Quoting: GuestWhy don't you just make a rational argument? :/Quoting: kuhpunktIf they were just like every other trepel ayeee company they would make yet another card game because heartstone and gwent did it over doing something elseQuoting: Guesti'm implying that valve could have made something much better then yet another digital card game that got them booed out of the building when they first announced itAgain, one doesn't exclude the other. Valve consists of many smaller teams. Just because one team created Artifact doesn't mean the other teams aren't creating other games.
Quoting: Guestno one not even die hard dota 2 fans asked for or even wanted this gameSo?
Quoting: Guesthonestly it's just yet another digital card game when it could have been something better like a whole new franchise from valve that proves they don't need half life to make the next great gameIf they were EA they would crank out another Half-Life every year.
but now it seems like valve just wants to be another EA imo

Quoting: GuestThe fact that valve would rather do this over giving the fans what they really want(half life 3 or anything that is not gwent with dota 2 characters) from valve speaks volumes to how much valve actually cares about the people that play valves gamesOne doesn't exclude the other.
someone had to say it

But if a seperate OS has to be booted from like an USB drive... will you still get access to the VCS internal storage? Like if you try to use SteamOS and it would have to get all the game data through USB, that's not great.
Not expecting much, but I wish them luck.

Quoting: mirohmm indeed that does not look like Xen, it has (men-made?) structures - afaik the original Xen from HL1 is not built this way.It was never their intent to rebuild Xen as it was. The folks at Valve weren't satisfied with Xen either...
Valve has expanded the Steam Play whitelist to include DARK SOULS III and plenty more

Quoting: CybolicHe said DROPBOX, not DOSBOX. Can't you read? :PQuoting: ArehandoroI wonder why it's easier to whitelist Star Wars - Dark Forces rather than using Dropbox like the GOG version. Good to see so many games whitelisted though :DBecause using DosBox requires a separate Linux depot, a custom DosBox setup and testing of the whole thing whereas using Proton just requires it to be tested, verified to work and then setting which version of Proton it was verified to work with; no changes need to be made to the game files / distribution.

Reports: Valve making their own VR HMD and apparently a new VR Half-Life

Quoting: poisondYou can aim much faster than with a mouse - just point your controller at the target.A mouse is faster for aiming. You just have to slightly move it to turn around and all that stuff.
There's touch pads you can use for movement and turning.
And I don't even know what you'd want a keyboard for in a VR game.

Quoting: poisondYeah, it "worked." But there's still a shit ton of cognitive dissonance. Why else do you think is it that not all FPS have been updated with a VR mode by now? It's been more than 2 years.Quoting: kuhpunktOf course it works. I've played HL2 with KB&mouse on the DK2.Quoting: EikeYeah, and that doesn't work. I mean VR shooters can work of course. But he claimed that it would work just the same and that you could basically implement VR into any ego shooter. That just doesn't work.Quoting: kuhpunktIt seems like you've never experienced VR. Correct me if I'm wrong... but playing VR games with keyboard and mouse aren't really good. Just explain to me how you're supposed to aim, view and turn around with a VR headset and keyboard mouse.I guess you could turn around with your head (games needs to make sure enemies don't come from behind, or have some 180° turning key) and aim with the mouse. You're shown some crosshair. I'm not sure it would feel natural, though, having something in your hand that feels like (parts of) an actual gun would be better.
It wasn't anywhere as good as playing with the Vive controllers or even a plain gamepad, but it worked.
