So, I'm thinking about preordering from Direct2Drive...

Just for the Psycho Pack, of course. But this is where I run into my problem. I want to run the game on Steam, but will I be able to if I get the game from there? Much appreciated.

the game will have to be activated on Steam, D2D will prolly give you a code

from D2D site

This title installs and requires STEAM to play.

no matter where you get the game from, it runs on steam. Its actually impossible to run the game without steamworks

you can offline

I just tried to preorder from Direct2Drive, pressed preorder, says I have one item in cart but when I press checkout to select payment options, it says I have nothing in my cart…
Anyone else have this issue?

I have previously bought other games from Direct2Drive so my account is ok.

It’s a screw up on their site, now it says it’s country restricted on my IP, even if I select EU instead of UK.

clear cookies each time you try something different

It’s a fresh installed windows, so no cookies.

every time you log into a site, it sets a cookie

I would of preferred “Games for Windows” or “Games for Windows Market Place”. I don’t like Steam because it always takes forever to load games and sometimes games don’t load at all. I miss the days where you could click a Icon on the desktop and it runs the game straight away. :frowning:

You haven’t used Steam for a while have you? Either that or you are in serious need of a PC upgrade daz. Steam runs games fine.

GFWL on the other hand is a POS. Makes you load an update to your game before you can play it, but you can only update your game from inside the game, and then you have to restart the game to then get the NEXT update: wash, rinse, repeat for however many updates you missed unlike Steam which updates all in one hit whilst you’re idling on the desktop.

I know, right! And they don’t give a box for us normal people to put on our shelves either!

Yep, GFWL is junk.

Steam is great, blows GFWL out of the water.
