I don't like Steam Controller because FPS are easier with 2 Joysticks. SC Controller does work good, and it runs a daemon as well which is nice.

Quoting: ElectricPrismSigh... I guess modern FPS' have classes now where you deploy with weapon-sets and don't have to strategically acquire and guard weapon spawns on a map.

Totally different mechanically from Halo, and of course old Unreal Tournament had lots of little mechanics that made the game fun.

The Secret to Fun? Game Mechanics, not 10 billion classes or a hundred million units or variations of procedural generated weapons. Maybe worlds but not weapons.

Modern fps are more accessible. Remembering when armour spawns is HARD. I want to use rail gun all the time and when someone else takes it I am sad. I want to shoot people, not THINK. Thinking is hard. Skill? Tactics? Ugh.

Notice the context of my comment - particularly games ranging from 1999 - 2007. Super Mario Bros from 1987 could be more fun than a modern side scroller because of good mechanics executed well.

Speaking of that! How's the new Unreal game doing? They've been working on it a long time now haven't they?

I download it from their forum and it's extremely awesome and fun. The only problem is that every time I want to play I have to manually patch the game.

Not as bad as Section 8 Prejudice or Storm United

I wonder if modding would allow new maps -- that would really boost SDV's replayability & increase gamer value

Quoting: Philadelphus

Quoting: MaCroX95Valve releasing an awesome Linux exclusive would mean only 1 thing... thousands of gamers rushing to install Linux to play a game HL3 for example :D Such thing needs to be done so Windows users would lose their tight grip to 1 OS. But back to reality Valve would never do such thing because they are really the one company that cares about PC gaming and their users opposite to majority of game development companies out there.

While I'm against platform-exclusive games on principle, I wouldn't particularly mind if Half-Life 3 was released on Linux first, say, perhaps a week before releasing to other platforms… :)

I disagree, however I wouldnt mind Half Life 3 having Legendary Exclusive perks only on SteamOS.

However im not against developers choosing to do exclusives.

QuoteReimplementation of the clipboard API.

I wonder if this will mean clipboard copy/paste will work from chrome to Photoshop.

I had no idea any of this existed until now. I don't know if I like the idea of stickered controllers, if they were a more permanent mod I would happily buy them.

However I have to admit that in CS:GO my Xbox 360 controller currently feels the best, maybe because joystick pads don't extend to 100% of the circles edge by default -- dafuq?

I'm still waiting for gamers and manufacturers to mod the controllers and sell them, can't wait.

(Im seriously tempted to buy 4 PS3 or PS4 controllers as they're bluetooth and have a good layout.)

QuoteThe Steam Hardware Weekend sale is now live and it seems Valve now sells accessories for the Steam Controller.
