Quoting: CorbenAh, now with Steam Play usage ;)That was added before this month's charts were done, hopefully the 1st Feb charts will have a good increase in the amount of people answering it so we can see how reception to it has been.
(Or I've just not seen it before ^^)

Feral's racer ports on the other hand are lush and very smooth.

Quoting: YoRHa-2BThen again, not getting anywhere near 60 FPS on your kind of hardware isn't exactly excusable either.Agreed and I was only on the "High" preset, graphically it's not even that pretty a game or doing a whole lot so yeah, i did expect at least 60+ and smooth.
Let's hope that VP gets to port a decent game for a change, soon, and do a better job than they apparently did with MXGP3 and this.

I've seen numerous gamers on Windows mentioning stutter too, so I don't think it's specifically to do with the port. The game just doesn't perform well for quite a number of people.

Quoting: TcheyI like this game because it's really unique and quit facinating, but i'd have prefered a turn based model, instead of realtime with sometimes a click-fest party.That's probably my main issue with it, I feel constantly panicked by the timers.

Quoting: NezchanBut is it still bland? I was told it has no identity. :DYes. ;)
Just over a year after the last main release, Wine 4.0 is officially here

Quoting: KimyrielleIn contrast to real life wine, this particular kind of wine is better consumed fresh rather than old, so I guess most of us are using dev builds anyway. But it's great to see that the stable version is out now, so they can once again go to work on new features and improvements! I am really curious to see what they can come up with in the 4.x series, after the giant leaps made in 3.x! :)Indeed, the 4.0 release is going to be a very interesting one to try and top but as we know it can be improved practically everywhere still. They do face an uphill battle against a moving target after all, especially when it comes to games which all have their own special issues.

Quoting: MayeulCThe release notes specifically say for Mesa versions prior to 19, so versions below 19. Likely because Mesa 19, as noted has an improvement for it directly.for those of you using Mesa, you should see "drastically improved memory usage" for versions of Mesa below 19So, is it below as written, or above, as I previously thought?
I’m in shock at just how well Overwatch runs with the latest DXVK and Lutris

As always, it's a subjective thing. For some it matters, for some it doesn't. To outright say it doesn't matter though, I think is a little close-minded.

Quoting: DribbleondoI get you have a strong opinion on it, but I feel people who care a lot about a specific game tend to (unintentionally) put themselves in a box about it in relation to anything else.Quoting: bgh251f2Did you just pull the diversity card?! Seriously? Mat Pat tried that in a deadlock video and...well it didn't go well for him. Making your game more diverse does not make it any better.Quoting: DribbleondoAll men, all masculine, all stereotypes from 20 years ago.Quoting: liamdaweYes, A mad scientist medic who uses a healy-beam medi-gun to heal people, a soldier who can rocket jump and is overly patriotic to the extreme. The scout who is cocky and boastful 24/7, The spy, enigmatic, hard to play, and very rewarding when played well. Totally boring classes that have different weapons for different situations. The game has character, you're just not seeing it.Quoting: kuhpunktI just don't see it. To me, TF2 has such a basic and uninteresting design to it. It has as much character as any other shooter out there. I mean, just look at the classes, they're extremely generic. You have a Medic, a Soldier and so on. Where's the character in that? There is none.Quoting: liamdaweBut it already had great vibrant characters 10 years before Overwatch, and they already had shorts about the characters and comics and... hats! Many many hats! :(Quoting: Dribbleondo> TF2 feels like it has no identity, it feels…bland.I've no doubt plenty will, what games people like is a very subjective thing.
Strongly and violently disagree.
They are diverse for the time they where created. Now, they are bland and lack any interesting characteristic for me.
