The other day I found a great deal on Darksiders II at Target. It was too good to pass up. It was normally $49.99, and was on sale for $40 off. It was only $9.99. I couldn't believe it was this cheap. I just figured since the gaming company went bankrupt that they were just clearing it out or something.
May I have a drumroll please? I went to install it, and it kept wanting to install it to Steam. I thought maybe somehow there was a glitch with Steam being automatically connected. I manually shut Steam down, and try to download again. It once again says Steam is required.
I figured I may as well look at the box, and look at the system requirements. Sure enough it states that Steam is required. Since when do games bought at a brick and mortar still require Steam? I know games like Diablo III require connectivity, but this is just lame.
I wanted to buy a game that I could just play offline, but now I have to jump through hoops to play it with Steam offline. I guess if a price seems too good to be true I better check out the system requirements from now on.
