Last january I got Resident Evil 4 remake. Before that I also got Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate 3, Wanted:Dead, Thaumaturge and MGS Delta. Now I'm working aborad so theres no way for me to play anything on my console but I'll be getting MGS Master Collection, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate and Death Stranding 2 once I'll come back home. I used to own nice collection of steelbooks, but I sold it few years ago when I was out of work and needed money ASAP. I don't regret selling my stuff, and I'm glad that I was able to get some of my money back.
I've never bought new release that wasn't on disc, and never bought digital version that wasn't on 75%+ discount. To be honest the most I've ever payed for digital game was 12 bucks.

you retards cheer about steam and its giant monopoly and gouging 30% off all devs for the privilege of using their malware client hat simulator, but sony is evil for going digital only next gen. you realize they make like 3% of their revenue from physical sales this gen? and physical is like 20% of total sales compared to 80% of digital currently? only boomers buy physical cases and swap out discs like a fucking retard. the discs are usually just installers that download massive update to make it playable anyways, so you are buying a piece of plastic that does nothing, but is required in the slot at all times to be playable. and you paid more for a disc drive for the privilege of getting up and swapping discs every time you want to play a different game.

Either you're retarded or corporate shills. Physical game copies install directly from the disc without need for an internet connection, Sony's Blu-rays can hold 128GBs so at most games need two discs to fully install and the vast majority install off a single disc. We don't live in 2005.

What happened to the good old put the disk in and play of the PS2 and 360 days? Why do I need to install a fucking thing? I swear this was supposed to be a console not a PC where you have to install the game first.
Consoles were ruined the second you couldn't plug and play anymore. This is just the natural death of discs following that.
>>
>>742341983
I don't really care to spend $140 on a video game, so I've been playing games from the early 2000s instead.

Looking forward to spending some money (not $140) on Ace Combat and Star Wars Racer.

disc load/read times are slow as fuck compared to hard drives and especially compared to SSDs, modern games would have literal 10 minute long load screens if they ran off disc still. Lots of modern games are designed around constantly loading assets and just wouldn't work at all off of a disc. Installing off the disc is fine as long as the game is actually on there, it's just the way technology changed and progressed. Hard drives were only just starting to outpace disc read times when the 360 was new.

I feel nothing for consolefags, you all went out and dropped $100 on GTA VI, you're getting exactly what you deserve.

>>742352437
Sounds like a design flaw to me. Maybe create more powerful consoles. Fucking Warzone can run on your mobile phone and you can't make a console that runs off the disc in good times?

I bought Battlefield 2 about 20 years ago. The CD-key wasn't valid so I had to spend 2 weeks going through EA's customer support email before the game even worked.
From then on, I only bought games on Steam and havent missed physical media ever since. Fuck discs.

You might argue the last one is GKC, but I can ( and will) sell it and recoup most of the money I paid.
I will never but a digital game on launch, it will always have a steep discount in the next 6 months or so.
All my Nintendo 1st party are physical and I can sell them almost full price and probably more in the coming years.

Who cares... It's physically demanding to get up, open up the case, take out the disc, put it in the console, close the case, put the case back, walk back to the couch and finally start the game.

Whereas digital you sit comfortably on the couch and just use your controller to select your game on the screen and play. Easy.

That's too much. The game should select itself when it knows I want to play

I will preorder it to kill vidya once and for all
>>
Yeah these people didn't learn anything in the last 15 years. They pre-ordered a game full price which they know nothing about except what the cover looks like. They were happy to buy it without even an option for physical disc, meaning this game can never be sold used for example. Not surprised if it will be always online even in the single player.

Maybe people who pre-ordered this really need to be microchipped.
>>
>>742356465
The physical comes out same time as digital
>>
>>742342317
you will never be a dudebro, dude
>>
>>742342317
Even if you were to buy it when it comes out, why pre-order without seeing one second of gameplay and knowing it will take weeks and months for them to fix the bugs. Did they promise you get a nice hat in the game if you pre-order?

>>742342132

A few weeks ago, 007 first light for ps5.
There was only a disc in a box and not a single other thing. Not even a pamphlet with an ad. It was kinda pointless.
Like 90% of all my ps5 games are digital and like 70% of my ps4 games are digital.
I really don't care about losing physical.
People are just pretending to give a shit because they think its important but like all entertainment is digital anyways. Music and movies are all streamed, games are mostly bought digitally. Like nearly every indie game is digital only anyways.
Nothing is gonna significantly change for most people.

the one thing /v/ fails to realize is that the average consumer is retarded.
they do not think like /v/ (many times that's a good thing).
they want entertainment, they don't care about quality, this is evident by the fact that they mindlessly buy the next fifa/madden/Cod despite them all functionally being the same game.
the average consumer doesnt look at GTA VI news and think "wow, these are bad decisions", the average consumer doesnt look at GTA VI news at all, they only pay attention to the curated information rockstar releases.
the gaming industry will die because the average player is a retard who just wants moving pictures on screen, and the industry is too lazy and filled with DEI fags to put effort into anything.
