Quoting: GuestYep, 99% of the market trumps the 1%.

It's 3% not 1%!

It's something like 1-2% still, looking at the Wikimedia stats [External Link] and ignoring the mobile OS's (with the mobile OS's included in the total that the %s are calculated against it's 0.3% non-Ubuntu desktop Linux, 0.2% Ubuntu, 0.4% Chrome OS).

Not very reliable, is it?
That is just the visitors of the wikimedia sites.
Netmarketshare accumulates from over 30,000 sites ;)

No time to test it?
Well, that speaks volumes...

What is the actual downside of playing a synthetic race?
Seems pretty overpowered at first sight.

Quoting: liamdaweWell that depends what difficulty you're on and how good/bad your run is going.

I don't remember the name, but I always pick one above the normal difficulty. The "hard" equivalent, if you will.

I could really only see you getting short on bullets in the very beginning and if everyone is using guns instead of other weapons. But in that case, it would completely be your own fault. Besides, I don't even think all the NPCs are good with guns.

Good review and I agree with all points except:

Another letdown with the combat, is the inability to switch weapons. If you have half of your group wielding guns and you manage to run out of ammo, you’re completely out of luck. That ruined one of my runs pretty quickly and it was a little annoying. It felt like artificial difficulty, considering bullets are also the currency.

Erh, what? 2 hours in the game, you are basically swimming in bullets. Not once in the game was I short on them and I wasn't even grinding, just visiting locations as I went from A to B.
If anything, you have far too MANY bullets.

And I actually think the combat is a good example of how to do combat on a tiny budget. Fancy animations aren't really needed.

Quoting: ImFromMostonHave they decided to fully support their own controller yet.. or is it still the half assed implication its been, pretty much since launch.

You're going to need to elaborate on what issue(s) you had with it. It's been flawless for me.

Yeah, never had any problems with it, either.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPDo you still have to disable the Steam overlay because it just keeps freezing the game (if you are lucky and it doesn't freeze the entire system)?
Especially when using its browser (which is the only thing I use it for, easier than alt-tabbing).

what? never seen it freeze a game or entire system. but it does make small fps hit on some games

I wish I had never seen it, but it happens once every few hours on both my laptop and main machine (which have both different hardware and linux distributions), as well as on the laptop of my GF.
And it happens far more often when using the browsers.

No idea what causes it but I'm willing to try again when the new Steam client is no longer beta.
