what games are you waiting to be released 2005?

im saying, i dont need to spend 50 dollas on doom 3, and another 100 for a gfx card that can run the game. when i can just pop in a OLD game thatll give me the EXACT SAME gameplay. which is why i think doom 3 was horrid. it just had eye candy. which seems to be what most games are becoming, eye candy.
 
Very true, most people think cuz a game has good graphics it is the best game in the world, when the gameplay is really crappy. The thing is for me though, I didn't have to buy a gfx. card for Doom 3 ;).

But, and I don't expect most people to agree with me here, Half-Life 2 is a perfect example of what you are saying. Ok sure, HL2 had great graphics. But gameplay???? Where was it???? I was bored sick within the first hour. And then those lame vehicle rides, the airboat one was stupid, the dune buggy one was ridiculously long. Please, PC Gamer gave HL2 a f*cking 98% (the highest in their history) just because either

A- They basically only judge a game on graphics
B- They were paid off by Valve
C- They hyped it up so much they were forced to give a great review
or D- They loved the original so much they had to give the sequel better.

Oh, and since you didn't like how you had to pay an extra 100 bucks for a new gfx card, I have to pay 45 bucks a month for high speed internet since Steam pretty much forced me to get it.
 
I pay 20 bucks a month for dsl :)

And ur mad about HL2's rating, man, i was furious as how GTA could get a perfect 10. after 30 minutes of running around shooting people and stealing cars, i was bored to death. People dont know what quality is anymore.

Yeah, damn Steam! What type of retarted name is that anway! I remeber trying to get the demo of HL-2 to play: "Half Life 2 will be ready to play in: 1234 minutes" And I have cable internet lol :P
 
Wow, not like that anymore with cable. When I had 56k it was like that, trying to find time to update the games so that I wouldn't miss phone calls. You can imagine my frustration when I found out that I had to be connected to play. That sucked.

I wouldn't say I was pissed. I loved GTA 3, but I thought it was more like a 9 game than a 10....

You dont need the internet for HL-2, maybe for other games or deathmatch,(which sucks anyways) so your not really comparing the same things here.
 
YES YOU DO!!! Steam needs to frickin update it and "decrypt the game files" which is a MANDATORY thing, and with 56k that process takes like 4 hours, then you have to be online to play it. Before I got high speed, steam was my mortal enemy.
 
And offline mode requires internet which is stupid.

EDIT: You think steam made a deal with cable ISPs? Like now the ISPs profit is rising 30% but they have to pay steam 10% of their profits... Because that really makes sense you know :rolleyes:
 
Ya, because steam is forcing people to get high speed, which is why the ISP companies are getting profit. Thus, steam is making money because of their shitty system which basicall forces you to have it. Steam should only be for online games like Coutner-Strike. I bet you Valve is losing so much profit to those with 56k, who just want to play the single player of HL2.
