d2d it is, unless somebody can give me a good reason not to in the next few minutes.. I like steam for it's convenience, but I don't use the community features anyway, so that part doesn't matter to me.

Well in the beta we were unable to join Steam friends in game so unless that works in retail d2d is just as good. I went with Steam to get my beta access easier.

Random Steam sales is kinda what has me by the short hairs. I love it when they randomly go "That game you loved like 5 years ago, but forgot about......Boom $5. Buy it." That is great to me.

yeah i like that too

d2d does that a lot too. I like both services, to be honest, but If I can get away with less drm by going with d2d, I will.

Well not quite... My university has fairly fast internet (from what I am used to at home). Here is the benchmark. Benchmark is usually a tad higher. But guys... NO TORRENTS ALLOWED OR YOU GET B& (trust me, I tried to explain to a security guard about "what a linux was" and how it was legal).



But anyway,



This person is a retard. OMG 100 REPLIES GUISE. Too bad there were like 1600+...

That was hilarious!

they might not even cancel/refund me in time... no problem.. i'll play it if i have it.

The real question is shev, with a rig like yours, what does it matter? Your setup should play the game completely maxed out at 60 or more fps almost constantly, so why does it need better optimization in order to warrant the purchase?

Should I grab this off of steam, or direct2drive?

I chose Steam myself since I have other games on it and I don't want to sit here remembering where all my Digital copies are, like if I had bought this from EA, then something from D2D then something from Steam, would just be a pain.

I am still looking back and wishing I had bought some of my games on disc, but realize that I hate lugging around disks. Instead Steam makes it so easy, all I need is the internet! Now if Steam ever goes under (unlikely) how screwed are we though? Might not care by then, seeing as the games will probably be 20 years old, and Windows will no longer be popular, and Macs will rule... *shudder*.

Yes, I'd say it's 1pm PST for release.

Whilst us unlucky sods in the UK have to wait until Friday. :cry:

But then we'll hopefully get the patch too although that might delay us getting our server online at XSG. :(

Everyone's welcome btw :D

1pm PST. for Steam users.


Go to hell.

SP was really short and really easy on Normal. Not sure on the exact time but I started it on Sat and finished it on Sun. Ate, slept and went out and saw two movies, and watched a movie at home (just to give a general idea of timeframe) so I didn't sit and play it straight through for two days. I got all but 5 collectibles and 3 m-com stations.

this is no surprise. anybody who has ever bought pre-ordered a game from steam expects to be delayed atleast 12 hours. steam just cant get their shit together when it comes to actually launching a game on time. god only knows what they are doing in the mean time...

From L4D2 I remember I first heard the term, "Valve Time," which is the actually time of release, which is generally 2-6 hours after the game is scheduled to come out. What pissed me off most was people who worked for Steam were playing L4D2, and when I messaged one, he responded, "Yeah we haven't lit the cigars yet, someone forgot to upload the decryption algorithm for the pre-load, it might be a while..."
