Quoting: HoriA cool feature I'd like to see is an integrated Steam Controller configurator. SC is IMO the best controller out there, but it's not (much or at all) better than an XBox Controller without it's configurability.

It doesn't need it's own utility to do that, there's this one.

I don't really understand why developers can't wait ~two months just to release them altogether, I find it a bit odd, but they must have their reasoning.

For a small developer the reasoning seems obvious. You want your product out of the door and making money as soon as it's finished.

Then surly you want it out on more platforms right away to get even more money? Same logic ;)

Sure, if all platforms were ready at the same time. Seems like they weren't though. No reason to sit on the Windows version while Aaron works on the Linux port.

Yeah I know. It's just the usual for us, but it would still be nice if porters were able to get in early enough so that we don't see delays.

It's not exactly a long delay, which is more my point.

Quoting: Mountain ManThis is the first DLC that actually looks like it's worth the admission price.

Also, the performance improvements in the patch, while seemingly minor, could have a big impact, especially the one bug that was apparently causing some effects to render twice per frame.

Performance improvements would be great!

So this DLC adds part of what XCOM:Enemy Within added, minus the genetically enhanced soldiers and other stuff that EW had. I wonder if next we'll get the enhanced soldiers, too.

Yeah, still waiting for the complete game and hoping it will end up being a coherent, flowing game instead of a mess with all these little DLCs all over. I hope they fall into place to create the full picture of what this game is supposed to be [External Link].

You can already change soldiers with mind powers, has been in XCOM 2 since day 1. They are Psi Operative soldiers.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI want to like Itch in everything they do. Certainly a model for Steam and others to follow. But a quick glance at their catalog reveals it dominated by dating sims and romantic visual novels. Or am I just crazy?

There is a lot of cruft on it due to the low barrier of entry, their sorting options generally help you find the good stuff though.

Quoting: SmalokiAlso, since the article doesn't make it clear: this project aims to work for both Gothic and Gothic II (which makes sense, since the two games use pretty much the same engine).

I've made that clearer now, the github only really mentions it at the bottom in the code section so I didn't really notice.

Quoting: cprnSorry for kind of unrelated question but version 15.0 on my machine doesn't show "Game" in list of possible sources - do I have to install some library or plug-in? I used "Window" and it worked with XCOM: Enemy Unknown but didn't with e.g. Limbo...

Do you mean when selecting a source for the Window capture the game isn't listed?

Works fine for me:

Quoting: GBeeThe best way to silence a troll is to ignore them? Then why have you dedicated a whole news item on a popular site to him?

You honestly didn't get it?

The note about ignoring them is a sidenote and not the main focus of the article. It's aimed to remind people who are quoting and replying to the troll which feeds them and make it worse.

I thought this was clear, but needing to repeat this only shows the note in the article was needed.

Quoting: XaeroVincentIMO, it makes more sense to buy an Alpha R2 then put SteamOS or another distribution on it instead of buying the Steam Machine at this point.

Definately not, because the hardware is the same. You can connect the graphics amplifier to the Steam Machine, you just need to support yourself. Because of lack of Windows license to spend money on, the Steam Controller and the game bundle, the Steam Machine is way preferable over installing SteamOS on the Alpha R2.

The more important thing here is buying the Steam Machine tells Alienware it's a sale for SM/SteamOS and not Windows.
