It's always amazing how much work goes into this game. Hopefully the new graphics and menus lower the "barrier for entry" sufficiently for some people who were previously reluctant to play DF; but I also hope the ASCII mode works just as well and that the menus can still be driven by keyboard (or DF classic continues to be updated to keep feature parity with the Steam version). Not sure if they've decided on a price yet, but after playing DF for ~15 years already, it'll be worth the cost no matter what price they put on it.

QuoteCareful, they sense vibrations and can smell you.

Crap, I guess I need to rethink my baked beans and brussels sprouts diet.

Quoting: pete910I have to ask, How are people comparing the verified games to their library? Or am I being thick

XCOM1 is a more relaxed game. XCOM2 is more 'race against the clock' from the outset.

Quoting: morgancoxukJust bought it - I spent many many hr's on the Amiga (AGA) version in the mid 90's, however it compares to that i'm sure it will be worth £2.10...

Personally, I don't think it does compare to the original UFO: Enemy Unknown -- they're two very different beasts. But that doesn't mean that the modern XCOM games aren't great games in their own right. I recommend OpenXcom for replaying the original.

Quoting: Liam DaweThat issue is now fixed. Somehow the cron got mixed up, and there we two entries for November. I've adjusted one to be October, as it was right at the start of November (so it should have been October's data). All looking good now.

I think it's happened again with January's data showing as February.

Oh dear, I hope that it not working on Linux isn't a sign that they're planning a proton-by-default policy for the Deck, even if there's a native Linux version available. It'll hardly encourage devs to release native versions of games 'for more control' if that's the case.

Meh. I'm pretty sure Activision Blizzard never released anything on Linux, so this news makes no odds to me.
