It is not like music. Most music is DRM free so you can download an album etc and do what you want with it. You can put it on any device anywhere, back it up etc with no internet connection needed after the download. With games you can't do any of that due to restrictive DRM.
Movies are also much better quality on physical media, streamed video is highly compressed and looks like crap in comparison.
Yeah if you only play a game once then delete it never to return, and don't care about being able to sell it. Otherwise it is a pain. If you previously deleted it for space but go to replay it again due to DRM you need to re download the whole damn thing again which is stupid. Then when the games are eventually pulled offline you lose the game forever. Digital is like an extended rental that eventually expires. That would be ok if it was priced as such.
I liked the game more than I thought. To me it was a cover shooter with great graphics and I like the story, what there was of it. The biggest issue to me was it was too short, and basically just stopped with no ending. It was like they had big plans but then just wrapped it up and shipped it unfinished. This game could have used at least another year to flesh out. I did enjoy it though and I think it gets more hate than it deserves.
When the PC is taken advantage of the difference is great. Sometimes games are lazy ports. Since this one was made with xbone in mind as the lead platform it isn't going to look as good as it could on a PC. They aren't going to redo the whole thing, it is too much work. Instead you will only get the usual resolution/frame rate bumps on PC with this one.
Show me these people. I never hear anyone saying that a PS4 can match a high end PC in power. You just made that up for the sake of sensationalism. I do hear people saying that the PS4 has more powerful hardware than the xbone though but that is true. It isn't a huge difference but there is one.
Fix the bugs first.
Or just buy physical copies. I do and it only takes a few minutes to reinstall a game.
Quality costs more. I don't know why people have such a hard time with the concept. Do you want a VR set that looks good and has optics that don't give you a headache? Or do you want some cheap crap with blurry lenses that makes you puke after 10 minutes? If you can't afford it at launch, save up. It may take longer for you to be able to buy something good but once you do it is good forever, the cheap crap you buy today is crap forever.
I would like to be ab...
These bugs today are not just a few minor glitches or game crashes, they are many times game breaking. Then you have games that are basically unfinished.
I hear people here saying it is fine because you can just patch the bugs.
There are a few big flaws with that.
You have to wait until the fix is out.
Not everyone is like you, many don't have internet or have slow internet. What, people without an internet connection d...
Unless they didn't have both consoles or just didn't play it last gen. Some may also want to replay it with better resolution and graphics. I skipped GTA V so I bought the remake for example.
It is kind of like why people buy movies on Blu ray even if they had it on VHS tape, better quality, same movie.
VR is actually too cheap. For the prices they are charging the headsets are going to be crap with crap lenses. I looked at Sony's old HMZ headsets a while back and those were $800.00 and only played 3D movies at 720p, no VR. The optics in those were terrible even at that price, everything at the edges of the screen was a blurry mess. It looked like they used surplus plastic lenses from old Viewmasters. Samsung Gear VR is the same, junk lenses that are blurry at the edges with loads o...
So games will look better on better hardware (when devs take advantage of it, unlike Ubi and Bethesda that go for parity). No big surprise there.

You do know that the X1 is the leading platform for many games too. Mad Max and Fallout 4 were both made and optimized for X1 then ported to PS4. I guess that explains why those run as good or better on the X1 even with weaker hardware. It would be nice if games were optimized on both though instead of this parity crap.
Damn Sony and Microsoft for making these consoles so weak. I hope they make the PS5 and Xbox Two much better.
I don't care about this game so much because it is online only but these consoles already being so far behind an even average PC is disappointing.
You better get used to it. Weaker hardware is weaker.
Probably ONLY on PC. I play this on PS4 and there are some pretty ugly textures and bland lighting in some areas. If you look out at a distance it looks terrible. I remember Dying Light even on PS4 looking MUCH better.
I remember CDPR saying a similar thing about The Glitcher 3. It was a bugfest that required multiple patches. So...
There seem to be much more of them. There are even some that do have some basic SP modes like Need for Speed and The Division but still require you to be online even if playing solo. That is inexcusable. This only insures they can decide for you when you can't play "your" game anymore by shutting down server support for it. People went nuclear over the X1 DRM but this is even worse.
If they offer some sort of SP mode that doesn't require MP interaction then they should allow it to be played offline even if just so you can play it when the servers or internet are down or just want to practice. There is no harm in that option. Requiring a connection even if playing a SP mode makes no sense. What you are saying is a copout.
It does start slow and honestly the first hour I didn't like it. As I got further in I liked it more. I can see why this isn't for everyone. DudeBro shooter fans will hate it. I beat it and enjoyed it despite its flaws which all games have. It has good atmosphere and sense of place and many parts were interesting. he Asylum creeped me out. Most games like this force third person view but this being a FPV game gave it more immersion. I had no texture pop up or screen tearing eithe...
