Fighting Fantasy Classics plans to add full Steam Deck support
19 November 2024 at 5:33 pm UTC

I had many of these books back in the 80s. If I remember correctly, I had around the first 25 FFGs and all four Sorcery! books. They were epic - especially the Sorcery! books - and I really should look getting the electronic collection :-)

Looks quite appealing and has quite a unique art style. The Linux system requirements show 32GB RAM, whereas Windows requires '4 GB RAM MB RAM', whatever that is!

Quoting: EikeI don't find Linux mentioned in the first negative reviews though...

I counted nine just scrolling down a few lines on the main page. Some examples:

"'Sorry but if we can't install a rootkit on your system we can't allow you to play the game.'
Helpful?"

"Cannot play on Linux anymore"

"Removing steamdeck and linux support is the proper way to let the users hate much more EA and Respawn. I couldn't be more sad to see one of the best games die this way, first caring only about making money instead of fixing the game and now force people to use the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ OS that is windows."

"Suddenly I cannot play on Linux after many years. Why?"

Mostly negative reviews now on the Steam forums. This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing from angry penguins!

Quoting: ShmerlAny news on GOG release?

The answer is in the Steam discussions for this game.

The game is already DRM-free so that shouldn't be an issue. I will continue to support Steam as Valve are investing heavily in Proton/wine and Linux-based games consoles. I'm struggling to think what GOG have done for Linux gaming in recent years.

Snagged this DLC today! It will have to wait until I'm tired of the awesome Starcom: Unknown Space, though!

Whilst I have no interest in this kind of multiplayer game, some will sadly take away the impression that "all Linux users are cheaters". Which, of course, is far from the case.
It also makes me wonder if there is some anti-Valve conspiracy here. Inquiring minds want to know...

Quoting: PhiladelphusWhat does "requires manual removal" in the second screenshot mean?

Presumably, you need to crack the game yourself ;-)

I've actually refunded this game. For me, the concept was great, the character creation screen was nicely involved and the artwork was adequate for the style. However, as mentioned above, the combat system is awful; I found that I could assign some actions to one character and then select another character to assign some actions for... and the game would forget the assigned actions for the first character. Terrible, so it had to be returned :-(

Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster will be a GOG exclusive

The irony here being that we'll need a product partially funded by Valve in order to play it... ;-)
