Multidisc do we want them?(Poll)

The Question is what would you rather have 1 or 2 disc.

If gears of war had the same exact game but one had 2 dvd's and the other had 1 DVD wich would you buy(Example) 

This will end the debate if Multidisc is perfered. I don't see anyone minus Fanboys saying they rather have a Multidisc game than the same exact game on 1 disc.

So vote if you can get the same exact game on 1 disc compared to 2 wich would you buy. 

Don't care about the whole 'it's on two discs, woe is I' crap. I'm not so lazy that I'll complain about having to get off my worthless ass and walk a few feet to switch a disc after 12 hours of gameplay.

Anyways, this is a stupid situation. Why in the hell would a company release a two disc version of a game when they can fit it on one? It makes no sense.

If that were the case, why would ANYBODY buy the 2 disc version?grassdream

agreed 

Now, let's put in the part of the equation you removed to serve your purposes:

If, in order to choose the 1 DVD version, you had to pay a $200 USD fee when you first choose (not everytime you choose, just the first time), which would you prefer?

It has never bothered me in the past. Examples I can think of are the PS1 FFs, Killer 7, and RE4.

I didnt really mind switching tapes for long movies back in the VHS days.

People argue against it because the console that has Blu-Ray costs $200 more than the 360.

You have completely skewed the situation. There are NO games released that use more discs than they have to, minus the CE variants with bonus content. That would be as useful as Theodore Roosevelt's legs. If a PS3 version of a game is on one disc and a 360 version has two, then you have something. But still, the majority of people would have no trouble walking a few steps and exchanging a disc after multiple hours of playing.

but the question was if it was on the same system. So i'm asking is MS makes a HDDVD drive later and had made some copies with HD DVD and some using 2 DVD9(wich can be a possibility for them in 2 years)

So you don't have a point whatsoever? what an useless thread...

Oh, wait, you're lying, just because you don't have an answer:

thats the point so why is the argument of DVD9 and Blueray such a big deal when obviously if the game can fit on 1 compared to 2 and it's the same game you rather have 1 disc. how can anyone argue against that i have no idea
peacebringer

So it IS about PS3 vs X360!

My comment is fully appropiate. My question is the relevant one in the discussion. Your "same system" nonsense is just that. Nonsense. 

And even if, by chance, you were right in asking for same-system comparisons, we're back in square one. To get an HD-DVD game, you'd need to purchase the $200 upgrade... which is still the $200 I initially spoke of. 

Your wording, while apparently innocuous, was fully loaded in order to skew answers to the favor of your console, in a rather weak attempt at ownage.

Well, duh. That should be absolute common sense right there. The whole predicament is not whether people like multi-discs over a single disc, it's about whether they MIND the former over the later if there is no other alternative short to purchasing a PS3 in order to play the single disc version.

i used that as an example but i'm not trying to say Blueray or PS3 is betetr i'm just asking wich would you perfer 1 or 2 disc to show how people are being ignorant about the situation. i can care less who wins ps3 or Xbox but i do know from experiance i rather have 1 disc than 2 and i don't see how there so many post about how it's ok to have multidisc games but in reality people rather have 1.
peacebringer

But you specifically stated otherwise.

Alright, whatever, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, even when I clearly shouldn't.

Congratulations, you just made the most useless thread of the day. 

And on a even more informative note, water is wet.

i can point to the PC which has CD and DVD version of many of it's games. So it's not just based on PS3. Company of Heroes i have it for 6 CD's cause i couldn't find a DVD version and i wish i would have had the single DVD version than the 6 cd's i have now. My point is why are people arguing like 3 to 4 disc is a good thing when it's not it's not even debatable as you said if you had a choice everyone would choose 1 wich means it's better.

Nobody is arguing in favor of multi-disk games. The argument is that many people would prefer a multi-disk game over having to purchase a more expensive console, being forced into a media format they don't care about, or having to purchase an accessory.

Because some people, believe it or not, would much rather play a multi-disc version of a game on the console they already own as opposed to coughing up $600 in order to play a single-disc variant of the exact same game.  

So what your saying is, "hypothetically" if say FFXIII came out on both PS3 and 360 at the same time, that a 360 owner should buy a PS3 just to play the single disc version, because naturally anyone would prefer less discs and therefore buying a brand new console for one game is entirely justified :roll:

What you dont seem to get is people dont care how many discs, sure its convenient to have a game your playing on one disc, but honestly if you were really looking forward to a game, would the fact that its on multiple discs really be the deciding factor on whether you purchase the game or not?

Do you call yourself a gamer?

How about a don't care option.waynehead895

i dont think that will happen my friend:roll:

That question isn't fair.  If it's identicle, whats the point in having two discs?

I don't mind it if the game requires it. 

Why in the world are people choosing 1 disc???  There is no advantage whatsoever.  It's just fanboys (probably Lemmings in this case).

I see alot of people saying this question isn't fair. why? this isn't a argument to support nither system, seems alot of lemmings don't wanna say they prefer 1 disc over 2 disc if it was the same game on the same console. Nice dodging guys i hope the few lemmings who saw this won't try to argue this again after seeing that they truly inside rather have a 1 disc game if they had the choice on there console.
peacebringer

Are you for real, no-one would prefer 2 discs over 1 (exept fanboys being fanboys), but what you dont get is most gamers dont care either way, they'd still get a game they want if it was on 1 disc or 20 discs.

Preference doesnt even come into it, because besides PC gaming, there has and will never be an option to have a multi or single disc version of the same game on the same console :roll:

P.S: Of course the question isnt unfair, but it is retarded.

If it doesnt effect the persons purchase then how else would it matter?, would they cry themselves to sleep every night wishing the game they love was on one disc ? :roll:

Of course people would prefer 1 disc over 2, but once again, if they want the game and enjoy the game does anyone really care about how many discs its on ? NO (exept fanboys).

The ammount of discs a game was on never made a bad game good or vice versa and it never will do, so once again thats why no-one cares, do you not get that ?, or are you trying to fight some ridiculous BluRay vs. DVD9 battle , and if you are then :roll:

If I were such a fat lazy ass that I could not get up and walk 5 feet to change a disc after 10-20 hours of gameplay, then I would have much much greater problems than having a two-disc game.

By the way, for a thread like this you really need to put an 'I Dont Care' option.

One more thing to consider is that every time you play a different game, you are changing discs. Kind of blows your whole lame attempt at ownage doesnt it?

The Question is what would you rather have 1 or 2 disc.

???  I would buy you a "restore logic" potion to you, ytou should drink it IMMEDIATELY !!!!

If it is the same game and fit ONE disk, there would be no 2 disk version OBVIOUSLY !!!!!

To make it simple for you, if there is ONE problem that i care less in my whole life, is the disk changing in games twice in my whole life for each of those multidisk games

For instance to play Blue Dragon i will have to go put the disk in drive and take it out like 200 times or more, and you really think i will have a problem inserting 2 times the next dvd ?

Are some people in this forums a total joke ? We are talking about 10 seconds of your life per game here, to change a disk two times more than you would in let's say Blue Ray, if your time is so valuable trust me, you would not be playing games at all
