    Holy shit, that game is ten years old already? Getting older is an absolute mind fuck, man.

      Yeah, I saw it said minimum requirements include Windows XP and was like WTF?

        Better gameplay, less shocking story, but still good. Stick has more story stuff from early seasons, fractured has more story stuff from later seasons.

        Both games are good, hard to pick which one is overall better, but if you are more familiar with earlier or later seasons, that might sway you.

          I’ve actually played through The Stick of Truth, many years ago. I seem to remember enjoying it. Fractured but whole has sat on my wish list for years because it seemed to have a high price for many years after its release and I also read some poor reviews.

          I went to look it up again since you seem to think it’s pretty decent, but it seems it’s pretty hit or miss on linux (works great or doesn’t at all) because of all the ubisoft crap. I guess I can give it a go and refund it if it doesn’t work, but all the extra DRM crap is a bit off putting.

            Seems like it should work according to a recent report on protondb. The most recent report says to just set launch options in the Steam menu:

            https://www.protondb.com/app/488790

            Edit: launch options are not needed on an updated Steam Deck (Stable channel, OS 3.6.20) as of 12/28/2024. You do have to have an Ubisoft account. Otherwise, current default settings work fine.

              Yeah but looking back through, many people have issues where it doesn’t start, and there are some where it worked and then suddenly didn’t. The problem is there are lots of Linux setups, everyone has things a little different.

              If it was some indie game I’d try harder, but it’s ubisoft and the problems seem to stem from their third party DRM crap so I’m not that enthused to give them money.

                Cool. I’m mostly mentioning it for anyone else who wonders if it works because it does on the Steam Deck.

                Also, looking back at older reports (in this case literally a year ago vs. two months ago) isn’t usually a very productive use of time. Things get updated and people leave new updated instructions pretty consistently.

    It’s censored for me here in Australia, but at that price, not sure I care :)
