Quoting: LeopardYep,if this user share won't change i'm afraid eventually we will migrate to Windows again.

Good riddance. I suppose people (like me) use Linux based operating systems not only because of a certain market share on Steam.

Quoting: TuxeeWith HL1 I was and still am stuck in Xen between the Gonarch and the Nihilant. HL2 was different. Finished the base game several times - I find all levels stunning: Ravenholm, the highway section, the "water hazard"... Episode I was - relatively speaking - a bit of a letdown. Episode II cranked it up again, but I never finished the final battle against the Striders with the Magnusson Device. Shame.

I was sort of the opposite, I enjoyed the urban combat and navigating the wreckage of the tower in Episode I to the antlion caverns and frankly way-too-gimmicky final battle of Episode II. The fact that Magnusson pretty much literally came out of nowhere and everyone was suddenly deferring to the jerk didn't really help much. There were good bits of course, it's still a Half-Life game after all, but I thought it was further from the others than Ep I was.

As to HL2 itself, I think what I always looked forward to the most when playing was the sheer vertiginous tension of navigating the bridge. Which got even worse on the way back since you were being harassed by the gunship, and I was never really that good a shot with rockets.

Well I suppose I should give EP I another try. It was the only chunk of HL (including the original HL, Blue Shift, Opposing Force) that I played only once. I suppose because of fighting off the onslaught of zombies at the elevator in complete darkness: The elevator is practically there and a Zombine finishes you off with a grenade... Well, the bridge section was epic.
The fact that one can remember all those scenes years after playing them tells you something about how good HL really is.

QuoteRise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has... come again.

Quoting: Aryvandaar"ONE BILLION YEARS INTO THE FUTURE...", come on, really? ...

How is that any different from "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away"? I agree, it's ludicrous, but come on, it's fantasy! ;-)

I'm downloading Torment as of this moment, it will be interesting to see if it even launches (I don't have too high hopes, as it's the first we see of the Linux port).

Why not? inXile's Wasteland 2 came with day one support and worked without any hiccups.

Quoting: TheRiddickIts a good game, I have allot of the tanks and planes but was disappointed with mid tier Japanese editions (their BR is WAY too high for allot of them) so I have taken a LONG break from the game until I see some BR changes or something to that line up.

Tanks or the planes? Because with planes the BRs are quite acceptable, some of them are (or were) clearly OP (Ki-100, A7M, N1K1), but that's something they share with all other nations. Tanks might be a different story - I'm still struggling with their tier 1 models.

Quoting: hardpenguinPlayed tanks only cause I sucked at planes. It's very fun in the beginning, but gets more pay-to-win after leveling up a bit. Still, a nice game!

It's not pay to win. It's "pay to speed up grind" - which I find perfectly acceptable. Besides I get most fun out of level 2-4 aircraft (can't comment on tanks yet). The jet age tends to become a chore.

Quoting: Guest1- That's just propaganda from imperialist agenda. Sources are yihadists, KSA and Qatar, etc..

2- Aleppo has been sieged for years, but this charities only care when the "siege" comes by the "evil" government, because they only defend Al-Nusra and that goatfuckers.

And i only searched for 1 minute, i can find more shit on the internet, MSF is just imperialistic shit.

And you are one kind of a troll. Liam, I'm done here (at least with this "discussion").

Quoting: SirBubblesI'd like to chime in. After being burned by Kingdom Come: Deliverance and The Mandate, I'd be really hesitant about touching anything from Kickstarter. Getting a cheaper price isn't quite the same as buying a product you can have some certainty about. Delayed for years and not supporting the platform you use is not good enough. And here is another dev saying "can't be arsed supporting linux. Too hard".

Did you read the steam discussion? Their first post was:

QuoteThank you!
Yes, Linux version will be available!

So what? That's what they said about KC: Deliverance, too. They even promised Beta access...

Quoting: buenaventuraWow, what a bundle, I already have many of the games, but still. I highly recommend Thirty Flights of Loving - it works perfect with wine.

Edit: I always get surprised that Trump and right wing idiots in general actually exist in reality, but then I stumble upon them in my own backyard, it's frightening. Oh, and that they won the election. What can you say? "Money laundering", OK.

Yeah, the idiots won the election, and they are going to keep winning as long as you don't threat people with different opinions with respect. Biggot.

So I should treat white supremacists, islamists, racists, sexists with "respect", because you know, they just have "different opinions". Interesting approach. Particularly since those I'm supposed to treat with respect show not the slightest of respect for people not fitting into their mindset.

Quoting: GuestI'm not giving money to charities anymore, a lot of them are just first world puppets supporting imperialism.

If i want a game i want to pay the developers, if i want to be hypocritical and think i'm a good person by giving money to charities i can donate directly, but not for games.

Sure. When "Médecins Sans Frontières" stepped in to help in the Ebola crisis in West Africa they did this on behalf of some imperialist agenda...
