Hooked Gamers' CaptainPatch: "I hate Steam. No, make that "I _HATE_ Steam!" Dealing with Steam has never been easy for me. It seems that EVERY time I am required to interact with Steam, something goes awry.
Today I broke down and acquired Mafia II. Got home, opened it up and saw that authentication via Steam is required. [Queue the ominous music.] So I start the install process and instead of installing the game and then going to Steam, you are _first_ required to open a Steam account. Okay, I can deal with that. Create the account, copy the account info to MyDocuments, and receive the happy message that I am now the proud owner of a new Steam account. Then I continue with installing the game. Finally, it's all done and ready to go!
Or is it?"

GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
According to Valve: “The launch of Steam Deck will be delayed by two months. We’re sorry about this—we did our best to work around the global supply chain issues, but due to material shortages, components aren’t reaching our manufacturing facilities in time for us to meet our initial launch dates. Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will start shipping to customers February 2022.”
Totally understandable given the current climate, but also a big blow for hype for sure. I would not be surprised if there was a further delay down the road, given how unpredictable assembly lines are at the moment.
That's a bummer, but only 2 months, and understandable given how unpredictable HW is right now.
Disappointing but not really surprised. I'll still be waiting and keep my pre order
well.....i love steam so f*ck you....
Ive always had a problem with one or 2 demos but good software nevertheless. And yes tht is a word i looked it up ;D
Buying box copy in store that requires Steam activation = fail
Buying game through Steam = win
If you are dumb enough to buy a box copy that requires a steam activation, you deserve the frustration you are getting.
What a joke, read what he wrote...

So he has problems with Steam, but is just NOW creating an account, the whole article is probably one big lie to hate on Steam.
Next time read the warning in the Back of the box. Obvious troll is obvious.
