Physical only players and consoles owners, right now almost everyone refuses to buy game key cards and i think thats mostly because they have the switch 1 versions of the games, but would you do when eventually the switch 1 version isnt released? Buy digital? Buy it for PS5? Also PS6 is likely going to be digital
>>722061650>right now almost everyone refuses to buy game key cards and i think thats mostly because they have the switch 1 versions of the gamesNo, it‘s because it‘s the worst of both worlds. You have to put the cart in every time you wanna play a game unlike digital and you have to download the whole game online unlike physical. There‘s no reason to buy them unless you want the game cases but you can just buy empty cases and print out a cover to put into them if you want it that bad. Definitely one of the more retarded ideas nintendo came up with and that‘s saying something
>>722061650I just won't buy it, or maybe buy it for PC where the fight is already lost>Buy it for PS5It will be basically the same but not so strongly marked as it anyway
I will just pirate than. No physical no buy.
>>722061650I mostly buy physical for ps5 now but if there‘s deep sales for games i like then i also get them digitally because the playstation handheld is definitely gonna be digital only>Also PS6 is likely going to be digitalIt‘s confirmed to be digital with a disc drive like the ps5 slim>>722061927The vast majority of ps5 games have the whole game on the disks. It‘s mostly trash publishers like microsoft, ubisoft or ea that pull of the download shithttps://www.doesitplay.org/
Why do people make threads that start a discussion and then just leave
>>722061927>It will be basically the sameWhy?
I feel bad for console players sometimes. Apparently some games can't be played from disc alone, you need to install a portion of it onto the hard drive before playing, kind of like what PSP games would offer OPTIONALLY. Imagine having to uninstall games from your console to play other games despite using physical discs
>>722061650If PS6 comes out within the next 5 years it will flop hard. Don't be delusional bro
>>722064605Feel bad for yourself. All your PC games are digital purchases.
>>722061650I love Switch 1/2 as hybrid consoles, for power I got PC and I just pirate games there most of the time. And I think gamekeys are a good thing, being able to let someone borrow your games is great. This whole "digital only = good" shit is just propaganda from companies.
>>722063237they dont want to be one of those annoying faggots who start a thread and reply to every single post
>>722063237because nintendo threads are never made with the interest of sparking real conversation in mind. it's all just interaction bait for anti-nintendo anons and nintendo fanboy anons.
>>722061650>Game key cards are le bad!!!Now tell me why do you have to wait for your "physical" game to be "installed" when it Is already on the disc, stupid niggers
>>722061650All I ask is for MHS 3 not to be a keycard. Please, I begged the heavens to give us a regular game card.
>>722061650"almost everyone" might be a bit of a stretch. it would be idiotic to assume gkc ISN'T making some sort of impact, but we also don't have enough data to determine anything, considering there aren't any must-have third party releases thus far. all we have right now is sentiment, which can be deceptive thanks to the algorithmic internet.>>722065925not happenin' buddy. that game's gonna be 50gbs and on game key for sure.
>>722066208>50gbsThey're recycling the rigs from the old games.
>>722065165Because the console copies the game from the disk to storage? You still actually own the game on the disk
Something about paying $80 for a video game and not having a complete on disc/cart physical item to show for it just doesn't sit right with my soul.
>>722061650>Buy it for PS5?yes>Also PS6 is likely going to be digitalthe leaks almost confirm it will have a drive.
>>722065095>nintendo fanboybe honest. no one spergs like tendies.
>>722061650I'm just buying digital.We're not living in the Wii era anymoreGames, even Nintendo ones release unfinished, have day 1 updates or receive inevitable expansions that make your cartridge nothing more than a physical pass to access digital content. You don't own jack fucking shit, you cope because you own a plastic cartridge.>b-but they might shut down the services one day The Wii released in 2006 and you can still redownload titles as long as you've purchased them. I don't see Nintendo fucking over digital consumers for a long time yet.
>>722067569It‘s also hard to imagine that newer consoles won‘t have backwards compatibility all the way back until switch/ps4. These consoles barely change and backwards compatibility is a huge selling point
>>722061650If I can't own the game on cartridge for Switch 2, I'm going to pirate it for PC.
>>722064952But you can even lend your digital games to friends now with that virtual game card thing.
>>722068984It's just easier to hand my family the game physically, no hassle.
>>722067309just look at how sonyfags are sperging out in ananta threads lol
>>722061650I have so many physical games from my childhood that just sit and boxes and take up so much fucking space, I don't get how any grown adult finds it important. Especially when digital storage is so cheap now.Like yeah it was nice to lend games to my friends when I was younger, but now that I'm in my mid 20's none of my friends give a shit anymore, and we all have our own jobs and can afford vidja when we want it.I also don't get how physicalchads are so obsessed with Nintendo in particular, when Xbox and Playstation are clearly queued up to stop selling consoles with disk drives.
>>722067569>Switch 2 first party is the only consistent use of actual carts and not game key cards>however any actual Switch 2 exclusives are outright cheaper digitally, like they just have a cheaper price poiunt by about £9This is ultimately the straw that broke the camels back for me. Digital is cheaper and easier, and on top of that I doubt third parties will bother with proper physical anyway.Bonus that Pokemon Legends and Metroid Prime I can even get cheaper with the Switch 1 duo game voucher thing.
>>722069763God I love those vouchers, so useful. It'd be nice if they did a Switch 2 version of them down the line once the library fills up a bit, maybe 2 for $120 USD?
>>722069854I didn't use them once before now, stuff just never lined up in a way for it to be worth it for me. But I noticed you can get them that way and then upgrade and realized that saves a good chunk, it's great.I do hope they add some sort of reward system to Switch 2. They're removing both gold points AND the vouchers, and those were both great reward systems.
>>722061650>Goy key>PhysicalTop Kek.
>>722069939See I'd always just buy a pair of vouchers for one game, and then have faith that another Switch 1 game would come out within a year that I would want. Which was always true for me at least.And yeah the gold point thing is a bummer, but I'd guess they are overhauling rewards and MyNintendo stuff altogether. They seem to like to do that around the time of a new console's release.
So pleased to see key cards bombing, I'm waiting to get the Switch 2 version of Sonic Crossworlds because they aren't doing this
>>722070128Just get it on steam. It's massively overpriced and really only becomes good if you're able to mod it.
>>722069854>>722069939I love the vouchers like you wouldn't believe, which is why it was so upsetting to me that people seemed to be more upset about Gold Points going away?? It seemed like a "digital vs physical" thing, but even if you were buying every major release physically per year using Gold Points you'd still only save a couple of dollars max (60 cents per game) where you'd save tens buying those same games with vouchers instead. I only learned about them after they were already announced to be getting discontinued, and I used them to get Pokemon Violet, ToTK, Metroid Prime 4, and Legends Z-A. That's already the price of Prime Remastered that I've saved using just 2 vouchers. So sad to see them go, but I'm gonna try my best to stockpile before January rolls around.
>>722070404Kek I pity anyone that didn't realize you could get TOTK for $50 on release.
>>722070630I'm also freeloading someone else's Expansion Pack family plan so I get the Switch 2 upgrade for free lmao.
>>722070963Eyy nice. The expansion pack would be super worth it to me if they would just put 1 dlc pack on there a year. Weird how random they go with that.
>>722061650It's all the worst aspects of digital and all the worst aspects of physical. Nintendo literally just wanted to shit something out onto retail shelves for that incredibly valuable expsoure while wrestling away the last shred of control or anything that could be construed as ownership, cheaping out over the carts and boiling the frogs over an all digital future. The best of both worlds literally only for themselves, the worst of both worlds for the consumers. Their own games will become digital eventually and anyone who refuses to acknowledge that is blind.
>>722070630I pity anyone who didn't pirate that shit for free and quickly realize beyond all doubt it was a turd.
>>722061650>Physical only playersimagine being such a faggot lmao
