Rage 2 is going to be free on EGS in couple days, pretty big title if you want to use proton and heroic launcher (or the cmd line legendary).

Wonder how long it will be until this rolls out in Manjaro main distro. Outside of the -git packages which I've had issues with before (some apps compiled against the main non-git version).

If they can figure out why performance drops/tanks in areas for AMD RNDA2 (maybe other amd cards) then I'll be over the moon.
KCD and GTA5 were good test cases when directly comparing 4k fps drops below 60fps with that of windows performance, making it obvious there is a issue.

I gave up on coop random drop ins long time ago. Also I don't know anyone who plays games that I do so basically I'm a solo guy these days.

Valheim lets you deform the ground, and basically everything looks and feels very arcade like.

I still don't understand why this game is so popular, is it the large coop functionality? I also am not a huge fan of the retro fortnite style graphics. (and gameplay in the sense of construction and mining).

I like the name. There are a few of these vehicle physics simulation games abouts these days.

The best one from what I understand is the Spintires one and its siblings because it actually has objectives and gameplay going on (and multiplayer).

Having a sandbox mode editor is all good and well but going that extra step to make a actual fun game and story out of it all is whats needed to really stand out these days.

It's the whole business model that is the problem. They are offering people a opportunity to RENT games at retail prices, plus a monthly subscription on top. PLUS you need good internet and be close to one of their servers...

It's just not very attractive, at least things like NVIDIA's and Shadow streaming services they let you use other stores if you want and have some bonuses sprinkled in, plus titles you buy are not restricted to just cloud gaming and are not simply rented.

Unless there is massive change in how they do their business model, and also have more local server access points, Stadia is going to have a rough time.

In saying that I'd love to see a open-sourced Stadia development model where anyone can try out their Linux based render tech. That might help dev interests allot..
But atm Google are like 'all your base belong to us', oh and please give us money.... yeah, nope.

Quoting: GuestYou can still pay for and play games without the monthly fee, and sometimes there are even sales.

None of which is cross-platform, none of which is advertised very well anywhere but on Stadia. Lots of strings attached to that whole package, UNLIKE other steaming platform options!

I challenge people to actually TRY the other options... There are many,.
