a3quit4s 3,230 Member · Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Picked up Modern Warfare on the way home. Came downstairs and set it up to install, because can’t play a game without waiting 1,000 minutes for the install (and I have god damn FIOS gigabit). Took my son upstairs, changed him, put PJs on, fed him, put him to bed, did some cleanup In his room, got a bottle ready for the night shift if needed, and cleaned some more on the lower level of my house. Came back downstairs had to have been at least 30 minutes later and the shit still took another 30 minutes to install. C’MON MAN NOW I JUST WANT TO GO TO BED.

zeppelin03 314 Member · Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I've been less and less inclined to buy games physically for the disc based consoles. The install times are so slow and all the updates required makes to disc feel kind of pointless anyhow. If it's cross platform I'll aim for PC or Game Pass.

I thought of that, but just cant bring myself to do it. Unless I am counting destiny dlc on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the last generation of physical media for me. For PS5 and Xbox Two I'm going all digital baby. I'm finally ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back on years of games that I bought to play and then didn't like and I'm just fully out of pocket on them sucked ass. Even just getting a tenner for a game I paid full price for would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides trading in ten SNES games to get $100 off a sexy new PlayStation in 1996 (I regret nothing!), I've essentially never sold any games. Hopefully digital will be a release from the bonds of new clutter and make my wife very happy. New old clutter will probably continue as I eventually finish my NES collection and start something new.

Jono1874 144 Member · Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I went digital with the Switch and I don't regret it in the slightest. I'm half and half with PS4 though. I have hundreds upon hundreds of physical games and I don't want to clutter my physical collection of retro stuff with non retro. Gotta save that space for more retro stuff.

Psychobear85 139 Member · Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 If I’m not home I make my son download it. I remember when destiny 2 came out how long that took. Oh well I guess it’s the new norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s 3,230 Member · Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 For what it’s worth Modern Warfare was worth it. It’s a real shout out to the roots of the series at least for multiplayer. There aren’t people jumping all over with special powers like the f’n X-men in outer space with zombies and lasers and shit. Just fun boots on the ground shooting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW2 is the MVP but BLOPS 2 was so good too. Had no interest in playing Ghosts onward. All the futuristic crap in the later series pushed everyone away. I rolled my eyes at rebooting Modern Warfare, but I'm starting to get more interested in it. I haven't played an online multiplayer game since BLOPS 2. Kinda want to jump back in. Thanks.

If you have some games in your backlog, wait till Black Friday to pick this up it’ll probably price drop a good $20. Or if you prime or GCU with Best Buy pick it up So far all I’ve played is team death match and it has MW2 vibes all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette 1,165 Member · Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Im like 50/50 physical digital with switch. Standout titles like Zelda and mario I get physical. Lesser titles I just want to plug and play like the genesis collection, golf story, some random rhythm games I downloaded I went digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
