I didn't expect that to ever happen. While I didn't yet play any of them, I'm gonna buy it.

Quoting: bekoIt would be similar for me. It's been a long time. But I think it would still be great to revisit the world.Quoting: EikeI thoroughly enjoyed it although I never played the first one. I guess it's even better when meeting some people again after a quarter of a century... :)tbf I wouldn't remember. I mean I did play it and I enjoyed it but that's all I can say today.

Quoting: slaapliedjeOne of us is missunderstood something. Beamboom was talking about Windows/Proton...?Quoting: EikeI would guess some of this is because it has to use Vulkan on Linux, and it seems to work better than OpenGL in general, and converting from DirectX in particular.Quoting: BeamboomIt's also worth noting that VR games - for whatever reason - seem to work particularly well on Proton. There's not many (Windows) VR games at all I've not gotten to work straight out of the box.Interesting observation. Wonder if it's by chance or something systematic. I guess the company's start applications don't play a big role in VR. And maybe something about the 3D they're forced to do right for VR?

I wonder if making Alyx cheaper is making any sense though. :-D Is there a single player that bought a VR set for many hundreds of bucks but didn't want to buy the game that's supposed to be the best for VR?!?

Quoting: robvvI've got to the final episode and have been going through some of the alternative choices I could have made in previous episodes. It's great fun!As PublicNuisance wasn't sure: Is it possible to disable the "timed" aspect of choices?
