Lol you will go digital when games are no longer on discs, and GameStop finally dies (hopefully soon, maybe next gen). You could have been at home playing at 9 if you'd gone digital, with no annoying crowds or parasitic stores.
I still have PT on my hdd. Still works fine. Plus it was a demo; you literally had no right to it whatsoever, and that can't be equated to purchasing a game.
People make all this racket about how MS/Sony are going to delete your digital games, but they could just as easily release firmware that would make your discs not work anymore (which if you chose not to install, you could no longer use online features), so it's really no different.
For new games you pay the same for digital (sometimes there are even discounts for digital preorders, Witcher 3 being one example), so that argument is moot. Also, once people stop propping up stores like GameStop and just let physical games die, digital games will be cheaper.
I also mentioned Amazon launch day delivery as an option for discs as compared to going to the store, so I wasn't just talking about digital, anyway.
Also, I'm not going to sell...
I just don't understand why people keep doing this when Digital Preloading exists. Heck, even if you are one of those people who keeps buying discs so you "own the game," you can get same day delivery from Amazon now.
Maybe you've never played a third person game with good controls.
This. The disagrees have never played infamous games. I don't know why AC gets a pass when a similar game has such better controls (well, I do, the reviewers have never played infamous games seriously because it was a series that got established on PS3, so it's automatically "uncool"). An FPS with wonky controls would automatically get compared to COD/Halo/Destiny/etc.
The problem with this is that it doesn't factor in the possibility that people on one console or the other might be buying a higher percentage of games digitally. Maybe it is reasonable to assume the percentages are close to the same on both consoles, though.
Curious why you think this (or you @MichaelLito79) (actually interested - not trolling). 360 had a year head start (and more in Europe) and totally won the "hearts and minds" in the US, largely due to Sony's bad initial marketing and pricing. Despite that, PS3 still outsold 360 worldwide, if only slightly. Now, Xbox had the terrible pre-launch and higher initial price, and lost the goodwill advantage in the US. Despite declining game console sales in Japan, PS4 will probably sti...
They are comparing it to the old consoles as well. Just in case anyone is still trying to make the "but, but, install base!" argument for why new games should still be on PS3/360.
This. The Xbox 360 beating PS3 for those first few years was the anomaly, based on Sony's bad marketing and pricing. On the whole, especially outside of the US, Playstation is the infinitely stronger brand.
I think the people who are surprised only pay attention to US sales, and only look at the last ten years.
I hope Sony Santa Monica does something else. GOW 3 wrapped up the story, any more entries are unnecessary and dilute the franchise (I'm looking at you, Ascension).
No. NMS looks great already. I wouldn't care if they added VR compatibility, but if they are holding the initial release back just to add VR support (as many have suggested), that really sucks.
Great game.
I'm interested to see how MGSV sales through its first 2-3 months end up stacking up against MGS4's sales for the same amount of time. But not just NPD, because they ignore most of the world.
Seems a lot more like forced hate by commenters desperate to prove they hate EA more than anyone else.
It's Polygon: Why I'm not Clicking the Link.
Why wouldn't you be in a party with your friends if you are playing with them (legimately asking, I thought that's just what everyone did)?
I do hate the price, but I have often enjoyed base games without ever buying DLC, or with maybe only buying one pack. I loved Borderlands, but never played the DLC. I imagine that will happen here. I also don't understand the argument that this game is "bare bones." The first one launched with 16ish amps for basically one mode. This one has 12 modes (not counting training mode). I guess you can't play any Prequel stuff, I guess that turns some people off.
He is saying you can like something without it being "good." I certainly enjoy some action movies that aren't good by any objective standard.
Although this is a European chart, at least in the US the Nathan Drake collection is the first taste of Uncharted for many PS4 owners, unfortunately, because they did not own PS3s. I guess that is less applicable in Europe though, since people there didn't buy into the Xbox 360 hype as much.
In general I agree that there are too many re-releases, but for a few select PS3 classics I think it makes sense.
