Download the demo for fun. Looks cute but It required a controller. Won't work at all with a keyboard+mouse.

I already bought them on special in Steam one by one. For this price, it is a steal. I will have got them right away. I have played all of them, multiples times. Crysis 3 is my favorite with impressive graphics and original game play. Warhead was the weakest one. All run perfectly in Manjaro Kde. I wish they had continue the series.

Sadly this version doesn't work for me. My preferred game (Wolfenstein Old Blood) crash immediately on start. Back to 5.11 which works perfectly. Seems that every second wine version is bad. Thank God it is super easy to revert (Manjaro downgrade).

Quoting: armageddon51I just update to 5.9 in Manjaro. The mouse input is borked in Wolfenstein, making it unusable. Return to 5.8 which is fine.

Ah well 5.10 then.

The Wine team has recognize the problem and it is fixed in 5.10 apparently. It affect a lot of games. Why 5.9 was release with such a massive issue in the first place ?

Quoting: armageddon51Cpu L caches also have a big impact on performance. One may argue that the additional caches are for the 3600 two extra cores but the processor is pretty smart in allocating caches to different processes. Currently the 2600 is $174 at Newegg. It is a though choice but the pricing of the 3300X at $120 is pretty much on the spot.

Caches aren't really important in current video games. Obviously a few years from now this may change, but a few years from now you will probably be upgrading the 3300X anyway... What matters most is the speed/latency of those caches, for gaming purposes. And i think since both cpus are of the same architecture they will feature similar speeds. Cache would play a huge part if it was cache for the igpu part of an APU, other than that, the vast majority of games are more than fine with 3300X levels of cache.

Sorry man but that's the most ridiculous statement I ever read. Which one is it, "caches are not important" but their "speed/latency" is. High speed caches (read expensive) are use for every single cpu instruction. That's one of the major problem for modern cpu. They are so fast that getting the instructions/data in time is problematic. The cpu will be at a standing still if it has to fetch this information from the main memory. Yes the faster and the bigger the caches, the faster it goes. It's not important in gaming ??? Good luck with you "cacheless" cpu, if you ever found one. You may be able to play Ping Pong.

Quoting: Jiskinjust tried it... lot of lags, poor video quality (especially if you have a 4k screen). My controller is recognized but is not working correctly on Destiny 2...
I think I won't test it for long.

What is your internet speed ? That'll be nice if people commenting will also put this information because frankly this is the defining factor.

I have a 15/10 connection in Canada and it's pretty playable. D2 stutter a little bit but it's quite enjoyable. It seems to play better on Linux (Manjaro) then Windows on Chrome. Now I am sure this is going to put pressure on Steam to lower their price as a Google war is brewing. I would't be surprise if Steam launch a similar model too. Of course that will demand a huge investment in cloud services. Man I'll be happy not to drop those outrageous $1000 on a video card or download 80 GB of stuff. If it's successful, that a "game" changing event.

Quoting: Doc Angelo

Quoting: armageddon51There is a windows demo but sadly no Linux, yet.

There is a Linux version available for download. It's right there along with the other versions. The link is in this article.

I was talking about the Titanic demo.
