This game is so fun. It’s one of the only games I play that couldn’t be played on Linux. Very glad they’re fixing this.

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

It's great. My only complaint is that the character models are not to my taste at all. But theyre fine targets so it's a minute issue.

[-] Blaiz0r@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

The way they run in that opening scene makes me laugh.

  • Free-to-play
  • Requires anti-cheat
  • Requires "Embark" account

No thanks.

[-] Lemmchen@feddit.de 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Try to play a competitive online game without anti-cheat and see if it is still fun.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Don't know, don't care.

[-] EvokerKing@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The embark account thing is kinda annoying when you already have steam but literally all you have to do is confirm your email. And the anti cheat is required because without it there would be even more hackers than the already is. Try to find a good game that is popular, multiplayer, with no anti cheat and no need for one because nobody cheats.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Not saying anti-cheat ain't important for multiplayer games. Just not interested in creating security vulnerabilities on my system.

[-] EvokerKing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Then you aren't interested in multiplayer gaming.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

There's such a thing as co-op, you know?

F2P isn't a problem if you care rats ass about skins or if it isn't P2W

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

I don't care. That's the problem. They try to shove them down my throat every 3 fucking minutes.

[-] Lemmchen@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What the hell are you even talking about? The game is super unobtrusive about their in game store.
What it does show you, is what you unlock for free.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

What the hell are you even talking about?

Every free to play game I have ever played

[-] jackpot@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

have you ever heard of enshittification my sweet summers child

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 years ago

Its not that bad.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That's like saying ads are also fine if you don't care about them. The design of F2P model games is to create an environment to encourage spending, it's insidious and more deceptive than you'd think.

[-] Contend6248@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's a shitty model, but i played countless hours spending not a dime in various games

No official announcements means you could get banned for trying it. Don't do it.

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Respawn/EA have never announced Linux support for Apex Legends, as far as I can tell, and it's been working most of the time for the past two years, except for the few times when they've botched an update (and which they fixed it afterwards).

The Finals used to kick me before I've got to the main screen, claiming the lack of anticheat as a reason. now the launch shows EAC window loading and lets me fully through, so it seems quite obvious to me that they've enabled the support on their end.

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 8 points 2 years ago

Apex Legends was one of the big things that they were using as an example to show off the Steam Deck and is one of the main games listed on their "Steam Deck Verified" pages. I assume this means that Valve and Respawn/EA were talking to each other about it at least.

I would like to see Steam to require games to not ban Linux users for using Linux (or at least disclose that they are doing it) as a requirement for being listed on their store, but that's probably not going to happen.

[-] funkajunk@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago

It's F2P, just don't buy any cosmetics and make a new account if it gets banned.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

That's pretty normal tho.

I also do not care. That would just mean going back to not playing it. Boohoo.

If they can't help banning people for playing on Linux, that's honestly a bigger problem for the devs than me, imo.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

Don't play it because they might ban you then you won't be able to play it?

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've tried it and wasn't banned. Before the update, EAC would quit right after launch with a message

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Just today on another thread someone said they were banned. I would've saved the comment if I thought it was worthwhile. It was on a meme post about getting games to run on Linux.

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Literally the only game I'm playing rn. It's so fucking good

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 12 points 2 years ago

Interesting. I've been getting hounded to play this game by friends. I might check it out.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

The destruction is epic but I'm really not a fan of the only 2 game modes. Just give me classic TDM or something...

[-] Amaltheamannen@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I keep seeing TV ads where the key only show the actual game title for like 0.1seconds.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Had it installed for a while. Even sent the devs a friendly email that I'm interested but waiting on them to enable support to let me play.

It looks good. Now I can find out myself.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

The steam community was quite active. Who knows, maybe the devs considered it worthwhile seeing the activity there.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

lots of people asked for it in their Discord group, too.

[-] MTG8175@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I can enjoy this game for like 10 mins and I need a break. I follow the markers and then I'm in the middle of nowhere just to follow markers and do it again.

[-] saintshenanigans@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Idc if it's an unpopular opinion, complaining about ai voices in games is one of the stupidest things I've ever in my life heard people get upset about.

You DONT want game characters to be able to intelligently respond to events in game and the things you do? What??

This conversation should be purely concentrated around how they compensate the actors for using their voice as an AI training tool.

[-] bentel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't even mind the voices. It's really not bad at all.

[-] 0x0@social.rocketsfall.net 5 points 2 years ago

I get Bad Company 2 vibes from this. Might give it a shot.

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Intentional, the game is made by Battlefield alums. This also means that playing the objective influences your score more directly than kill count does.

[-] mac_alice@mastodon.social 2 points 2 years ago

@sirsquid This game looks damn good graphically!
