I really think what killed it was the "Oh my god, NWN 3!!" and then it was more of a mix. I only had time to play a bit of the random dungeon generator before the campaign was released, and everything I'd read said the campaign was pretty poor, but then when no one started making modules for it, it's when I couldn't hop on board. I was real close to buying copies for my friends to play too, but didn't.

Wait, they did Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2? Why oh why did they never release that for the PC? The first one was awesome. Most of the games I see listed there are console ports done by other teams?

Anyhow, I always find it rather sad when a D&D licensed game bombs, remember how successful some of the others were, even going back as far as the original SSI Gold Box ones?

That was quick... they did their money grab then disappeared. Probably because something they claimed would be basically Neverwinter Nights 3 became more like something that was made with Basic D&D rules. At least that was the impression I got from my short time with the game. I had high hopes for it, but then no one liked most of their decisions.

Pretty sad.

Edit: read the post, I'd never heard of n-Space until this game, 21 years? what else did they make?

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: TeodosioIf only they released Half-Life 3 as GNU/Linux exclusive, lots of problems would be solved.

Lol, this. There needs to be bigger pushes to wake up the general public since most stores won't tell them about the choice they have or even offer that choice to them. At least in Merica. :P

So while they've stated time and time again that they don't want to do exclusives... all they really have to do is program it up in Linux, release it... then say that the Windows / DirectX version isn't ready yet, so SteamOS gets the release a month or so before Windows. This way they get around saying no exclusives, Windows gamers get to feel like we do, and they'll promote sales of Steam Machines.

Quoting: hallieballieHmm,


Is this another Gorky 17 than Gorky 17 from Linux Game Publishing from 2006

http://linuxdeal.com/Game-Gorky-17

Gorky 17 by Linux Game Publishing
Category: RPG
Works with: Native Linux
Price: $39.00
License: Commercial

I was going to say this as soon as I saw it.... the game was already ported by Linux Game Publishing. Would be awesome if we could get them to put their things in Steam, though I think due to their publishing / porting deals they can't, otherwise we'd have quake etc on Steam. Whatever happened to them anyhow, I think the last I had heard they were supposed to be porting a few more games over, but it seemed they had lost the deals with all the larger games and were doing less known ones like Gorky 17.

Quoting: LinasSo you get both Steam and GOG versions with a single purchase, do not have to activate it or type anything in, it is coming to Linux, and you can actually sell the game? The force is strong with this one.

Wow, you mean someone finally learned? I actually already have these games, I believe 1 and 2 are both on GOG. Would buy again if they keep doing things like this. Of course there is the problem that I thought at least the first one was horrible, I haven't had much time to play the second one.

Quoting: apocalyptechHa, I would totally play Shadow of Mordor like this. You're already an undead ranger being kept alive by a ghostly wraith who doesn't let you Actually Die under any circumstances, so why not be a floating head, too?

Agreed! At least this game actually has a reason you can respawn infinitely. Hey, with a floating head, does this mean they're going to adapt it to VR, most of those you're a floating head with floating hands anyhow.

The graphics corruption on the game (at least the last time I played it) was hilariously bad, where full on fireworks randomly started shooting everywhere if you looked at glowing particles at a certain angle.

They fix these yet?

They understand how to make awesome games. Actually adding in split screen multiplayer for a PC version is sadly uncommon, but they do it.

Awesome, I've backed a few Kickstarters, but haven't in quite a while. Satellite Reign and Bard's Tale 4 mostly. This one looks awesome. I wonder if they'll also support SteamVR?

I wonder who's fault it is that the steam controller doesn't work in Hero Siege on Linux. It works on Windows, but under Linux the game doesn't recognize it properly and so won't work at all. I'm guessing they need to update their controller detection library. Seems it really only detects an xbox 360 controller.
