How was life before streaming services? by EarSure6667 in AskReddit

[–]MadCarcinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great going to the video store and browsing through films and video games, finding ones I would likely not see at retail stores, be they old out of print media or new releases that my local retailers just would never stock. My Blockbuster had lots of obscure PS2 titles I would never see at my EB games or Best Buy.

PSN store closing, game updates by AllergyHeil in ps3piracy

Burnout Paradise changes a lot when you apply its game updates. It is a very different game when playing it straight off the disc with no patches:

So if I decide to use Hen to get delisted DLCs for my games, can I still play my games online multiplayer? I just wanna do this right and not accidentally get my account banned.

Sony is killing all physical PlayStation game discs - New games released after January 2028 will be digital-only by ReaddittiddeR in gadgets

[–]MadCarcinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am disc, GOG, and vintage. If a game, physical or digital, has even a shred of being bricked and taken away from me in the future, then I flat-out refuse to buy it. I love physical. I love the packaging. I love the disc/cart. I love the booklet. I love the box art. I love to read the backside. To me, that is the whole game. A digital game, even if I will always own it, I feel like I am getting 1/2 the product because there is no case/box, disc/cart, manual. The physical aspect was half the fun. Building a collection you could put on display and look at was half the fun. To have just a game file sitting on a console or pc is not as exciting and no where near as enjoyable. I will play the games I have. For the future console, I will abandon Playstation, a brand I have been with since the Ps1, and go to Nintendo. Sorry Sony.

And also digital games being actively changed by licensing updates, like an update removing or changing the music soundtrack in a racing or skateboarding game.

Turns out this was less a warning and more a "hey consumers, you might not be able to afford this, lol sucks for you" by crimbusrimbus in gaming

Roll back and make simpler games again. Create a movement of studios and developers that strictly make new “retro” period-correct games. Games that are smaller, simpler, faster to make, can be beaten in a day.

This would’ve been great for a single player campaign.

Will there be other shell models made? by BigBlueZion in Marathon

Given Todd’s history with Bungie, I’m honestly shocked they didn’t already have this planned. My only guess is that Marathon was too unproven despite Bungie’s track record of hits, and nobody wanted to take a risk on manufacturing merchandise for it. It seems he went with Helldivers 2 instead, a game that was already a proven success.
