Is stuff like this that makes me stay in my position of only buy officially supported Linux games. Like others mentioned, there is already too much stuff to play. I'm not losing my sleep even if Half Life 3 get launched and don't receive a Linux port.

Quoting: Grogan

Quoting: M@GOidL4D2 is overrated. There is nothing special in that game. And I did not played over 3000 hours of it. No sir.

I used to like that game for half an hour or so. I seldom finished an entire level (I just played single player). My favourite was the swamp level, I'd have been more likely to finish all the parts of that one.

They did a lot of work on that game years later. However, they dumbed down the ONE thing that actually amused me about that game. The gore! It used to be utterly over the top, now it's modest.

I only played it for that long because I found myself a tight group to play coop. That and thanks to the community, a healthy amount of "AAA" maps that Valve would not be wrong to grab and launch as L4D3.

Got this a while ago. While they did a good job emulating the controls of Mario Kart 64, I wasn't a fan of the design of obstacles in some tracks. The art of some items could use some work to make them less confusing too.

I personally have no horse in this race, since I prefer tradicional packaging over Snap/Flatpack.

Also, since I'm not a Canonical hater, I also do not see any problem with this. Other distros don't promote Snap, so why Canonical had any obligation to support a competitor option?

In the end, I will not be affected by this so, whatever.

Just got Truxton and, I am pleasantly surprised. First good impression is the minuscule size of the download, just 4MB. So no extra junk in the emulator. The controller was recognized correctly, you can start playing right away. Another nice surprise is a great CRT filter, that not only looks perfect with a sharp image, but was enabled by default. Also, being a shmup, rotated screen (or "Tate" for the connoisseurs) is not only available, but is applied automatically if you initiate the game with the monitor already rotated. The only bug I found was the overlay options didn't work right in the "Tate" mode, but setting those to off let you play without distractions.

And for the casual (or "the ones that suck at it") gamers like me, there are several options to easy your way trough the game, like difficult options, extra lives, auto shootings, etc.

I have to say, this release positively impressed me. Those who did it clearly new what they were doing and the final product, with the exception of a minor bug, is very polished. Other companies launching old emulated arcade games (looking at you Capcom), could learn a thing or two from those guys at Bitware.

Quoting: StalePopcornDoes the Linux version have the crap 2K launcher and pause trying to login to 2K servers before getting to the main screen like the Winduhz version?

Yes, but for those wondering, it pauses de main menu for a couple seconds then lets you play the game without doing the 2k account. And yes, you still have Steam Cloud saves.

Recently a lot of people are experiencing controller problems with this game, in both Linux and MacOS. I tested it in Wayland and Xorg, with 4 different controllers, with and without Steam Input, and the problem remains. Lets hope the developer respond quickly to this problem.

Those companies mastered the game of playing with the vanity of the typical PC gamer. "I must play with all the settings on the Max, at the highest resolution available".

If you manage to take your head out of manufacturer's distorted-reality bubble, you will realize you can play any modern AAA game, with a image quality superior to what the average PC gamer had a mere decade ago, using only the iGPU on a modern AMD processor.

Granted, is not the same experience as playing it on a 1000 dollar discrete card, but is the same game. It IS the same game. Vanity pushes us out of our senses, to make us spend a lot of money on a system just to play a game "better than in the peasant consoles".

Now, I can hear you say that I'm making excuses because I'm poor and cannot afford a 1000 dollar card. But that is a mistake. I'm a adult. I'm employed in the same place for a decade now. But as a full-grown adult, I don't have the luxury of making bad financial decisions anymore. My parents will not bail me out of financial trouble.

I also play games for 30 years. Started in the 8bit generation. I had some of the best gaming experiences of my life on a N64, playing games under 20fps (yeah, twenty!) at resolutions that look ridiculous by today's standards. So you tell me that I cannot have a great gaming experience at 60fps/1080p, just because 4k/120fps is the new hotness? Give me a break. The Steam Deck is out there proving that gaming is more than bragging rights on the internet.
