IceEdge: I was thinking your response was way worse than my "ranting post" as you offered no detail, no counter argument, and no value to the post whatsoever.

I used that structure to provoke a response for which I got.

Reading into and between all the lines of what I wrote is the point that a very few games now and in the near future can or need take advantage of extra space that BR has to offer.  Just because one media has more space does not automatically mean that that is the better solution for the vast majority of the population.  The case will most definately be more valid 1 or 2 years down the road.  Until then extra space is not necessarily the deciding factor as to what media and platform to choose.

 


Normally I always explain my thinking, but im not loosing my time arguing with an alternate account who post bullshit to provoke a response (thanks for saying it).

What about the rest of us who want to know what you think is so bad about it? While I disagree with some of the points of it, they at least tried giving reasons to support what they think. If you disagree, say why, rather than calling the post out for being bad.

@Holesome: As you may have read, I did say I have some issues. You bring up multiple languages as a point. I personally have a preference for a language, as do you, apparently. However, what if they only put 1 language on, and it wasn't your preferred language? Space being used for more languages is a benefit- we can hear it (or read it) however we want to. As an anime fan, I've seen the dub vs sub wars, and that just boils down to language. The language isn't necessarily an excuse to play it again, rather, it exists to let you play it how you want to.

Space... I agree with you in that it leads to a lot of inefficiencies by merely having the space with no plans to use it. (Back in the cartridge day, that was a foolish thing to do.) And yes, most, if not all, games today do not need a full BR-50. If you really think that's not enough space for your game in today's tech, then you don't know how to program efficiently. (Though I think you agree with me on this.) Where I differ is the years later, and the DVD still being sufficient. HD resolutions, even compressed, take up a fair amount of space. A BD-25 or 2 DVD-9s should be sufficient in my eyes for most, if not all, games. I would prefer if things could stay on a single DVD-9, but technology is not permitting that.

Well, the guy was posting to provoke a response, he even said it himself. With 8 post and posting to provoke, well im not gonna explain further. Find it strange that you defend him instead of me, thx a lot!
