Not a fan of the points but we'll see what they do with them.

I picked up several games:
SteamWorld Dig 2 [External Link] (Linux)
Distance [External Link] (Linux)
Cave Story [External Link] (Linux)
20XX [External Link] (ProtonDB Platinum)
Quake III Arena + Team Arena [External Link] (ProtonDB Platinum + Gold)

All of them are pretty cheap (5 - 7.5 euros). I have too many games in the backlog to buy expensive games that I won't play until 1-2 years from now anyway :D

I played the game half a year ago in Linux (Manjaro + AMD + Nvidia). It works great.

Not only that, the game is great. I don't know how they could have done it better.

Thank you for letting me know about this DLC!

I like playing these kind of games with my gf but it's really difficult to find games that are... you know, games. It's always visual novels with no gameplay elements. Or reeeeally terrible games.

So if I can read about these kind of games here that would be great! I'll keep an eye on this one.

Quoting: saturnoyoI love rhythm games and Eurobeat is always a plus but I'm not sold on the "buttons flying around" approach.

I know that there are lots of rhythm games that do that but it looks like a mess. I have never played one of these before so maybe once you are in the action it makes sense.

Also, I would be using the xbox controller's layout and, at least for me, it is not as recognizable as the PlayStation's layout. Again, personal preference, but the different between X, Y, A and B is more difficult to recognize than the difference in PlayStation's shapes (round, square, triangle and cross). Of course that's not really the game's fault.

Anyone would like to share experiences with similar games?

The game has an option to use PlayStation buttons, you can even make your own icon packs.

Regarding similar games, Project DIVA is where this game takes inspiration from.

Full disclosure: I made this game.

Thanks for clarifying that, it's great having you here.

While you are here let me ask you, are there any plans to do any kind of co-op content for the game (not competitive)?

I'll keep an eye on the game, thank you for supporting us!

Over the internet? Yes, co-op gameplay would be possible, and in fact should be fairly easy to do, however on the same machine I don't think it would work (if you have a split screen notes are too hard to see, if you play in the same screen it's a mess). But yes, online co-op is something that I might do.

Nice! Thank you again for the info.

Good luck with your game, I hope it goes great!

307 hours.

I'm in the middle of a new farm with a friend. I started playing on 2017 and I replay it from time to time with friends. Playing it alone is just not fun anymore.

My gf finally got a pc so we will play it together soon too.

This game is perfect. Eric is amazing.

Quoting: orochi_kyoValve really knows how to middle finger their fanbase. Their next game will be exclusive for some new Valve hardware only a few have access, maybe it could be the Valve wheel, Half Life Carting. Or the Valve guitar, Half Life Soundtrack Best hits. Both Valve guitar and Wheel will cost only 1000$ each, quite cheap.

VR is huge deal. Valve released the best VR headset and controller available in the consumer market, the controller can be used with the HTC Vive, they work with Linux.

They promised 3 games for it. Everyone was always saying how bad it was that Valve almost stopped making games, now we may get 3 games from them.

They will even give Index's owner the game for free.

And you think this is a middle finger to their fanbase?

I don't have an Index but the trailer looks great and I'm really happy to know that Valve seems to be pushing VR. Currently this could be the best game for VR.

So, I couldn't disagree more. I can understand you if you think VR is like a Nintendo gimmick but for some of us this is the future.

I was gonna write a long text about how I feel about VR, but I would bore even myself. TLDW; I love VR but I don't see anything that pushes me to buy it.

Maybe this is the first of many things that will finally push most people to VR.

We'll see, it's difficult to trust Valve but the Index is a great product and it won't matter if they don't make something great to play with it.
