Premium currencies are just very anti-consumer, I'm sure you know most of the arguments against it so I won't reiterate them.

GGG are great developers, but their sales department is as predatory as every other game, FOMO sales, lootboxes, premium currencies, supporter packs... Not being p2w (the standard on pc btw) is really the only good thing you can say about their current monetization.

There's plenty to explore for sure, and the 3 acts will give most people a run for their money, but the game is incomplete, literally missing half the campaign. The missing weapons and skill gems means you actually don't have many options that aren't railroaded, there's also going to be a lot of balance fixes and probably item drop buffs; EA is never the best time to start a game.

Given you don't pay extra for EA and premium stuff like stash space you buy goes to both PoE1 and 2, you get quite a bit for your early access ticket.

Most new players buying into EA are not going to stick around. Also fuck premium currencies, this shit is manipulative as hell, not to mention it makes refunds needlessly complicated.

Well that's how poe2 is usually described, i personally have never played any of the souls game so i can't attest to the similarity. Poe2 is a lot more boss centric.

The dodge roll has its niche: avoid boss mechanics. You can spam it so it doesn't provide any movement advantage, i think it gives iframes on targeted attacks, but you can still get hit by AOEs. However, because you can't attack while rolling you want to avoid doing it unless you really need to.

They slowed down the game tremendously and added dodge roll.

For anyone that's not familiar with the game, it's a slow top-down arpg with a souls like gameplay. The game is challenging but the progression can currently be tedious and unrewarding, the EA is also missing a lot of content that isn't ready yet; I recommend waiting for the full release if you want to give it a shot.

I dislike microsoft as much as the next guy, but xbox doesn't have a monopoly on phones, or really any presence at all. Competition on android is good for everyone but google.

Concord: The game nobody played but everyone remembers.

Can't wait for the re-release trying to scrounge up a few bucks.

Well TIL.
Warez is a plural of ware if anyone else didn't catch on.

Besides games that actively block linux for their anti-cheat, there aren't many games that don't work ootb on linux.
You can always check for specific games on protondb.

The very first cutscene has a worm crawling into your eye aboard a ship with brain-eating mindflayers, talk about setting the tone.

You're over complicating things

if you don't know their use case or the hardware they use

Most hardware will work ootb, most use cases is opening the browser. But i do agree a blank "use Linux" is a bit too broad. Something like "Use Mint" or "Use Fedora" is better.
