Yes, because who wants to own their shit when they can just perpetually lease it with the unending dread of losing it all at any moment (digital platform of choice) shuts down or just says fuck you, we’re taking the games away and you cant do shit about it.
Tell me what console or system or even game manufacturer that lets you buy their game, download it to a portable micro SD and then lets you play it from there.
Not even steam lets you do that and you don’t even have a direct way of knowing what’s on the micro SD card without making a label for it which good luck.
No steam is definitely not the bastion to use as they really aren’t gonna work. They like games tied to accounts.
You could say GOG games but it really still defeats the point of it not being even close to similar to a physical game you could resell and having a nicely labeled piece of physical media.
I know you aren’t the person originally with the really bad argument btw, but yeah the list is super small this would work for.
First, you can totally make a steam library on a portable device like a microsd or an external drive (I do and I play on different places with the same drive), and play it on any device running steam.
And don’t start the “oh but you need steam installed”, since with the proprietary sd, you gotta have the propriety device as well.
Second, sure I can just lavel it, a 3 seconds job. Don’t you need the proprietary sd to come labeled as well? Also, I don’t need to label anything, I have dozens of games there and select which one I want to play.
Your defense of OP’s comment is also weird but that’s okay, we all are always learning.
Each format of game has its own merits ans they are only better than another on an objective comparison, as for subjective, just use whatever you want.
Always loved that the second I was doing better than they were or just got to a further point than them they’d rip the controller away and say something like “I got it I got it, stop hogging the game!” Then would cry and scream if I beat it for them because inevitably 12 minutes later they’d ask for help again and no amount of showing them would help them figure it out.
If anyone is old enough to remember Infocom games, they came with “feelies,” just random fun stuff related to the game they decided to include. It occasionally was needed to solve a game puzzle, but usually not.
When people talk about games having heart, this is it. Little unnecessary goodies just because you’re excited that people are buying your game and you want them to be into it.
The map in GTA3. There was a mission towards the end of the game I kept failing; to deliver a corrupt FBI agent to the airport. Eventually I realised, after studying the map, I could bypass all the road blocks by taking the light rail system. I felt like an 11 year old Einstein.
Is that the timed mission where they posted up enemies everywhere with rocket launchers along the normal route? That mission ended my last attempt at a playthrough, still never finished GTA3
