But the biggest drawback for me is short analog stick - makes racing games really difficult - it may be so because I've been using Logitech gamepads for years but still - I quickly switched to steering with gyroscope.
In fact, the Gyro for racing games is probably the best part. :)

I don't know for Dirt Rally but for Grid Autosports... For my part, awesome!

And I finished both Metro games with SC with the Gyro for precise aiming. Works great too.

Edit: Bad reading from my part. Duh!

No they misspoke during that livestream and this has been cleared up a few times. To make it clear i've put a note at the top of that article.
Oh sorry! Didn't got that one. I still had the unupdated version of this article in mind.
Still it's sad. This game could have used the vulkan performance boost over OpenGL.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and before that Mad Max (finished). I must be an easy prey because I found both games awesome. I don't understand all the negative critics Deus Ex recieved... Was it updated to correct the flaws?

Got Rive from Humble monthly... Played with it a couple of minutes to find out it was more like half an hour... Could easily get hooked up to this one. :)

Next up... Hitman!

Quoting: LeopardAt some point you will see people will prefer Ms store to Steam.
Amongst the Xbox console owners, true. But only those. And that will not change - Steam will never be able to offer a cross play to that segment anyway.

But yeah - it's of course a good thing for those with both a Steambox and a Windows PC.
That thing will be much more strong argument i guess,which MS do their own platform exclusive titles now and then.

So if you want to play them,you must stick with MS solutions.If you start to invest a platform or a store,it will be hard for to let it go.Just look at the Apple ecosystem,most of the people are highly bounded with them because people don't want to buy their paid apps once more.

That threat is so strong,only PlayStation and Origin can survive this because they have some kickass exclusive games.
Just to add to the discussion...

It seems that Microsoft is gearing up to push UWP to it's full potential... Usually it starts like that and in a future update becomes mandatory. That's Microsoft's usual way of imposing stuff.

Quoting: chuzzle44I want to be excited, but Grid Autosport taught me that I can't drive. Beautiful, amazing game, and all I can do do is spin and crash my way through the game. Here's hoping for a good arcade racer.
Have you tried Dirt Showdown? That's quite Arcade to me and real fun. :)

Oh yes! Spacious skies, you'll be mine! :)

Looking forward to test the Steam Controller gyro on this one! It makes an awesome steering wheel in Grid Autosport.

Thanks, but I wasn't the one who had trouble starting the game after a crash. Restarted fine every time. I don't intend to replay the game now that it's done either. Thanks for trying to help though.

I'm in software development as well btw. You'll find there's probably a higher percentage of (professional and hobbyist) developers on this blog than your average gaming site, due to the Linux focus.
Thanks for the support. In fact it happened only 2 or 3 times in my 70+ hours of gameplay. Not really bothersome and I didn't meant it has a complain either. I was just stating what I witnessed during those crashes. The game is quite playable as is.
