360 multiple discs problem is only going to get worse

Multipe discs suck, and 360 is seeing more and more of them, not just in RPGs but even racing games and action games (Forza 3, Dead Space 2, Castlevania etc...)

Games are getting bigger, not smaller so I think its going to get worse

FF XIII-2 is a given

Forza 4 maybe? if its bigger than Forza3

Skyrim, Witcher 2, Mass Effect 3 and other RPGs are very likely

Since LA Noir had to be on 3, what about GTA5 or RDR2?

MGS Rising if it even has 1/3 of cinematic MGS4 had

so what else do you think?

Oh no, I have to get off my butt to swap a disk every 10 hours?! Oh the horror!

Somehow I think 360 owners will manage.

MS should just give devs what they want (i.e. more space) and adopt Blu-ray in their next console and bundle the console with a 500GB hard drive (for install options and games on demand). But trying to keep the DVD alive? Where's the dislike button?

i dont think it's a big deal. after all, those are for single player games.

I really think anyone in this thread that thinks multiple disks is a problem is very nitpicky.

If disc swapping was that serious of an issue, you wouldn't be a console gamer at all. The PC is the only system where the majority of games can be played without ever needing to even put in a disc to play it. Steam allows me to press one click and i instantly start playing the game.

If you can up with swapping the disc once to play the game, then a few more times with a multi-disc game is not a big deal.

Disks are going to be less of a issue, my bet is the games will install, on the HDs, its a option now for performance. I love the ps3 and all but the bluray disk drive in it is slowwwwww. thats the reason most games have to install. plus getting off your A$$ every now and then is a good thing, you should go outside sometimes too.

Haven't you heard? Multiple discs is a major bonus. Your friend can borrow the game before you even complete it! Everybody wins!musicalmac

Only a small win for your friend...

I dont see this as a problem, it means the games are getting better and should last longer. Numerous ways around the issue of multiple discs, just install to HD or part installs to HD/USB drive.

Yeah it probably will, I wonder how much Mass Effect 3 will be, or the Witcher 2.

What games does this tactic acctually work on? I know it doesn't on La Noire or ME2....

So what's the big deal? Oh noes every now and then I will have to get off my ass to change the disc!? :o

I honestly dont see how is it a problem. I have been playing multiple disc games since 90s

Yeah it probably will, I wonder how much Mass Effect 3 will be, or the Witcher 2.

The real question is why you think it's a problem in the first place.

You should tell that to the Cows here on SW who thinks that Blu-Ray is automatically more superior than DVD. Also, PC games also uses DVD's for storage still.

Yeah SW can be quite ridiculous.

Disc swapping? OH noes!!!! :o

it's a hassle, it's not convenient, it breaks immersion, doesn't have the neatness and simplicity of just one disk

also could hold back potential for a game because devs only have a set limit of space

there's a 1000+ thread about this, must be a problem to some people

I was going to buy LA Noir for 360 because it is cheaper where I live but decided to go with PS3 because of the 3 discs (don't care about exclusive content)

Let me tell you what all lems will tell my friend! " Who. The. Hell. Cares?" ... Desmonic

Cows apparently ...

And no one can help you. Really getting up and moving every few hours is not a bad thing. Besides the more disks the more content able to be put into a game so... I say go for it if it gives us better games.

I have to admit, that made me LMAO:lol:

and it also is a great idea with long games like FFXIII, congrats on finding a REAL reason to praise multidisc games:)

Disc swapping takes less time than a mandatory install.foxhound_fox

Mandatory installs comes BEFORE playing the game.

I'd rather put up with installs rather than switching discs in the middle of game playing, especially in 2011.

Some of you 360 owners vehemently defend Disc Switching only because:

1. it's the ONLY system you own
2. you're a Lem
3. you own other systems but you're still a Lem

Or because it just allows for more game? And is really isn't that big of a deal?

Some of you people only criticize disc swapping on the 360 because:

1. It's the ONLY system you dont own
2. You're a cow
3. You own other systems but you're still a cow

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Disk swapping is a pain in the ass when playing non-linear games, good thing those hardly exist these days :)

If you scratch or lose a single disc game you're in the same situation, try again.

Plus... I don't know about everyone else here... I don't treat my discs like crap. if they aren't being played they're in the case. Honestly, just don't wipe your butt with the disc and they should survive for a good long time. My copy of Super mario Sunshine (which I got in 2002) still works perfectly.
