I should try this, thanks
Haven't played Gostwire Tokyo, so I'm not sure exactly how it plays, but you might also enjoy the Witcher 3 and Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War. They both have good combat systems and skill trees (although they work quite differently), as well as an open explorable world. I've played Shadow of Mordor (Steam version), so I know that works fine on Linux
That sounds very cool thanks for the reccomendations!
Shadow of War is so good. I put 80 hours into it years ago. I’ve been thinking about redownloading it again. Combat system is satisfying, movement system is satisfying. Everything is satisfying.
That is a very compelling reccomendation :D
The bosses you fight rank up if they defeat you and then mock you if they see you (along with their henchmen). Is so cool
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by exploration but DayZ works on Linux. It's an open world zombie survival multiplayer game with a massive map. I have 650 hours on this game and there are still probably few towns I haven't ever visited.
This sounds cool. I did use the world exploration in the broad sense instead of a specific genre because I am truly interested in experiencing an interesting world,no matter to me right now if it is a survival game, or horror, or walking simulator... Thanks for the reccomendation this sounds great honestly. will need to check it.
People jokingly call DayZ a hiking simulator because it includes so much running in the woods between towns. It truly is one of a kind of game. I haven't ever played anything else like it. The learning curve is steep though and I recommend watching few tutorials as trying to survive as a new player will be brutal. There will be alot of starving to death and dying to infections and diseases. Best would be teaming up with a more experienced player but trying to find ones that are friendly can be tricky.
Thanks for the tips! that is good advice, ill probably watch some playthroughs
Dude. Play Death Stranding with compatibility enabled to use proton and you're in business. You'll be playing for a looooong time exploring an incredible landscape.
Edit: I didn't realize this was the piracy community. I immediately assumed you would use Steam. My bad.
But if you can get it to work with proton for real, it's worth it.
Thanks for the reccomend. Sounds like my kind of vibe. A lot of things do work with proton, some don't. I also do buy some games, just rather would test them out if they work at all before i commit this way.
terraria?
Have not tried it before, will check it out, thx
Completely new to (just started looking into using) Linux. Steam Deck runs on Linux, so why is it so difficult to play games on Linux? I understand a lot of people probably don't want to use Steam for one reason or another (pirating, access to games not available on Steam, etc.), but for those that aren't anti-Steam, what gives?
It works perfectly fine for me for almost anything that doesn't have a rootkit packaged with it on steam deck.
My desktop I've had a couple more issues because I use Nvidia and their drivers are less supported. But it's still not that bad.
Thanks for the info! Hopefully I'll have less issue because the machine I'm on now (the one I'll be Linux-ifying) is all AMD. I'm trying to do away with Windows in my life, but I have a well-curated collection of games, some of which are m+k only (like Bitburner) and while once I get a Deck that'll be my main gaming platform, I still want to be able to plug a controller into my computer and blow some shit up.
ProtonDB is your friend. I haven't had to tweak many games, but you can find useful information there. ProtonUp-QT is also sometimes helpful. It streamlines adding proton GE, which is sometimes needed for codecs steam can't package. I personally install everything I can through steam, though some prefer heroic or lutris for other stores.
Thank you so freaking much. I'm just getting started learning all this stuff and you've made my searching much, much easier. Sorry if I seem kinda wired— I'm already mainlining coffee for this undertaking!
