This is a great game. I got about 12 hours out of late last year without DLC - highly recommended. One word of warning, the primary map is a pretty strange mechanic and you'll find yourself running out of power REALLY quickly. When I first started playing, I thought the whole game was going to a fairly tedious drag.

However, stick at it. You quickly get new ways to recover power, or extend it while exploring. Then the game really opens up. Lots of fun.

Been meaning to pick this up for months since it left Early Access. Still getting regular updates too, which is great.

Warframe has been Gold for me since GE4.1 which fixed everything except the need for xboxdrv, which I required despite having a controller permanently plugged in. The game itself is platinum.

I knew I'd trigger someone. Looks more like Witcher 1? Have you even played Witcher 1?! Don't be absurd. https://youtu.be/1fUGFmmikn4 [External Link]

That video you linked is probably not running on max settings even, but still ther's a difference.. yeah Witcher 1 comparsion was oversaturated, but the difference really is night and day, i have seen both versions (on PS4 pro and on PC) in real life :)

Here more acurate what the difference is:

Holy cow, the water effects are so much better on the PC version. Look at that difference:

So torn! I love the idea, but the execution looks so awkward it's genuinely giving me anxiety to watch. When you know what you want to do in a game, but the motion mechanics makes that difficult by design, I'm not sure I can get behind it. You already referenced it, but it's OctoDad all over again. Or I Am Bread.

I get that some folk find this stuff engaging and fun... but I don't think I'm one of them.

Well, mrdeathjr had a Blazblue screenshot in that comment, so it looks like something has changed that allows it to run!

As for not being confident enough - as Liam notes, just download Lutris! Install Blazblue using the SteamWine option and in the runner options, you should have dxvk 1.5.5 as the "latest" option by default. I've never downloaded dxvk in my life - I either use Lutris, Proton, or ProtonGE (Glorious Eggroll). So much easier.

I think you might still need to enable d9vk though? So in the Steam launch parameters, you add PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command%

I can't remember if that's still needed though. Glorious Eggroll's version of Proton enabled it by default some months ago, so it's a bit confusing to be honest.

Quoting: massatt212is there a project for Windows Media Foundation so we can get more of our games running ?

Yep, you can download it here: https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install [External Link], then install it with (on Ubuntu):
WINEPREFIX="~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXX/pfx" ./install-mf.sh

...where XXXXXX is the app-id of the game you want to install. You can see the app-id of the game by using your browser to find the game on steampowered.com - the app-id is the 6 digit number in the URL. So, for Omensight [External Link], its app-id is 455820.

Quoting: scaine[...] there are MANY times I've bought a (admittedly low value) game just to show the dev a Linux sale and with no intention, or even desire, to play it. That they all counted as Windows sales because Steam can't be bothered to check a user agent is really, really painful.[...]

Same here; even bought some "AAA" titles that I don't really care about all that much, but where I wanted to show that there's a paying Linux audience.
It hadn't even crossed my mind that a user with only Linux selected in their preferences, using exclusively the client for Linux and purchasing using a browser identified as running on, yet again, Linux, might actually count as Windows.

I've only done that once, for Dirt Rally, and luckily it was via Feral's store, so I think I'm okay on that front! Infuriating though.

Almost exclusively browser-purchases here too, and since my backlog is insane, it can take me months to play my purchases. So depressing.

Just editing to add - there are MANY times I've bought a (admittedly low value) game just to show the dev a Linux sale and with no intention, or even desire, to play it. That they all counted as Windows sales because Steam can't be bothered to check a user agent is really, really painful.

Valve have a simple solution to this too - just let us note our "platform of choice" in preferences. Not the filtering option for store purchases, just an option to say "I play on this platform".

But it seems they can't risk pissing off the Windows status quo...
