I am not sure I like the game so much anymore. Way too much grinding for my taste. Simply finishing every mission once will not give you enough points to properly upgrade your characters, and you will very quickly be overwhelmed by enemies who have more health, armor, damage, and action points than your characters. So you have to repeat the missions for challenges like killing specific enemies in specific order, killing certain amount with a certain character, etc.

Oh, man... Both Witcher 2 and Bioshock Infinite are unplayable for me because of the input lag. It looks good and is smooth, but it feels like some sort of replay. I move a mouse, and it smoothly and accurately repeats my movements on screen, but after I have already finished the movement. I am not playing competitively, and do not care about milliseconds, but this here is ridiculous.

And why do they keep doing action games where this stuff is so important? Just makes me sad that publishers keep falling for this kind of stunt. Probably because it is cheaper than a native port.

My specs, just for fun: Intel Core i7-4702HQ CPU, NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU, 16GB RAM.

Me sad. :(

Playing this right now. I have completed about 1/3 of the game, and have not noticed any problems. Seems like a good quality port. The game itself is also not bad. The controls are well done. You can play with just a mouse, but it also has key bindings for most of the actions.

Hi, Kyrottimus. Very nice review. I was surprised about how your story is so similar to mine. It is really hard to find a good quality mouse that does not look like something out of transformers movie.

I ended up choosing Roccat Kone Pure. I am not using the additional functionality of the drivers all that much, but being able to quickly make the initial configuration via a program was actually quite convenient.

Quoting: KimyrielleI am actually surprised that the numbers aren't going up more noticeably compared to 1-2 years ago...

I think it is because what we are seeing right now is Linux users getting into gaming, and not gamers getting into Linux. Not yet.

So far the Steam version downloads nothing.

Quoting: LinasI was a skeptical when I heard that this is an eON port (is it, really?), but they must have done something right because it runs very well on high settings on my laptop with NVIDIA Quadro K1100M. Whereas Witcher 2 has (had?) horrible input lag, even on lowest settings, on the same machine.

I have to take that back. The input lag is not as bad as Witcher 2, but it is there. It seems that input lag is the "defining feature" of eON.

It is not available on Steam, even though it was indicated on Humble Bundle that it does. They updated the list of Steam platforms to exclude Linux now.
