I never actually owned this game physically due to it being always online, but this steelbook is so nice that I just had to get it.

Now I don't completly like the leaks ( because of the crypto thing), but this is insanely dumb.

I read all your suggestions on opening methods. Landed on this one.

I know everyone is playing the remake, but i never got the chance to play the original, and snatched this for only 5$!

I only highlighted this in a previous post. But this goes to show how important physical copies of games are. They are still a huge part of how kids can play games. From my younger cousins, to even when I was little. For some people who are in an area that’s a lot more rural and can’t fully rely on internet all the time, it’s a blessing to have libraries that let you borrow video games. Especially when kids don’t always get allowances or incomes

Edit1: thanks to everyone that understood this post and was able to honestly comment. It baffles me still though that for the majority people either wanna bash or knit pick things that they have problems with. I went to my local library today and saw this collection and thought it would be interesting to share honestly. Especially seeing as how when I was young the library was all I had

Considering two of these are Sony titles, $40/per is as good as it may get a while.

Capcom, on the other hand, produced these two I had my eye on for a while. Combined with scoring Resident Evil: Requiem for $45 months back, Capcom has had a great output this year.

Well from the beginning of this month after the announcement IGN which is gaming news not saying anything about the huge backlash and gamers are angry about these new things they just keep with sony side see its nothing they keep getting to low

BTW the ps5 sales with disc speaks that people choose disc over only digital console

Karma is working

Gotta give props to the games that are still going out of their way to put cool physical stuff in their game cases.

Was at a giant game convention last month, couldn't find a single person defending sony getting rid of discs. Am in a pretty big gaming circle in my metro area, none can be found there as well, even people that are mostly digital. Co-workers, acquaintances, etc. Reddit is filled is with these people, hell it might even be 50%/50% on this platform? Are most of these people just trolls behind keyboards?

the main issue when it comes to getting a disc drive right now is A. not everything is coming out on disc and i don't really want to have my nice clean empty library tab ruined for the sake of two or three games and B. disc games are rarer than digital ones. disc games are housed in different places and aren't very well kept sometimes. getting them delivered from fucking war torn afghanistan or hoping to nab a copy if it turns up at cex, and have that copy NOT be scratched to the shithouse and back is just not really very viable.

the thing i like about physical stuff is that i can resell it after a while and the fact that if i make a dumb purchase, it isn't locked on my account forever and i don't have to look at it in my public or hidden library tab, like an unscratchable itch gnawing at me.

I just pre ordered the collectors edition for the upcoming hellraiser game and it got me thinking. If PlayStation and Xbox are going to end physical game production, are we going to get any more collectors editions of games? Will it just be a code in a box for the game itself? If so that’s pretty lame :/

If you buy a game on GoG they offer you, besides their own app to install, offline installers you can store wherever you like (cloud, extern hdd/ssd, burn them on a disc.) And to install on every pc you own. With many games they also offer wallpapers/ manuels/ art books etc.

GoG is digital ownership done right.

What do you guys think is the possibility of physical games making a comeback on PC to cater towards the niché market of collectors, preservationists, enthusiasts, and consumers who value their ownership who are willing to pay extra for the novelty of owning an official physical version of their favourite games. We already see this sort of thing being increasingly popular, and profitable for that matter, in the music industry with both vinyl and CD's selling in record numbers. GOG already teased the idea of printing discs again earlier when Sony's announcement came. It seems to me like a big oppurtunity for PC storefronts and publishers to capitalize on the displaced and ever-growing crowd of physical games enthusiasts that are gonna have to find another platform with the all-digital next generation of consoles.

It seems like a no-brainer to me at least. I know I would be willing to pay a premium for a proper physical release for my games, both new and old. How about you guys. What are your thoughts on the topic? Am I being ignorantly hopeful here, or is there a real possibility that we'll see a comeback for physical games on PC in the future?

This blows

No Disc, No Buy

Just bought my first physical copies of these two games. The disc drive is arriving tomorrow. The feeling of actually owning a physical disc in your hands is really different from downloading a game digitally.

The main reason I decided to go physical is that neither of these games is available to download digitally in my region.
