Quoting: GuestI bought and tried playing that game but found it so boring. What am I missing here?

Nothing. Taste is subjective. It just wasn't something you enjoyed. That's fine. Others, like myself, enjoyed it a lot. This is fine too.

Excellent bundle. I'll have to wait for the "+more" though since I already have everything on the list except Owlboy.

Quoting: HollowSoldierThe next big thing will be everyone calling Linux (distros) an RTS OS. What's the last time a non-RTS game was released. Deus Ex maybe? (Indies don't count.)

Quoting: michaI can't keep wondering whether it just was comparably little effort to port or if there's another reason to choose a 6 year old game with plenty of similar ones available.

Probably the first Feral ported game I won't buy. At least not without a massive sale. :-/

I'm guessing because it was highly requested, being among the most highly rated games in the series.

I already own it but it's one of the games I miss most since going Linux-only. And like others have said, I can always buy some DLC.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleBah, it's not recognising my Logitech Driving Force GT.

It's listed in the controller descriptions file.

I saw it there, but it still doesn't work for me.

Quoting: KimyrielleI skipped on Victor Vran because I am not too eager to play games that force me to play a male character, at least not unless premade female characters become just as normal.

As @Xpander was pointing out, how can you apply it to any defined story character? It's one thing if you have a generic character builder in a flexible RPG, but it's another thing if some story aspects are locked. Do you also refuse to play any adventure game, because they don't let you selecting the character? Games can be quite different in this aspect.

Victor Vran as a character is about as "defined" as a dead insect smear on a car windshield. And how does "story" figure in the multiplayer?

Either way, if someone says they don't like playing a game because of whatever, it's nobody's job to argue with them.

Bah, it's not recognising my Logitech Driving Force GT. Odd since it works fine with other Feral port, GRID Autosport. I was very tempted with the 70% discount, but might have to give it a miss.

Limit Theory, an ambitious space game, is still being developed and has quite a few beautiful screenshots to show off

Quoting: rafebelmontLooks really cool to me. I have been dying to play games like this on Linux. Anyone has other recommendations?

I'm a big fan of the X series, even the last one, X:Rebirth since they fixed it up.

Quoting: razing32I do have some concerns on this game.
Digging through steam reviews I came across one that mentioned the community tried to implement cars as a mod last year and were more successful than the devs.
However since I do not actively play this or follow the community I am unsure of the validity of that statement.
Wonder if anyone can confirm one way or another.

Here is the review I am referencing:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198030619437/recommended/108600/

Well, if the devs were ONLY implementing cars, I could see your concern, but they likely have a whole wad of other things also being worked on. It sounds like they are just getting started on cars.
