@capturedrapture @Zignoff I lived in that era too but physical manuals are nothing more than wasting our environment.

Before you start yapping about physical copies of games doing the same thing you need to realize there is a huge difference between physical vs digital manuals and physical vs digital games.

@capturedrapture @Meta-Gnostic Actually Sony has done it with digital titles at launch. Google it. Sony also offers ultimate editions digitally that contain all the dlc.

People who buy used games cannot afford new games and cannot afford digital games at all. It will not deter people from buying used.

@xxYetterxx @Meta-Gnostic @capturedrapture

How the hell does the consumer benefit when you're only licensing the game for your use? You're usually paying the same price for less.

You cannot sell the game after you're done with it. You do not own the game. The game may not work on future consoles. The game will eventually be pulled from being available at all. If you lose it, you may not be able to redownload it. If you did not buy the game when it was available, you'll never be able to play it.

If it's a Nintendo platform and your hardware breaks you lose all your games permanently unless you pay $200 to get your Wii U fixed.

@vault-boy @Meta-Gnostic He's not saying that. He's saying while action and fps type games can exist as $60 retail games, horror cannot. Further, he is saying horror games can only do well as digital downloads.

Seriously, you're gravely mistaken. He's saying games that once were more niche and had a dedicated consumer base should have their sequels changed into mainstream action/fps games to make more money.

@capturedrapture @Meta-Gnostic Sony already does cheaper deals on digital.

@capturedrapture Some of us don't want digital copies. We want games we own, not games we license for use.

The only way getting rid of used games that would be justified is if publishers lowered the price of new games to $39.99. But that will never happen.

I sure hope this comes out on disc for the entire package and not just digital download packs/entire pack. The extras look nice. About friggin time they added online to the old games.

@Axile11 That is the price you pay for getting electronics earlier than everyone else. Most of us are all waiting for a price we can afford and those extra bells and whistles. You have no right to complain that the Vita you bought months to a year ago doesn't have what it has now.

Cliff shows he's all about the financial side of game development rather than the creative side. He'll do well at whatever company decides to hire him, but I won't buy his game.

As long as I can get a good deal from GS every now and then I will be sad to see them close. Despite what everyone says you are able to get good deals from GS sometimes. Plus, there is barely any other stores I can go to where I walk in and almost the entire store is dedicated to video games.
