I HATE STEAM----> Two words: Dial Up

I buy HL2 and HL2:EP1 last summer, i have the box, so i figure they will just install and ill be on my way. Nope!! I find myself spending a whole day and 2 over-nights updating steam and the games:(

On a sidenote, They both rocked:rockout:

What im getting at is that they should give you the choice between everything on the cd, or online. Not online, even if you do have a cd.

I wouldn't recommend the internet on dial up. :toast:

Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
You can play offline, and I got my HL2 package from the freebies of buying a 9600XT when they were new, years ago. No CD's to lose, scratch, or get lost. My wife can't throw away the box so no keys lost, unlike a couple of my old CIV games. You can activate other steam supported games by typing in the key. You get free games just for buying a ATI card.



If anything game makers like Atari making shit like Test Drive Unlimited that doesn't work right on over 30% of machines that meet and or excede should be getting bashed, they turn out a turd, never support it, offer no easy way of diagnosing problems, and don't support the online community of gamers for fear if enough of them get togeather they will sue their asses. Steam does a awesome job of supporting the gamers, and has caused 0 problems for those with systems setup right.

That internet works pretty decent on dialup, but thats about it, i did however play the Crysis beta on dialup, and it worked surprisingly well:D
