Quoting: KimyrielleUnfortunately, that's true. Of the 3,000 games, roughly 2,500 suck very extremely hard. Indie development has brought us gems like Prison Architect and Stardew Valley. But also a lot of people who can barely code Hello World suddenly thought they could be the next game development star and published their drivel on Steam because nobody stopped them. That's actually a huge problem these days, because it's getting harder and harder to find the few good games in the mountain of drivel.

But it's the same for Windows on a much more larger scale. So many scrap games that will never appear for Linux. ;)

Many of the indie games are adorable. For example Typoman which was released on Friday. Some games are also a matter of taste. For example Sky Break. This gets rather negative reviews. But I just like the graphics and the gameplay as it reminds me of Phantasy Star Online.

Not every game is a hit. But even weaker games have their moments. I know only a few games that are really garbage. Most are worth their money.

Quoting: PixelPiThe bottleneck is likely the CPU, more specifically single thread CPU performance. I suspect (didn't actually bother checking) that the added overhead of the OpenGL translation causes a relatively high load in one of the threads and causes latency that limits the fps.

I've a i7 6700K @4Ghz.

Quoting: Xpanderreally? Deus Ex MD runs good? i have places where fps drops down to 25, which is unacceptable.. no matter how low u put my settings.. and i have GTX 1070. Same with Mad Max, rare places, some camps where looking at some specific angles fps tanks to 19-25fps, while other than that its mostly 70+ FPS

I saw these drops in ShadowSigyns stream [External Link] with Tom Raider. She got a GTX 1070. I see the same drops with my GTX 970. And that's why I wonder if it's worth buying a new card at all. There seems to be a bottle neck, which limits the fps on the OpenGL ports, no matter which card one uses.

Quoting: XpanderCroteam FTW! They were the firs to start testing Vulkan in their game also and its now pretty solid and i'm getting huge performance gains with vulkan in Talos, almost 2x perf vs opengl

With an AMD card or Nvidia?

Wow. Hitman 2016. Really? Feral do not make any prisoners. :D

EDIT: "HITMAN FOR MAC IS STANDING BY FOR METAL"

Metal becomes a running gag.

I think DiRT Rally is the coolest racing game ever:

F1 2015 was already cool but I think that is really fun. It's just so realistic.

By the way: Has Feral any plans to bring F1 2016 to SteamOS?

OT: Next Game without Mac support. The list gets longer. Add to this the delayed titles. Seems as if the switch to Metal is anything but smooth. Imagine we had only an obsolete OpenGL stack and a half-finished Vulkan under Linux. Horrible thought. Honestly, I feel sorry for the Mac users.

This is exactly the support Linux needs. In this way Linux gaming will grow slowly and continually.

Quoting: TeodosioThat games is not available on Mac. However, I don't see any threads in the Steam Forum asking for when it will be available.
The GNU/Linux thread had a very large number of posts.
Anybody willing to reason on this?

Jith from Feral discusses here about the Mac port:
