Thread: The future of gaming

  1. #11
    There is no other program apart from Steam working to deliver games to our pc's right now. HL1 had an inbuilt patcher where you went through the start menu and under Play HL1 it had Update HL1 where it would randomly pick a server and check the latest version and update for you, but it wasn't forced on you like Steam does, you could choose if you updated or not.

    Im totally relaxed, i just always have to be right.

    DEViANCE didn't release any version of HL2, your thinking of VENGANCE. DEViANCE havnt been scene active for nearly half a year now. Also he could get the PROViSION Collectors Edition, you won't be able to play online or update the game but you don't have to touch steam or connect to the internet.

    Unless it's supposed to be "Amen to that, now let's go to the brothel".


    As for the actual topic i tend to avoid games with online subscriptions and stuff like steam, I think it's a bad idea.

    The try meaning of his sentance is yet to be uncovered

    I agree Steam is a piece of shit, but the games it runs with are great, if only they could offer a steamless version. Alot of people cannot play Counter Strike Source because the latest patch (which you have to install or you cnanot play any of your games) buggered it up, on a normal game a few people would try and then tell everyone else not to upgrade. Also unlocking HL2 on 56k takes up to an hour, and then you have to be connected while you play, unless you go into 'Offline' mode which is fucked and connects to the net without asking you anyway. Valve are the Microsoft's of game makers

    Nope its everyone, also the Friends/Buddy list doesnt work so you never know where other people are in the game (server wise) and Steam has had some major issues with Xfire (bombing the whole computer and such). Also they fail to update CSS which for about 40%-45% is unplayable but add a new weapon into HL2DM. Untill Valve release a new patch CSS is fucked for millions of people. Also VAC there anti cheating system doesnt work at all, all it does is scan HL2.exe type thingy, where as most people know you can run a hack from a seperate program. VAC2 was promised to be included with HL2 retial so should have been finnished 3-4 months ago and there saying 'soon'. Also Half Life: Source they just replaced the water and added ragdoll's on NPC's. Blue Shift isnt included in the Gold edition so you get every HL game apart from Blue Shift.

    Welcome to Steam, what should we fuck up next?
