Total War Rome 2 MASSIVE INTERNET DOWNLOAD

[kriskr0s]

I have recently bought Rome 2 hard disk form from a local store, provided the store charged me more than steam does, however my logic is I am saving in internet download usage. AHAH ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WRONG. Apparently the THREE disks I just bought allow a surprising maximum 2.4 GB of game download, guess where the rest (total 9.9GB!!) of downloadable game is found. I'll give you a hint it starts with S and ends with a bitter taste in your mouth when you scream the damn name at the computer. Don't get me wrong Steam is a great place to download games and interact with other gamers. But when it comes to downloading 6.5 GB of a game I bought on hard disk form, it kinda screams I'M A COMPANY WHO CARES SOLELY ON PROFIT.
Now I'm not sure if this is normal to have only downloaded 2.4GB of the game from only one disk and some how the other two disks are rendered useless. But I don't have the internet plan to support a game download of such a massive size, thus making the game unplayable and my upstanding opinion on Steam and Total War games the same place this expensive game is travelling if there is no other alternative but a massive internet usage bill.
If there is an alternative and you are able to help my situation please do, otherwise please join in my complete disgust and disgruntled opinion on obvious money hungry companies.
Thank you.

How does a game having patches equate to money hunger? lol.

Try this:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5357-FSQM-0382

Even then you WILL still need to download any updates released since the game.

However, while I'm no Valve fan boy (I do complain about Valve/Steam myself at times) I don't think you can really accuse them of ONLY caring for profit (though of course they do care about profit). Especially when you consider that they support and update their own games for so long and release ALL of their DLCs for free on PC.

I'm not sure how it would profit Valve to make you download a game either.

The thing is Steam is a digital download service. Even with discs the fact is these days you have to expect to download a fair amount of data, it's the nature of PC gaming now with or without Steam.

The problem here really is your crappy internet deal (I realise of course there may not be a better alternative).

Thank you for the help but unfortunately it is not working, I have tried several times and even manually tried to excess the files it asks for, yet no luck. Nevertheless thank you.
