I really wish you could say 'I never want to buy or try the demo for this game ever ever' and hide it from the list
meh, on the other hand Ant I did waste a large part of my life with halflife and its various mods and Steam was a giant blotch on that. Of course it doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things, but I enjoy gaming and when I see that enjoyment being messed with I comment about it.
In reality, in this case anyway, I dont't give a shit other than it took me 3 minutes to start Steam up because of the updates. That I hate!

Ant, on the other hand, stop defending Valve for everything anyone remotely questions.
don't forget uss darkstar or coconut monkey for quake2 either, everything he's done is incredibly addictive and fun to play!
whats the solution? DAILY BACKUPS, I can heartily recommend a number of backup solutions, if you dont use one your data is ever more likely to be lost every day you use your pc.
im not going to bother commenting, valve has gone far enough for even you lot to say something
have you ever used an online store xyos?
i wish every games company had its own online store, so I had 30 icons on my desktop

I think we're digressing from the fact that Steam is awful and Valve are awful for creating it, theyve taken more money in terms of time getting things to work, than they did when I bought HL2.
This was a badly written and nonsensical rant to fit in with the above 5 replies.

EA/DICE have been given my seal of 'perma boycott' after BF2, its not like its hard to avoid their games, I know I'll be dissapointed and frustrated playing them anyway.
My main argument (again) was that they arent producing more pricing models, the result being a single increase price. It would be nice for these addons, especially given the popularity of TFC, to be sold seperately like everything else on steam.

What the christ does unique gameplay mean? I'd say my 30 hour romp through Dungeon Siege with a friend was pretty unique! Even if you literally mean 'you are not grinding' or 'visting the same place' Oblivion has at least 40 hours of gameplay in it, I just wanted to do every major questline.
(I use the term 'next gen' to mean the future direction of gaming, whatever it may be, hl2 is not really graphically comparable to more recent games)

Thats some great logic there kasperg, I couldn't help but think of it as I hit the 200hour mark in Oblivion.
What you actually mean is it tends to COST more, tomb raider still took a couple years to make, especially given the antiquated hardware. Anyway, episode1/2 are expansions and not seperate games. HL2 is nearly 2 years old now, its hardly 'next gen' and they already have a great deal of the content (esp the engine) made.

It does justify the content but I thought they loved doing 3 million pricing models, so people could dispense with stuff they didnt want. I suppose if they bundle 1 and 2 in a pack wit the rest i'll have to go with that, 8 hours is about as long as Prey anyway.
All games should be priced according to how good they are, it would make choosing which ones to buy so much simplerer!
if only fraps hadnt worked for habboi, I wouldn't cry myself to sleep every time I watch the last clip he posted
Im a bit confused too, how have they been lost?
While easily the best, Fraps really needs an overhall in terms of user-customisation, there arent nearly enough options and the frame rate counter is a giant yellow mess.
I did already state I couldnt blame them on business grounds, but if you honestly believe your trite statement then where do you draw the line, if ever. Would you accept an involutanry expansion pack that gave advantages to its users over those of the regular game (coughbf2)?
I'm only mildly annoyed, just don't accept everything from Valve so fucking blindly, like they're the gods of gaming or something.
(admittedly I should stop disagreeing with them so much)

Im glad that Valve have increased the prices of their products, Valve can do no wrong
When I think of potential I look at the single person who coded nebacularwhatever drop, that had all the same features that valve are introducing, only he coded his own engine too!
you have a crappy low resolution screenshot of a video on your desktop??
I think you are a fanboy and should be put to sleep
if anyone posts here that they are in any way grateful for the price hike, they should perhaps consider only posting on the steampowered forums

SA is quite appropriately the largest collection of internet idiots, someone gave me an account for my birthday and I berated them for it. It does produce some humerous content, but theres just SO much bullshit.
"You'll be able to buy Half-Life 2 plus Episodes 1 and 2 for the price of a full retail game, or you can buy the package with Episode 2 that includes Team Fortress 2 and Portal for a price that's between 'Episode 1 and full price.'"

It seems ever more unlikely Valve will be offering TF2/Portal as seperate downloads. I can hardly blame them on a business front, with the rabid fanbase they've got they could charge what they liked. Still bloody annoying though.

after playing the winning map I wonder if I need a new pc
With the scripting capabilities of the engine I bet its possible, albiet probably only in a sandbox mod like gmod
do those materials have a script that updates them or something? now THAT would be special
thats a nice fractal zombieloffe

all I know about Eve is that its one of these sadistic 'lose everything on death' mmorpgs, there was a brilliant story written about scamming people in it though

you may have noticed I was taking the piss, my sentence didnt even make any sense
I call that you cant tell either way, however im more inclined to think its lazy programming than another flipping conspiracy
Roll on episode 3 and the valu-pak!
How can you watch trailers for such a short game, doesnt it ruin everything?
any good design company can do fluid stylistic animation, it may be hl2 but theres a shitload of postprocessing going on in the background, from what I heard it requires about 30 frames being rendered per one frame displayed, so not really practical in a real game!
I think it pretty much has to be as you can't put a portal on the flipping sky

Valve couldnt do a conspiracy if they tried, remember how nuts people went about the leaked source?
Pyro and medic were in the original video and noone plays pyro anyway.

Why would I want to pirate a multiplayer game that I would gladly pay for, thats silly, I just dont want ep1 2 or 3 until they come in a large valu-pack
Hopefully they'll offer tf2/portal seperately, but I doubt it
Too bad it looks like we wont see tf2/portal/that other thing they come with till next year
I dont ressurect threads, see your other post
If you still thought portal was in any way a technical innovation, its amazing how easy it is to implement in the source engine. I'm sure you've seen the gmod one, this goes a step futher.
