How about just buying the game and using a No-DVD. That way it isn't theft and the game developers might just keep on writing for the PC.

That was partly what I meant, although pirating it is also an option.

My point was that either way is much easier (and cheaper) than installing a modchip in your Xbox etc.


I downloaded the demo for Just Cause 2, 2.5GB, It installed steam, then wouldn't run without connecting to the net and updating steam.

I last wiped all traces of it off my system a number of years ago.

Anyhow, It gets sillier.

I decided earlier to reinstall the demo and let steam do what it wanted to do so I could try the game.

Imagine my surprise when after installed and accessing the internet Steam informed me I didn't have the demo and it would download it for me.

So far as I can tell the 1Gb download was steam itself and I don't have the demo files :(

What a crock of ****.

Removed the lot for the second time in two days.

870118 2010-03-28 10:23:00 Yeah that's what it does, if the files have been updated since you installed them, it will update them (if you like it or not)

If that means it has to re-download them, then that's what it will do.

870119 2010-03-28 22:30:00 Agreed on PC games, the downnloading and hassles take out so much time in your life it is not worth pirating any more, nothing worse than downloading 6Gb (over 3 days) to find out it is russian or wont run LOL
Just wait for the games to come down and buy them then, unless you really need the $100 game now.
PS3 from me, but only cos i have never had a 360

Kaa? umm ok, Sounds like you were a limewire or lame Public Torrent site user, where 12 year old's rename there shares for shits and giggles just to annoy people lol

Playing First person shooters or RTS games with a PS3 or Xbox controller is "totally" gay not to mention lower graphics and frame rates, rules out my two favorite genres on console although I have a 360.
