Quoting: KimyrielleHonestly? I find it disrespectful to make promises that you don't keep down the road.

Unfortunately, that appears to be a much more general problem than just Linux releases.

Personally, I'm not too bothered by all this. At the end of the day, it's rather simple. Either a game comes out on Linux, or it doesn't. Until a definitive release date is given, I take note, but don't consider it to have much value. No hype, no expectation, no nothing. If it never comes, I'll just play something else.

This.

Humble does take note of the platform. In fact, it draws a graph for how much each platform contributed. Whether that translates to a proper cut for Feral is something only they can answer. It'd be pretty strange if it didn't though.

It's a bit weird indeed. If it's viable on Mac, it's certainly viable on Linux. From a tech perspective anyway. And since they already have the Mac port, it should be from a commercial point of view as well. Unless the Mac port is Metal only.

Looks pretty good! Might be nice after I finish Mark of the Ninja.

Did all of that change or are you just again shilling for Feral?

The list above that were *reasons* not to own CoH2, not excuses! :P

Quoting: BeamboomWord of advice: Ignore amateur "reviews", read real reviews to make up your mind.

I don't find that those "pro" reviews have any more value than the "amateur" ones. You still need to dig trough personal opinions, genre prejudice and other stuff to get some sort of idea of what value you could give it yourself. It takes time.

It's difficult what to make of the reviews. This game has a pretty low rating, but most of the reviews on the front page are positive. Which contrasts quite a lot with "Valley", which has a very high rating but quite a few bad reviews on the front page.

If I single out the bad reviews for Homefront, they seem to have bad AI and repetitive gameplay in common. As well as it not being the best shooter for the money. It'll be interesting to hear opinions on here.

From what I heard about walking and VR, it'll probably be the latter.

I used to play a lot of RTS games. Started with Dune 2, C&C, Red Alert and things like that. But that quickly reduced when uni sucked up time. This series was apparently to late and didn't get much attention. So it completely passed my by.
