Quoting: GuestIts one animator. They have a large studio, that wouldn't hold up their development pace. This is an excuse just like the Stalker 2 devs are making (who have entirely relocated to Czechia a long time ago). They expect people to buy their games even if they are bad, just because they are "Ukrainian"

This is one of the most cruel posts I've ever seen on this site. I'm deeply ashamed to even post this message myself because I will have interacted with you. I sincerely hope you find some form of happiness soon in your life that'll lift you out of whatever horribleness you're currently in.

edit: also a sad day, first time I've ever used the "block user" function.

Quoting: soulsourceIf one doesn't care about Steam additional features (like Steam Input, Remote Play Together), it's probably more convenient to just get it via the distribution's package manager. I only checked Debian and Gentoo, but they both have it in their official repositories, the package name is "uqm".

I'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed and the official repo doesn't have it, and when I search flathub, all I get is a mod? Is that the full game you're talking about?

This is indeed looking promising! After looking through the notes, here are the two most important items for me:

1- ability to permanently disable rgb everywhere
2- ability to sleep/suspend and resume in the middle of a game same as the Deck does

Both of those are listed in the article as "currently working on" so that's great! As long as those are ticked off, then this will be a VERY interesting Deck competitor. Going to keep my eye on it for sure.

I still haven't actually gone through and finished Metro Exodus yet. Really enjoyed the gameplay and story in the first two though, so I really should do Exodus at some point.

It's a significant departure especially in gameplay from the first two, and IMHO much worse because Exodus is mostly an open-world game with loads of half-assed fetch quests that do not further the story in any way.

I really hope the upcoming VR title will go back to the roots of the first two, and given how badly suited VR is for open-world games I have some hopes that it will not totally suck.

huh I didn't know that. That was the first game in the series I played, and it was interesting at first, and gorgeous! But then it devolved into just the most boring "open world" ever with exactly what you said. So I bounced off that hard, quit, never looked back. I remember thinking "wow, people really seemed to love this series for some reason" ... now I guess I know why!

Can you please let us know how your performance has been on the Deck or desktop? From the steam discussions, lots of people are saying it's almost unbearably bad, but of course, I trust people's opinions here more than there!

This has been my number 1 of all the next fest demos. Can't wait for full release. Awesome on the deck.

I love these Steam Next Fest's! So I tried some demos, and here's how it went:

- homeworld 3: autodected ultra visual settings, ran at 16fps, made me nauseous. Turned it down to high, got to about 20 fps. Turned it down to medium, finally ran at 70+ fps. But now the asteroid in front of me looks like a smooth rubber ball. Needs some MAJOR optimizations. Also I had to accept a crazy amount of legal agreements with a billion pages I'll never read.

- pacific drive: Up until now I was SUPER EXCITED for this, but now I can safely forget it about it forever. 1) Doesn't even run at all on linux. 2) no ultrawide support. 3) even if it did run, everyone else is saying it runs at like 20 fps (but this'll be improved I'm sure)

- bore blaster: holy shit so much fun!!! I'm always on the lookout for something that can scratch that steamworld dig itch, and this isn't exactly the same, but it's SO FUN!!! I can definitely see running this on the deck a lot. This is a definite purchase.

- dungeonborne: can safely forget about this forever as well. Never got to even play it. Doesn't launch, and upon reading the discussions, apparently because of the anti-cheat garbage they use. Oh well.

Quoting: wytrabbitHomeworld 3 is Published by Gearbox (Embracer) 😬

Oh lord, that's terrible news. And as I sit here downloading the demo right now, now suddenly I have almost no interest. Damn.

Quoting: AnzaNight Dive might want to do something. Wouldn't be first time for them to go digging in the vaults.

PLEASE NO. Let them dig around somewhere else, anywhere else, please does someone have a distraction for them? LOOK OVER THERE!
