I went to into the game store and bought Warhammer 40k Chaos Rising, I was going to buy Napoleon Total War but it clearly had a steam (must connect to the internet) sign on the back. Chaos Rising didnt. When I go to install it comes up with the message that in order to play it I have to install Steam and Windows Live. Windows Live was clearly visible on the back and I accepted it, Steam was not. So I go and install steam, but now it says it has update it. It says it will be ready to play in 1 day. Fucking hell, is it possible for me just to install the fucking game on my computer and play it? I didnt want steam now I have to deal with this shit. I bought the game with my money and im playing on my god damn laptop which I payed for. Now im raging like the fist of the north star at Gabe and Steam. I want to play my mother fucking game, I dont care if I wont be able to play it online, how long does this shit take, havent they already verified it? I verified my account. Could someone please help?

Cool story bro.

On a serious note. If you're complaining about steam, wait until you use the absolute shitty service that is Windows Live.

[Huesoo]

Im serious, I fucking hate this thing and I just want to play the game offline, I have really shitty internet currently and just want to play the game. Its pissing me off that I cant play the game I bought. Now it says 1 day and 3 hours.

Return it? If it didn't say that you required steam to play on the box then that's a valid reason to return it for a refund.

[Pathos]

Windows Live IS worse, though.

[nenjin]

Are you on dial-up? And I take it you've tried shutting down Steam and restarting it?

Im serious, I fucking hate this thing and I just want to play the game offline

Well get ready, because many games have special procedures for getting them to work in offline mode. You also MUST connect through Steam the first time you play the game, so it can set stuff up, before you can play it offline. Same with Windows Live.

Windows Live IS worse, though

I hate both. *shrugs*

Yeah it really is a steaming pile of shit. Dont waste your time with it. I hear about people getting screwed by some shit that happens on steam so much I dont understand why people bother to use it.

Holy shit I have no idea how to work Print screen. I press Alt+ print screen (it says insert, then prt sc under it in a small box), go to paint, but theres nothing there to paste.

[Cthulhu]

Try Fn-Print Screen.

And Steam is awesome.  For every one person you hear complaining about how Gabe Newell ate their games and Steam killed their mom and had sex with their dog, there are thousands of people who love it.  The complaining people are just a lot louder.

I've actually lost an account and I still like steam. Simply because it's a nice place for all my stuff and that it works better as a chat program than anything I have used before.

[Huesoo]

Fuck it, Im retarded or print screen just doesnt work. Now it says 15 hours and 59 minutes now. I wouldnt mind Valve at all if it was optional, but this shit fest is madatory.

[cowofdoom78963]

It's mandatory for a reason though.

[dogstile]

I still can't stop laughing at how you accept GFWL and not steam.

ITT guy on terrible connection rages at how the internet is too slow.

...What?
