Agree x1000. Nothing but a bunch of sly griefers, 6 year olds and, rarely, people who just want to enjoy the game and its experience.
[QUOTE=killz2much;24761585]Gabe didn't like the fact that ported games on PS3 always have to be dumbed down and still ran like a piece of crap. Valve develops their games on PC and usually port to the Xbox 360 since the coding is incredibly similar. However, you can tell that Gabe was getting annoyed by MS forcing them to charge for their updates. Then Sony comes along and says, "We'll let you integrate Steam into the PS3 so you can do whatever you like." I guess Valve is learning about the PS3's hardware to make sure they can either port it or rebuild Portal 2 around the PS3's hardware so the graphics and framerate don't take a hit. Plus with the use of Steam they can put out bug fixes, performance issue fixes, content, etc whenever they want.[/QUOTE] Valve have been making setting up a PS3 team since the Orange Box release on PC.

As a known fact steam is way better than xbox because with steam you don't have to pay for a subscription to play online its free and theres several other things that prove this.
really the only things i use my xbox for is perfect dark hd and not much else
[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;24745149]Steam alone is a train wreck. Even on a 4 core, 2 GPU and 8GB system; the fucker still makes my Win7 load like shit. Postpones my start up by atleast 5 minutes.[/QUOTE] Settings>interface>uncheck run steam when my system starts.

[QUOTE=poopsicle;24731042]It was made by valve. What do you expect.[/QUOTE] What?
It's not surprising that Microsoft has to insist on charging for everything. IIRC they're steadily [I]losing[/I] money with the xbox. That might not be true anymore though since the parts are cheaper now.
[QUOTE=Sift;24744977]Gabe newell is kind of a dumbass when it comes to consoles. I respect him and love Valve but seriously he really needs to shut up with consoles. "Yeah 360 allows us to get content to everyone and is a great service. Fuck the ps3, it's a trainwreck and one of the most complicated machines out there and we simply don't want to fuck with it. Enjoy you're 360 exclusives everyone!" -Portal 2 announcement "Yeah Ps3 is the best system and will have the best, everything about the Ps3 is great and it has the best service, but oh man that 360, total trainwreck, who would ever enjoy [i]that[/i]" Dude can't make up his mind at all[/QUOTE] did you even bother reading the article
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24730210]Why is my steam constantly slow and freezing up.[/QUOTE] Because you have a shit computer and shit connection?
When the next generation comes, I'm just not going to get a fucking console. I'll stay on the PC. Fuck, mayby OnLive will be usable by the time the next generation comes.

First valve hates PS3 and is in love with xbox, now they hate xbox and love PS3, valve is fucked up.
[QUOTE=gparent;24730213]I'm really not surprised by this. Microsoft makes it a pain in the ass for companies to deliver content how they want, and it benefits no one except MS' pockets as usual. It's totally the opposite of VALVe, where they aim for customer satisfaction, constant production of free high-quality content, and maintenance of their games.[/QUOTE] True, but then again, Microsoft's strong side is computers. And if anyone disagrees with this because they're still in denial after buying a MAC, just to notice how crappy it is, meaning you're not entitled to an opinion, because the thing you're reading this with now, is not a legitimate computer by human standards. :v:
