despite the fact that the games are often one sided?

You seem to be one of those "gg"-spammers after 10mins when it seems to you the game is impossible to win, although it's not. Of course it's always the other's fault you're losing, never your own. Games are rarely one-sided all the way through. Furthermore is winning not the requirement for a game to be good or fun.


Rest is just unintelligible gibberish or offtopic.

QuoteIt will be really nice to have Galaxy on Linux, as I really personally hate keeping track of each individual download. I do have a number of games from GOG installed and going through them one by one to see if they need an update is not something I have time to do.

I'm sure you know this, but there is an open source GOG client for Linux. It's lgogdownloader. It's a CLI downloader for GOG games. Personally, galaxy or not, I'll prefer this. I can run it on my headless file server to download updated versions of my games without having to add bloat to my gaming machine. I don't really have a need for all the other "features" clients like steam or galaxy offer. I just want to download/update the game and this does it.

I'll admit, lgogdownloader isn't perfect, but it is simple, lightweight, and honestly, probably more useful to me than a client like galaxy. Note if only there was a steam variant, lol.

Edit: typos, typing on a phone is horrible! How do you do it!

This is awesome, was wondering if someone had done something like that. Looks like it just downloads, is it feasible to script an install too? This could make me start favoring GoG again, I completely agree that even more important than a Galaxy client is if tools like these are possible.

Quoting: NanobangThis looks like one of those games I'll be buying on principle, which is good, as I haven't found the notion of a point-and-click anything to be attractive, and this may as well be my entry into the genre. I'll be supporting Linux and and a good game and an enlightened developer in one go.

It's a very special point and click, though, with an interface from the nineties. And if you want to give point and click a try and don't mind the nineties' interface, my first bet would be Day of the Tentacle remastered.

*edit* I don't want to stop you from buying and playing it, though! :)

Quoting: crabelI recommend to play the game on easy mode first. The riddles are far easier and you know later in the hard mode, what you need to generally do. In hard mode, it is very easy to get lost with the many options, people and places. Finishing the game in easy mode first gives you a general impression what you need to do next.

I played hard mode first and was surprised how much is missing (even several places) in easy mode. I don't think the puzzles are too hard (as you said, not as hard as back in the times) and some things even make no sense in easy mode.

Spoiler, click me

Like when you're reaching penthouse in the hotel, the man there says that the lady in the elevator (forgot their name) didn't do her work correctly - when there's no lady in the elevator in the first place.

Uhm , there is actually.
