hope to play some more, not into DIRT Showdown much tbh, its too arcady and it lacks the setup features for the races, so its just pretty much random and people can vote out if they dont like.

Grid is good :) hopefully we will have F1 2015 soon as well and maybe Dirt Rally (i really want this) at some day.

my small review:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/xpander69/recommended/270880/ [External Link]

"Great game, like ETS2. Cheap Logitech Driving Force GT worked nicely. Had to change some keybinds for my personal satisfaction, but FFB is not supported on the linux client, makes me a bit sad.
Graphics are amazing and its running pretty good also, all maxed. 40+ fps in cities and 60 locked (vsynced) on the highways.
Radio support under linux client is lacking features like with ETS2, seems just ogg support, but its not a big issue for me since i use my own musicplayer anyway with keybinds to change stuff around.
I never been in USA, so i get to know some places now :)

allmost forgot.. parking with your trailer is a lot of fun now. there are places that are so challenging, narrow spaces with tricky maneuvers to get there.

8/10 for the game itself (because not too much difference from ETS2)
7/10 for linux client (due some missing features)"


Just a random gameplay video (this one was with keyboard)
FPS is lower, somehow when recording, it is trying to sync to 30 fps on heavy areas

they still havent fixed browser detection, every time i use opera/vivaldi on store page i see those shitty windows games i dont care about, why on earth they broke this, it was working fine before october last year. it has been reported on github since, but nothing changed.

Looks like Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry was removed from Steam, oh my

Quoting: BeamboomI may sound like a broken record now, but: Do not trust user "reviews". Do. Not. Trust. User. "Reviews".
indeed.. all metrics just suck, metacritic, user reviews etc.. they all suck and arent accurate (they can be from time to time ofc but you cant trust it)

as i have always said: watch a review with gameplay video or watch just some gameplay videos of the game and decide your own

Garry Newman of Rust and Garry's Mod regrets supporting Linux

Quoting: TheBossWhy should we support someone who constantly belittles the platform we are trying to help grow? His comments are never helpful, never productive and all it does is fuel anti-Linux hate in his circles.

There's many better ways to go about it, like not saying it, or explaining it in a better way. He knows this, he chooses to be like how he is because Linux is small so he doesn't really care.
And random internet name calling is never helpful either. It again shows how hostile/toxic linux community is.
And Linux is Small thats the fact. This game is also in Early Access (be it there forever or not).

I'm not defending Garry, he is what he is, but linux community seems to be too emotional about it.

there are countless games that arent early access and not work on linux or work really bad. And when devs dont say anything at all its a lot worse imo, it shows that they dont even know that they released a game on linux.

my 2 cents.. im too lazy to argue
