[citation][nom]stingstang[/nom]Direct2drive.com has the same games as steam. Sure, they're not discounted as much sometimes, but that's walmart...I mean Steam for ya.So ah...anyone else not surprised that a 3 -cough- 5 -cough- 7 year old game requires such minimal hardware to play? I'm positive it will be good, but you know there are going to be people complaining that it doesn't have cutting-edge graphics...which we all KNOW makes the game more than the gameplay.[/citation]
D2D doesn't have any VALVe games. So it doesn't quite have EVERY game Steam has and also some indie titles are Steam only.
Plus, Steam manages the games and has in game communication built in. Of course you don't need to have Steam running for most non-VALVe titles, not sure on DN Forever but Batman AA or others like it will run without Steam running.
As for the game itself, the graphics look good and I am glad it doesn't take a uber system to run. I guess we didn't learn from Crysis.
This just means Duke for the masses.
