Gothic (2001). Still a really cool game!

Thanks!

But can you just download and play it on Linux via Steam/Proton or do you need to install their launcher?

Hey hey, some of us here are hoping for the 2060s and 70s to still be nice enough!

Yeah, absolutely. Just for me, this feels like a typical AA game. Indie is more like Noita, Mouthwashing or Vampire Survivors. But you are right, there are no definitive borders or anything.

I don’t know about that. I am saying, that I wouldn’t count It Takes Two as an indie title.

That is no indie game.

I mean the Steam recommendations list a RX 6800 XT. That is not too crazy!

Yep. It is a really nice action game with some metroidvania elements. Imagine the 2000s Jedi Knight games combined with the Metroid Prime series. More than worth the few bucks

I don’t want to use Windows, but play on my Linux Gaming PC. This works really nice because of the work, Valve does on Proton and gives back to Wine. GoG is cool, but they don’t help in regards to this. The Epic fucks (hehe) are actually hostile towards Linux, so before I would buy there, I would pirate their games or just not play the game at all.

When the Steam enshittification starts, I will be one of the first to say fuck them, too.

I am sorry to hear that, because for me, the game was a really special experience.

Yes, the ship controls needed a bit getting used to it, but when you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to navigate. And I loved it, that they tried to immitate real sky mechanics and didn’t make the ship behave like a boat or racing car.

But as far as I heard, you are not alone with the struggle.

I heard a games podcast, where one of the hosts played the game with kbm. He really struggled, especially in DB, because the thrust has no step-ups. By that time it was an annoying flaw with the game and there was only a mod to fix that, which was, by itself, broken.

Played the game on a PS4 a while ago and loved everything about it.

One of those features is Proton. Thanks to Steam I can play every game I am interested in, without the need to install Windows.

GoG sometimes pushes out Linux installers that they immediately stop supporting, resulting in non-working games. Fuck that.

What is your problem with the price related to the length of the game?

So you know that really neat trick, where you don’t buy the newest games and you can get most of them for a few bucks?
