You walked into the store, you bought a copy with a disk. It required no internet connection. You put it into your player station 3 or xbox 360 and it just worked. No patch required. No live service. You could live without internet and play the game on day 1. That's what freedom is all about.
>>746078392Yes and we used to travel by horse before we got carsNobody in the 1st world even has a disc drive in their PC anymore you STUPID FUCKING RETARD
>>746078437I have a disc drive you insolent bastard
Nahhhhh. You borrowed it, put it in your xbox revolution and it rrrr'd and said install me nigger, so you did that and it got stuck half way. On the second disc.
>>746078392Actually I didn't do any of those things. I waited a few years for it to come out on PC, thought about buying it but just ended up pirating it instead. I got about halfway through the game and just put it down and never finished it. Uninstalled it shortly after once I got bored after a couple weeks of gta online.
>>746078506>Good morning saaaar!!! My 10+ year old PC with 8gb ram still has disc because download speed very slow, note it
>>746078392>It required no internet connection.retard
>>746078517Nope, I had the PS3 version and it was on one disc, I played it for like a week straight
>>746078392I did none of that, stop making shit up.
>>746078612It didn't, most games in those days you could play the game without connecting to the internet. GTA online wasn't even out yet anyway.
>>746078562>8gb ramyou're too generous
Uh breh, we used to go outside and beat eachother with sticks too.
>I played it a bit on my friends PS3Go boredPirated it 2 years later, got bored and forced myself to finish it.Modern Rockstar fucking sucks and so do modern consoles.Plug&Play is what madd them good, not being wannabe PCs.
>>746078392No I didnt. Shit was $120 and Console Only for like 3 years before it came to PC, by which stage the game itself was abandoned in favour for a worse version of SA:MP. GTA5 is the Mass Effect 3 of GTA games. Normies fucking love it but its the worst in the series (so far)
>>746078437I have close to 40 PCs and have disc drives for almost every single 1
>>746079950>saaar saaaaar here in bangladesh we all have disc drives in our pc with 4gb of ram because internet connection too slow and unstable saaaaaar
>>746080280Why do you act like this? Why do you hate CDs so much?
>>746080841>HateI dont hate it. It's just fucking cringe to hear hipsters talk about some old tech like it's so much better when the truth is nobody even fucking uses disc anymore
>>746081010>nobody even fucking uses disc anymoreI do and I have a lot of modern systems. I've made the effort of putting sata and usb drives in most of them. I have 1000s of blank cd-rs and dvd-rs I've acquired over the years and like to back up almost everything to them. But I guess zoomies in their tween years wouldn't understand.
>>746078392Except all the bugs that stayed in games and sometimes gamebreaking garbage that was only fixed in one later released region but not the earlier ones.
I remember taking back like 5 games that I purchased that I actually enjoyed and didn't want to take back because they had game breaking bugs that meant you got permanently stuck.There's pros and cons to everything.
>>746078437I still have a disc drive. Actually now that I think about it all of my PCs have had a disc drive.
>>746078392When GTA V released I waited a year or so for a PC release that Rockstar arbirtarily decided to withhold and eventually I lost the hype and never played it, because Rockstar were always a shitty company.
>>746081010I'm not a hipster. I don't collect physical copies of things. But today we are cucked by online servers for everything.
>>746078392First time I played GTA V was 2015 on PC. I never owned it physically. This post is a bit histrionic though is it not
>>746078392>No patch required.revisionist history
>>746078437based
>>746078392careful anon, people nowadays have no idea what freedom is.
>>746078437you need a disc drive to make your own high quality MP3s of obscure shit
>>746079950I have more than 40 disc drives and not a single one has a pc HAHA WHAT NOW MOTHERFUCKER?!
>>746078392Being forced to by a specific disk for a specific brand of machine is not freedom. Piracy and emulation are the only true freedom in gaming.
>>746078392Lol no I got it day -5 because of internet connection
>>746078437You don't need a disc to have a semblance of ownership of your games on PC, jew.
no, i bought it online at 20% off a couple months after release
