Support NeoGAF

[Kabelly]

since im on PC I wouldn't have bought a physical of Alan Wake anyways but then they had to make it Epic Games exclusive so now I really won't buy it.

 

[fart town usa]

Absolutely. I appreciate physical but I'm over it for current gen. Just don't care anymore and I try my best to not accumulate more boxes/cases.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Maybe one day, when they're dirt cheap.

 

[Luipadre]

I dont give a shit about physical. Buying digital games since the end of PS3 era so yes im buying alan wake.

 

[abstract alien]

One of you let me borrow them since y'all love physical copies so much. Share the love.

 

[Aenima]

Not at launch, maybe during a 20$ promo, if they dont appear in PS+ before that. And thats for Gaiden, Allan Wake 2 is not in my wishlist. BG3 will be another to buy for 20$ during a promo.
As much as i love the Yakuza series, i refuse to support the death of physical media.

 

[T-Cake]

Nope, because it's Epic exclusive on PC, it will just have to wait until they give it away as one of their freebies. And the same with PlayStation, I'll wait until it goes on PS+ Extra.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Havent bought a physical game in 6-7 years. Take a guess.

 

[Schmendrick]

Maybe from the bargain bin in the <20 category. If I can't buy to own I'll not buy full price.

 

[Miles708]

You can buy Like a Dragon Gaiden physical and that's what i'm gonna do.

Alan Wake 2, though, it's a no go.

 

[Gee]

In a deep sale in a year or 2.

 

[RavageX]

Like a Dragon Gaiden sure, I 100% like to support RGG Studios. Although as someone who owns all Yakuza physical titles it kind of bores me they went only digital for this one.

I've done this as well, however since the main guy is gone and they went this route.....I might sit this one out. (Which is sad, I own all the games at this point)

 

[PanzerCute]

Yakuza because I can grab the physical asian copy with full western localisation on the disc.

Aw2 I will buy on deep sale because of the digital only. Same with BG3.

Fuck that trend.

 

[TGO]

Alan Woke 2 is definitely a game I'm interested in but.......I won't support a digital only release for a title like this.
It should have a physical release.
And the reason for a digital only release?

allows Remedy to ensure that it's completely ready to go on the day of release

Alan Wake 2 Delayed, Still Launching Before Halloween

The delay may help Remedy's sequel breathe a bit better in a crowded month.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Game Who Erased it's Sales
I have everyone physical, I haven't even started on half on them.
So I'm in no rush to buy it especially when it's not a physical release

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I’m quite surprised by that. I thought Alan Wake 2 was big enough to get a physical release

 

[Flutta]

Nevah

 

[StereoVsn]

Never forget what they took from us. Now you literally get a disc in the cheapest possible case and if you’re lucky an insert that is an advertisement of some sort.

Loved OG BG1&2 and Fallout 1&2 packages.

 

[Gambit2483]

I'll be picking up the physical version of Like A Dragon from Play-Asia. Won't be touching Alan Wake.

If they want to limit their revenue streams that's on them. FAFO

 

[marjo]

I'll get Alan Wake II if it ever comes to Steam.

 

[AngelMuffin]

No physical, no buy…at least not until a great sale down the road.

 

[balls of snow]

I Am already 90% digital so hell yeah. Imagine all the indies I dont get to play because its not on physical.

 

[SenkiDala]

Yes of course, the important part is the game itself and it has always been.

 

[Lupin25]

Yeah I am.


I’m not going to act like I have the time to go out and buy every physical release anyways. Gonna get AW2 on sale and Yakuza day one.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Can’t even remember the last game I bought in physical, would have been PS3 era.

 

[Valt7786]

Yeah, I'll be picking up Alan Wake, couldn't give a shit about this physical vs digital fight. Either way you have the game, so whats the problem? Unless you're in an unfortunate enough situation that trading in/buying for $10 in 3 years is your only option or your just a complete tight-arse.

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

I'll download Alan Wake on Game pass ultimate like I did Sea of Stars. Difference is I'll be buying a physical edition of sea of stars as soon as it comes out. If Alan Wake doesn't come to GPU I just won't play it.

 

[DavidGzz]

Yes, I haven't bought a physical game since Xbox 360/PS3.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Alan Wake 2 yes.

LaD no, don’t care for Japanese style games.

 

[Destruction-1002]

A digital future is what you expected since the beginning of previous gen as games got dígital releases at day one

The first Alan Wake came out in May 2010, but the Xbox 360 only got digital release in November 2010, 6 months later

Alan Wake coming to Games on Demand - MCV/DEVELOP

Microsoft has announced that Alan Wake will be available as a Games on Demand title in two weeks.The Remedy-developed thriller will join a select range of - MCV/DEVELOP

[Hudo]

My main platform is PC and I have already submitted to my fate of not getting big box PC games back... But I am glad that I have experienced the time where they still existed.

Edit: Should've seen the downfall coming when they shifted towards the shitty DVD jewel cases

 

[Danjin44]

I don’t understand how come super niche game like Another Code can have physical copy release but these guys can’t.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

I don’t understand how come super niche game like Another Code can have physical copy release but these guys can’t.

They want to kill the used games market. That's why. No physical copies in the wild higher margin.

 

[Luipadre]

Yes, i mean look at this shit

 

[BacklashWave534]

On PC where i can actually own them, possibly.

 

[Dane]

I don’t understand how come super niche game like Another Code can have physical copy release but these guys can’t.

Games like Another Code are certain to retain value and be valued itself for the fanbase since there wasn't a new game in like 15 years, a triple A game? Most likely on bargain bin in 1.5-2 years, even at digital.

 

[Grailwanderer]

No physical, no buy

 

[semiconscious]

well, if it's the only way that a game i want to play is available, then, yeah, of course i will. ask me something harder next time...

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

maybe for $5

 

[BootsLoader]

When sale, will buy. Never full price digital.

 

[mejin]

I bought AW2.

And Gaiden I can see as a christmas gift.

 

[rofif]

Never forget what they took from us. Now you literally get a disc in the cheapest possible case and if you’re lucky an insert that is an advertisement of some sort.

Cheaper than on PSN, I own it, I can play 1.0 if I want. Don't care about being hacked or banned by sony if they ever change policy and I no longer "fit in".
Crap or not but it's cheaper! Don't have elden ring pics but 1.0 of elden ring is a really really really interesting version of the game.... and it comes with tons of goodies too.
Nothing comes with as much goodies as saints row though lol. Not gonna post it but it was best 10$ spent in my life.

 

[Karppuuna]

At some point in the discount.

 

[rofif]

Just for lulz. Look at Saints Row lol. 10$ (while it was 60 on psn) and this is the most goodies I've ever seen in a normal edition of a game hahaha. Even a bandana and pendant
And obligatory Forspoken Steelbook. very nice

 

[Muffdraul]

Absolutely, I have no use for physical. None of the "My top 10 reasons for wanting to stay physical" bullet points apply to me. The digital future has been here for a few years now.

 

[Js562]

Yeah why not. Most of my shit is digital unless I can get a physical copy real cheap

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Of course, fuck physical media.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Nope

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

I'll buy anything and everything from RGG Studio, Alan Wake 2 probably won't ever come to Steam, so that's a no from me.

 

[Negotiator101]

I hope it doesn't take hold, as digital games are much more expensive than physical ones here. I will not be buying either of these games. If at all then much much later for little money. How about you folks? Do you not care or will you just not support digital only single player games?

I'll support any game that's a quality title, no matter digital or physical, store or hardware. Anyone not buying a game because of this or its not on Steam etc is being very silly.

 

[existensmaximum]

If Alan Wake 2 never gets a physical release I will only buy it at a very heavy discount.
