>>742293849I'm sorry you feel that way.
what is the recourse for twitter threads like this? reporting clearly doesn't do anything. should I just go to a different chan for vidya?

I want a disk, but I want it to have zero DRM, so I can make infinite backups and mod and romhack it. Can you promise me that? Or will it just be DRM laden plastic that will inevitably stop working with newer systems?

Man I love Falling Down but it’s recent meme resurgence is giving some real “fans ruining the band” vibes.
>>742303547then physical disks are useless.
>>742303706I disagree.

>Do you have any idea how much DLC I've bought for your game?>How much?>I don't know. But, it's gotta be a lot. You can bet on that.
>>742290457You know you still don't own it with a disc, right?
>>742304343B-but i need to flip it at gamestop for 10 dollars after I'm done with it!Yes, I could've just pirated it and saved myself the trouble, BUT SHUT UP
>>742290457You gonna love this one. Some autist walked into Gamestop, pulled out a katana 'cause they stop selling discs. Then he paid for GTA and left.
>>742304343GTA? Yeah this specific game is kinda worthless in physical. The best are AA titles and indies.

I'm a thrower? How'd that happen? I did everything they told me to.
>>742295778Same reason why a bunch of internet virgins shouldn't have to mod Starfield to make it an actual functioning game, you absolute retarded faggotThe customers shouldn't do the leg work of the lazy kike studios
>>742290457Why ask for a disk if 100% of games are undercook and you have to download 2x or 4x its size in patches to make them work properly? Are goys thinking?
>>742307754It's pretty simple. You lied and 100% of games aren't undercooked. The ones that aren't should be offered physically so their customers can own what they purchase. It's so simple even a tranime like you could understand.
>>742307903So most AAA games should not be offered physically?
>>742307903Bruh, even Nintendo games need day 1 patches, and they have content that isn't even included in the cart, like amiibo exclusive content.
>>742290457THIS IS JUST LIKE THE MEME I SAW ON REDDIT AND X.COM XDLE EBIC SAUZE AND AN UPDOOT TO YOU Xp
>>742307903They lie to everyone.

>>742290457I am not a thrower. I'm just trying to get to gold rank for the new skin. And if everybody will stay out of my way, then nobody will get mad.
>>742291123I'm happy with these threads until Rockstar fix their colossal fuck up. The actual shilling and advertising for this game gets on this board has been pretty obnoxious so it deserves to be counter balanced by this.
>>742290457I want a huge manual to read through.

>>742309808I don't buy third person shooters, it's the worst genre in video games.
>>742290457They're obsolete, they're not economically viable.
>>742309592Why are you so opposed to customers being to buy the product in the way that they want to do buy it? Rockstar weren't previously like this. They just said no discs out of nowhere for no discernible reason whatsoever.
>>742290457You wanna see sick? Take a look at these prices. That's sick.
>>742311690>no discernible reason whatsoever.probably because they're expecting the game to be buggy af on release
>>742312070RDR2 had some bugs but you can play that game from start to finish without their first patch to my understanding. So unless so much changed since then that caused their games to have some massive bugs then I'm not really buying the reason is day one patches. Although i cannot predict a Cyberpunk 2077 sort of scenario either.
>>742312070No, it's beause they want to save money so they can up their profits
too true too trueat least digital games keeps me from having to go outside and deal with humans
All you people do when you come to this website is bitch.
>>742312412may go well beyond day-one patchesI don't really give a shit about it. I'm not gonna buy it. But it is objectively an ambitiously large undertaking with contributions from many studios all over the world. It seems likely to me that there are going to be all kinds of bugs, many of which they won't even be aware of until they get a bunch of people playing>>742312453it all comes down to money, of course. That's also why they would go ahead and ship when they know it's buggy, because they can't just delay forever while continuing to pour money into it. They're already paying to distribute the empty boxes. The disc itself doesn't cost much except for the licensing fees, but with such an important release for Sony, I'm sure they could have worked something out
>>742290457Just pretend your wifi-antenna is a disk drive, retardYou're either downloading it from the disk drive or downloading it from the server. It makes no fucking difference

>>742312607Sounds like you're in good company.
>>742313716>You're either downloading it from the disk driveThat's not true. The latest re-release of GTA V for the PS5 is on the disc. Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PS4 was on the disc and the re release of Red Dead Redemption 1 for the PS5 was entirely on the disc. You do not need to have an internet connection to the PS5 whilst inserting these discs and installing them. Let alone playing them.Does It Play a website in tracking these things have wrote down these results in their database.The only things i could definitively prove by video evidence however is that the GTA V release for PS4 was offline installable and the RDR1 release for PS5 is offline installable since people have recorded youtube results for that.

>>742305179Heh. Underrated
>>742290457Do you know the sad thing, the ones talking shit about owning a disc arent trolling.
>>742315629Another nigger who can't handle truths
>>742314791>that has the exact same DRM on itDRM would imply that it requires phoning home at all, which was not the case for any of their past physical disc releases shown in that picture since not one of them require an internet connection at all unless using online features like GTAO/RDRO.The only things Rockstar could do to theoretically fuck with your game like removing out of date licensed music tracks is by actually installing one of their patches. The solution is still installing it offline and never getting a patch and they can tamper with the game that they originally sold to you. Even the definitive edition trilogy disaster doesn't require it. So even if we class the new digital age as having some form of DRM via patches the solution is still offline and never connecting online. It's not even really DRM at all. Otherwise i have no idea what point you're trying to make if these things are fully functional without internet connections.
>>742315780>can tamper with the game that they originally sold to youcan't*typo
>>742315780>DRM would imply that it requires phoning homeIt also implies planned obsolescence. Unless the disk is guaranteed to work with all future hardware, forever, then it's just a ticking time bomb until your disk becomes worthless plastic. Console games are basically built off of this premise.Tell me, why doesn't your Ps1 disk work with the Ps4 or Ps5? Why doesn't your Ps2 disk work with later models of the PS3? Why doesn't the Ps3 work with the Ps4 or Ps5? every one shares the exact same disk, but for some reason console companies decided that your games should stop working.>w-well just keep your old hardwareWhy? Why can't you keep making hardware compatible with old hardware? Digital games don't have this issue.
I don't know who, having lived through the disc-based era, genuinely wants discs. If you're a preservationist then you surely know about disc rot and, even if rare, you'd want them backed up digitally. If you don't like DRM then surely you know about the horrendous disc-based DRM games had in the past that would brick PCs and phone home anyway. Want to sell your games? Again, that can be restricted by disc-based DRM.>>742315780You're mistaking the cause (Rockstar wanting more control) with the effects (no disc-based games). Historically Rockstar hasn't put DRM onto their disc-based games, but there is absolutely zero reason they can't.
>>742316038I'm in agreement with you that back compat should be a thing for consoles which is what Sonys fanboys refused to acknowledge when Phil Spencer actually pushed for something good at that company. But this is different topic from DRM.> Digital games don't have this issue.PC games don't have that issue because we have people dedicated to making them work. Consoles are a closed ecosystem.
>>742316269Carts is where it's at
>>742290457We no longer have the technology for discs. Like how we no longer have the technology to go to the moon or cremate millions of bodies.
>>742316269Why would they need more control over what they still must sell through Sony and Microsofts store fronts respectively? they have the social club but that has co-existed with their physicals. If we're talking about PC that's where they became actual control freaks in regards to modding but it doesn't seem all that related to whether physical copies of console games could be produced. Unless you're implying that there's something that we do not know about and their games are going to become always online. However I've seen no evidence to suggest this model is being used.
No real un-negrified white man gives a fuck about GTA6

>>742291320>buy a CD>there's no disc in the case, just a code to add the songs to your itunes libraryLike what is the point of getting a case and printing the artwork when for an extra 75 cents, you could print a disc? It's illogical.
>>742314392Yes, you are downloading it from the disc. You are moving the game files off of the optical disk onto your computer drive. That is functionally no different from moving them from the server to your computer drive.>You do not need to have an internet connectionYou need to have a connection to the power grid, retard. You can never have your "off the grid" vidya gaming experience that you fetishize for no god damn reason
>>742318650It's read only and it lasts a lot longer than a hard drive. As long as you have the disc, you have the media.
>>742290457No problem sir, here's the disc version. It contains the first 40GB.
>>742319573lil nigga brewin up a big beef
>>742318650>That is functionally no different from moving them from the server to your computer drive.It's the equivalent to how original consoles functioned. Or at least by 7th gen we had to load the games onto a hardrive and not much has changed since then other than the storage methods and architecture. When it says "downloading" it means it's extracting the data off the disc and you acknowledged that yourself so I'm not saying that this specific part about your comment was wrong.I never took issue with your statement about downloading from the disc but don't pretend it's the same as from server because this is a very big distinction and the lines cannot be blurred on this. It's the distinction that still defines physical for what it is.
>>742318650>>742320396Also another important point for why it's not just the simple process of the same data retrieval from a server that you see on digital forms of games is that the physical copies of these games sometimes (or always) won't even launch without the disc in your drive. So it actually functions like old consoles did.
Not only that because Sony's own consoles treat the digital and physical versions of their games separately on their home page/menus if I'm recalling correctly. So by a digital interpretation of the physical and digital versions of games are almost treated as if they're completely separate entities. Which ties back into that point of why physical discs sometimes must be in the drive to even launch it.
