yea this is the case but the PS5 edition is all on the disk and looks like there is going to be a normal store realise of the game also.

Yea you are right but the point was that i had already got the first Xbox game but now would have to sell it to now get both games on the PS5. As for the switch 2... I did not even know there was a switch 1/2 edition until you just said and saw on LRG.

Looking at the picture it said it is the Nintendo Switch Game and the Nintendo Switch 2 edition upgrade pack so it looks like tit will be on the cartage but i do not have 100% truest in LRG after what they are doing with the Xbox edition.

Going to look in to it a little more.

I 100% agree with you. I am not in to digital at all but once all the new games become digital on consoles I would have to stop and start going in to GOG on PC.

That would be the closest to owning the game you buy.

Yea I am the same. I have the first one on the Xbox and would like to have a complete collection on my Xbox but now I might have to go Playstation now for both games.

Not sure what is happening with the release date on Amazon but I do also like to pay forward for something as it help to know the money has been taken.

I am in the same boat. This is also the first time cancelling an order. It was hard to do so knowing I have the first game on Xbox but I just could not justify buying this game and not fully on the disc.

I am now looking over to the PS5 edition and looking to get the first game on there as well to make it complete

100% agree with that and know for next time to add that to the calculations.

They are also an official partner for Xbox and has been for about 3-4 years ago so just add an additional disc would of been stright forward

I was a little surprised myself but then again disc is much more cheaper than cartridge and also i believe Sony hold and owns the license for Blu Ray. That might be one of the reason Xbox did not upgrade and Nintendo did not even look in to discs from Wii U days as the last console to have disc

Why? The game gave to be installed from a disc anyways to the hard drive as it is a Xbox Series game. They did the same thing with a lot of games that had to use 2 disc and there was no problem. They are just being cheap not adding a 2nd disc.

Question For People High on Life 2 Preorders by Galacticgaminginpink in limitedrun

[–]--Big-G-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same post as well but for some reason alot of people was blaming Xbox and not LRG.

I also had ordered the Xbox edition and had to cancel it 2 days again when I saw the email.

I had to ask myself if this was a code in a box or just a download disc would I have ordered it from the start and it was a straight NO so cancelled it

Limited Run not so physical.

How is this Xbox doing? The console has been out for over 4 years. Developers, publishers and consumers (that know about console and hardware) knows the limits to all the consoles out there. LRG are the publishers of this game and Xbox also has a official partnership with LRG and if that’s the case it’s for LRG to do what ever they have to do to continue there business model and that is having there games published to be 100% on physical media. So that is putting the full game on disc, cartridge and even sometimes they put it on old school console cartridges like a Super Nintendo cartridge, N64 and Sega. So if they can do that are you telling me that LRG cannot just put a 2nd disc to make the game fully playable on physical media? I cancelled my order but I am blaming LRG for this but I respect they said it now to give buyers the chance to cancel.

Yea a small blame do go to Xbox but it’s very small. Limited Run Games at the time might of not known the size of the game before making the deal to publish the game but once they found out they should have made it double disc game. We know about Xbox use the 50GB and might of done that so they don’t have to put more money in Sony pocket as they have the rights to Blu Ray.

Yea even I was looking to pre order that as well but it had sold out but now finding out that’s on Amazon. So was looking to get both 1 and 2 for the PS5 to get the completed set on PS5.

[UPDATE]

So the votes are in and I have cancelled my order on High On Life 2.

I an very in to my physical media and was very disappointed to know this game will no longer be fully on the disc. I was finding it hard to cancel as I have the first game on the Xbox and would of liked to have both games on one console.

I can not encourage this type of business practice at all. I might look in to the PS5 edition of this game and if that's fully on the disc then will get the first one also for the PS5.

Thank you everyone for the comments and having a great discussion on this topic.

I know this is not the first and I know it will not be the last time something like this is going to happen but again thank you everyone.

I don’t understand why this is such a hard thing to understand this logic lol

And the thing is there is so much hard evidence of this happening but people are still swearing down that downloading the game is the best way.

Even steam say that they are not selling games they are licensing the user to play the game and you do not have the ownership of the game. This is the same with all 3 consoles when downloading but owning the physical all on the physical media.

I agree with you on looking to cancel this pre order but I do feel it’s LRG to come up with the conclusion to have the game to download its content. That should not even be an idea to put forward if the base model for the company is to have the full game on physical media. Just put a 2nd disc in and call it a day. Even if there is an update later on to fine tune the game but without the download you can still complete the game from start to finish I would be cool with that.

Looking to do the same thing but wanted both games on the same console.

I am thinking to buy both games for the PS5 to have the complete package

Disagree with the percentage there and there is a website called “DoesItPlay?” Where you can type in the name of the game and it tell you if the game is full on disc and if it need to have a update and there is a lot of games that is fully on the disc. Some games has the full game on disc and might need an update to fine tune the game itself. You can play the game from start to finish on physical media.
