I look forward to this exiting beta.

Hype level rising, rising.

I'd be a good hunter because I'm nondescript, which allows me to blend in and remain unnoticed until I strike.

Do want. I hope it happens.

Because you are the wind beneath my wings.

Quoting: subIt looks nice but if it plays like "Myst" I'm out.
Simply hated Myst back in the days.

It plays like Real Myst rather than Myst (i.e. full 3D movement rather than moving from scene to scene. I'd say the puzzles are less obtuse and cryptic also... So far, anyway (keep in mind I'm early into the game).

Edit: Also, Liam, it's not just MATE; I run XFCE and Alt+Tab doesn't work here either, neither do screenshots.

It sucks that we go for a good long while without any new games coming out (well, not any I want to play, anyway) then 3 games I want to play all come out at almost the same time. I know, I know #FirstWorldProblems :P Anyway, I'm going to pick this up once I finish either The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna or Cradle (or both). Luckily, the 10% runs for another week so I may be able to do that and still get in on the sale.

The performance isn't the best, but I got most of the stutter out of it by turning antialiasing down to 2X, I might turn it off completely because it doesn't seem to make much difference. Otherwise my GPU (Titan X) can brute force a decent framerate out of it at 1440p and max settings (minus the antialiasing) most of the time, but it should definitely be running better on a $1000 GPU (yes, I realize it's an outrageously overpriced GPU). It's overall a nice looking game, though it seems a weird choice to have you begin the game staring at one of the most terrible looking textures in the game on the floor (I suppose it makes everything else look better by comparison). There are tons and tons of pictures to look at and nespaper clippings to read and more to find if you move some things around. It's easy to get lost and forget what you're doing just reading things and interacting with objects, but there is a built in hint system (which I've admittedly never used yet). It's an interesting game, very atmospheric and chill, so far, anyway.

I've been playing it for a while and it's great. While no new mechanics have been introduced yet, I'm early in the game and I wouldn't expect any new mechanics until later (hopefully there will be some). The puzzles start off fairly challenging, much harder than the early puzzles in the base game, which is to be expected. Hopefully there are some diabolically challenging star puzzles in the game.

Quoting: NyamiouThat was easy. There is a book called "1001: Video Games You Must Play Before You Die", on the back cover there is Lara Croft. It's a Tomb Raider!!!

The reboot? Ugh. I mean it would be a great get for Linux as it's a big name game and very popular, but I hated that game with a passion.
