3 discs? Try 7 or 8. MGS4 used 50GB, and 75GB to 100GB discs are just around the corner. Eventually, BluRay disks will reach 150Gb to 200GB.

For other genres, especially shooters, which are linear experiences featuring the same dusky, dreary slab of battlefield red-brown-greys, the extra space doesn't matter. But for RPGs, which require huge, immersive and expansive game-worlds which the player has the freedom to explore as they wish, the lack of storage is a deal-killer. Reason: every new location requires you to backtrack to a particular disc. Instead of changing the disc every ten hours, it will be more like every ten minutes, especially later in the game.

 

have you played ff7 or lost oddysey, i dont remember a time when i had to back track to disc 2 or disc 3 when i was on disc 4 LOLs, usually you just keep playing foward and theres really no use in going back to disc 1 or disc 2 when on disc 4, when a story starts out, all the missions and storyline will happen in disc 1, what ever you need to collect will be on that disc, items and other stuff will be passed to disc two, you will have same enviroments same places to explore but new storyline and objective will on disc 2.

 

 

I don't care how many discs the Xbox version gets while the PS3 version is complete, and not cut down to make it equal to the xbox one, but I must say something about your argument.

 

You said if he ever played FF7... well... did you ever play FF8 or FF9?

There are areas you can't access once you are on a different disc. True, you do not backtrack changing a disc like the one you quoted said, but there are unaccessible areas depending on the disc on this two sequels.
