Point being that the video game industry is centered around the multiplayer aspect of games. Sure, they have single player modes, but the focus is the multiplayer aspect. Nobody is making blockbuster single player games anymore. It just doesn't happen. The market demands multiplayer and that's what you get.
Halo 5 wouldn't be 90GB installed if that were true. It wouldn't have taken Rockstar a year and a half to make GTA 5 worth a shit online if that were true
Start a class action lawsuit.
What, exactly, do you think the 90gb consists of? Code for the single player mode? No, it's mainly textures for the game as a whole. You also have to realize that today's games are much more immersive and graphical than games of old. You simply can't fit everything you need to play these games on a single disc. If you could, you wouldn't want to anyway because the performance coming from optical disc compared to spindle hard drive is atrocious.
If we had it your way, Rockstar wouldn't have been able to fix the glitches and problems because you want "to be able to stick the disc in and play without downloads".It wouldn't have taken Rockstar a year and a half to make GTA 5 worth a shit online if that were true
Don't disagree that it's stupid to have both mediums. I personally think the discs need to be gone entirely. I'd rather see the video game industry pushing ISPs to expand their reach than packaging discs to ship out. I flat out refuse to buy any more games on disc. No way in hell am I going back to having to swap discs to play my games.
I had hoped that was going to be the case for all manner of non-downloadable software delivery.
Today's mantra is that if your MVP doesn't embarrass you, you launched too late.Will is one of those lazy software developers I mentioned, do not expect him to agree with you Brandon.
You can do that now. You don't have to buy physical copies anymore.
I don't think you're understanding what Joe and I are talking about. I'm quite well aware that you don't have to get physical media anymore. What we're talking about is that when you desire physical media to actually get it in a pluggable USB format rather than on an optical disc. You can't go to the store and buy COD-BO3 on a memory stick.
You're misinterpreting which portions I'm bitching about. As such, I can't tell if you disagree or I'm just not being clear.
I didn't know you were talking about that.
PS+ membership is required to pay online for the PS4. I still have a Ps3, but I've been a PS+ member the whole time. It's worth it for the amount of free games and dlc that they give to members, plus the heavy discounts you can get on a bunch of content.Thought I would play Online for the first time... Now I find out I have to pay to play online, just like Microsoft. It used to be free online play on the PS3.
Not the biggest deal but of course I take the 2 day trial (really, 2 days?) and the online play doesn't even work. Been sitting on a screen "checking files" for 10 minutes. Then it started downloading, and then it went back to the main screen.
These consoles are so disappointing.
How are these kids with ADHD/ADA dealing with this shit?
