Physical “releases” with nothing but a code are the ultimate insult.

Indeed. I mean on the one hand, as someone who lives abroad and simply couldn´t (nor wouldn´t want to, for a number of reasons) carry his entire inventory of physical discs with him, I am grateful for digital distribution. It´s an absolute lifesaver.

Sadly, digital releases lack any and all of the charm that came with the physical ones (oh how I long for the unique slideshows/videos/music that used to play during installation) and comes with the drawback of constantly risking delisting or downgrades due to licensing issues and remake/remaster releases (or just because), not to mention DRM and the always-online bullshit. At least GOG (and certain publisher platforms such as Matrix/Slitherine) allows for downloading and backing up the executables, but that really should become the norm rather than the exception (I wish, anyways :cry: ).

Even if you buy physical, you need to apply patches, given the state of the games released nowadays. So we don’t have really much of a choice.

My Pokemon Soulsilver works fine without patches. I think I’ll manage.

I mean if at first you don’t succeed, right?

Also the McLaren Senna is my favourite Marvel character.

Just remember in the original Gen 4 games they stated that at one point Pokemon and Humans married.

Did you know?
The A Quiet Place video game came out today…

There has been zero news publications of reviews for this title yet, only via Steam and various game forums so far.

Seems the marketing was also extremely quiet… weird.

IDK if its any good, but they do have a “IRL microphone feature” just like Alien: Isolation, where any sound YOU make will get picked up as an alert by the game.
