re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

Wow, this thread has been going for over three years, and the problems still exist.  I just bought Portal for the PC.  Well, several days ago, but I haven't been able to play it yet because Steam won't let me download the updates that I need.  I have the disk in my computer, but I can't play it.  Sure...

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

I bought HL2 a week ago, I've managed to install steam (took 3 days) and then Update HL2. The game isn't that great. Now I'm waiting for part two to update. Steam is crap. I've paid for this game, I should be able to play it when I want. Not when Steam's servers say I can. I'm now going to look for a pirate c...

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

The whole concept of Steam is preposterous. The premise is that it is going to stop cheating and piracy. No it doesn't stop cheating; Crysis has an inordinate amount of cheaters. So does the other games. And punch Gabe Newell in the face for me when you see the fat fuck.

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

Do you know what also sucks? YOUR FACE. We're only giving our opinion and our experiences... you see it as a rant, but its a critique of Steam's service. Heard of freedom of speech?

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

GOD this is so HORRIBLE, I bought Halflife 2 and brot it home and the first thing it does, it kicks my DOG right out of the blue, that is so mean, I was like "WTF VALVLE???! You pice of sh*t, I am not a pirate!" Then I went to go have dinner and Steam ate all the beef stroganoff like a SELFISH little B*...

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

HL2 is a good game yes...... but i think valve thinking steam will stop pirating is way off! STEAM IS WHY WE ARE PIRATING YOU IDIOTS GET RID OF STEAM

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

YOU HEAR ME VALVE? DROP STEAM! Jeez, I'm scared to buy another Valve game after I saw the modern terror that is steam.

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

HL2 looked fun at my friends house, but he had problems with steam when he deleted it without knowing of it's importance. Now he can't play it, and I can't even manage to get it to load! Thats two more people pissed off at STEAM! Jesus Christ, you know what else? Steam is the official biggest con...

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

should a pirated copy (on CD) require the use of steam? i don't see why it would, but my friend has a copy that works mainly ok, the only problem being the occasional error: "Node Graph out of date. Rebuilding..." After this it usually continues to function but may crash. Explanations/thoughts?

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

I think its worth getting hl2 and cs:s considering all the mods you can get http://www.moddb.com/

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. PLEASE STAND BY....] CENSORED]!" God! Where was I? Oh, yeah. Anyways, I just can't believe that Valve would just let people deal with these problems instead of trying to solve them. I mean, it's their friggin' game, for God's Sakes!

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

You are right Steam is just a pull sheat I bought the game then I couldn't install it on my computer becuase of the stupid steam. I have tried every thing but no way to make it. the only solution that they sujest is to use different net work. what the huck?

re: Valve and Half-Life 2, plus Steam, three years later

Not intended to be rude, just find it ironic that Valve got its birth from former Microsoft developers and now Steam is more pervasive than any Microsoft software. Steam knows what I own, when and how I play what and to boot has one of the boldest E.U.L.A.'s in the business to protect itself.

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

Three years later... I bought the game as part of the Orange Box on Xbox 360.

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

Bah-hah, this is great stuff. Steam only sucks on it having to update constantly, and having to update the game before you can play it. I've had no real problems with steam though, just a little frustration here or there. But I plan on having valve games for a long time.

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

Steam is just that, the smelly air that rises from a big stinking pile of shit. I happily buy games 2nd hand or swap with mates. Now thats gone. I didnt know what steam was until a friend gave me his copy of hl2. Yup you guessed it, steam wont allow multiplayer etc. Bastards

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

i also agree with everyone, i just bought the orange box over christmas ecstatic that i was going to play portal, half-life 2 episode 2, and team fortress 2, but after 3 days THREE Days, and that includes leaving it on all night with my crappy dial up connection, i still have yet to play the gam...

re: Half-Life 2 demo and Steam: Crap

I search all emails from Steam on "passphrase" and there's no such thing. So what do I have to resort to YET AGAIN? Email Steam of course. 4. A Steam user account name 5. An email address registered with Steam Thanks for wasting another 2 hours of my life Steam.
