Quoting: Quote from STiATPlayed it a few hours. It's a great game with good story telling (even if it's a linear story). Sadly, at one certain point it keeps crashing on me. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next updates.

At which point is it crashing? I haven't had a crash yet so a heads up would be useful :)

Quoting: Quote from XodetaetlBecause Liam asked :

Quoting: QuoteWhat are you most looking forward to in future from Steam on Linux? Or if you shy away from it, why?

It might also just be the will to speak about a recurrent topic that one's strongly opiniated about. ;)

Whoops... looks like I just stood on a rake! :dizzy:

Wow... definitely a top of the wishlist title :woot:

Scratch that, this one can immediately bypass the wishlist and go straight to the library!

This is not aimed at anyone specifically... I still don't understand why anyone who not only doesn't use Steam but detests what it stands for, would want to post in a thread celebrating it! It doesn't add anything :P

I look at my extensive and expanding list of games and still can't quite believe it! It seemed such a long time coming, with all the rumours and now we're on the verge, with the SteamOS announcement, of an avalanche of (even more) great games :D

Quoting: Quote from SamsaiXpander actually made a nice video about that in which he also showed how you can change the FOV. You should probably check it out

 
Cheers Samsai, you're a star. And Xpander, many thanks.

Samsai - how did you get the fps counter in the corner? I've tried looking for info on this but have turned up a blank.

Thanks.

Quoting: Quote from scaineAnd yet the graphics are absolutely stunning regardless! Actually, in that thread, the lack of tessellation makes most of the textures look more natural. It's the framerates that I find pretty staggering. The fluidity of the game while producing such graphics is really nice. Very smooth.

It's crashed for me twice now, which is disappointing, but I'm about 5 hours in, so it's not particularly prominent. It's just a shame that you can't skip the two minute tunnel intro when you start the game up! Pretty infuriating sitting through that!

Also, akin to the good framerate is that it isn't frying my card either. I get noticeably higher temps from 'Sir, You Are Being Hunted' (a Unity game) where the graphics are not as detailed (but still beautiful in their own way).

I haven't had a crash yet, maybe I'm not in as far, I'll find out shortly! Totally agree on not being able to skip the intro.

Great link, thanks Xpander. I would never have known what I was missing (obviously!).

Can't say it bothers me at all really, I recently replayed all the Half Life stuff (1 and 2) and never once thought "wow, these graphics are bad". Quite the contrary. It must be a combination of not being an uptodate gamer (no Windows or consoles, apart from an original Wii) and being "older", ahem *cough* 8 bit *cough*.

Sorry Samsai, going OT again :P That's for another thread.
