Mac being OpenGL4.1 ONLY is kinda limiting, but this kind of game would sell on the platform so I guess he must.
I don't see many developers adopting metal API on Mac, walled garden API's IMO are bad for the games industry!

Tweaking Performance in XCOM 2

Got a problem on retaliation missions where FPS tanks to like 15fps or so. Anyone found a solution for this?
Two Worlds Epic Edition openworld action RPG now on GOG for Linux

The only thing that annoyed me about Two Worlds and its squeal was the somewhat chunky animation system. Its why I turned to RISEN as an alternative game, it had better combat/animation, at least the first one did at the time.
And so it begins, the Steam Summer Sale is here

I managed to get the XCOM2 Deluxe for sale from another site (kinguin) for $35usd so I guess my impatience didn't bite me in the ass this time!
Think its time to buy portal series at 83% off :)
Stellaris has more content and is not dumbed down space RTS. MOO is pretty dumbed down version which a monkey should be able to handle, they even removed secondary races from the game recently so you don't haft to think about that.

Quoting: KimyrielleSo Stellaris and Master of Orion cost the same now. :D
Which one to get? oO

XCOM 2 - Alien Hunters thoughts, prepare to get frustrated

I got XCOM2 now and will say it runs pretty good with AMDGPU-PRO drivers, probably on par with what Liam was getting last night at 1440p (4k works ok also but bit too much screen tearing due to lowfps).
EDIT: After further testing, certain missions like retaliation ones have REAL low FPS even with everything turned off. Bizarre.

They better have some pretty big rewards once you finally kill the bastards. I mean you are likely to loose ALLOT of soldiers to them early on wreaking your economy.
UPDATE: I somehow managed to find this for $44AUD which is about 35USD in DELUXE version, so I grabbed that considering the steam sale is unlikely to be more than %50off anyway. Got Kane and Lynch 2 for free as a bonus (pfft).
So it looks like I will be able to play this soon, and test performance on my 390x with AMDGPU-PRO drivers.

A third of Valve now working on VR, still no Linux support

I have been exposed to 4k desktop and gaming for too long to use VR, it would be like hot knife into my eyeballs having my face pressed up against a shitty stretched 1200p screen!
Buy games from G2A? You should just stop already, tinyBuild lost out on approx $450K of sales

I didn't know G2A was such a problem. Thought 'most' the keys were just bought as surplus/steamsale or from different countries for cheaper.
I did know that there were scammers selling keys on G2A as I have received a couple in the past, but didn't know the problem was of this magnitude. I'll definitely stop buying stuff from them in the future. Thought here in Australia it's quite hard to buy from official chains, the prices are pretty high IMO, generally I just wait for the yearly sales.
Starting to get annoyed with expansions that cost more than the original title..

Soon we will start seeing more 5k and 8k monitors in use. Also is anyone using a 4096 x 2160 pixel screen? DCI standard or something, are those wider?

Sort of reminds me of some sort of ANT colony/survival game. Decent effort, not sure on the whole skeleton warrior thing.
