I’m on Linux with an old AMD Pioneer (EDIT: AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (radeonsi, vega10, ACO, DRM 3.61, 6.12.48+deb13-amd64)) video card, and I find the game playable, but just barely, and that’s after changing the Proton version to match the steamdb recommendations.

There’s some visual glitches and definitely low frame rates, but I’m through the second Axon and past the barrier.

Parrying is hard for me, but I just play on Story difficulty and still have fun.

I thought I wasn’t going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.

But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.

I know some are on Steam, but I’m on Linux and I don’t know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)

Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)

I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.

I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the “post-game” was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).

In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)

(I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)

R-Type Final – more than 100 fighters to unlock across a branching campaign, including at least one secret stage.

I was a little disappointed with R-Type Final 2, but I might need to just play more.

Wow! Between BG3, CO:E33, and Sliksong, all the AAA lies are falling away. They don’t have to cost the user an arm and a leg, they can be beautiful works of art and love from small(ish) teams, and they can be an experience that is so rich in player choice it’s practically unique and highly replayable.

My solution for this feeling is to gift copies to others. I figure that worst case I support ConcernedApe and best case I help spark more Stardew joy.

(Right now, I’m between jobs, so I can’t buy for you, other readers.)

Everything 1Upsmanship puts on their “Celestial Hard Drive”.

Or, Minecraft.

The USGS still claims, as it did in 2009, that earthquakes are unpredictable. At best they’ve been able to communicate when/where seismic events happen slightly faster than they propagate through the earth.

I agree, but when you wouldn’t let Aspyr do a Linux port for BL3, I stopped being a “real fan”.

Don’t they make all their money on hats?

I think so. When I first saw the announcement, I was fearing some barely open source license, and was pleasantly surprised.

I just want a version that supports multiplayer on Linux. I wasn’t able to experience the writing disaster that was BL3. Been stuck in single player on BL2 or the pre-sequel for years.

Hmm, maybe next time I’m buying games, I’ll pick up BL3 hoping it works on my Debian system through Proton or something.

Thanks for the info.

From the reviews I’ve seen (Outside Xbox), that’s the most you’ll get out of it. It’s mostly a nothing burger, “bad” is the best thing you can say about it.

BL2 still works on Linux, too. I can’t play BL3, which I hear is the better game (albeit with worse plot).
