Reddit at its finest.
When this shit hole was hacked I visited the reddit boards for /vr/ and those cunts only showed their collections, if somebody tried to start a discussion for a game it either had a handful of answers discussing the game or a bunch of fags saying they would love to play the game if they could find it.
It made me so mad, fags where jerking off to fucking plastic instead of discussing the damn games.

You can simply buy an old console and hack it for cheap. Most retroniggers right now get all mad like tendies when you mention "yeah i love retrogaming, but i just buy physical copies of game i like"

You're forgetting that we have Insomniac's leak to show us that up to 70% of games Sony releases are sometimes sold physically vs. digitally. Sony's numbers also include DLC, microtransactions, and digital games in their "Digital purchases" tally instead of just the games.

Physical is falling off, but it's not as bad as the companies are trying to convince us they are since their own internal leaks show otherwise.
>>
>>720667834
uh yeah because if you count all DLCs, all the indie games and AI slop on the ps store as digital sales then yeah we can draw whatever figure we want.
For first party sony IPs it's mostly 50/50 which is very nice if you ask me, as per the latest reports the digital/physical ps5 split is also 50/50

so are you going to keep making random shit up to get mad about or.... ?

30% in only 5 years, imagine another 2 years, and PS6. After that Sony won't even sell a disc drive lol

I've gotten old now, and what you retards have lost is the ability to just go diving into your box of old stuff and pull something out you remember loving and getting into it.

ps6 is confirmed to have a disc drive
many physical-oriented stores with limited releases still exist and thrive
we already had multiple examples of games with multiple discs in the case (ironic because having one disc only was part of the blu ray marketing), games are simply not big enough even right now to fill a whole ass blu ray, unless it's shit like gta or call of duty or ubisloppa games
nintendo still has physical games, playstation still has physical games, even fucking xbox still has them

keep making shit up retard
>>
>>720672000
>even fucking xbox still has them
Begrudgingly in their case. Series games are a coin flip if they're on the disk or if the disk comes with the Xbone version and you need to download the Series game instead meaning the Series version only exists on Microsoft's servers. I fully believe if Microsoft makes one more console it'll be digital only. I can't imagine them keeping it up anymore. As it is the Kingdom Hearts games were digital only and Yakuza had to be released as an LRG release.

I know this is going to blow the youngin's minds, but before the internet (You) would just look at things for entertainment. You would look at the game case you would look at the manual you'd look at the magazine. Looking back it seems pretty caveman but it had a certain charm

>>720671443
I literally have no "physical" games except for maybe a couple of CDs at my old house and two consoles I barely touch. It looks cool but it's just so much easier to emulate: you can upscale games, make loading times insignificant, use safestates as you please, make screenshots, use fast-forward and other hacks, you can even play some of these games online. Emulation is literally a biggest gaming achievement of human spirit, all you objectively need outside of it is a DS/3DS.

But yeah cool collection.

PE1 isn't an RE-like, it's an RPG. 2 is, but I haven't gotten around to playing it. Dino Crisis is alright, just like a blander RE. Dino Crisis 2 kicks ass, but it's more of an action game.

I am too scared to press hotkeys on my steam deck. I am like 40 hours and if I press the wrong hot key it will send me back to the first 10 hours since that was my last quicksave. I am too scared to press the hotkey for 4x speed so the battles are super slow and annoying.
>>
>>720673715
PE1 is better. Is it's own unique RPG. PE2 is just RE with uglier graphics because they dumped the anime look. Dino Crisis 1 is watered down RE with Dinos but still decent. DC2 is an arcade action shooter and overall much better. It even has a silly versus multiplayer where you can pick between Dinos and I think there was even a tank? Not sure on that one.
>>
>>720673565
Emulation certainly has its place, mods and romhacks are cool, and its convinient and cheap. I use them myself. but i also think there is something to be said for enjoying some games on the hardware they were intended for. emu is never perfect on small stuff like bugs, latency, game assets loking strange on modern monitors and so on

Physical games are an archaic format. Modern gaming allows for constant updates, patches, and expansions for games, while dedicated game cards/discs for a single game are unable to write said data to it. Discs are generally too slow to play the data on it and require installing said data onto the console's memory first plus download any missing data not on the disc and updates.

The only thing that physical has over digital is reselling on the aftermarket, which is something that not everyone cares about.

>>720677715
I'm beginning to think you didn't realize I was asking a rhetorical question originally.

The hardware is worthless if the data written to it wasn't digital. Acting like hardware preservation is going to be the sole savior of old games is ridiculous since all you need to do is upload the data onto your hard drive and you can make as many copies as you want.
>>
>>720677754
With limited time you either drop the price fast or just give up. Personally I would just destroy it since I don't think people in this country(going to assume you're in the US) deserve anything good.

I did exactly that when moving out since I was surrounded by genuine retards and only donated a few quality stuff to people that were consistently nice to me and even vouched for me when I was down mentally.

That's not a digital v physical issue, That's an issue solely manufactured by console makers, it's part of why I lost interest in them. Picrel, haven't played this digital only game in over 10 years but I bet it will boot up with no issue if I wanted to play it again.

I would gladly part ways with my complete SH PS2 black label collection, my complete Resident Evil franchise collection, my copies of every DS/3DS Dragon Quest game, my PS2/3/P 龍が如く collection, and so much other shit if a guy just walked up to me and gave me a clean $5000 for all of it.
But that won't happen, so it's just gonna sit in a big bin in my closet until I die.

i don't think you know what desperate means.
>>
>>720680397
Desperate to be rid of it, but not to the degree where I'd put it in the fucking bin.
I would rather not get ripped off because I do know what I have. I have taken care of all of my games, every element of them is as they were on release, and whenever I do work up the energy to sell something, I am always complimented on how well taken care of the game is.
If I'm selling shit I properly took care, I want the right amount of money for it.

sounds like your only mad at the lack of space, or you still have attachments to it all, or you cannot let go and sell it all for "fuck off" prices.
>>
>>720680173
Same. Mine have been on my closet for years collecting dust. I rarely replay games years later. After I die the next owner of this house will have to deal with this mess. I've got everything starting with the NES.
>>
>>720680525
so, not desperate at all.

you might think you know what you got, but at the end of the day nothing is worth one penny more than what someone else is willing to pay you.
>>
>>720664771
I have 4 boxes of physical games I collected in my youth that do nothing but take up space. Every time I see them I have the urge to just take them down to goodwill to get rid of them. I dont get the hoarder mentality of wanting mountains of crap taking up space.
>>
>>720680630
>nothing is worth one penny more than what someone else is willing to pay you.
Oh, someone will pay the price I want. Made a clean $250 from a dupe of Shattered Memories PS2 I had a while back, but you want to know what I got during that?

>PS2/3/P 龍が如く collection
Okay, so sell it. Yakuza games don't sell for much at all outside of Dead Souls and the Australian Steelbooks of 4 and Dead Souls when it comes to the western market nowadays. PS2 1 and 2 got reprints by a Canadian store years ago which thankfully dropped the price heavily, especially on 2, and you can still buy them brand new sealed for $40ish. 3 and 4 were also in those reprints. 0 through 6 just got reprints on LRG for PS4 and they're the only ones holding any value at all now whereas the retail stuff is normally priced. Unless you have the Xbox LRG copies or 0 DC/Switch K1 you're not getting much return outside of like $20 per copy at best.

On the Japanese side you can get entire lots of games for $20 from Yahoo Auctions, and you can go on eBay right now and basically get the entire series on PS3 for $60. The most expensive I believe I saw was 1&2 HD Wii U going for like $25.

They report DLC and microtransaction as digital sales on top of games, it's not just games. We don't get actual "Just games" numbers outside of leaks, and the Insomniac leaks specifically show you how it's not that drastic at all behind the scenes.

fucking kill all zoomer faggots who latched onto survival horror games and fuck all of the remakes of these games

>>720683082
Physical copies have nothing to do with game ownership you retard. If I buy a DRM-free digital game off GOG, I own that game and can do whatever I want with the data. Digital copies can also be backed up/archived by the owner instead of being left to rot on a cartridge or flash memory card.

It's better to jailbreak a console that is backwards compatible or to just emulate than to amass a large collection. There's really no point unless you like to admire your collection, which is retarded. With a jailbroken console and a sufficiently sized hard drive, I can play all the games!

Most PS5 games still have some or full data on a disc, but the data lacks any patches/updates and needs to be installed onto console memory first. After that the disc is literally just an access key for the game.

>>720664771
physical games are nice but just aren't the same anymore these days. when you got a physical games you got the whole game, no need for patches, updates, or dlc to play the whole game. also not to say there been the habit of re-releasing the game.
