Besides the new rendering features whats the point of this Source Port? Vulkan already exists in GZDoom. Surely they could merge those features into GZDoom itself?
Half-Life Alyx NoVR mod to get a huge upgrade in October

Quoting: GuestMandatory reminder: Not worth playing unless you experienced Half-Life: Alyx in VR first.

That being said, while the mod is bound to stay janky forever, it's impressive seeing that it is still being worked on.

Still, considering that both the base game and custom campaigns are designed for VR, I feel like s&box will supersede this game entirely as far as Source 2 map ports, or new custom campaigns for flat screen go.
Hard disagree. The only VR game which interests me is Alyx. And i refuse to purchase a VR headset just for that game. And thanks to the mod i have already experienced the game and its glorious. When the next update comes out its time for a replay.

I guess you get those exclusive goodies like the Profile Bundle for the 256GB one only when buying the New ones and not the Refurbished ones? At least i dont see those things mentioned.

Rainbow Six Siege support is all i ask for.
Morrowind modern game engine OpenMW 0.48 is readying to release

Quoting: GroganI would imagine Morrowind is even more of a hard core RPG than Oblivion, which I found a bit too confusing (I didn't get far). When I reach a point in an RPG where I haven't a clue what I'm supposed to be doing, or where I'm supposed to be going, I tend to have resistance getting back to it.

All the same, I think I'm going to buy it on GoG to have another open source game (well, the programming parts... not the license for the content)

I still have my beloved Doom 3 because of RBDOOM-3-BFG (instead of having to use workarounds for the Windows version in Steam)

P.S. In this case it's more practical to buy it on Steam

1) I just want the data and I intend to copy it out of there then uninstall the game. Steam will just download it inline, whereas with the GoG download I'll have to set up a prefix and, run the installer and then copy the data.

2) Morrowind GOTY is $7.99 on Steam and $19.99 on GoG :-)
You could just use innoextract to get the files. No need to install it via wine first.
Half-Life Alyx NoVR continues to impress and evolve

Well, bought HL:A thanks to the NoVR mod i can finally enjoy it, since i refuse to buy a VR headset just for 1 game. Yeah i probably miss out on a lot, but who cares. Lets just hope that when Valve will make a new Half-Life game (i can dream right?) that it wont be VR exclusive.

I know its kinda off topic but since the Intel Cards got mentioned: Against what could you compare an ARC 750/770?
Half-Life: Alyx fully playable without VR even on Steam Deck thanks to a mod

FINALLY you can play it without VR, yeah i understand its not optimal and whatnot but: Since i will never own a VR System, simply because its too expensive also the only game which interests me is HL-Alyx. Also i probably have not enough space in my Room to set up such system with how many things you need to use it optimal.
