Quoting: EhvisIt seems odd that Valve would be actively helping with competition for the Vive. Maybe this is something different. Maybe a Hololens type thing to complement the VR set?

Wasn't Vive presented as the first example of Steam VR?
Either way, it's good to see more companies stepping into the ring.

Quoting: tuubiThat is the question. My most played game on Steam happens to be Mad Max at ~90h and I cannot imagine investing much more than that on a single game. I'm sure some online games take a lot more time and dedication, which is probably one reason I never properly got into any of them.

After about a hundred hours, I'm fed up with even the best single player games. Multiplayer is something different, you can always have different experiences when the opponents are humans.

Quoting: GuestExcept that’s not why all countries around the world have huge debts. I’m not sure why you feel attacked and are trying to ridicule me. You should read about money creation.

I don't feel attacked. I'm wondering about strange concepts of the world and show what's strange about them. You were talking about debt being artificial. Debt is the concept of "I give you something but you must give it back." It is very natural.

Is money creation part of the game?

Quoting: GuestI like that it has a good tutorial (according to this review) as that’s the reason why I couldn’t play CK2 and stopped Tropico 5 in the middle of the tutorial. However the mention of having to manage these artificial creations that are "unemployment" and "debt" tells me it’s a game that simply follows the existing broken system in place in the real world and as such isn’t very interesting.

Yeah. Totally artificial, this concept of "I give you something but you must give it back."
I'm sure it's extremely hard to explain to a two year old or an Neandertal man. Not.

Hm...!

I liked Shadow of Mordor, but got bored over time with its Ubisoft formula. So I just played through the main story in the second half. I wonder if I should do the same with this one. Either case it would be great to have it ported on Linux!

Quoting: tomasjUnfortunately I am encountering bug with Hitman.
I am running Debian Stable and NVidia. Graphics is OK with no glihch, but control is unusable.

Even in menu, when I move with mouse it is flashing all the time. When mouse is steady, cursor will disappear.
Additionally for some reason game is thinking that I am holding UP arrow and LEFT key. So when I start the game, hitman is walking in circle :D

Can somebody help me?

Just guessing, but do you have a controller plugged in that might interfere?

Quoting: GuestThat's the most gimmicky thing I've ever heard of. A level that is only available to play for a certain period of time and only lets you try it once? How about no, and take back control over your own games. Glad I didn't support this. Publishers need to learn to stop ruining games with their gimmicks. Let us play them when we want, how we want, with no strings attached.

This would be quite some effort for a single play, so I'd guess it's not a new level, but a new task in an existing level.

Having only one chance to do it adds much to the excitement, I guess!

My brother gave me his GTX 780 (same level as GTX 970 [External Link] because he wanted to buy a new card for VR...

I wondered the same and didn't find a price.
I guess it will be free. Or they take a little donation, let's see.

Quoting: TacoDeBossWell, under Windows at least, yeah, you'd probably gain 15-30 FPS in every game. Don't know under Linux, most people don't do CPU gaming benchmarks under Linux.

Why do you think so? AFAIK, most games aren't CPU bound in the first place and shouldn't profit. And those that are probably don't spawn enough thread with enough work for 6 or 8 cores...
