Preorders or Kickstarter are almost the same to me....

Pre-Order = You see an AAA that would arrive on Linux after 1 year , you pre-order it and after two moth Linux support is out :(

KickStarter = You backup a project on Kickstarter because it looks promising and is on Linux and at the end they fail to deliver the project for Linux in time or not at all. :(

So how you want me to react as a Linux user??? :><:

If I dont pre-order a game developers will say , meh we had 100000 preorders from Winx Users and 10 from Linux so lets drop Linux - who cares about Linux and the same goes with Kickstarter.....

On the other hand I could just say $%#%$#% you , pirate their games or at least get cheap steam keys and who cares....

A lot of developers promised to bring their games to Linux from preorder or kickstarter but at the end nothing!
That made a lot of Linux users to doubt about developers reliability.

so if its not out don't buy it sometimes it maybe wrong.... some developers consider pre-orders a significant part for there internements.
I could say that is better to backup/support and buy/preorder/kickstarter the products of a list of developers who brought their games already to Linux and didnt break their promises.

For Example XCOM2 you think their is a chance to drop Linux support if I preorder the game ?

Anyway usually I do whatever I feel like , if something is really worth it, I may invest Iike 50$ or more on kickstarter or on preorders....

Some people categorized SOMA as a walking simulator :D

Well lets say that the few hours are like that , walking and exploring...
Also they have said that the estimate gameplay is like 7-9 hours so I assume and hope that SOMA will get more intense later...

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: aristoriasWhat does nvidia do?

They deliver the hardware and drivers that enabled me to play on Linux and dump my Windows.

I was an ATI HardCore fan, all my computers had ATI cards on ex-windows + Linux.

I also had a brand new ATI for my Linux Machine and sold it for half price in order to get a new GTX 980 for obvious reasons.
All these catalyst drivers and the graphics performance were a total mess.

I just want my OS/Hardware to work to its maximum performance.

if ATI can give me what I want then I will support them otherwise they have to get their asses together and fix their drivers.

I was trying yesterday to install ATI Drivers to one of my clients, an ATI Driver on a Hybrid Intel/AMD Windows 7 Machine. Even with AUTO utility that diagnoses the driver and install them automatically,It took me around 1h to install the driver and at the end I had to do a system restore back to original driver because nothing was working properly.

Also ATI/Intel Hybrid is simply impossible to install it on a Linux Machine , I have tried and failed many times but with an NVIDA Hybrid is working fine.

I dont really understand how this patron funding works...

I am a bit confused and I consider this a bad strategy to gain funding.

Lets say I pledge 10$ per month...

It doesnt have any eta when both games will finish

so what if the project will take 1 year to finish?

10$x 12 = 120$ for 2 indie games ? :|

I dont know the value of the games but usually games like these are estimated max 10-15$.
I would prefer an option like Pay $$ -ONCE-to get both games

I find it very hard to fund developers these days due to some developers failing to deliver what they have promised. So at the end of the day I am like "First deliver your product , lets see what you have done , is your game REALLY worth the $$$ you are asking for ? Yes ? = Buy it

Good luck on your project..

To be honest I am quite enjoying this game :D

The graphics and Landscapes are gorgeous ....

At start It looks weird because enemies starship fire left or right or diagonal but not straight on you ....
So you are like WTF????? stupid stupid game!!!

The AI that this game using is .,...... ehhm.... how can I describe that ... lets say like a "Fire Pattern AI"??
(yea like the old arcade games.)

Lots of enemies fire bullets not direct to you in a single or complicate pattern and your job is to survive this wave of enemies. Well your purpose is to find the blind spots in order to survive. :P
There are some patterns that are extremely hard and some others you just stay in a spot and just shoot but I guarantee that you will die many times.

Even if you die you will have to play again the same pattern the enemies and fire will come exactly the same way as it was before.

if you have played any old arcade games you will understand the feeling and game play
