For console games I always buy physical but for PC I buy digital. I have a ton of Ps1 - 5 games that I have physical copies of and they get played alot . My son is also getting into gaming and he likes to look through the games on my shelf to find fun things to play.
I ended up playing my physical copies way less than digital ones because I can’t be arsed to juggle disks and cartridges.
I sold most of my physical collection when upgrading from PS4 to XSX and bought those games digital there since Microsoft has proven to be solid when it comes to backwards compatibility.
All of my portable consoles (Switch, Vita, DSi, N3DS, Analogue Pocket) are jailbroken and digital only because memory is so cheap that I can hold all noteworthy games on a single SD card. In time current systems will end up in a similar state so there’s little point getting attached to dust collecting boxes.
I’m pretty much all digital. I know the arguments for “you don’t really own those digital copies of media,” but it still feels like it’s mine because I can still go and play any of those games whenever I want. I’d just need to reinstall it with an Internet connection.
My PC doesn’t even have a disk drive so I can’t play physical unless I get an external drive, and I don’t really care enough to do that.
Most of the time physically, it is just a code to activate it on steam.
On PC the pirates says, what you can do with it. On the console the company says if you own this movie/game you BOUGHT or not. ( See the Playstation movie “incident” where Sony removed many movies some people BOUGHT, but at least the backlash made Sone reconsider the BS they wanted to pull of. )
P.S. Yeah, yeah i know. “It iSnT BuYiNg YoU OnLy PuRchAsE a LiCenSe tO ThE PrOdUcT” But still its such b.s. that you declare it as BUYING instead of RENTING, Sony have them on their neck of the console gamers, because piracy or third party stores are not existing so they can pull of those stunts.
I often buy physical for games I know I’ll like, for the rest, mostly digital.
When I end up liking a specific digitally bought game a lot, I try to buy a physical copy as an “archive” copy, in the case the store shuts down. An example would be Hades, which I bought digital, and ended up buying a switch physical copy from Limited Run Games.
I didn’t have much physical space in my last apartment, so I got used to buying as much media digitally as I could. I got used to it, and now prefer it. And now that I’ve shifted from console gaming to PC gaming, I’m pretty much all in on digital.
Bought a New 2DS XL for my oldest son when he turned 9. Bought a second one for myself not long after. They were cheap secondhand, so it was a quick decision. I love the games and I used to play on my commute. Now it is mostly played on by my youngest. We’ve got a shit load of games, most also bought secondhand. And they still play on them anytime we go for a long drive! It is definitely the best system I’ve owned. Massive bang for buck.
Not seen it anywhere else in this thread so…Colosseum: Road to Freedom
Roman slave fights in the arena to gain fame, fortune and, most importantly, freedom. Super good. Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏 🙌
Wow. Yeah, absolutely. I had forgotten about that game until you mentioned it. Thank you for reminding me. It’s entirely unique and deserves to be remembered. But yeah, I don’t think I have it in me to replay it.
Yeah, it’s an amazing game. And, yeah, you most likely got the good ending. The other route has more lore and a lot of post game content, assuming you’re playing the Switch version. (The Steam version still has post game content, but they added more in the Switch version.)
