Hi! I recently played Tokyo Ghostwire and really liked it. I did not play a lot of similar games before. So I am looking for more cool games with exploration and interesting worlds, or similar games in general, that will actually work with controllers and work on linux. Did you pirate something like this recently that you liked?

Rant: I wanted to play Yakuza 0, as it supposedly works on linux, but it just does not launch. Tried looking for some fixes online, but found nothing relevant to my problem, as it works for most people.... Tried the same with Sleeping dogs, and all I got was a white screen. The fixes I found online with some xml file adjusting the screen resolution but it made the problem even worse,as the game stoped to even try to launch. Tried two different repacks and it changed nothing.

So, I am asking for recommendations for more games that I can play, maybe I can get some of them to actually work. I use lutris and protonQT to manage different versions of wine ge and proton. The method of "adding program as a non-steam game" just does nothing, the programs do not launch.

Try turning on steam play on the game in steam. In my experience all my pirated games work using proton experiemental. The game not launching is commonly because proton isnt on for the certain game

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.

[–] xuxxun 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] xuxxun 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
