Quoting: GuestSorry but i can murder a lot of innocent people in Saints Row with no problem, but being a dirty capitalist...? Nope, i'm not that psycopath.

This :D I play games for escapism but this reminds me too much of the grubby reality we actually now live in! ;)

Quoting: razing32LOL
My comment was meant more tongue in cheek

Fair enough :D

Quoting: razing32Was more curios what you were having fun with. I have a tonne of games but I seem to find myself drifting to older games run via wine (Tachyon the Fringe , Deus Ex 1 , Return to Castle Wolfenstein)

Don't think I ever had a love affair with platformers but did play them as a kid since they were the norm.
Loved Dying light but more from the sense of dread and panic while traversing the city at night.
I tend to favor RTS/TBS/Point and click and just stay away from the action and breathe in the world around me.

I can certainly appreciate that last bit. Maybe I've been neglecting my gaming at a subconscious level because I agree with you ;) I'm slowing down with old age!

Quoting: razing32What fun stuff did you find to play solo ?
Curios for myself :P

Really? I currently have over 400 Linux games Quite amazing! None of those are multiplayer only games.

I tend to favour FPS type games like Dying Light, Hitman, Borderlands 2, Deus Ex, Shadow Of Mordor, Mad Max etc etc, you get the idea ;) Steamworld Dig's the nearest I get to a platformer these days.

I used Wine for gaming but not for a few years now. I did rack up 103 hours in Far Cry 2, for instance and loved the Stalker series.

This is going to the top of my wishlist. Just behind SteamWorld Dig 2, which I still haven't had the chance to buy. "Embarrassment of riches" is the phrase that comes to mind these days, who'd have thought that a few years ago?

Well I actually picked this up :P Seemed like it was worth a punt at that price. I've only given it a very brief testing though but it does appear to work perfectly on Linux (so far).

The game is still being developed actively and it looks like they're working to give room owners the powers to silence, kick and ban users, so the "nasty" elements are getting contained. Find a room with a decent admin and it could be a lot of fun.

p.s. I generally avoid any online gaming so I surprised myself by getting this one

I loved Kikstart on the CBM64. It appears the follow up was spelt differently (CBM64) - 'Kickstarter II'. Had to have a look on youtube... then saw 'action biker', the memories are flooding back, great stuff!

Back on topic... the graphics look great in this game and could be a fun casual game to pick up. But... when actually released and not before.

Quotepeople are terrible

The basic problem of most online games.

Indeed. I checked out some vids and while the premise is great and could be a lot of fun, unfortunately it could get tiring wading through the idiots.

Might be fun with a GOL only crowd though :D Don't know how you could control the audience, I'll take a cautionary glance anyway.

Quoting: ShmerlAntergos with KDE didn't work out for you?

Now to address that directly. I got tired of issues cropping up when updating, I was taken in by "ooo shiny, updates often" etc etc. In reality, it's not all that stable, especially when it comes to gaming.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT

QuoteI agree about the stability part. Arch breaks more than probably any other linux distro I've used. I'm pretty spoiled by gentoo though. If something breaks, it was pretty much my fault.

Interesting, I almost never have those issues with plain Arch.

Apologies for the OT but I'm afraid I must also comment here.

I very rarely have problems with Arch and any that do very rarely crop up are simple to remedy, either by myself or with a quick look at the forums also. I guess I'm just lucky

I always feel I have less problems by using Arch than I otherwise would, precisely because everything's up to date. I haven't used Ubuntu since 2009 admittedly but the very reason I moved away was because of constant annoyances with old, stale software. I also compile a lot of stuff from the AUR without issue. In fact it always amazes me how simple this is.

P.S. I'm not trying to bash Ubuntu or any other distro, just stating my experiences. Use what floats your boat and be happy!
