I tried the demo, but wasn't a fan of it, the parry/deflect works excellently against human enemies, but against creatures it was frustrating, deflect a hit and it doesn't do anything as their combo just keeps going and going and going

 

I had this problem the first time I ran through it, but I tried a second playthrough a little while ago that went much more smoothly for me and realized that deflecting creatures is more effective if you use the L1 + O + left/right deflect to move sideways.

It's a real shame, I think driven by (i) Arrogance that you think you know better than the PR/marketing teams that have worked on the release plan; and/or (ii) A desire to get acknowledgement from people you don't know.

 

Seen similar in CoD, someone leaking info because "we weren't sharing enough info with the community" or something like that.

 

Like, maybe you do know better, but that's not the way things work. You plan and execute as a team, or the whole thing falls apart.

The hacker also claims to have the entirety of the game's source code and is threatening to release it. Normally I might feel bad for Rockstar but...nah.

 

Didn't they once send a PI to intimidate a modder or something? They'll probably hire a hitman this time lol.

This leak came from hacking though, not a team member releasing info early.

 

Ah, didn't read that at the time. I tend to differentiate between leaks and hacks, but accept that it's not an industry standard.

I briefly considered it, but Linux doesn't have good RT performance, especially on Nvidia cards (not an issue on Steam Deck), and there are a few games I like to play that don't work on it, like ZZZ. If not for those two things though I'd seriously think about switching.

I tried installing Linux recently now it is supposed to be fool-proof after not getting on with it many years ago. From not recognising my keyboard, not recognising my trackpad and borking my bootloader so I can't even boot from a live USB now - never mind install it I don't love windows, but I can't love Linux.

Oh it's definitely not easier, but at least where steamOS is concerned I like how free of bloat it is. I'm kind of hoping valve puts out an official version for PCs down the line. The steam deck is already getting a big surge of popularity thanks to the price gouging Microsoft and Nintendo are up to lately so I feel like it isn't out of the realm of possibility valve would do something like that if Windows ever goes a bridge too far.

I switched to Linux for about a month, then went back to Windows lol, started with Bazzite, which, to be fair worked pretty well from the start, installing and running games can be a bit of a pain depending on the game though, you have to check protondb and see what settings people use to run their games, assuming the game runs in the first place lol. Still, all the games I tried ran without issues once I found the right settings.

 

Pretty surprising too, Bazzite has a bunch of emulators ready to go on its official store, if it wasn't for the issues I ran into (which might be pretty niche lol), I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a gaming PC without Windows.

 

The problem I ran into though, was that my drawing tablet doesn't work, a Huion Kamvas Pro 13, Linux detects it, but it detects it as a generic screen with some touch capabilities, this means:

  1. Can't calibrate it
  2. Can't tell it to limit itself to the tablet screen, so the stylus movement is all weird, slide a tiny bit and congrats, now you're on a different monitor lol
  3. Can't use the tablet buttons
  4. Can't remap tablet or pen buttons
  5. Pressure sensitivity can't be adjusted

The official Huion Linux drivers didn't work, neither did Open Tablet Driver, even tried different distros, Pop Os, Mint, nothing lol.

 

Had the same issue with my amp, it was detected as a generic IO device lol.

 

Then at some point one of my drives stopped working, disk manager said it was an empty partition lol, plugged it into another PC and all the data was still there, it's just Linux on my PC that refused to read it lol, it was even formatted to Ext4.

 

So yeah, back to Windows it is. :P

 

I have Pop Os on my old PC, which is a media PC now, and that one works fine, my dad has Mint on his system and it works well too, for basic use.

 

The thing is, if you actually want to use your PC for other stuff, then Linux can be a pain, also, it's not really an OS to use, as much as it's a tech project where, depending on what you want to do, you might want to have a spare couple of hours/days just to try and get whatever you're trying to do running. :P

 

Overall yeah, if I had the money to get a new gaming PC, I'd use Linux on it, keep Windows on this one for work and other stuff.

 

Dual booting isn't an option either since apparently Windows updates can break it, meaning you'd have to install Linux again whenever an update breaks it lol.
