Anyone else having problems with the Steam client this evening? I am able to sign into Steam using the client, but when I try to do much else I either get a -7 or -150 error message, stating that the servers may be offline or I may not be conected to the internet.

Clearly I am connected to the internet whilst I type this - I can also sign into Steam and browse the store in a browser, no issues. Seems to matter not whether I am connected via NordVPN or without a VPN.

Alien Isolation (for VR)

You may need the brown trousers if you're playing that one in VR

Go for it, both excellent games!

Steam client seems fine today, so just a temporary issue by the looks of it.

I am tempted by Road Redemption, looks like a remake of the old Road Rash from the 8 & 16 bit eras. At £6.74 in the sale, worth a try!

Lucas Pope deserves to be picked up by a big Publisher and given a small team and left to make a game of his choosing. Pretty amazing what he has accomplished by himself. Unique ideas.

Road Redemption looks class - it's basically updated road rash from megadrive days

@Psycho Sonny Indeed. I've bought it, will take me back a bit

Was close to. Ordering too, there's a lot of dlc and pretty pricey for the complete edition, does the dlc add much gameplay?

Sorry for late reply, got dragged out to go Christmas shopping. The DLC Dinosaur pack only adds 3 new Dinosaurs and some 'animal interactions', not sure what these interactions are supposed to be. And this 'Deluxe' DLC only adds another 5 Dinosaurs so not exactly the best DLC I've seen for a game. Especially considering the asking price of the base game.
I hope someone else can help you ( and me) as I havent got that far in the game to see what this Dr Wu DLC is like.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Is anything even cheaper than the CD key websites?

Yeah, he's quite amazing. Then again it will also be interesting to see what else he can do by himself.

On a related note I noticed somebody has created a short film of papers please on steam, its not bad.

I've only picked up Far Cry 5 but thinking about grabbing WWE 2K19 and a Steam controller. Any other can't miss options?

You may need the brown trousers if you're playing that one in VR

Whatever the colour your trousers are when you start, they'll be brown come the time you finish.

Awesome game.
