Well, if you buy the steam version, the biggest plus will be that you can download the game immediately (although I suppose it would be a bit hard to download it right now, cuz there'll be a lot of ppl trying to do the same.) The minus is that you won't have the box, which I think is cool.
If you buy the hard copy, you'll get the box, but you'll have to wait for it.
I personally bought the hard copy, because it was cheaper than the steam version.

I don't understand the purpose of creating such idiotic threads.

and all Rome 2 are steam.

Theere is no need for rudeness.

Hard copy, it usually drops in price first.

[kamikazee786]

My internet speed is terrible, so yes ive bought the hard copy

[Ushoron]

I had to preorder via steam because I leave for the university the day before release and we have no game stores in town.

I would love to have had the Rome 2 box simply because I like the idea of possessing a physical object instead of a digital right to access.

There really is no point in this question Sun, even the hard copies of Rome II are "Steam", because you can't play the game without it.

Anyway, when we talk about Rome II the differences are: with the digital copy you get to download sooner and potentially play as soon as it unlocks, but you won't get a box, with the hard copy you get the nice box, but you might not get it on day one, if you do, however, you won't have to download the game. Also, depending on where you live, the hard copy can cost less, and depending on your internet speed a digital copy might not be a viable option, but I don't think that's you case, since you can upload HD videos to youtube.

It depends on what matters most to you: if you want to be absolutely sure to play on day one, get a digital copy and preload with steam, if you want the cheapest+box go with hard copy.

Doesn't really matter, you still get al, the content from steam so hard copy is just a cheaper steam version in a sense.

[pajomife]

LOL. Assuming that in the other thread +90% pre ordered the game it will be a hot day to Steam servers.

hard for hardcore gamers

[Bothocevil]

I have pre-order thru steam...

[Troabarton89]

Steam but only because the postal system in my area is very unreliable and the local video game stores hardly feature PC games at all anymore.

[JankoMega]

Steam, Steam and some more Steam.

[Hetman Khmelnytsky]

It's all about Steam guys, I don't buy hard copies anymore except in occasional situations.

steam standard price is even higher than amazon hard copies

Seems everyone is leaning toward steam, I'm afraid if something happens to the game on steam or something, like if I lose it or something haha
Just paranoid.
