2. Camera moves at some points for better cineastic effects (that plane crashing as shown) and to help when moving (esc. climbing)
3. I wasn't used to QTE and really messed up a bossfight, when aiming perfectly for the wrong time.

Quoting: GuestFirst I thought this was great news, and then I watched some gameplay and read the negative reviews on Steam… Camera moves by itself to take annoying angles, many QTEs (for which you probably need a gamepad), many cutscenes.1. 95% positive and a metascore of 86 is quite shitty, your right.

Really great news. On the downside we have to wait probably 2 months or even longer as usual. Last year I was hoping for TR13 to be released before TR16, but that is obviously impossible now.
Quoting: ZeloxI imagen this is a test, if tomb raider from 2013 sells good, we will see the second game ported aswell.I don't think the game has so much sale potential anymore, I got it for 4€ in 2014 (shame on me, I think it was my last Win only/Wine game), on the Winter sale it was sold for 3€. I will buy the DLC, no doubt.
I hope the port is good, cause the game is really good overall ^^
No, Linux is not at 1900 games on Steam, we didn't get 100 games in nine days

For me there are 1818 games (region blocking: DL is missing eg.) The number 1900+ isn't really wrong, they just have to change their headline ... are out or confirmed.

Quoting: BdMdesigNIf you read the describtion its "ingame credit", so its free to use but has no max price. Therefor it seems to be bit like TF2 item drop and market system, where you can try to play for an item or just buy it.Quoting: GuestYou DON'T must buy the DLC's. So it's free, yes.Quoting: TheBossFree with 52.97€ of DLCs...Quoting: KeyrockThis is but one of a multitude of reasons of why I don't play early access games.Well, it is free.
Garry Newman of Rust and Garry's Mod regrets supporting Linux

I have bought the game myself, but not really played it as I'm too old for sandbox now. I can barely remember a time when Garry's Mod wasn't in the TOP10 bestselling tab on steam. OK the game might be featured cause its published by Valve, but that is also true for about 2 dozen of other games. Concluding: From a financial POV the game has a really high cashflow in the linux game market.
Talos Principle & Serious Sam 3 getting Vulkan updates, Serious Sam 4 will be on a much improved engine

Quoting: psychodriverNvidia 650M, the card is able to do SRIV on medium at 25fps, other games are smoother and the graphics of SS3 aren't even close to Bioshock Infinite, Spec Ops and many more.Quoting: linuxgamerFor me Talos and Serious Sam 3: BFE had a quite low performance. Talos went well as there is very few time depending action, but it was not possible to play a FPS like SS3, so I preferred to get a refund.I'm guessing an AMD thang or you play on a potato. I went through SS3 back on my Athlon II and GTX 460 and it ran beautifully even then. To me it seems like one of the better natively optimized engines.
Quoting: adolsonBut a Talos update to Vulkan is even better news! I am excited to see the difference.Would be great no question, but who has'nt bought Talos already? From the financial POV it will be much better to focus on the performance of the next releases.

Please don't post the numbers especially with 1/10 000th accuracy. With a sample size of ~1000 this makes absolutely no sense.
One survey per month is OK for me.
