Rockstar-Disc swapping is hassle free with LA Noire

Changing discs after 20 hours of playing, big deal. Why is everyone talking about this?

Because it's not 1997

I don't want to swap discs, I'd like to be able to rip all three and just keep one disc in the tray for the entire game

That was my point, i should add /sarcasm next time :P

madsnakehhh

My bad. >.>

Eh, probably easier than changing your credit card information.

So, there's gonna be a lot of content :D

3 disk > 1 disk

way more content

i'd like to see COD on 4 discs. :D

please insert disc 2 to reload.

When I use my PS3 for games (which is something I rarely do, it's a BluRay player that's also a sub par gaming device) I'm not in the middle of Uncharted 2 and it says "please insert the game disc Infamous to continue"

There is no excuse for this

If I were to get it on a console, I'd get it on PS3. Not because disc swapping is a hassle, but because I install all of my disc games on 360 because the disc drive so loud. I'd rather have one long install up front than three installs spread about.

Lemmings enjoy disc swapping, what else can I say?

Oh yeah, they also like getting less content.

I dont know why they don't do that, Froza did that, and atleast 1 other game did

Forza did it and Mass Effect 2 did that

I don't mind keeping a disc in the tray after I rip the games but at least let it be just one disc, I mean this is one reason I have a large hard drive. I rip all the games I'm currently playing so why not let me rip multi disc games and just keep whatever disc from the set they want in the tray?

I don't get it

TheGuardian03

Or you could just rip all three at the start?

That never occurred to you?

Solquid_Snake

Why should I when:

1. I get exclusive content.

2. I get exclusive games.

3. All of my games are on 1, scratch-resistant disc.

You also have no online.

It does show the limitations of an ordinary DVD drive.

Disc swapping has been in every gen since the PS1. It's not a big deal anymore, folks.

How can disc swapping NOT be a hassle. It totally breaks immersion which is what LA Noire is desperately trying to do. Im guessing lower ratings on the 360 versio for this reason

alfredooo

lower ratings because of disc swapping? you can't be serious

Its an exaggeration yes but if some games can get less marks by breaking immersion with cutscenes,which are still in game, then why can't this be docked marks for actually breaking all flow of the game completely to make you get off your seat for a disc swap? Come on, we live in 2011. And also if you scratch one disc and it doesn't work then doest that mean they are all bogus?

I wonder how one could possibly worry about a trivial task like disc swapping. How is that such a big deal?

Some gamers like to blow everything out of proportion. It's nothing new really :P.

I actually like the disk swapping in a nostalgic way. Then I can brag to everyone about being on disk three :).

I heard rumors they are fixing the online and I also heard another one talking about the Microsoft guys working on a new disc technology so go figure.

many games on the PC don't require a disc to play, plus also you can DL full games, on PC and Xbox and probably the PS3??

When you install a game on the PC, it extracts the content on to your hard drive. Doesn't do that on the 360 or PS3

Yes. FFVIII,FFIX,Legend of dragoon and even MGS1.Its just weird for me fora game nowadays to have disc switching. Im not saying t won't be a great game or anything.
