Well as of tomorrow that'll be four whole weeks since Valve started talking about a patch, with no official update still as of yet. Disappointing in the extreme. They did at least give into the people having Securom (sp?) / DVD burner issues and made it so retail versions no longer need the DVD in the drive to play. Still now I have a DVD that'll never leave its box again and a broken game. Erm... great? Then again a lot of people who have finished it have come away disappointed. Very few other forums are even still talking about it, so I think that feeling may be universal.
Far Cry picked up my "Game of the Year" vote, with The Sims 2 coming in a close second (sorry but damn is that game hilarious.) It's sad that with the sequel to the "best PC game ever" sitting on my hard drive I've spent more time on those two (and even more on an import copy of SW:KOTOR II - TSL...). Valve really need to get with the program, and fast. Else no one will stick around for HL3 - then Steam dies out and where does that leave HL2 players..?
