Anyone else think Crysis 2 is a must have with steamworks instead of EA servers and whatnot? I honestly think EA should just give in and give us Steamworks. It'll save us a lot of time with communications and everything

I'd have to say Steam, cause I've had better luck vs hackers with Steam, than any other server.

did Gabe send you???

No, steam svcks.

No, steam svcks.

Oh yeah.. let's use xfire >.>

? What does xfire have to do with anything?

used to hate steam... now I dig it weird eh?

haha ur not the only one. I used to hate steam too cause my computer couldn't handle it and it just took too long to load. Tat was when I bought counterstrike source. But now I love it!!!! Best program ever. It really brings the PC gaming community together and makes everything so much easier. I hope the pre order comes to steam soon.

Yeah steam is a must have vote on my poll http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7456

Steam made some progress over the past months.

Sorry but no. I for one do not want to use Steam. While I have it for a few titles, I dont like it one bit. It completely destroys my right of resale with game purchases. For me thats a deal breaker.

since when have you ever been able to re-sell pc games?

Regardless, steamworks would be nice but as long as it's on steam (it will) i'll be happy ^^

lol, resale a game.
Well, if the terms of that game allows you to then it's fine, but I think you should read it before buy.

No Steam, no buy. I like Steam achievements, the only system that really works for it.

NO!!! it's not Valve's game! i keep seeing you annoying people with Steamworks for every PC game on every forum! including Battlefield 3!! the answer is NO!! get it in your head for !! NO!!

Steamworks is a low budget solution for games as CS,Homefront,SeriousSam,MW2 (which proved to be a total disaster)

Steam is a f**k sh*t.

<3 Steam

Better Steam than EA's community.

Seems like this divides gamers, but I'm sure the majority would prefer Steam. Just chuck in a poll: Steamworks or EA (whatever they call it).

What reasons do those that oppose Steamworks have?

Wow, I'm seeing alot of Steam lovers, and Steam haters, I like steam, like I said in my last post, but I don't hate EA's servers, the only thing I care about is which servers are going to be better at stopping Hackers from flying around the map with a SMG killing people with one shot each.

I have love/hate relation with steam

pros: discounted price deals are often good, friends list works good
cons: huge abuse of consumers right, flexibility, high level of scam/fraud

Steam is a major annoyance in term of freedom, beause if you buy a game on it, you have to be logged in to play it, i dont know what they think, but I like to have games installed on my 2 computers, so i can play in LAN or coop with a friend. My second computer is a gaming laptop, so it wont have connection available at all times, or the steam port is often blocked in public places/ university. Yes there is the offline mode, but the developper have the possibility to make their game unavailable in off-line mode ( ex.: Garry's mod). Also steam policies for users are way too unfair, for exemple, my friend bought a game on steam a few weeks ago via paypal, but the guy managing steam paypal account canceled the transaction. So he had the game in his account and they had no money, they locked his account, and we had to waste a lot of time on the phone to be able to find a deal to unlock his account ( over 300$ of games in it !). Go ahead, read their TOS/user policy and see how weaponless you are against them.

Nothing beat having the nice retail box on your desk.

None of my games require me to be online with steam, unless you're refering to online games, which require internet anyway. Garrys mod has a singleplayer component, which is playable when offline. Even with it's faults, I still love steam, and would also love to see Crysis 2 making an appearance on it.

I prefer an ingame browser ,with friendlist and its ok

You can do that with any game. All you have to do is add it as a non-steam game to your library, play it from steam's library and it's done

yes i know u can .the only reason i ll prefer steam is for purchasing and preorder methods cause i use only paysafe;p
