Sunday Section: What Was Your Biggest Linux Gaming Letdown So Far This Year?
2 November 2015 at 3:33 pm UTC

Quoting: Comandante oardoWell.. for me, Batman: Arkham Knight.. I remember It was announced for Steam Os /linux for Fall 2015 (That will be now)... And nothing happened... AND NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER DELAY!!! :><:

I'm assuming by now you've heard the news that not only is the PC (and I mean all PC platforms) Arkham Knight not going to be fixed, but they're offering refunds via Steam regardless of play time. So the delay may have actually done you a favour, saving you money on a white elephant.

I think for me it's the continued absence of Kentucky Route Zero Chapter Four, and the dawning realization that by now it's basically vapourware. Plus Divinity: Original Sin of course.

Oh, and Endless Legend giving up on their Linux port was a pretty big disappointment too. As was the idea of a port for Life Is Strange being stopped in its tracks by a poor choice of middleware (leavened by the devs saing they'll be more careful about on their next game, since they seem to really want to port their stuff).

City Builder 'Banished' May See A Linux Release Soon

The Steam version barely works for me through Wine, so it'll be wonderful to actually play the game. Good timing too, almost exactly a year after I received it as a Christmas present.

The Latest Humble Weekly Bundle Is Pretty Damn Good

Quoting: Storminator16Note: once you activate Hack n' Slash you will also receive a gift copy of Spacebase DF9. You may get a popup about a guest pass but it's actually the full game for you to keep.

This did not happen for me. But I got it on a previous sale a month or two ago.

A bit of research suggests that it's the other way around, if you purchase DF9 they'll give you HnS.

Quoting: melkemindWow, I had Escape Goat 2 in my Steam cart last night and fell asleep before I could checkout. I'm glad I did now!

Escape Goat 2 is fantastic, you'll be happy to get it in the bundle.

My problem is that the only games I want and don't already have are Massive Chalice and Lumino City, and the latter isn't a Linux game. So I don't know if $13 for MC is really worth the trouble, since it'll probably go down at least that far when the Steam winter sale happens.

I hear Hack 'n' Slash has a hell of a difficulty spike at the half-way point, anyone know if that's true?

Quoting: Pangachat4K UHD Edition Coming in 2018 Holiday Season Day one Linux Release!
We Promise!

Liaran Studios.

Barring any serious unforseen circumstances, of course. Like having a bad weekend or feeling a bit down one day. That could push porting back by a year or two.

Sweet! DQ is my favourite tower defense game, looking forward to playing it again. DQ2 is looking good, apparently it's planned for release the end of the year.

Just confirming, that's 3:30PM EST?

Edit: Oh wait, it's EDT right now in Ontario, isn't it? So that means a 4 hour difference, meaning it's...wait...still 3:30? I'M SO CONFUSED!!

Last Dream RPG now available for Linux

That first screenshot isn't just reminiscent of the earlier Final Fantasy games, it's almost the same background as the forest battles in Final Fantasy VI. Slight differences, but it's awfully close all the same.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut Released, Looking Good For Linux

Like Keyrock, I only had one crash, and that was on autoloading a previous save after my squad died, on account of I suck. Only other bit I didn't care for was how there seemed to be stutter when my squad was moving as a unit.
