I remember when VP released Witcher 2 last year, they've made a lot of progress since then. I like what I'm seeing and if this turns out to be a cost effective way to deliver not-too old Windows games to Linux then I say bring it on. :D

I admit I underestimated this game when I saw it was also being released for Android, but I was WRONG, totally wrong and I think I finally found a game that catches my interest.

Thanks for the review :)

That's very reassuring of them, thank you Obsidian. Looking forward to more RPG greatness to splurge my money on. :D

Just a question to the Dev, do you have any plans of releasing the game DRM-Free on stores such as GOG?

Thanks

Quoting: FiBuAshes of singularity is using dx 12. I have done some benchmarks(this is only pre-alpha so dx 12 perfomance can be totally changed but I was curious). I was really suprised that my i5 4590 is running dx 12 much better than any amd procesor. I have been thinking that with dx 12 amd procesors with more cores will beat intel(especially that creators of Ashes of singurality have good relationship with AMD) .

I think the reason for that might be because intel processors have better per-core performance than AMD cpu's, take for example the i3's which are dual core with hyper threading, they can still match and overtake some of AMD's Quad Core or better CPU's.

intel has made quite some progress between Sandy Bridge and Haswell, I have an i5 4590 like yours and the frame rate in some CPU bound games is noticeably higher compared to my old i5 2400.

Looks yummy, personally I see no reason why companies would choose DX12 over this. A powerful cross platform API such as this would nullify the "Our engine was written for DirectX" excuse and in turn games can start coming to Mac and Linux the same way they do on Windows and Consoles without too many additional costs.

I'm probably going too fast here I know, but it's time for developers and publishers to start accepting the fact that Linux on the desktop is something real and it's not just "An OS for geeks", some already do, while the big ones still have to budge.

Shadow Warrior was one hell of a great job, knowing Aaron is behind it practically confirms that this will be yet another great experience.

This is one of my highly anticipated games this year, day 1 purchase on GOG.

Despite having an Amiga 600 with 200+ games and a 486 PC I never played any of these games in my days as it was mostly Doom and other id software / Build Engine games. Judging from the screenshots I probably won't like Pack 2, the graphics are no issue, but the gameplay isn't my type.

Can't say the same for pack 1 and 3 though. First person, tile based and claustrophobic, going to enjoy many nights with those, starting from tomorrow :D

I didn't back any KS games yet, despite some of them being really good. Larian did make a lot of mess ups with the Linux version of D: OS I admit, my guess is that they weren't ready for it, for the record many companies weren't ready for Linux.

The company is a good one though and I'll probably back D: OS 2 this time around. As a Linux gamer there's something that I always keep in mind - the Linux gamer base is the smallest out of the 3 PC platforms yet some companies still invest their time, money and effort to deliver those games to us. It's a slow process but it's finally starting to be recognized as a viable gaming platform.

The game will arrive over 1 year late and it has disappointed many fans, but one thing still matters: It's coming.

Stop complaining :-)

Quoting: paupavGog should really make proper client for Linux.
Downloading from the browser is horrible idea, since you can't pause and most of the people (I think) including me don't wanna use terminal to get their games.

I've been downloading with the browser since 2011 without any issues, can pause the downloads just fine. Never had to use the terminal either, just Firefox + downthemall addon.

I for one, dislike automatic updates, achievements and all the fluff clients have, the browser way is just what I wanted. The GOG Galaxy client for Linux will come at some point, there's no release date though.
