Quoting: scaineYeah, single player was a blow, but this is still insta-buy for me. Love the style and I'm a big sand-box fan. Plus, all the co-op mode supporting games I own, I usually end up playing them single-player anyway (hello FortressCraft Evolved!)...

I really hope this ends like a cross between FCE and ARK, which are for me the most played games.
FCE starts where ARK stopped: automation of tedious tasks.
I've heard there also is some story to ARK, and if planet nomads also gets a story line, I am all for it.
My third favorite is planet explorers BTW.
The only thing is: when do I work/sleep/eat?
Hmmm, maybe planet explorers would work on my gpd win (with ubuntu 17.10).

I actually thought it was a big machine until I watched the video.

The title is bad... I thought yet another zombie kill kill kill nostory whatsoever, or another arcade space thing.
Then I went to listen to the story trailer, and the story line sounds absolutely great. I wonder if the game itself is as story rich as the trailer.

we are missing 3 other htc vive users...
(just kidding ;-) ).
If I only needed to buy a vive to start off... Neither my desktop pc, nor my steam machine seem to be well equipped enough to run anything.

Since the new beta version Saints Row the Third doesn't work anymore :-(. Not on steamos as well as not on my gpd win (ubuntu 17.10).

It would be nice if there was a kind of escrow service on steam.
Something like kickstarter:
You can buy the game, the money stays at steam, until there is enough incentive for the developer to act on it. The developer then builds and delivers, and the money is now delivered to the developer.
Or better:
You have money in your steam wallet, with which you can pledge with a 2 or 3 fold over commit.
If the developer decides there is enough pledged, the pledges turn into a commit.
Which means the money in your wallet is reserved and not spendable.
If the developer after that time have a working version, they can pass on the money.
I hate all these fake promises.
But then again, that system will probably going to be abused somehow.

This is pretty sad... On a steam machine it's 61.51 euro if you already have hitman with all the episodes. If I would actually buy it on the steam machine it would result in 58.31 euro.
Now if I look at the website and search for it, it says in the listing 58.31 euro, but on the page itself it says 18.38 euro (20% discount). It lists a price for every item, while on the big picture version all prices are 0.
It feels like the steam store is bugging again, in the same way it was bugging with payday 2. Only with payday 2, it was also on the website completely broken, requiring those that bought almost every dlc to put down another 44 euro due to the 50% discount.
I also still can't even look at the F1 2017 page from the steam machine...

This is great news, and also shows intel and AMD might have a "healthy" business relationship.
It's good for us, as AMD does help opensource, and the bigger the foothold of AMD in the gaming world, the less problems we have with "only works with nvidia because nvidia allows/encourages bugs in our code which every sane driver would not accept".
Of course, there is a world of difference between AMD drivers for windows and opensource drivers for linux. Would be interesting if someone started backporting the vulkan opensource drivers to windows.
I also hope this means intel will help writing the open source drivers.
And what I mostly hope is that this will be in the gpd win 3.
As I just finished a task in saints row 3 with 5..10 frames per second on my gpd win running almost stock ubuntu 17.10 (using some gpd pocket .debs and the gpd pocket kernel).

Hmmm, still can't buy it on steamos... It gives this nice "An error occured" when I try to go to the product page. At least it means the site is probably sharding, as all other games are buyable.

Quoting: jens

Quoting: Alm888Just FYI, I have none.

Then why and on what grounds are you stating in public that the work from Feral or Aspyr is "of outrageous quality"? Being jealous? Are you just a simple soul that repeats random stuff read somewhere else?

Actually, I am not sure if that is meant negative or positive. I know outrageously good, I haven't heard outrageously bad, and I know that "that's an outrage" is meant negative.
I'm not a native (any) english speaker, but I assumed he meant it positive.
As in: the good ports only get on Steam and not on Gog.
