I am not a fan of the half life series but I can see why people love it. I wonder why they don't make the damn game. They can actually print money by releasing it.Dr. Zoidberg wrote:

Could be they are saying that as a ploy so there's a huge public demand for it, which would guarantee big sales. There's going to be a AMA so will be interesting to see what he has to say: https://www.vg247.com/2017/01/16/gabe-n ... -for-days/
Also thanks Zoidy for the news about Dirt Showdown.

Re: PC Games General Thread
Probably depends on if you're going to play with others on public servers or not. If yes, legit is the way to go. If playing on privately hosted servers, or not playing with others at all, it probably doesn't matter.Hawq wrote:is it worth picking up minecraft, along with the free 10 version, or should I hunt a high seas one, cant recall if it died out for this place or not

Australians will soon need to pay a 10% VAT on Steam
Australians will soon need to pay a 10% VAT (technically GST, Goods and Services Tax) on Steam, despite the fact that the storefront still does not offer an AUD currency option.
This new tax is expected to be applied to all products on Steam, though it is possible that some companies will decide to absorb this tax themselves to maintain their original pricing.
Many hope that this Australia exclusive tax will also come with the introduction of an AUD currency/payment options on the platform, with Valve currently planning to add this tax in June of this year.
Several other countries like New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Iceland, South Africa and India will also pay region-specific taxes on Steam, with plans to introduce these taxes in March.

It's fucked up. We already get higher prices on games for no reason even though they're still in US$, now we get the tax too.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil released on Steam (Windows PC)
A remastered version of FPS classic Turok 2: Seeds of Evil has been published on Steam for Windows PCs. When it was originally released, on N64 a little bit previously (1998), Turok 2 gained high praise from the likes of Happy Puppy which said it "may be the best N64 game to date, no joke". Now it is available for modern Windows machines in an enhanced graphics version courtesy of the Kex Engine 3.4 and Night Dive Studios.
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil lets you stand in the sandals of the titular dinosaur hunter to go forth and battle against many fierce enemies in the game's sprawling remastered lush environments. According to the game page on Steam, there are 35 types of enemies - from prehistoric raptors, to 'evolved flesh hunters'. Enemies are said to have good smarts and will attack in groups, take cover, and flee if under the cosh.
Weapons are not just of the primitive type, Turok can wield pistols, rifles, a shotgun, a grenade launcher, a flamethrower, and even a guided Cerebral Bore 'missile'. Furthermore, he can "stomp enemies flat while riding an artillery-mounted Triceratops"…
As well as the game engine enhancements, AI improvements, a new UI, quick warp level portal transport, updated maps, and better save and load options, Turok 2 introduces new multiplayer options. Multiplayer fun can be had with friends on Steam, GOG Galaxy, LAN and direct IP contests; a split screen mode is available too. Last but not least a new multiplayer game mode called 'Last Turok Standing' has been added.
Turok 2 is available now on Steam at a promo price of £11.24 until 23rd March (normally £14.99). Minimum and recommended specs are listed below.
Minimum:
Recommended:
OS: Windows 7 (64-bit required)
Processor: Intel Quad Core 1.7 GHZ CPU
Graphics: Any GPU that supports a minimum of OpenGL 3.2
Storage: 1GB available space
Sound Card: 100% DirectX compatible sound card or onboard sound
Additional Notes: Intel CPUs rendering graphics may not be OpenGL 3.2+ compatible.

Turok is one game that I loved as a kid that's nearly impossible to play nowadays. I tried to play the original a few months back and...whew, that game is so dated.
