Do you still buy physical games, Yea Forums?
Do you still buy physical games, Yea Forums?
Yes, but only because I'm an amazon employee and get a discount.
yes, if i plan on selling it on ebay later
i'm so sorry not even discounts makes me wish i was in your situation.
>he thinks I work in a warehouse
I don't.
>physical releases for new PC games are almost non-existent now
>pretty soon even consoles will go 100% digital
>Finds time to post online
>Despite being deathly dehydrated and having missing skin from his fingers from picking items all day
You're taking one for the team, Soldier. The team being world monopolization of consumer goods
>Some AAA company sells 200,000 digital copies of a $59.99 game instead of 1,000,000 of a $39.99 physical game
I sure as heck hope that doesn't happen.
Might get Death Stranding on physical so my friends can borrow it desu.
>decided to buy only physical
>my ps4, the piece of shit that it is, decided to stop reading blu-ray
Never fucking again
then why are you posting here, Jeff?
blow me
buying digital is for cucks, imagine not even owning the game you paid for
Only for switch since it's high resale value. The rest I stick with digital due to game sharing
Only because I still have the 20% GCU discount
After that I'll just stick to limited run games since they actually have some resale value if needed
No
You blow me so you can be my friend and borrow it
no, I'm not a boomer
I love buying physical games!
There's nothing better then heading on over to Gamestop, preordering an upcoming title, with my trade-ins of course.
By trading in physical games I purchased I can get more for a lower cost, and being a Pro member makes the deals all the better!
Yes. Mainly because it's still cheaper.
Exclusively, unless it's pirated, on pc, or digital only
Fuck no PCMR baby if they weren't just steam codes in there I'd consider it even when I still had an Xbone in the bedroom I bought like most of my games digitally because I lost interest in collecting the games I liked because games pretty much stopped being on the disk so "games preservation" is long over
Wrong?
It's literally the opposite digtal games are always cheaper
You never owned those games on your PS2 Vro. I own my hard drives and no one can delete them but me
Did you check out the stores fine selection of videogame and geek culture items. I reccomend the deadpool funko pop
Depends on the console and depends on the game. PS4 and Xbone digital sales are usually lackluster.
Having a large amount of neatly organized games all on a shelf is so good. Also back when they were a thing going through the manuals and reading them when you bought a game was a treat.
I really wish I could go back and stop myself from throwing away all my GB/GBA boxes though. I just keep the carts in bags now.
Not wrong, at least here in Australia.
You American? Cos I'm from eastern yuropoorland and ps4 sales are usually at least 5-10 euros what the local stores offer
He's right though, physical games are often cheaper when the game goes on sale because they don't wanna be stuck with 20 million dollars worth of physical copies, compared to digital downloads which "cost nothing to create"
Yes. PS store is in some cases 3-5x more expensive than ordering a physical copy from overseas, for new releases its usually twice as expensive. I don't mind waiting a week or 2 for it to arrive.
>buy physical
>still have to download game off internet
>>buy physical
>>still have to download game off internet
This.
What's the point of buying physical when you still download like 3283383838 gigabytes
Whenever possible, doubly so with Nintendo.
Have I!?!
With so many geek collectibles thanks to the fine folks at ThinkGeek, I can always fine the newest and greatest merchandise.
Like the Mjölnir meat tenderizer!
A box of my favorite cereal Funkos!
The sweetest looking deadpoll mugs, to go with my POPS!
and of course a Game of Thrones Monopoly board game.
All why saving so much money when I trade in my old retro games, like Playstation and Super Nintendo!! With a sweet 10% bonus on all trades thanks to my Pro membership.
If the game can't be played from disc - don't buy it.
Sharing with friends? Nintendo shit is so expensive that my brother and I just loan each other games.
I bought 2 of them 20 minutes ago.
Why the fuck does Nintendo's shit never go on sale like everything else?
Glorified access tickets that you can disply
Because you can trade/sell games you beat
>Nintendo
Who cares about virgins lmao
They know retards will still buy their games, no matter how expensive they can be
For paying the same price...I just like having the physical copy, the sleeves, etc.
I miss game manuals, as well. Sucks they don't even make them anymore.
I have PC and Switch. Steam on PC, so obviously I am all digital, and for Switch I have only 4 physical copies (and 40 digital). So I guess... the answer is no.
>buy a game you like for 60 euros
>sell it after a year for like 10-20
Meh, might as well keep it as a "collector's item"
Nintendo's games (yes, games published by Nintendo) go on sale, but not often. And they go off maybe 30%, no more.
You guys keep asking these questions every day, and every day you got the same response. I have a feeling you're just baiting for (You)
As I was walking out the door wallet empty, arms filled with gaming decor. The kind gamestop employee reminded me of the preorder bonuses for all the upcoming games. 1 trip to the blood bank and I was all set
you literally don't own any game you didn't make whether you bought it physically or digitally
ya i prefer it
Nintendo pressures retailers to keep prices up and it's why Amazon dropped them during the Wii-U era.
Nintendo games are timeless. I don't know how the fuck do they do it, but you can fucking play SMW and still feel amazed by it.
Because you're a simpleton, everyone one knows Mario 3 was the apex
Some people dismiss SMB3 for the graphics, but yeah, one of the best memories of my childhood.
Post 5 examples
I mean y'all proabaly don't want G2A pricing where the xbox live code is still like 10$ cheaper than Resident Evil 2 from gamestop version at 60$ whereas the steam version on G2A is like 35$ right now. I forgot that console digtal sales aren't the best I proabaly is cheaper to get the physical PS4 version off of amazon
Mario 3 being better than World doesn't make World bad you blithering buffoon.
I'm mostly playing PC and Switch these days so not really. I've made one physical purchase so far this year, KH3.
No but I sure made the genesis the better choice in 1989
yes because i like owning the things I buy.
You don't own then tho, that disk is just more layers of DRM
> Playing on console
> In 2019
Get with the times Grandpa. It's not too late to join the PC master race
I don't own a modern console and I probably won't for awhile (might buy a ps5) so no.
that disk is mine to do with as I please. Gift it to a friend, throw it away, sell it etc.
digital? you can't even refund console digital games. even if it fucks your system up like Anthem did on the PS4
Or own both like any normal person has for the past 10+ years.
yeah I got a few digital switch games but I don't like the idea that nintendie can just stop me from playing them if they ban me or something so now I am buying exclusively physical for the last 6 months
Of course. Only buy digital when it’s dirt cheap. I like owning my games.
No only nerds need more than a PC I could care less about the 2% of games than don't make it to PC. Any money wasted on a console could go towards upgrading your PC and making the other 98% even better
Based
>You can sell that PSN account with all the games on it tho
I gave my friend an extra steam account I made when I made a LAN center because I just use the 1 account on my PCs and if they don't just bring their PC they can login and the game can be downloaded pretty fast
PS4 games are absurdly expensive compared to console ones, I don't get how anyone can claim PC gaming is more expensive when I know people irl who buy games for $60 day one when they're $50 at WORST on PC, I was annoyed Sekiro was expensive like that. That's assuming you don't pirate.
I almost never pirate and I don't ever pay more than 30-40$ for a game, I gots lots of newerngsmes too if you wait a month the deals start rolling in
has anyone made a list of games that don't have any patches or require any downloads for physical collecting?
I only buy physical
It's really not
Digital games stay full price for a ridiculously long time
I only own Digital games that I was gifted. I even buy physical for MMOs. I have like 30 PS4 games that I hardly play, maybe 50 DS/3DS games, and I even own the collectors edition for TORtanic and FFXIV.
As much as possible, yes.
Only time I'll buy digital copy, if it has a physical version, is when I buy a game on the PS4 that has a DLC. Reason for this is that I live in Asia and most physical copies are Asian version. Since I have a US account (blame Sony for not having my country as one of the choices when making a PSN account), certain DLC won't work since it strictly requires a US version of a game. This mostly occurs in some fighting games based on my experience.
Shit's pretty gay
They do cost some money, servers cost a bit to run, but it's nowhere near the price of physical.
