If you don't feel like explaining your point then why bother even quoting me? It's obvious you have nothing substantial to add to this conversation, and your effort level in this argument is lower than radha's, whom I've already gone over this with on the last page. Why don't you just copy and paste his responses and be on your way?

 

I don't feel like explaining my point because I feel that what it meant was self evident but since you won't let it rest i'll have to . 9.X million people felt satisfied with playing on two discs 10 years ago because that was the norm then , those same people might not be contempt with switching discs 10 years down the line with advancements in technology which potentialy eliminate the need for disc switching .

"You sound like someone that wasn't even gaming at the time. Multidisk game were a gigantic badge of honor and an effective marketing tool. People back then weren't praising RPGs for how few discs they could cram them into. They were praising them for how many discs long they would end up being. Two discs were better than one disc. Three discs were better than two discs. Four discs were better than three discs. MGS, RE2 and GT 2 all benefitted from being on multiple discs because there was more game in them. Maybe games in the old days just had a better mentality that more game was worth the burden of getting off your ass and switching discs every ten hours or so."

The times of the walkman or the cassette player ? I don't see how people being satisfied with something gives a strong case for us being satisfied with it now . We live in the times of portability and minimalism , we don't carry music albulms in pouches anymore we carry MP3 players , we don't carry essays , coursework and documentation if there isn't a need because we have USB sticks , Hard drives , online servers etc .

We don't enjoy switching discs if we don't have to because we have the luxury of 1 disc , hopefully at one point we won't need any discs but there's a few obstacles before we get there . The transition from many to 1 shows progression , less is more now days and it gives us added convenience.

I don't think i'll debate much more with you onyx , you defend the XBOX 360 like crazy and I don't think the discussion would reach a conclusion of any sort.

 

It looks like most consumers would rather save the $200 and switch discs out.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
