a friend of mine lent us a copy of Spider-Man for the PS4 and I’d like to say that it should be fucking illegal to put a game onto a disc and then give it a 47-gig “patch” to download the first time you run it
At the very least they should put a big label on the front of the game like “JUST POP THIS IN LIKE AN HOUR BEFORE YOU WANNA PLAY, BECAUSE THIS GAME FOCACCIA NEEDS TO RISE
@irisjaycomics I heard some Video Gamesters talking excitedly about new features that will potentially let you download new games on console BEFORE you buy them and I'm trying to think about how this is anything but a screaming damnnation on how fucked video game physical media is nowadays.
@ComputerHusband ahh yes, from the magical parallel universe where we all have infinite bandwidth and nothing else to do with our time or money

@irisjaycomics I know it ended up making me go on a "hey how IS physical media doing anyways" and, uh

like blu-rays are by default only 25gb, and you can apparently do some weird bullshit Extended Mode recording to them to make them 50gb.

we're gonna go back to fuckin cartridges at this rate or just buying a case with a USB stick in it.

@ComputerHusband I think the idea is we’re all just going to give up and start downloading shit by default, which Isn’t Great but does make me glad I’m primarily a PC gamer at least

@irisjaycomics todd howard launches a copy of the complete works of skyrim directly into my nuts, taking me out

thats gameing, friends

@ComputerHusband can’t spell “starfield” without “idle farts”
@irisjaycomics starfield and friends. Starfield Crusaders.
