What's the problem with Steam?

 

cool story bro

 

I've been on steam since it was released an dthe only problem that I ever experienced was that there should be more games on it
I honestly never had any problems with it, and I think the service is phenomenal idea for your own library.

 

I was opposed to steam in theory, but then I tried it and now I'm not looking back. I'll buy any game on Steam rather than retail, it makes everything more simple. After trying Direct2Drive (eww at activation system) and Gamersgate (give it a whirl, its nice), I must say Gamersgate is my favorite for single player games while Steam is my favorite for community oriented games. Why people (especially the Civilization V community) are so upset is understandable but it certainly isn't the apocalypse.

Back to game deals, anyone else going to pick up Recettear before its sale is over?

 

Mother refused to lend her credit card?

 

Why is the civ 5 community upset over it being on steam..?

I haven't had to go to a bestbuy to browse games (that may not even be there) since I moved over to steam, AND I can look at reviews and junk before I decide on a purchase. That alone is worth the unobtrusive "DRM" that steam packs, I really don't see the downside to steam...

 

LOL

 

I'm going to pick up Recettear. Pretty fun game. I also bought Chime today. Pretty fun for 5$.

 

very funny.. anyways , i've got my own one.. it just the region restrictions and the crappy VAC are such a disappointment.. i rahter have CDs... and amazon sells me most games at lower prices than steam in UK so i just rather have Cds...

 

I actually pay more for games on steam then in big stores or online. I'd rather pay $5 or $10 more and have everything under one program, then to save $5 and worry about scratched cd's and big ammount of boxes from games.

 

Star wars force Unleashed goes for 7 Euro today only!

And a huge starwars pack is at 50% discount

 

also for $7.50. link - Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition on Steam

FYI:
. Metacritic score: 65/100 and 5.2/10 User Score - Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition for PC Reviews... (auto text)
. A not-so-quick review of the PC version - Steam Users' Forums
. Also came across a link about sound problems: Different sound problem - Steam Users' Forums
. It's 30 GB download.

 

Yea its buggy, but once you are able to run it the game becomes fun. It has its moments and not so good ones as well. Also, have fun download 30gb and most of the data is useless because its multi language.

 

What does that mean? i have to download 30GB to be able to run the game? ROFL

 

Yep LOL

Basically it downloads all the files in all languages and apparently the videos arent compressed

Too much for me TBH, I cant be ****** to download all that

 

I WANT A REFUND!!!

 

I know what you mean

I was about to buy it, then I check the forums on steam and found out about this, although I knew about the 30Gb size before

 

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic only $2.50 USD

Save 75% on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on Steam

 

I bought it as a "play it sometime later" thing. I don't even plan to install it any time soon. Will wait for a trip to some high-bandwidth place...or by December 2011, whichever comes first

The other Star Wars games I might steam-buy are:
. Dark Forces II, Jedi Outcast - because I enjoyed Dark Forces (the first one) when I played it ~13 yrs ago. But didn't look into it's sequels. And considering the release dates, I'll probably go just for Jedi Outcast.
. Starfighter - since I need a "TIE Fighter"-type SW game, didn't do X-wing and X-wing vs TIE Fighter, etc. and have an xbox360 controller.

 

I bought KOTOR since it was so cheap

 

it's 40gb

 

LOL right....

 

WHY is KOTOR 2 not on Steam?

 

Thanks for the heads up

Buying this for sure

LOL, nice try maybe next time

 

30GB!?! Dear god. It's takes me ~10-12 minutes just to download one GB. I couldn't imagine waiting for 30...

 

30GB!?! Dear god. It's takes me ~2-3 hours just to download one GB. I couldn't imagine waiting for 30...

 

Lolz, I bought KOTOR too, thats one extremely attractive price indeed.

 

I consider anything less than the cost of a Monster Drink a "must buy". It practically feels like stealing at this price. And yes the Force Unleashed games are huge, thanks to their full HD cutscenes.

 

thanks for the heads up, bought the starwars collection now
total of 50gb download.... ummm ok, i'm gonna be capped over this for sure.

 

If Battlefront 2 goes on sale and anyone gets it let me know. I've been running a server for SWBF1/SWBF2 for about 5 years now.

 

Star Wars: Empire at War Gold Pack is up for 5 Euro, i bought it

 

Hm. Point taken.

 

Star Wars Battlefront® II is up for 4.50 Euro i ofcourse bought it.

Does anyone play this online?

 

how is the online play for SW Battlefront 2 ?

Me hates em hornswogglers! Send em all to Davy Jone's Locker!

King's Bounty Crossworlds should have been released 15 hrs ago!

 

haha i bought these as soon as they came out. a game i used to play oh so long ago, took me ages back then... no internet to help for hints/walkthroughs... it really was an epic adventure. i love how you can switch between the "modern" and the "original" graphics/sounds.

 

^^

Hang on...it's also on sale at telltalegames for $4.95 all 5 episodes...thru 9/20.

So, a little bit of buying options this weekend. : )

Cin...

 

Garry's Mod only 5$

Save 50% on Garry's Mod on Steam

 

Team Fortress 2 is 50% off until Monday. $9.99

I was hoping for a 75% off deal since it's an old game, but I guess it is pretty massive with all the updates. And it does looks fun. It seems to be very popular too.

 

I think I bought TF2 for less than $20 when it was new lol.

If I am not mistaken i has been on sale for under $5.00 on more than one occasion.

 

Then I'll wait.

 

omg, soo i tried to login to steam the other day (its been a few months) and I forgot my password so I did the forgot password process. well, i did it and all I get is this confirmation code and a "secret question" generated by steam that I cannot answer. it asks for "What password did Steam last set your password to?"

Like hell if I know (it was a random string of letters/digits), and I deleted that email a loooong time ago

this is stupid, when did steam add this nonsense of security.

 

I bought Magic and all the 31 expansion things lol for 15 euro

 

How many people haven't bought the Orange Box games? I mean really. They've been available for super cheap on several occasions, I'm surprised they sell much at all.

 

contact steam customer service directly. tbh it's your fault for setting a stupid security question.

 

you don't understand, i never set that question. it was generated by STEAM, not me.

oh well guess i have to wait like 1000 days for a response from steam now lol.

 

Actually now that I think about it thats how I got TF2 I think was the orange box, I think it was like $10 or $15 for the whole thing?
