If the Steam Controller 2 is what I hope it is to be., I would probably buy 2 right away; one for daily usage, and the other as a collection unit that stays in package. The first controller didn’t work for me and certainly was not usable for all cases. But thanks to the Steam Deck, I am confident in the controller successor.
The question is, what do you think would it cost? And what would be your limit? I think it would cost maybe 60 USD or EUR and I would even be ready to pay 90 (but then would buy only one and wait for discount for second unit).
The most played games on steam are multiplayer games that use some sort of anti cheat.
However, lot of the most played Steam games are well supported and never have an issue with anti cheat whatsoever: https://steamdb.info/ such as Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2 (2 most played games). There are also lot of single player games as the most played games. Therefore this is a mixed bag.
Those anti cheats often break linux compatibility when the game or anticheat itself gets updated.
They not break often Linux compatibility when game or anticheat is updated. That’s false statement. There are games, when it happens. But that is not “often”. I play games with Anticheat on Linux and they do not break, such as Marvel Rivals and previously Overwatch and Splitgate too (besides Valves own games, but that is self explanatory). This never happened. So the “often” part is misleading here.
Unfortunately I don’t have a source. Hopefully this is not a thing of misinformation from me. Gimme sec… ah it was just rumored. I don’t know if this is true: https://wccftech.com/halo-combat-evolved-remake-ue5-blam-engine-gameplay-tweaks/
It’s not entirely in the Unreal Engine 5. They use it on top of their old engine if I understand it correctly. Probably similar to how Oblivion Remake was handled. But from the gameplay, it was not entirely smooth. On the other hand, this is still in development. If the rest of the game runs like this, it will be okay.
It still can be true, if Microsoft does an A/B testing. Some may get it earlier than others and this could result in different realities. Edit: Note, I am not saying it is true, just adding some spice that it still can be. I’m also skeptical about single unproofed claims, even if I don’t like Microsoft.
In all fairness, the prices of entire business is going up, including from their competitors, due to number of factors that has nothing to do with the acquisition. The question is, would Microsoft stay at the same price even if they didn’t purchase Activision-Blizzard-King? Would Microsoft layoff people and replace them with Ai, even if they did not buy Activision? What do other companies do? Would Microsoft change the Game Pass price anyway, because it did not workout well (especially without Activision library included)? What is the competition doing?
I didn’t know this site, so looked more into other reports. It’s somethin’. Facing lawsuit, Blizzard argues female employees should have just acquired Anti-Harassment DLC from 2021
“I have a few older regular viewers”, Curry said, “but most of them seem to be very young kids, children, and I’m not getting any feedback from them on the videos. All I get is ‘Hi grandma, I love you grandma’. That isn’t what I was spending my time on making and uploading videos for.”
What did she expect? I mean this question seriously and in no way being disrespectful. Maybe she should start a community forum if she really wants to deep discussions about the game, her gameplay and herself. No one can expect that from YouTube comments. Or she could switch to another game, say Breath of the Wild. It would give her a fresh start and this can be exciting for her and her fans too.
I wish her good luck with whatever she does next. It’s amazing that such a old person enjoys videogames and even gets fame of it.

What you talking about? Just because you read comments, does not mean others didn’t read comments? After watching YouTube comments and looking into others comments, its like with any other Remaster release. People are divided and you personally have a tunnel effect with an echo and you can’t see outside of it, because you don’t want to hear and remember anything else than your own opinion.
No, this looks like a cool new Remaster. They update it to current gen, update slightly the looks, they do what a Remaster have to be. The only problem would be, if the price is too high, I don’t know what it costs. And we need to see the actual release before judging if its a low effort or not.
If you like or do not like the new look, that’s your right to decide off course. But you can’t speak for everyone and say that’s the point of everyone. My point btw was that its normal a Remaster is not improved too much, as that’s what a Remaster is. Although I think it is improved here, but that’s not my main point. My main point is that all the other things are improved and made compatible with current generation, including current gen features for controls and maybe trophies, and other stuff. A Remaster is not just about the textures and resolution.
How does Deus Ex run on the PS5?
It was already remade as The Twin Snakes. I never played it, so no opinion on the game itself. Some people seem not to like it at all, but to be honest, that’s expected with Remakes that go a bit beyond. Other than that, I absolutely agree with you; a proper and modern Remake of the first Metal Gear Solid would be awesome. It’s my favorite too.
Yes, but only very short amount of time. I actually played the very first Elite game on the NES back then! So I know the basic concept of Elite Dangerous and that its a “Trading Sim” sort of thing. But I was looking for some sort of planets and aliens and action and adventure style of game, with simulation aspects off course. I can’t say if Elite Dangerous would fit in that description, but when I tried it, it was quite complicated too.
Maybe I have to give it another shot, just need to read reviews to understand the game, if its different from the very first original game (gamplay wise off course). Edit: By the way, Starfield is actually the kind of game I was looking for. The only reason I didn’t play it yet is, because I was busy with other games and most people disliked it. So I am cautions a bit.
I really wanted to like No Man’s Sky, but the gameplay is just not for me. The entire premise of presentation is very nice and I badly wanted to have a good Space game. It’s 2 years ago or so when I tried it on Game Pass for a few hours. This game had an incredible run since its launch and was so vastly improved and new features added, that I’m actually jealous for those who enjoy the game.
Noclip documentaries are really good and I can recommend everyone interested into the topic. I only watch docs for games I played, so won’t watch this one unfortunately.
Little offtopic: Nice, an Invidious link as alternative. I stopped linking to, because none worked in the last couple of months. So I started posting links to https://skipvids.com/ , which is still my go to alternative if Invidious stops working again. Finally a working instance! Added it to FreeTube ASAP, thanks again.
Also what do you mean as “runs better”? As in “better performance” or “better compatibility”? I’ll give you one answer for each question, but off course its not the only one. Other cases may have another explanation why the Proton version runs better. This is a complicated topic which cannot have a generalized answer for all games.
- For performance: Developers focus on the Windows version and may not be very talented at Linux development or environments. So optimizing the Windows build by the devs will obviously make that version better. Plus optimizations and some trickery from Valve (and off course others) in Proton might also help, that is not affecting the Linux native build.
- For compatibility: Proton does a better job at providing an environment that is the same each time the game is installed. Linux native changes too much and too often and differs a lot per distribution. At least that is what I think, not sure if that is even correct.
Yes.
