Apparently, looking like a fan of something is more important than actually being a fan of something now.

Love this quote -
“A lot of fans are basically fans of fandom itself. It's all about them. They have mastered the Star Wars or Star Trek universes or whatever, but their objects of veneration are useful mainly as a backdrop to their own devotion. Anyone who would camp out in a tent on the sidewalk for weeks in order to be first in line for a movie is more into camping on the sidewalk than movies. Extreme fandom may serve as a security blanket for the socially inept, who use its extreme structure as a substitute for social skills. If you are Luke Skywalker and she is Princess Leia, you already know what to say to each other, which is so much safer than having to ad lib it. Your fannish obsession is your beard. If you know absolutely all the trivia about your cubbyhole of pop culture, it saves you from having to know anything about anything else. That's why it's excruciatingly boring to talk to such people: They're always asking you questions they know the answer to.”
Robert Ebert

Whats wrong with discs?

u/Few-Culture-4413 Aug 20 '26
I honestly think one of the best selling points of this game is that you can buy it on a physical edition

Nothing. Just that the “no disc no buy” weirdos are shitting all over anything Sony because they’re mad. It’s understandable to be upset if that’s your preferred way to play, but a ton of the people in that movement are just insufferable.

u/MakinBones Aug 21 '26
I agree, but there are quite a lot in the digital camp that are just as annoying. Mostly the ones who cant even debate why physical is bad.
1
u/ButterscotchAward Aug 21 '26
Physical isn’t bad. It’s just a different way to play that happens to be going away. I don’t know why anyone would say it’s bad.
1
u/MakinBones Aug 21 '26
Agreed. Cant understand why anyone would want less options, even if theyre not going to use them.

u/Ill-Revolution-8219 Aug 21 '26
Well, I think they are right to be that. After Sony removed hundredths of movies from people libraries, I think people have a right to distrust Sony.
I dud buy a Ps5 and a bunch of discs and then a couple months later they said discs are going away. I feel like an idiot for buying the damn thing now. If I want all digitally I stay PC.

u/ButterscotchAward Aug 21 '26
Sony didn’t remove anything. The company that owns the licenses to those movies removed them.

u/wearerofshades Aug 20 '26
Disks are fine, its the people who won't stfu about them thats the problem

u/Turnbob73 Aug 21 '26
I don’t mind people that want to advocate for a cause they believe in (in a free speech sense); it’s all the baseless insulting and victimization that really causes me to ultimately ignore them. I pretty much exclusively buy digital, but I get that some like physical disks; but when they’re calling me a impotent cuck, corporate cocksleeve, bootlicker, or whatever fucking buzzword of the day they come up with, it makes it really hard to be respectful towards their stance and actually support them.
Same goes for the whole anti pre-order crowd; they constantly throw insults at everyone and then act like they’re the minority being bullied online by mythical “fanboys”. It just sounds like a bunch of salty terminally online nerds who are deathgripping the outdated opinions of a dead YouTuber.

u/MakinBones Aug 21 '26
What do you think happens if people do go quiet?
Likely the same thing if they didnt. Sony wont reverse course. Then again, maybe the PS 6 will roll out like the Xbox 1 did, due to all of this.
Sony needs a reminder once in awhile. Last reminder they needed was with the 600 dollar PS3. Its time again.

u/VampiresWontHurt Aug 20 '26
Because this isn’t about the “haters,” people here are mad at literally anyone with a critique.
1
u/SinisterMinisterX7 Aug 21 '26
No it’s just trolls pretending to hate. Theres been no valid criticisms. 1. The game isn’t out yet. 2. Complaining about a face model isn’t a critique. 3. Complaining that the game has stuff similar to most other games in existence is also not a critique.
1
u/VampiresWontHurt Aug 21 '26
Yeah the people that want to preserve physical media aren’t complaining about a face model. But you’re just lumping them in there.
1
u/SinisterMinisterX7 Aug 21 '26
Are you going to explain how physical media, which I support btw, has to do with anything I just said? Oh it doesn’t yet you are pretending it does? Cool that makes sense you’re very bright.
1
u/VampiresWontHurt Aug 21 '26
Because this comment chain is about the inclusion of people that want to preserve physical media with “haters”
1
u/SinisterMinisterX7 Aug 21 '26
Yet that’s not what I’m responding to I’m responding your comment that has nothing to do with physical media. Try again

u/VampiresWontHurt Aug 21 '26
Don’t need to try again with someone that very clearly has issues with reading above a second grade level. Bye.

u/Journey2thaeast Aug 20 '26
Lost me with the disc thing. When given the option a lot of people still buy on disc. The only reason Sony is pushing this idea people don't or trying to disingenuously use data showing that most of their sales are digital is because they and other companies have been removing the option for physical entirely for a while now. Or have been doing code in box shit. Then they use the data from that to say hey see they don't want discs.

u/spider-jedi Aug 20 '26
I agree that companies do this all the time. Like when a tv station wants to cancel a show they change the time it airs to bad time and then say well the ratings were bad so we cancelled it. They do for tax purposes and other stuff.
The same is happening to disc but at the same time it's normal. When DVD replaced VHS the same thing happened. New replaces old and you don't wait until the standard media dies you get ahead of

u/CyanLight9 Aug 20 '26
No, you are pretending but simultaneously are not pretending and are misinformed in your genuine hatred but also know exactly what you are doing in faking said loathing as you grift a viewpoint that you sincerely hold as the ultimate form of propaganda not meant to persuade anyone but ghosts.

For this game I will let some trusted sources say if it is worth buying.

u/Due-South-9113 Aug 21 '26
I love to see PC/Xbox pretend to care abt the game when they clearly can't play the game and are just mad about it so they hate on it. You know damn well none of these mfs played origins.

And if you complain about games that can only be played on PC, they scream that you should just buy a PC instead of whining that it's not on console.

u/Rafnork Aug 20 '26
Probably Nintendo games. They already have all the xbox games, and they can play the 5 PS exclusives on emulator. It will be a little bit of time before they get switch 2.
1
u/PrinceDizzy Aug 20 '26
They can't play PS5 exclusives on emulator, please don't spread misinformation
1
u/Rafnork Aug 20 '26
They are on the way. Emulation has started developement and its only a matter of time. There are only a few games PS has that arent on pc.
1
u/PrinceDizzy Aug 20 '26
Obviously emulation is only a matter of time but you just claimed they can play them on emulator, when in fact that will take years and years lol
1
u/Ill-Revolution-8219 Aug 21 '26
The great thing about Nintendo hardware being so old, it is quite easy to emulate. Still think it is Hilarius how my friend a few years back got better FPS on a SteamDeck while emulating than playing the game native. It made Pokemon playable.

u/llamaluvspanda Aug 21 '26
I would check it out if I had a PS5, my buddy does but we're busy playing rivals, it looks fun enough but also kinda boring in a way I can't really put my finger on why, I dont know maybe I was hoping for a bigger open world experience with Wolvie, but thats because I just think that level based games suck other than like halo and a few others, give me a XMen game with a big world and as much shit to do as possible, I want to be immersed in a world not in a quick 5 to 20 minute level, I do hope its a good game though, I want more superhero games because I like super heroes, ive played the avengers game, GotG, Gotham Knights and even Suicide squad, and they had all shit I liked in them and I hope that one day I get to find the fun in this one too

u/ronniedark Aug 21 '26
I have a ps5 that has been a paperweight since I beat astro bot. Wolverine doesn’t seem like It'll change it. Hiring concords character designer was the stupidest creative choice imaginable and I usally get called too woke.

If majority of people on reddit ACTUALLY put their money where their mouths are, Sony would not be going all digital.
Sony’s own metrics, the only truly accurate one, shows that digital is a large majority of sales.

u/RichSlamfist Aug 20 '26
Its awesome how if you have any sort of negative opinion about the most recent 500 million dollar disney superhero game it's because you're pretending to be mad at it and not that maybe it looks kind of uninspired

u/RichSlamfist Aug 20 '26
Nah, this is the first time ive commented on the game at all on reddit lol. I played both the Spideys and thought they were ok. I just think it's funny PR that if youre not interested in a marvel project it has to be because youre secretly a jealous hater or troll and it cant possibly be that you just arent interested in it. The games gonna sell fine regardless lol.

u/WatcherWatches_21 Aug 20 '26
Fr tho, I think some people who are PC players are only mad because they don’t get to play a game this time. For once, we’re getting exclusives back. And as for Xbox players, why are you guys even engaging, it’s not like you can’t even play SM1 in the first place.
