I would always play AVP2 as an Alien. I loved the mobility of being able to traverse walls and the unique challenges/opportunities it presented. I played it a lot and got quite good at it (would easily be the top player in most games I played), but would more often focus on making use of those unique mechanics for novelty situations.
One map (the forge, or something similar) had high ceilings with ridges built in to it, perfect for hiding an Alien. Instead of running around the map tearing up victims and moving up the leaderboard, I would cling up on that ceiling and wait for an unsuspecting human to pass underneath. I would drop down like a spider, paralyze them with my tail, and immediately headbite them. The glee that I would get from perfectly executing that surpassed any MVP received from high scores. It was fun to just play an Alien like an Alien.
I want to play that so bad right now. The cat like movement with wall-climb, plus the alien vision is easily one of my top 5 unique gaming experiences.
Easily one of my favourite PvP games because of the species dynamics and the lobby options. Used to play it at LAN parties now and then, up to maybe 8 players. Once you had enough players it was great to have 1 Predator vs 2-3 aliens and the rest humans. Species were selected at random so sometimes you’d get a derpy predator or a one hunter killing machine. It always lead to interesting games that sort of naturally lead inadvertently to roleplay scenarios like the humans keeping an eye on vents and banding together.
Oh and alien life cycle was always on for more challenge to the alien players. Trying to find a facehugger victim in and trying not to get blasted straight out of the chest as a chestburster to become the ultimate killing machine.
Apex is listed as Steam Deck Verified. Since Steam Deck and desktop linux use the same compatibility tool, Proton, that means both should be supported.
Additionally, the last time this happened, Apex unbanned all of the desktop linux users, which is at least a soft-confirmation that it’s supported.
edit: as per requested; There is far more to any system than just the OS or a single piece of software. Simply because both systems use the same core, the OS isn't a copy and paste. Additionally, the varied components result in very different results. tldr; Linux != steam OS despite being built on the same core.
I hope you understand that you’re getting downvoted because your reply is very low-effort that refuses to go into any detail. Therefore, it comes across as malicious, arrogant, and dismissive.
“Unsupported” (or “your mileage may vary” as you put it) means it lacks support. As in, if you try to contact support they are totally in their right to answer “sorry, this platform is unsupported, you’re on your own” if something doesn’t work or is buggy.
“Unsupported” does not mean that it’s a bannable offense.
Given that, let me ask you: why do you think trying to run software on an unsupported platform without malicious intent should be banned, as you seem to imply?
You’re pretty misinformed here. EA (or rather the internal studio, Respawn) had to include the EasyAnticheat .so file (which is specifically designed to allow EasyAnticheat to function under Linux – .so files are the Linux equivalent of Windows .dlls) in their Apex Legends builds to begin with. Otherwise, EAC will not run on Linux, period. This developer opted-in to EasyAnticheat running, and has continued to opt-in to this.
This isn’t Valve “tacking on” support, the presence of that file is an explicit “we’re permitting this to work” (even if they don’t “officially” consider it supported).
A closer analogy might be selling uncooked food that is safe for people with a peanut allergy and then one day adding peanuts as an ingredient after they’ve paid for a shipment. [It should go without saying avoiding a peanut allergy reaction is more important than preventing a company locking you out of entertainment software you paid for]
It’s my hope that corporations will learn it’s a dumb choice to needlessly cut off their Linux users but a better choice would be to not play video games where a company can arbitrarily lock you out in the first place. I hope someone is working on a libre version of Apex.
Shooting out of a cannon with the wings hat and flying around in Mario 64 was such a pure fun experience for my kid brain. The switch in music and just soaring around a 3d level was really something special at the time.
I will sing the praises of Windscribe until the day I die. Privacy respecting, affordable and great customer service. And yes, they offer port forwarding as well.
I ended up giving AirVPN a shot - seems like the best option I think. Easy to get openvpn or wireguard set up, and it works great with qbit. Having 5 ports is awesome, have 2 on each of my PCs and one on my phone.
My only issue is I can’t seem to get the port forwarding working with Nicotine+, for some reason it just won’t open the port like qbittorrent does. Downloading works fine, I just doubt anyone can see what I’m sharing
I had trouble using the default port assigned in Nicotine+ too. Try changing the port range to something different if you haven’t already, that’s what got my client working.
I played Watch Dogs 2 back when there were enough players to make it interesting, then Watch Dogs Legion but didn’t enjoy as much as the previous one. Played a couple single-player video games since.
I used to play competitive FPS like CS, but can’t stand competitive games, or more specially the behaviour of people in competitive games these days.
PvE is usually my preference. Starship Troopers Extermination is/was great while it lasted and I’m hoping it has some tidal resurgence with subsequent releases.
Otherwise I play mostly soulsborne games and avoid most of the PvP aspects even with the absence of voice comms, but do prefer that style over anything else.
