| Leynos said: It's a fucking royal pain in the ass to reinstall games on PS4 for example. Why? Because of the bullshit that is trophy data. Running out of room on HDD or even External HDD. (I have over 80 games for it) Ok let's uninstall Nier Automata for example. Ok, I will delete it. Some months later I want to play it. I install it but uh oh. It won't let me play because the OPTIONAL DLC is not installed because that DLC has trophy data. Ok so Install the DLC...but ok the game works but the DLC is not in the game...wait, what? Sometimes it takes a few installs and other hoops you have to jump through like deleting save data to get it working(have to re download the save data from PS+). DMC5 gave me the same guff. My games on my shelf that are 20 years old I can just pop in and they will play. No bullshit. No worrying about recovering them from a long-dead service. No worries about BS trophy data. My Wiiware games are gone tho. I like the case. The box art. The sometimes manuals. The bonus goodies. Holding the game. It's a full experience that feels shallow digital. Why I can never get into PC gaming no matter how much I try. Also, records are still used as they sound better than MP3 files. |
Even physical formats have the same issue as one day they too will stop working at this point the is no better option only what each individual prefers.
