Played Alan wake 2 for the first time recently, each chapter ending with a theme song summary that also hints at future developments is insanely good. I love the gimmick of the stage I’m on where Alan can mix and match plot points to change the level itself plus all the detective wall poo poo you can do, just awesome. Probably the most intelligent and creative “auteur game” not made by a guy named Kojima I’ve played in a long long time, they def earned those narrative and writing awards.

For me videogames are pretty much disposable, I will very rarely (almost never) replay a game, especially not the current 60 hour long releases. So if Sony shows up and deletes all my old games....I would honestly not care. I know I'm part of the problem.

But you're right that a lot of games are basically unplayable without a critical download, so they are effectively digital already I do really like telling my PS5 to download a game for me when I'm out for work or whatever else.

The assertion that most physical games are just a product key is just factually incorrect as well despite Mr “Excited for Suicide Squad” Hootington’s assertion. There’s literally a website that tracks this: https://www.doesitplay.org  These are the stats for PS5 alone

There’s literally a website that tracks this: Don't people mean more that they don't play off the disc (i.e. once they are installed then the disc is just used as a check that it's still present)? That is true with a larger set of games I think? Like, and to be clear that's a nice feature - but I wish they played without the disc in. The ideal for me would be that you could install from the disc and then never have to put the disc in again unless you needed to reinstall it. Resi 4 Remake is on that list as OK but when I'm playing that I can hear that the disc isn't going round.

I think people’s assertion is that the disc is literally just a code used to tell a server to download the game files, which is incorrect. That website shows that an incredibly vast majority includes the game files to install. Games haven’t been played off of discs for actual decades and it would be a weird thing to complain about.

I’m pretty sure even going back to the PS4 that games never play right off the disc anymore, they’re basically just a way for the console to install the game without the internet, and it all goes onto the console’s hard drive. The disc itself only serves as a license check at that point, which is why what you want will literally never happen.

Didn't care for FF7Remake. Way too Marvel-esque and bloated. Enjoying Crisis Core so far though.

Pretty much. The disc is the transportation of the bytes from the store to your console, then the bytes are there. After that the disc only serves to prevent more than one concurrent play session per retail purchase The Xbox One would have had some kind of disc revocation system so you really could remove and forget about the disc after install (and MS would be confident you didn't just give it to your friend who would also do that), but that was walked back before it shipped

Midnight Pooptrain posted:I played it again last month. It is not. In the original game Avalanche are a bunch of goofy characters. Jessie hits on Cloud repeatedly (to the point it's a joke she messes up on her ID because she was too hyper-focused), Wedge is Lol Fat The Joke and Biggs... exists. They run their terrorist organization out of a secret underground bunker beneath a bar they get to via pinball machine and Barrett, the 'most serious' of the plot, is consistent and constantly shown to be a completely goofy loving marshmallow of a man.

Yeah I know it won't, but I guess for me at that stage it's store the license in my PS account or store it on a disc, and personally I think I just find the former more secure. But costlier I guess (I don't buy many games).

veni veni veni posted:How would you actually do that without making it so people couldn't just pass a disc around endlessly? IIRC the Xbox One plan involved a unique serial number on each disc* and a central licensing server that would associate a disc with a console. The first use of a disc would automatically be granted, every use after that would require the current console to explicitly revoke their license and deactivate their installed copy. Which was why they suggested that if you wanted to lend a game to a friend you both had to visit Gamestop to formalize the transfer, and why Sony made that viral video that killed the whole proposal *how this would be done as part of the mass manufacturing pipeline I don't think they ever explained

And earlier attempts at doing this proved that this is exactly what happened. (Thinking specifically about the DLC disc for Fallout 3, which just let you install them and pass it on to somebody else, which was done all the time.)
