Lunar Origins Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 So, after coming back to play my copy of Skyrim for the first couple of weeks I find myself unable to start the game because STEAM SERVERS ARE TOO BUSY, and it won't let me play it in offline mode because derp. Discuss Steam and its place as a necessary evil, as well as its retard programming and horrid servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Master Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Steam is an amazing platform for gaming and I wouldn't dare call it evil. The again, I constantly am reminded that the only people making original and good games are Valve, Nintendo(to a point), and most Indie Game Companies. I'll stick to my TF2 besides your MW2 and 3, thank you. As for Skyrim, I think it's kinda your fault. No one should ever play a game that made for console on a computer, for it would take so much awesomeness that your computer would no longer be able to run again. And you'd get a free cake.

[/quote] On the contrary, Skyrim was made for the PC, but Steam got in the way. The consoles can barely play it as is, and you'd also look at the modding support that Bethesda puts out. I have one hell of a computer, and it plays it just fine. I just hate being forced into using Steam. Everything about it, at least to me, is useless. The game would have been far more enjoyable without Steam in the way, and herpderp you can't play this online because Steam says so... I'm really dissapointed in Valve. The things Steam forces you to do are excruciatingly redundant and stupid, not to mention stupidly redundant. If only we were given the option to start it without Steam- hell, I'd be happy without it at all.

Lunar Origins Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 [quote name='Doctor Whooves' timestamp='1323574394' post='5699985'] You've made a thread to complain. You sound like Shard, or something. [/quote] Yeah, I did. I want to know how others actually feel about it, though. I'm overly mad right now, and I just find the whole shenanigans surrounding Steam unnecessary. I would like to play my games that I purchased when I want, where I want. Steam kinda says no to that whole business. Lack internet connection? Tough luck, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Doesn't have any games I like, so I don't even bother. But it's an ok platform for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilhorus Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 What's wrong with it? It seems perfectly fine for me 0_0And busy servers doesn't make it bad, really. That's just unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yea, steam is amazing so I have no idea what your talking about. And there is another thing like steam, just blanking on the name. Don't like steam us that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I don't want to spend $60 on a game I can only play when I have internet access and Steam is working properly. It's scary that you can't understand my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok to b**** about Steam people, but it's not really clever to say it's bad when it destroys all competition in it's market. It's the best we have and we should be glad it isn't terrible like Origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've had no problems with Steam whatsoever. It does require internet access - [b]once[/b], when you're downloading the game. After that, you [b]can [/b]play the game in Offline mode. (If it's not an MMO or otherwise online, but I'd assume that was obvious to everyone.) Not to mention that their prices are way better than retail here. Since I started using Steam, I haven't bought a single physical game. Granted, that was only earlier this year, but still.

Tentacruel Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Portal for that cheap is a steal, but I'm low on cash and I already bought it for the 360 so I'll pass on that and wait for something I really need/want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
