Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesOk. I'm sure that there are some people that find it interesting. That was only my experience. And also what the guy who gave it to me concluded: people wasn't willing to give 1€ to play with it. They would try it and they were like: "Ok, interesting... but let's play Dota!". At the end he sold all the VR sets.I find the technology and what it does with my (and other people's) brain nothing less than incredible. I do not own a headset and cannot judge what develops on the gaming side, though. In the end, people won't buy it for incredible technology and brain f**k, but when and if playing games on it is big fun. Either way people should give it a try when having the possibility.

It's like after sitting in front of the monitor for years or decades, you are finally stepping into it.

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesIf you thought you were missing something because you didn't have a chance to test it, I assure you, you didn't.I'm assuring the opposite. Do try it.

Quoting: GuestThis is a strange move, these companies predominantly make PC games that simply wouldn't work as well on console, they can't be buying them to make xbox exclusives, asking them to make xbox exclusives would be like asking a man to dance on one leg. These companies also only make games that wouldn't benefit at all from using apis like dx12 or vulkan, they're just not that graphically intense.Pure speculation ahead: If I had about infinite resources and wanted to rival Bethesda, but CDPR isn't for sale, I'd buy some third person 3D company(s) and some RPG company(s), dumb down the RPG part to the max, and voilà... an exclusive DX12 3D RPG - and great RPG developer talents wasted to the max.
I'm not seeing their plan here, I'm not seeing a lot of their plans these days and it makes me a little nervous.

Quoting: tuubiI don't get all these doomsday attitudes. We probably won't see any more games from these developers on our platform (which certainly makes me sad as a fan), but that's all this means.With Larian not Porting Divinity 2, that's basically a whole genre (classic CRPGs) gone, no?

I intended to buy several of their games... when I realistically could have time to actually play them. Wonder what to do now. Guess I'll buy them now instead of later, still guessing my money will enrich MS in the end.
Richard Garfield on 'Upkeep Kills' in Valve's card battler Artifact

Quoting: Salvatos- The player's turn is divided in phases. Typically there's a "start of turn" where a few things happen automatically to set you up for your turnI'm surprised by the term "upkeep" for this phase.

Quoting: GuestI'm pretty fond of card games because I like theorycraftingI wonder if that's the very reason I never got attracted by such games. :)

Quoting: HadBabitsI remember being open mouthed when discussing homelessness with a co-worker who simply said "I'd just get a job until I could afford a place to stay."A colleague of mine stated homeless people are all romantic clochards preferring the free life...

Quoting: rickownsbut at the end of the day if you really want to play the game are you willing to wait for something that might never happen? Or just simply go to steam, buy and play right away?Not commenting on Gog or Steam here, but if I wouldn't be willing to wait or resign sometimes, I wouldn't be playing on Linux in the first place. (On the other hand, you'll have to draw a line somewhere...)
