I was like that for ages with cs1.5, but tbh.
Steam isnt as bad as people say, altho i get annoyed at the amount of games they release lol....
If you bought everygame on steam, you would spend a good few hundred dollars. i dare say you would spend nearly 500$,
Best game on steam if Gmod, seriously,
gm_solarsystem ftw.
You get to control anything and everything ever made within the HL2 engine, its a sandbox editor for the engine.
Its amazing tbh, you can build a spaceship, add air,heat and energy supplies, with envoirment controls. Then you gotta add thrusters, balance it. Make sure it hovers, then weld it all together, meaning you can have 100 items, all welded together, with realy pyshics and gravity effects. Then fly then up into the sky of the map. to find your in space, the solarsystem, eah planet is a small map basically.
And you need to add a atmosphere to different planets, and/or heat depending which one.
Basically its cool
, but you need a good few hours to play a session
