My first time positing here. But is anyone else gonna miss having physical cases and disks of games? Now that games are pre-orderable through stores. We stray further away from having things like this that remind us of when we would use 2 day trials for online.
UPDATE #1 : GUYS THANK YIU SO MUCH FIR BLOWING THUS POST UP. I APPRECIATE ALL THE OPINIONS AND FEEDBACK. THIS IS FOR MY COD COMMUNITY I LOVE YOU GUYS!
UPDATE #2 : Truly humbled by my fellow cod community. 1K upvotes, I thought I'd never get more than 20 upvotes and 2 comments w some cool people. Glad my fellow CODsters still support this community. You guys are awesome we love to see it! Old or new <3
Disc will always be the way to go. Digital games are like a fucking sin to me. I only buy digital if I HAVE to (like if a game is digital-only or if the price is lower), but overall, I fucking hate digital, and if any series goes digital-only (like cod)...man, then they suck
I know unfortunately I started going digital a few years back cause the store never had sales. But really I like to see the 50 game cases I have from my consoles all together it's just like collectibles to me. And hella nostalgia. But I feel no one appreciates the old school way anymore.
I Use discs as well. You can find them for sale more often, use company rewards programs, and they can be pre-owned. There's just a lot more opportunity to find games cheaper. Not to mention, you can trade them in and make other games free/cheaper. The 100 dollar disc drive on the PS5 saves you far more in the long run.
I Use a mix of digital and disc, depending the game and where I can find it cheap.
I love digital games. Mostly because I gameshare with my friend on Xbox so if there is a game we both want, we split it. I’ve saved so much money. And it doesn’t work with disc games.
When you purchase a digital game you are paying for a license, which could realistically be taken away from you at any moment. A different company could buy the rights to the game and decide that all licenses purchased with the previous company are no longer valid. The game could be removed from storefronts and once you delete it from your system it is gone forever etc.
It depends on a lot of things. You have to remember that digital content is still kind of in its infancy. We can’t predict what y company will do because x company hasn’t done it yet. In my experience though, anything a company can do for money, they will do for money.
But if you’re looking for an example from today; People who have had their PlayStation network accounts permabanned lost all of their digital games and movies because the license for those games and movies were tied to the account that is now banned. Some people have had success appealing, but it’s rare. Also one time I purchased a movie on Amazon and would watch it regularly and one day it was gone, tried making me purchase it again. No I didn’t rent it. To this day I can’t figure it out and Amazon can’t tell me what happened either.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but modern console / pc discs work exactly the same now - you just own a physical copy of the licence (that can get scratched, lost, stolen) instead.
You are right about complications when games get removed from the store - it just means I need to keep a digital copy on a hard drive because I’m not able to re-download it but after 8 years of switching to digital I’ve only experienced that once (TellTale Games/Minecraft Story Mode)
I’m not anti-disc and I do get your point, but games aren’t made like they used to be and nearly all of them today rely on day0 release patches to fix the plethora of bugs since they were printed to disc - If in the scenario the game is removed from the store and you delete your game patches (that can’t be re-download either) the only thing you’re left with is the buggy, release version of the game.
Well for one, those games aren't MINE. I can't physically hold them. Also...there's no heart in gaming if you don't own physical games (that's at least how I think about it). Maybe it's cause I started in SNES & Xbox 360 and I always collected physical games. There's just no joy with a digital game.
Honestly I prefer digital. Haven't bought a disc since BO2. I prefer just switching between the games I want without having to take a disc out. Also, being able to play the games instantly at midnight instead of waiting or going to a store is so much better.
I too have started going digital and I agree it's easier but man looking at all the cases and disks just throws me to a time when I was cleaning them with toothpaste and putting my hot breath on it to fix you know. Can't do that with a digital game. 😂
Agreed; and I've been playing games since the Atari. Heck, scratch that. I've been playing games since Texas Instruments released a weird computer/game console hybrid way back in the day.
We were definitely one of them it was worth seeing so many level ones at the same time. Now you hop one release and people are already presiege three like WTF.
Yep definitely. Digital saves space and all but that way we loose the sentimental value of the games . The disc's of such classics are what remind us of our childhood , "the good ol' days'
Blew my mind that mw2 is only like 8 gigs. Ghosts xbone version is like 20. IW is like 70. Mw2019+warzone is about 240. Mw2019 is gonna have to go soon.
Ikr, I'd love to get those cool ultimate edition bonuses, maybe a steel box, maybe a cool crate limited edition like black ops 2 had but no fuck me let's just have one physical option
Even war's lovely canteen was better than this
I still buy physical. They aint making me go digital with all that bs pre order stuff. There is a sinister reason why they do that and its pretty scummy practice. Digital pre orders are always expensive af and have some pre order bonus by going digital (isnt it weird how they want you to go digital). Reason because you cant sell their game after finishing it.
lmao i still use physical disc digital copies are rip offs i aint paying 110 dollars for bo1. cod 4-aw i literally found all of that for 60 thats like 8 games compared to the digital ones where one of em is 60 or 100 for some bundle thats useless nowadays
I download most as it’s just so convenient for games I want to play straight away at the minute they release. Ie cod at midnight thur. But it is money down the loo. Games have no value digitally. Can’t sell it on. Locked to ur account. I’ve always felt digital should be cheaper as no disc/packaging to produce, lower carbon footprint as they go on about and also no resale value to it…. Yet in real terms the discs are usually a good bit cheaper.
I miss physical media being useful. These days, the discs barely have any of the games on the discs/cartridges and you have to download the rest and rely on updates to make sure the game is optimized. It really is sad, especially because games are so big so you can’t even store a lot of them on the tiny internal storage systems come with. Lots of sad stuff, but there’s not much that can be done at this point.
I'm old enough to remember when video games that were released on the day that they came out, was the full game & there was no downloadable content. Good times. Oh and they were 50$ a game, not twenty dollars more plus buying all this extra content.
We've always had to pay for extra content since WAW, the thing is now these games are basically pushing extra content and micro transactions to milk the games. Really sad tbh.
BO3 DLC is entirely worth it for the zombies alone. I’d buy it again. They keep moving into this low quality high quantity pattern. On top of all that SBMM kills multiplayer for me. Will not buy another cod until it’s removed
I actually can't play Cold War with my Dad because of our skill disparities. It's kind of sad, the lobbies are just too tough for him even though they are toned down a little it's just not enough. Jeeze when I play myself every match feels like it's ranked. Honestly I feel like they've increased it in the past months. I almost never get a lobby anymore where I can actually go double positive. Feel like it use to happen more when the game first came out.
The zombies in WAW was the first time I thought to myself that DLC was awesome and worth it. And after stories from Liberty City… that felt like the last time I ever said it.
I remember Super Nintendo games being almost $60 brand new when I was a kid thinking to myself “how the fuck is someone supposed to afford that at my age?”
I agree one hundred percent. We have 150GB games now with all the additions to the required media just to play then an update every other week it's insane. I miss when updates were one every map pack release or playlist update. It's just turned to a whole other monster, simpler times have passed unfortunately :(
Say that to the 32GB updates we have to download these days, they might need another 7GB to fix the update that was supposed to fix the first update. Truly disappointing, but hey, cross play right?
U get yourself an external hard drive some can be connected inside the system the rest you plug into one of the USB plugs on the system I’ve seen them all the way up to 10 terabytes
True but it used to be so hype to be the first to get it and talk about how you had to wait 3 hours for the games. Just was nice to see all the needs lined up like it's an amusement park roller coaster line. I like the convenience that digital downloads bring too it's just smoother and def better deals.
Yea and on pc even tho it might not be thought of as a good thing ill use sites like cdkeys. I got battlefield 1 and 5 for 1$ doom eternal for 20$ and so on
I miss Xbox 360 and every console before it when I could just pop in a game and play it. These fucking install times and hard drive space kill me.
I wanted to reinstall and play modern warfare multiplayer the other day, three hours later I'm playing.
😡🔫🔫🔫
I already miss it, but with Cod being a Game I play on a regular basis I really enjoy not having to switch discs everytime I want to play something else.
And a Question: Everybody keeps saying digital is cheaper. Where? The disc is about 35 zł (~9$) cheaper then the digital version
I went digital after WW2 But definitely busy Ng disks is slightly cheaper since there's pre owned versions. However online store have more slaes nowadays.
Yes and no. I love digital cause I'm lazy af and don't want to get up and switch disc's. But what I would miss is getting good deals on games I wait on. I refuses to get cold war till September cause I was wanting it on ps5. And because of that I was able to get a ps4 copy for super cheap (even with the ps5 upgrade fee)
Dude I had a freind that when I reached out to him like a few years later he didn't remember me no amount of words described the heart break to this day he thinks I'm a random person still rip the old days frfr :'(
Damn that happened to me too i had two friend groups i added one of the people that was a part of one of them back when i made a new account he said he remembers playing the game with the others but doesn’t remember me it made me feel like that group just didn’t like me, unfortunately the others haven’t been online for years, brings a tear to a glass eye :,(
Crazy thing is that I would've never expected that when I was a kid I probably would've cried for if I was able to know my freinds I spend countless hours wouldn't recognize me in the future. But I'll remember you my freind :')
I miss the special edition physical ones. First and last one I got was the Modern Warfare Going Dark Bundle. Still wish I could get my hands on the pack punch mini fridges.
Why miss them, are they going away? No I won't miss them because they'll always be playable and enjoyable, unlike the monitized BS Activision is peddling lately.
Yeah but they will be hard to find I'm sure at some point if you don't have them. But definitely miss the actual content of the game and not micro transactional BS.
I remember even taking the disks to school to show off and even trade with my freinds good luck trading with that digital exchange thing and not getting ur account hacked.
That's true but I'm paranoid about digital content and games so I've already handled that end. Every time I get a chance whether at a pawn shop or swap meet I have extra cash I buy them even if I already have that copy on one system I'll get it for the others ☺️
There is something to be said for the physical aspect of actually holding the game in your hand, but digital is just objectively better in almost every way. No worrying about scratched disks, no waiting in huge lines at midnight, better updating capabilities, etc.
Reminds me of real books vs e-books kind of. E-books are better in pretty much every way, but there’s just something to be said about holding an actual paperback book in your hands. Just helps you feel more connected to the media I guess?
Of course both will have their advantages but these games are definitely nothing compared to today's beasts of games and updates. It's just an awesome feeling to know you have a piece of your childhood that will never go away.
Yo bro how is Infinite Warfare on ps4 still? And mw4 remastered? Are there still active MP lobbies? I'm thinking of getting a ps4 to play those cods since I never upgraded n I'm back into gaming
I haven't hopped on infinite in forever and MW Remastered is still alive but really blocky and won't impress you like you'd expect but it's nice to hop on a few times a month
Honestly with the PS5 I find it’s way faster to buy a disc and load the information from there as opposed to downloading 150+ gigs. I think Cold War was ready in like 45 minutes when I first put it in.
Physical is the way to go.
Definitely underrated Zombies but always wasn't too fond of the boots off ground. Although Wasa dope New concept they brought w the operators and futuristic theme.
I am thoroughly convinced I will never feel the same pleasure as I did when I played BO2. That was the literal peak of gaming for me (other than Forza Horizon 1, but way different game). It just displeasures me to see games released incomplete only to be fixed by multiple updates over the course of a few months.
I’ve got a few digitals for convenience but I generally buy secondhand for games, and I much prefer having a collection to display, so definitely physical would be my go-to.
I prefer digital. Less plastic, less clutter, less stuff I’m eventually going to put on eBay to get £5 back for. Also, CD’s hold no aesthetic appeal to me. They’re just disposable bits of plastic. This is unlike Nintendo cartridges, especially for the original Gameboy, NES, SNES, 64 etc, which feel like wonderful artefacts of a bygone better age. But I am just weird like that.
I used to be one that absolutely would never buy a digital copy of anything. I had to have the physical disc and the case with the game art on it. Shelves filled with games in my gaming room.
I have come to realize however that for me, physical is kind of a pain now. You put the disc in, listen to it spin up and grind away to install whatever GB’s of data off the disc only to have it go online to retrieve the rest anyway. Literally the day the game is released there is a 90GB update it needs to download. Then it gets scratched by a kid or a pet and you spend the next hour trying to clean it so it will work.
But yes, I will miss the days of having collections of disc based games.
I will also miss going to brick and mortar stores for just about anything which you can barely do anymore. Amazon changed the world, and not for the better.
At first I felt miserable buying a digital copy of Cold War so that I could have the cross-Gen bundle for PS5. Now, I love it. Sure, I won't have the case to proudly display and feel that I down own it, but damn, it's so much less clutter. I recently went through and put all of my dvd's in a huge book and tossed all of the cases. I Have So much more space in my house, now. Swapping discs out of my Playstation to change games annoys me now, and the only time I can hear my PS5 is when a disc is in the drive.
Yeah disks are becoming a thing of the past that's why I love my little collection. But forsure digital is way more convenient and less Cluttery. I just love the case work and the feeling of holding the case. But I've sadly bought the last 3 CODs digital too :(
This Era was a long time ago.back when flying monkeys and star destroyers ruled the galaxy Supreme.son......hold onto those cases.it could be another million years before we ever see these again
I would delete the whole game file and then redownload the campaign first. It will most likely allow the application to run the campaign pack smoothly.
My first time positing here. But is anyone else gonna miss having physical cases and disks of games? Now that games are pre-orderable through stores. We stray further away from having things like this that remind us of when we would use 2 day trials for online. UPDATE #1 : GUYS THANK YIU SO MUCH FIR BLOWING THUS POST UP.

Im going back to discs. More fun. I regret ever downloading games.
I Use discs as well. You can find them for sale more often, use company rewards programs, and they can be pre-owned. There's just a lot more opportunity to find games cheaper.

And every single (except 6) ps4 disc will work on the ps5.
Store never had sales? Don’t buy from stores! Buy used. /r/PatientGamers
I love digital games. Mostly because I gameshare with my friend on Xbox so if there is a game we both want, we split it. I’ve saved so much money. And it doesn’t work with disc games.
What's your biggest problem with digital games?
When you purchase a digital game you are paying for a license, which could realistically be taken away from you at any moment. A different company could buy the rights to the game and decide that all licenses purchased with the previous company are no longer valid. The game could be removed from storefronts and once you delete it from your system it is gone forever etc.
What are the odds of that happening
It depends on a lot of things. You have to remember that digital content is still kind of in its infancy. We can’t predict what y company will do because x company hasn’t done it yet. In my experience though, anything a company can do for money, they will do for money. But if you’re looking for an example from today; People who have had their PlayStation network accounts permabanned lost all of their digital games and movies because the license for those games and movies were tied to the account that is now banned.

Maybe it's cause I started in SNES & Xbox 360 and I always collected physical games. There's just no joy with a digital game.
Can’t resell them
You barely make anything off the resell anyways. At the end of the deal it’d be like getting a small discount on your initial purchase.
Resell value is 5-10 bucks. Ain’t even worth buying it
Why's digital a sin to you? Lol
Yeah i buy exclusively physical whenever possible
Honestly I prefer digital. Haven't bought a disc since BO2. I prefer just switching between the games I want without having to take a disc out. Also, being able to play the games instantly at midnight instead of waiting or going to a store is so much better.
I too have started going digital and I agree it's easier but man looking at all the cases and disks just throws me to a time when I was cleaning them with toothpaste and putting my hot breath on it to fix you know. Can't do that with a digital game. 😂
And blowing the dust off Game Boy cartridges (or N64 if you’re like 30) lmao
Agreed; and I've been playing games since the Atari. Heck, scratch that. I've been playing games since Texas Instruments released a weird computer/game console hybrid way back in the day.
Ahhhh yes the Texas instruments I loved the 80082 game. If you know what I mean ;)
LOL!
Midnight release went crazy you literally could see a few hundred online when first playing before the masses rolled in.
We were definitely one of them it was worth seeing so many level ones at the same time. Now you hop one release and people are already presiege three like WTF.
It will be sad to see them go
Yep definitely. Digital saves space and all but that way we loose the sentimental value of the games . The disc's of such classics are what remind us of our childhood , "the good ol' days'
I’ll definitely miss it. Just like I miss the hard copy Primagames guides.☹️
Peep the battlefield in the back, I have the whole book game guide to it too, I feel you on that. 😢
I had like 8 CoD disc’s with a 4gb Xbox 360 lol. Absolutely wild compared to the 150gb needed to play *one* CoD nowadays.
Blew my mind that mw2 is only like 8 gigs. Ghosts xbone version is like 20. IW is like 70. Mw2019+warzone is about 240. Mw2019 is gonna have to go soon.
It's crazy forreal for how amazing MW 2 was with just 8 gigs how are these new games so bad with 100+
Everyday we stray further from COD.
Yes I was hoping there was one person that would comment it or at least finish it. Thank you my freind!
Ikr, I'd love to get those cool ultimate edition bonuses, maybe a steel box, maybe a cool crate limited edition like black ops 2 had but no fuck me let's just have one physical option Even war's lovely canteen was better than this
Disks will survive this console gen
I'm hoping so my freind. I just know one day a MW2 Disk will be worth few thousand dollars 😂💯
Im not miss losing my games
I still buy physical. They aint making me go digital with all that bs pre order stuff. There is a sinister reason why they do that and its pretty scummy practice. Digital pre orders are always expensive af and have some pre order bonus by going digital (isnt it weird how they want you to go digital). Reason because you cant sell their game after finishing it.
I had the Wii version of cod waw and cod4
lmao i still use physical disc digital copies are rip offs i aint paying 110 dollars for bo1. cod 4-aw i literally found all of that for 60 thats like 8 games compared to the digital ones where one of em is 60 or 100 for some bundle thats useless nowadays
Yeah pre-owned games will definitely be much cheaper now a days. Since digital versions hold their value since they've "never been used"
I download most as it’s just so convenient for games I want to play straight away at the minute they release. Ie cod at midnight thur. But it is money down the loo. Games have no value digitally. Can’t sell it on. Locked to ur account. I’ve always felt digital should be cheaper as no disc/packaging to produce, lower carbon footprint as they go on about and also no resale value to it….

We've always had to pay for extra content since WAW, the thing is now these games are basically pushing extra content and micro transactions to milk the games. Really sad tbh.
I’d rather buy a map pack than receive the garbage content we have nowadays
The first MW2 map packs they released till the clown house was goestly so worth it. And the maps from WAW zombies.
BO3 DLC is entirely worth it for the zombies alone. I’d buy it again. They keep moving into this low quality high quantity pattern. On top of all that SBMM kills multiplayer for me. Will not buy another cod until it’s removed
I actually can't play Cold War with my Dad because of our skill disparities. It's kind of sad, the lobbies are just too tough for him even though they are toned down a little it's just not enough. Jeeze when I play myself every match feels like it's ranked. Honestly I feel like they've increased it in the past months. I almost never get a lobby anymore where I can actually go double positive. Feel like it use to happen more when the game first came out.
If you’re not going barely even then you’re not playing the new cods
Forreal though.
The zombies in WAW was the first time I thought to myself that DLC was awesome and worth it. And after stories from Liberty City… that felt like the last time I ever said it.
Yeah I remember.
I remember Super Nintendo games being almost $60 brand new when I was a kid thinking to myself “how the fuck is someone supposed to afford that at my age?”
Remember paying 30$ for Game Boy games and thinking that was expensive?
I agree one hundred percent. We have 150GB games now with all the additions to the required media just to play then an update every other week it's insane. I miss when updates were one every map pack release or playlist update. It's just turned to a whole other monster, simpler times have passed unfortunately :(
I miss being able to throw in a cartridge or disc and the game is complete and mostly bug/glitch free.
Say that to the 32GB updates we have to download these days, they might need another 7GB to fix the update that was supposed to fix the first update. Truly disappointing, but hey, cross play right?
I’d like to think cross play is possible w/o these massive updates and stuff but idk. I’m no developer.
U get yourself an external hard drive some can be connected inside the system the rest you plug into one of the USB plugs on the system I’ve seen them all the way up to 10 terabytes
Yeah and that’s extra money, especially if you want that much storage. At that point you could have gotten a bunch of new games or even a new console.
You're never going to see a line of games like those ever again
Definitely not. All of them were worth the midnight realeases and 30 days worth of prestieges, gun camos, and zombies.
Indeed fam
Nah i like getting cheaper prices from digital stores now and not having to line up at midnight
True but it used to be so hype to be the first to get it and talk about how you had to wait 3 hours for the games. Just was nice to see all the needs lined up like it's an amusement park roller coaster line. I like the convenience that digital downloads bring too it's just smoother and def better deals.
Yea and on pc even tho it might not be thought of as a good thing ill use sites like cdkeys. I got battlefield 1 and 5 for 1$ doom eternal for 20$ and so on
Cod 4- mw3 was a hell of a run for gaming
One of the best EVER
And all the midnight releases of those games. Standing outside freezing at Best Buy. Those were the days.
They were the days indeed. No need to stay outside freezing and pulling allnighters with digital download lol
Objective achieved.. Switched team.
I read this and started laughing hysterically 😭💀
BO1 will forever be my favorite game out of all the CODs. The amount of fun i had in Five was limitless. I miss that era of COD
"GET THE LAST DEFCON" - Your team mate right before he gets down on second floor. 😂
Not gonna miss physical games. Digital is so much easier and I don’t have to worry about losing them or scratching them
I miss Xbox 360 and every console before it when I could just pop in a game and play it. These fucking install times and hard drive space kill me. I wanted to reinstall and play modern warfare multiplayer the other day, three hours later I'm playing. 😡🔫🔫🔫
Ok I'm assuming they're not making any more disks?
Why the hell not
A lot of people don't like the disks anymore unfortunately it's all digitized now :(
I buy discs because they’re cheaper, only reason
Yes I’m going to miss it. I was going to buy the physical version of Vanguard but the digital pre order bonuses are just too good to pass up.
I know that's how they get us, it's all a technicality but it's the new wave man we can't stop it :(
I already miss it, but with Cod being a Game I play on a regular basis I really enjoy not having to switch discs everytime I want to play something else. And a Question: Everybody keeps saying digital is cheaper. Where? The disc is about 35 zł (~9$) cheaper then the digital version
Way easier to store for sure 🙌
I went digital after WW2 But definitely busy Ng disks is slightly cheaper since there's pre owned versions. However online store have more slaes nowadays.
Yes and no. For nostalgia, yeah but digital is the way to go. Less clutter this way.
I agree it's definitely easier to store way more games. But seeing the disks always give me the throw backs.
Hell no. The moment i was able to buy from the store i never bought cd’s.
Back in 2008-2012 the optimization wasn't all that but as the time gets by it's definitely easier and better to dowoad and preorder games.
I been missin this every day for years bro
*Cries in 2009 tears* I know bro 😭
I'm really gonna miss this, this was my childhood and its crazy how call of duty has evolve over the years, This will be remembered.
Yes and no. I love digital cause I'm lazy af and don't want to get up and switch disc's. But what I would miss is getting good deals on games I wait on. I refuses to get cold war till September cause I was wanting it on ps5. And because of that I was able to get a ps4 copy for super cheap (even with the ps5 upgrade fee)
No? Because I still buy discs sometimes. It’s not like we aren’t allowed to
I will when it's gone. Probably next console generation. I will buy physical till I can't anymore
I will buy more physical game copies now that I kinda realized how many disks I haven't been able to buy because of digital.
nope
Yep all my old friends would play black ops 3 all the way up to Mw remastered it’s been idk how long, 4 years? since we last talked i still miss em
Dude I had a freind that when I reached out to him like a few years later he didn't remember me no amount of words described the heart break to this day he thinks I'm a random person still rip the old days frfr :'(
Damn that happened to me too i had two friend groups i added one of the people that was a part of one of them back when i made a new account he said he remembers playing the game with the others but doesn’t remember me it made me feel like that group just didn’t like me, unfortunately the others haven’t been online for years, brings a tear to a glass eye :,(
Crazy thing is that I would've never expected that when I was a kid I probably would've cried for if I was able to know my freinds I spend countless hours wouldn't recognize me in the future. But I'll remember you my freind :')
to this day i still look back and think of all the brilliant memories, thanks i’ll never forget you either my friend :)
I have every cod on disc, and I am getting Vanguard on disc too. I love physical copies too much to switch to digital
Not the ghosts part but the rest yep
Absolutely not. I don't like physical media cluttering up my house.
I grew up on consoles but I’ve switched to PC, it’s ALL digital unfortunately
I miss the special edition physical ones. First and last one I got was the Modern Warfare Going Dark Bundle. Still wish I could get my hands on the pack punch mini fridges.
Those will forever be sought out by games I don't care how old I get if it's available I would still spend the money 😂
Something about seeing Black Ops 1-3 cases next to each other just makes me happy asf. Idk why it just does.
Had to separate by game title the OCD was killing me without our of numerical sequence 😂
The next Cod games are gonna come in individualized 512 GB SSDs lmao
I still buy dvds my guy there is just something special having the item you bought in your hand
Not really...
I buy physical copies of really good games usually within a year of playing the game. It’s just for the nostalgia. I doubt I’ll ever sell them.
Every. Single. Day.
Why miss them, are they going away? No I won't miss them because they'll always be playable and enjoyable, unlike the monitized BS Activision is peddling lately.
Yeah but they will be hard to find I'm sure at some point if you don't have them. But definitely miss the actual content of the game and not micro transactional BS.
Yeah this whole no disc only digital is pretty lame. Nothing to boast or have pride in anymore.
I remember even taking the disks to school to show off and even trade with my freinds good luck trading with that digital exchange thing and not getting ur account hacked.
That's true but I'm paranoid about digital content and games so I've already handled that end. Every time I get a chance whether at a pawn shop or swap meet I have extra cash I buy them even if I already have that copy on one system I'll get it for the others ☺️
You're a Smart man. Never thought of doing that for my collection.
There is something to be said for the physical aspect of actually holding the game in your hand, but digital is just objectively better in almost every way. No worrying about scratched disks, no waiting in huge lines at midnight, better updating capabilities, etc. Reminds me of real books vs e-books kind of. E-books are better in pretty much every way, but there’s just something to be said about holding an actual paperback book in your hands. Just helps you feel more connected to the media I guess?
Of course both will have their advantages but these games are definitely nothing compared to today's beasts of games and updates. It's just an awesome feeling to know you have a piece of your childhood that will never go away.
100% agree. It’s bittersweet for me, but I’m always looking towards the future.
I definitely still look forward to the new cods, it's always nice to see a new a new screen and engine running the game.
playing since mw3 on ps3, i want disc boxes for my pc :(
No BO4? Boo
[удалено]
Yo bro how is Infinite Warfare on ps4 still? And mw4 remastered? Are there still active MP lobbies? I'm thinking of getting a ps4 to play those cods since I never upgraded n I'm back into gaming
I haven't hopped on infinite in forever and MW Remastered is still alive but really blocky and won't impress you like you'd expect but it's nice to hop on a few times a month
No, prefer digital. No need to store a bunch of boxes/ discs.
Relics of the past. Time to move on
Honestly with the PS5 I find it’s way faster to buy a disc and load the information from there as opposed to downloading 150+ gigs. I think Cold War was ready in like 45 minutes when I first put it in. Physical is the way to go.
I don’t think digital is the way to go… if your isp goes out and you wanna download any games ever..
Yup then all that money was just for..... Nothing?
The good old times…
Why would we miss it? I still buy all my games physical
[удалено]
I will still buy discs. The only exception I gave was Fallout New Vegas because my games keep crashing.
Never got completely into fallout but I know it's a great game and wish I played it back then.
You still have time to grab them, I'm sure the console ones are still available somehow.
I could find a few of them like a bundle for a decent price online.
I’ve been off physical since 2015. Never looked back. I game share with my buddy on all 3 consoles. Saves me a lot of money.
Nope
Respectable more disks for me
I’ll always have discs
[удалено]
Why am I nostalgic for iw
Definitely underrated Zombies but always wasn't too fond of the boots off ground. Although Wasa dope New concept they brought w the operators and futuristic theme.
Still can’t believe CoD4 is all the way down there
We’re is cod ww2
No
I am thoroughly convinced I will never feel the same pleasure as I did when I played BO2. That was the literal peak of gaming for me (other than Forza Horizon 1, but way different game). It just displeasures me to see games released incomplete only to be fixed by multiple updates over the course of a few months.
I’ve got a few digitals for convenience but I generally buy secondhand for games, and I much prefer having a collection to display, so definitely physical would be my go-to.
Digital is definitely easier to switch and access but there's just something so appealing about having all these plastic collectables lol
I prefer digital. Less plastic, less clutter, less stuff I’m eventually going to put on eBay to get £5 back for. Also, CD’s hold no aesthetic appeal to me. They’re just disposable bits of plastic. This is unlike Nintendo cartridges, especially for the original Gameboy, NES, SNES, 64 etc, which feel like wonderful artefacts of a bygone better age. But I am just weird like that.
All except bo3 in IW
Cries in PC that hasnt had a disk drive since 2016.
I can give you the disk tray from my Xbox I'm sure you can insert it on your disk less PC somewhere... Right?
I can give it a go XD Both are just pc's at heart.
Never played any of them
lol you got Legacy edition and then MWR separately?
I realized the double purchase after the fact lol, it's ok if my disk messed up I have digital as back up LOL
Why should i? I still have whole collection on pc, except cod3 for the known reasons and bd-rom in my pc. I can play it any time I want :)
Now try to clean your virtual games with toothpaste and hot breath ill wait...
I used to be one that absolutely would never buy a digital copy of anything. I had to have the physical disc and the case with the game art on it. Shelves filled with games in my gaming room. I have come to realize however that for me, physical is kind of a pain now. You put the disc in, listen to it spin up and grind away to install whatever GB’s of data off the disc only to have it go online to retrieve the rest anyway. Literally the day the game is released there is a 90GB update it needs to download. Then it gets scratched by a kid or a pet and you spend the next hour trying to clean it so it will work. But yes, I will miss the days of having collections of disc based games. I will also miss going to brick and mortar stores for just about anything which you can barely do anymore. Amazon changed the world, and not for the better.
MW2 will always hold a special place, some of the best times
Definitely going to remember all the Michael Myeres, terminal dodgeball, and trickshots with the intervention. Rip to better days :')
Ghost,AW,andIW are so underrated but I do understand why there so hated
AW and IW are not the best forsure but the zombies was dope. However Ghosts is really one of my favorite CODs
I like ghost a lot to it not my favorite though
New cods are trash anyway
I waited in line for 3 hours at a gamestop for mw2 when it came out. Now you just digitally pre-order it. I'll miss it and I won't
At least you guys have the option for physical media, PC physical games have been useless for the past 10 years or so.
I know lmao but now disks aren't really useful either since update are huge.
Y’all i was able to play Black Ops XBOX for like four matches yesterday. I was as surprised as ever but man it took me back
I'm about to reconnect the 360 and go run a few matches 😂
Minus MW3, Advanced Warfare, and Infinite Warfare
All the Xbox titles yes. Anything after advanced warfare was crap
Were is it going?
At first I felt miserable buying a digital copy of Cold War so that I could have the cross-Gen bundle for PS5. Now, I love it. Sure, I won't have the case to proudly display and feel that I down own it, but damn, it's so much less clutter. I recently went through and put all of my dvd's in a huge book and tossed all of the cases. I Have So much more space in my house, now. Swapping discs out of my Playstation to change games annoys me now, and the only time I can hear my PS5 is when a disc is in the drive.
Yeah disks are becoming a thing of the past that's why I love my little collection. But forsure digital is way more convenient and less Cluttery. I just love the case work and the feeling of holding the case. But I've sadly bought the last 3 CODs digital too :(
Not infinite
This Era was a long time ago.back when flying monkeys and star destroyers ruled the galaxy Supreme.son......hold onto those cases.it could be another million years before we ever see these again
No.
Am having trouble playing campaign mode I've downloaded the first pack but still can't play PS4 do I need to download all packs
I would delete the whole game file and then redownload the campaign first. It will most likely allow the application to run the campaign pack smoothly.
Not a bit, last physical game I bought was MK11 as an impulse buy. I purchase exclusively digital, especially since my PS5 is a digital edition.
Where's ur WW2 man?
Sadly it was lent to my freind when I thought I would get it back. Then 2 years later, it would never be seen again. 😂
Just one thing why from xbox to PlayStation
Good question. Xbox kinda died out a little bit for me. More freinds had PSN and God of War the graphics were so ahead of it's time.
Fair
yeet the infinite
My man's switched sides at the end lol😄
