I still play Gladius from time to time, and a new faction DLC is on its way (probably Eldar).

Mechanicus amazed me mainly because of its vibe, ambience, atmosphere, from the splash screen to the end menu i was in awe, and i’m not specifically fan of Warhammer stuff, just the setting of the game is very well done IMO.

I’d love UFO:AI to bloom again. Years ago i played a beta of version 26 something (i’m pretty sure it end with "6"...), and it was still almost the same beta a few weeks ago when i checked.

Naev main menu says v7, not v8, and there is no "beta tab" on Steam. Did i miss something ?

I played it a few months ago for the last time (and years ago the first).
It is quite fine actually.
One more game to play again.

I’m saying it everytime it pops on GoL, but Vintage Story is still the best of its kind.

Quoting: Liam DaweRun it with the Steam Linux Runtime. Right click -> Properties -> Tick the Steam Play box and pick Steam Linux Runtime. It's the container system for Linux builds, as it seems something on Arch/Manjaro is conflicting with it preventing it running properly. The container fixes it :)

Ah yep, now it works.
Thanks !

Dying Light - 66% off - With the upcoming Hellraid DLC (see our preview), it's going to get even more fun.

Is it supposed to be working well on Linux ?
I’m only getting a black screen with a white line at the bottom, like a loading something.
I thought maybe it’s just long to load, but it’s 10 minutes now, so it’s more like a crash i guess ?

Looks like a squid-RTS, the kind where the faster clicker win. I don’t like, but it’s free and i will try and see if i’m wrong.

Quoting: PatolaLook at immersive games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Metro: Exodus, X4: Foundations, and Half-Life: Alyx (hey, is there any relation between immersive games and a colon?): what would they be without the wonderful 3D graphics? They wouldn't even exist, they would make no sense.

PLEASE. Let's stop pretending good non-flat graphics don't matter.

Well, it’s not pretending, it’s taste, and you can never win the argue of taste.
Some people genuinely like to be slapped to the face when they have sex, some are deeply traumatized just to thing about it. So ? You cannot say your sex is better than mine. Let both have it the way we like, as long as it’s honest.

About listing games with wonderful 3D graphics that are immersive, i can list as many games with wonderful 2D or even no graphics, there are absolutely equally immersive. Do not project YOUR mind on mine.

It’s like "pretending" books without image are less immersive than comics or illustrated stories etc.
Or pretending a good pen and paper RPG is not immersive.

I’m fully immerse when i play Templar Battleforce, Urtuk the desolation, Deity Empire, Terraria, Star Sector, Dwarf Fortress, Fara, Shadow Empire, and many more, AND i’m as well when i play Stormworks, Total Wars, Ravenfield, Titanfall, and many more. Not less, not more, i’m immersed just the same in different ways depending on the game, my mood, etc.

Quoting: 14The amount of 3D games is sad.

Games don't need to be "3D" to be fun.

Ladies don't have to be pretty for you to fall in love with them.
Food doesn't have to be tasty to eat it.
Bed doesn't have to be comfortable to be slept in.(as, in jail for example)

I think it’s unrelated.

A 2D game can be fun, and pretty, and good, and all.
3D vs 2D is a none-issue, barely a matter of taste.
I do like from time to time a technically impressive game, but at the end, i really don’t care.

Also, seeing how tech improves fast, a "good 2D" will age way better than anything 3D.
I remember watching demo of the very first Virtua Fighter, and i was woaaaah !
I’m quite sure in 20 years i will look 2020 best 3D game and think it’s looking old.
On the other end, i can look at Super Mario 1+2+3 today, and still feel the appeal.
