Quoting: GuestAnyone playing tw:warhammer, hollow knight, tomb raider etc. with it? What is your experience? Is it easier to set the vertical and horizontal camera angle with it compared to an xbox-like controller? I'd problems with controllers at 3rd person action games and I'm interested if the sc could solve that.

I find it great for Tomb Raider like games. But I warn you: the first five minutes using it will be very confusing and uncomfortable. Just relax and be patient. After you are over the steep learning curve (a few days to a week), you will find it a nice tool for the job of playing certain types of games.

And if you find yourself feeling handicapped in some games for using it, remember that the PC platform allows you to use just what you like for whatever game you are playing, a luxury not available on the consoles.

I bought it after this and it's fun, but the return to the start of the levels is not. The developers lost a opportunity here to make a insanely fun game because of that.

Hum, looks like Feral are getting sloppy. It was removed from the cover of this magazine:

Ah, now I remembered Search and Rescue, that had a Linux version but later became Windows only. It was a non violent game, were you needed to rescue people under difficult conditions. Too bad that style of game never became mainstream.

I hope they do a good gamepad support. The video only shows it being played with mouse/keyboard, witch is a Serious® no-no for me for this type of game.

Personally, I always used KDE. But I find funny when people say Unity was a disaster, when the students in my lab never showed problems using it. Very easy to learn DE if you ask me.

I don't believe, for now, that what we will see in 18.04 will be a stock Gnome 3. I downloaded a ISO from Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 to check it out and my God, what a mess was that. It is too alien for a new user, make no sense for those who came from a tradicional desktop Like Gnome 2 or KDE, exactly like the mistakes Microsoft did with Windows 8, but in a different form. And what STUPID thing to disable by default "tap to touch" option? Now I understand why people did fork the hell of Gnome 2.

With that said, I bet Cannonical will put a makeup in Gnome 3 to make it look like Unity. If not, they will loose more users than they already have.

Twin stick shooters are my Achilles heel with the Steam Controller. Any other type of game I can play almost as good or better than a traditional joypad, but this type of game make me suffer.

But that is okay. I believe in the right tool for the job mantra and that's why I have more than one controller.

The gamepad support is bugged for me. Tested with Xbox 360, One, Steam Controller and Logitech F710, all with the same problem of misconfigured axes and buttons.

The game don't allow you to do alter the gamepad settings, and the config files do not show a gamepad section to modify.

It's a old bug, I got it before this big upgrade, witch is a shame because now the game looks very good and much more polished than it was before.

Last week Phoronix did a benchmark of a embargoed "port". Since the results showed a very heavy program being tested, I bet this is it.

On the plus side, a new engine to push developers to optimize the OpenGL 4.5 side of drivers, another engine besides Deus Ex to look into.
