Adventure game Syberia 3 looks like it will be heading over to Linux

Wow, that is a surprise, I played the original many years ago, but I didn't know the franchise was still going.

That is a rather strange game to encumber with drm like Denuvo, it's not like the masses of pirating teenagers will throw themselves at a point and click.

I enjoyed both previous Syberia games very much, so looking forward to this... once it's out on Linux and fixed up a little.

Yes, the developer got it on Steam like one year ago and abandoned it shortly afterwards without giving any explanation he did and without explaining why after people found out about it. Maybe it would be time to clone his Git repo and start implementing missing features.

From what I heard, it is a "meh" game with bad "consolized" controls. No Linux version. DRM (and what a DRM that is!). Steam-only.

Finished the first game in the series. Liked it. Played the second one. Got bored, dropped. Probably won't bother with the third one if it actually gets its release on Linux.

I guess they will get rid of Denuvo altogether - it proved out Denuvo is really easy to crack on Unity games, so it was cracked on 3rd day by an actual "SomeRandomAntiDenuvoGuy". Supposedly, this reduced game loading time by a whooping 40 seconds, so it was yet another issue of DRM hurting game for legitimate users.

Will that also include a port of Denuvo?

Looks good to me!

I do hope the battlescape isn't too restrictive like the modern XCOM games, the original system of TUs and free fire gave you much more freedom -- from destroying walls and hedges to create alternate routes, to choosing when and where to take your shots, to saving some TUs for the chance of getting reactionary shots.

I hope the geoscape is similar to the originals too.

I will buy it as long as it doesn't have a Linux version of Denuvo.

The first two games were really good, I would definitely buy the 3rd if it came out for Linux, point and click Broken Sword type games are one of my favourite genres, I'd buy it regardless of some negative reviews.

This was a day one buy until I saw extra BS DRM they are using on the Windows version. I'll get it and play on Linux if it comes out.

doesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest

Sorry. ;)
I explained what I meant with my previous English comment.
An EU law prohibits from removing a software licence when you bought (or got gifted) software, be it digital or on disc (if it has not been explicitly only been rented).
Corporations seem to have a hard time accepting that they can't just override laws willy-nilly with their idiotic EULAs.

Quoting: razing32I actually like this. Rather than have sequels that are just clones of the originals you get a game supported with more content. If that's not your cup of tea , you can always play vanilla and uninstall I guess.

Not all games are suitable for endless gameplay, but the ones that are, I want to play for ages. There is not much reason to provide content updates for these "15 hours and done" shooters, but Stardew Valley is a game with near endless replay potential. And in these cases I appreciate developers making updates and DLC for them.

Das stimmt nicht. Das hätte die Verkäufer zwar oft gerne so, aber die EU-Richtlinie verbietet es.

Mein Englisch ist so schlecht und Google Translator macht es nicht besser.

Quoting: EikeHe wanted to express that he considers posession of a game at Steam no posession.
At least in my country, the acquiring of software cannot be reversed by the seller/gifter, so I consider this posession.

And the whole now in German, please.

Öhm, ist mein Englisch so schlecht oder deins? :)

"throgh" wollte uns sagen, dass es für ihn kein Besitz ist, wenn man ein Spiel bei Steam hat.
Nach EU-Richtlinie ist es das aber. Wenn man eine Software rechtmäßig erworben hat - für welchen Preis auch immer - (und es sich nicht ausdrücklich um ein Mieten handelt), dann darf man es laufen lassen und man darf auch nicht daran gehindert werden.

Quoting: throghTo be honest: The game itself is not free available! There is just nothing to pay for renting another entry within the account, which itself is also not the own property. Valve is just so "kind" giving a defined amount of space on their servers, including the database.

You are to late, the offer is over.
