Video Game General 6.3: Sekiro has so many damn chickens man. Chickens Everywhere!

Wait what lol?

Day 1 patches are how the game is supposed to be at release in the eyes of the devs. What you get on disc is whatever code they had ready in time for submission to Sony/MS and then disc pressing. Those two steps usually take more than a month, so even then, the devs are still working on the game even if it’s been submitted and gone gold.

They aren’t going to leave those people in the dark and sell them 1/2 a game for $60 that they can’t even play.

@purbeast It was this quote that my post references your optimism.

But what games are released WITHOUT the game?

[GPK]

Mass Effect: Andromeda, Battlefield 1, State of Decay 2, Wolfenstein and I believe MvC:I. They had “Collectors Editions” with all kinds of merchandise but no games.

[Sonicabid]

@GPK Wolf II’s CE comes with the game. The funky EU psuedo LE comes with the game too.

I highly doubt that is the case. You are forgetting that there are millions of people who don’t even have broadband or put their consoles online. They aren’t going to leave those people in the dark and sell them 1/2 a game for $60 that they can’t even play. Plus I’m sure you aren’t going to get half way through a 60+ hour game the first night you play the game.

…It’s been said multiple times that RDR and CoD need 50GB+ day 1 patches to even boot the game. Spyro Trilogy was looking to be that way too before the daily, which may or may not change when it gets released.

How do you own a Switch and are not familiar with this practice? Go buy Wolfenstein II for the Switch and let me know if you can boot the game up without being forced to download 1/2 of the game that isn’t on the cart. DIGITAL FUTURE.

90-95% games can boot up on day 1 without patches on PS4, but there are exceptions like these. In the case of RDR/CoD they don’t want to pay pennies to print an extra install disc to bundle in with each version so they force you to download 50GB day 1 patches. In the case of the Switch Nintendo made larger cart sizes so fucking expensive that 3rd-party developers will opt to slap 1/2 the game on the cart with another 1/2 you have to download. See: Wolfenstein II and a bunch of other games, or Bayonetta II where the sequel comes on a fucking download voucher.

[GPK]

It was Wolfenstein I, the Panzerhund Edition. Did Bethesda get enough shit for it, and include the game? I never saw anything like this for Wolf II.

Bayonetta 2 release. It’s Bayonetta 2 on cart and the first Bayonetta as a dl voucher. Only the Japan release has both Bayonettas on separate carts.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

All of Bayonetta 2 is on the cart. Bayonetta 1 is the voucher game.

it bugs me so many people in usa are still on dial up. shit is uncivilized. not blaming them, blaming Congress for not moving their ass about updating the wiring across the country like how japan and germany governments did.

Don’t blame Congress. Local and State Legislators have control over high-speed internet integration.

[Sonicabid]

An indie game I can get behind:

it looks awesome.

It was Wolfenstein I, the Panzerhund Edition.

My bad on having the voucher Bayonetta’s mixed up. Still, point still stands that only 1/2 of the physical game is there.

You’re right on the Wolf 1 CE

I completely forgot this existed and I own Wolf: TNO on PS3, PS4 and PC.

I was thinking about this sexy-ass release of the game:

^ GODDAMN do I want that badly. Speaking of PAL-only releases their version of Fist of the North Star came with a nice little cardboard box with a holofoil cover. Ours was a regular release with some stickers that are sitting behind the slipcover of the game. It seemed like a last minute change or something with how strangely packaged FOTNS was I found.

thanks for correcting me. ignorance is not bliss. noted.

damn local/state legislators! pox on thee

[delete_me]

If the game’s worth it to you, it’s easier than ever to just import from anywhere in the world. Amazon ships worldwide, play-asia usually has three version of any game in their portfolio (EU, US, JAP) etc.

I have never had this issue with Switch and own like 10 games, 7 of them physical.

So what happens if you put these games in your console and take it offline?

[purbeast]

Mass Effect: Andromeda, Battlefield 1, State of Decay 2, Wolfenstein and I believe MvC:I. They had “Collectors Editions” with all kinds of merchandise but no games.

Oh so they come with a DLC code? That’s still different IMO since you can still easily get the full game in physical format if you want. Battlefield 1 was an online only game too wasn’t it? I mean if you’re talking about an online only game and want to play it without an internet connection, then you deserve to be got for $60.

I haven’t paid attention to CE’s in like a decade though so I didn’t realize that is a practice now. That is really stupid though and I’m glad I haven’t wasted any money on CE’s. With like 10 different “CE” versions now a days and all of these season passes, I’ve opted to speak with my wallet and buy nothing but just the games, and always in physical format if possible.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

I don’t agree, all of Bayonetta 2 is on the cart, Bayonetta 1 is a nice bonus for buying brand new. Even on WiiU it came on it’s own disc, wasn’t both Bayonetta 1&2 on the same disc.

[Darc_Requiem]

Bayonetta 1 and 2 were on separate discs for Wii U.
