AC_Dragonfire 02/25/21 9:58:41 AM #1:	Except that one E.T. game from the 80s. RIP. We gotta do something about these movie games. It's not hard to replace a battery in a Nintendo cartridge. I just use tape for the handheld carts... (so far on 2 of em)... but the SNES aka Super Famicon.... (JP name for SNES in EU/US/Brazil/Etc)... and after decades of gaming, I finally figured out what the Nintendo super-nerds were talking about). Calling a SNES a "Super Famicon" is weebo try-hard..... Video games and Anime aren't the only things that are Japanese!!! Try harder! Discs on the other hand.... more difficult to maintain longevity. Once it gets scratched up there's only so much resurfacing ya can do with those cleaning tools ya done bought at the store. PS5 being all progressive n shit with their NO-DISC CONSOLE... while the new xXboXx Series 1X 5000 is going hard on backwards comparability. The problem with xXboXx is when Playstation gets an exclusive from Japan. Then it is a hard sell. <cite>AC_Dragonfire posted [p:951055794] in Download-o...

BUMPED2002 02/25/21 9:25:20 PM #43:	Personally I have never cared for digital games because to me it doesn't feel like you own digital games whereas with the physical disc, you own it. With digital games you also need enough hdd space to store the games and that can take up a lot of space. Overall, I just prefer physical copies. Unless its a digital game thats on sale or that I cant get anywhere else, Ill usually opt for the disc version. --- SpankageBros <cite>BUMPED2002 posted [p:951083444] in Download-o...

Raddest_Chad 02/25/21 9:47:37 PM #45:	Some games require a content download, regardless of a disc, and won't even work. So in theory they're just a digital game you need to put a disc in to use. That's only going to get worse as companies push more towards all-digital. Modern Warfare and Control UE flatout will not work with just a disc. <cite>Raddest_Chad posted [p:951084212] in Download-o...

LinkPizza 02/25/21 10:06:07 PM #46:	I like physical copies. My brother and I both passed up on a digital only PS5 Because we wanted the disc one. My cousin also got a disc one... Digital IS convenient, but I still like physical more... Plus, I like borrowing back and forth with my brother.

Xfma100 02/26/21 12:33:16 AM #47:	Mead posted... I still get disc games when theres a good deal from a retailer but it is mostly digital for me. Its just much more convenient. Eh, I regret going mainly digital last gen for my PS4/Xbox One. This gen I'm going for physical when I can. PSN sales are still nothing compared to physical sales imo. And it's so much easier to share games with friends with physical. Veedrock- posted... I share with my brother and we do digital One big drawback to this is that only one account per system can play your owned games. For example, I shared digital with one of my friends, and now my SO, friends, etc. can't play my digital games unless they are logged into my account. Meanwhile you don't have to worry about that at all with physical. <cite>Xfma100 posted [p:951089570] in Download-o...

LinkPizza 02/26/21 3:24:26 AM #50:	Judgmenl posted... I'm not aware of any drawbacks of playing games on Steam. I can think of a few. You have to be online to download the game (though you can play offline). But I can buy physical and play without going online for most games (like Nintendo). Also, steam in the only thing that for some reason took away my ability to play one of my games. And cause me to have to change, uninstall, reinstall, and other stuff to play a game a couple times. I just wanted the dicks to not be censored like before, and it took some time... JoanOfArcade posted... Yeah that only happens if you account share I remember I had something weird happen once. I couldnt play my games because I was signed out of my account. And had to redo a bunch of stuff... It happened like 3 times within a couple of months... Krazy_Kirby posted... you need the same amount of hdd space with digital and physical Are you sure? I think on switch, the physical games seemed to take less space... Since they actually seem to have the game on the cartridges... JoanOfArcade posted...
