Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (PC, PS3, 360)

[No One]

Not 20 hours. Dead Space 2 had its disc switch like 5 hours in. Mass Effect 2 also had me going to disc 1 for some subquests. Forza 3's install disc and day one DLC was a mess.

It's just something that need not exist. As an example, there's another platform which can put the full game on one disc. That is just objectively better.

Mass Effect 3's disc swapping was absolutely ridiculous on 360. That was some 80s PC game shit.

[Mzo]

Yeah, ME3 was at some weird fucking times, even compared to 2. Kind of hated it.

I should've switched 2 and 3 to the PS3, seeing how my fucking character couldn't even be imported. Had to try and replicate the look by hand. Boo-urns.

It's the physical releases that cause the PSN/XBOD releases to be so expensive, because fucking GameStop would lose its shit if it got undercut. Physical PC games are all but dead, and obviously there are no iOS ones.

No. I don't for a second believe that retail is the reason. And if retail didn't exist ms and Sony would suddenly become benevolent. I'm pretty sure they'd be just like EA is with origins and charge more just because they can. Look at nintendos current statements about digital content. They see no reason that digital should cost less than msrp. They're greedy and will try to milk every penny they can. It is in no way retails fault. They're just using that as an excuse to keep costs high

MGS4 needed multiple discs. That game was the worst at pretending it was only one disc.

I would've lost so many character tidbits, not worth it. Maybe starting over with ME1 on the PC, though I wish it had controller support.

EA has had lots of 50% off sales on Origin. They're just fucking hypocrites when they talk about Steam. So it could be retail, or it could be the console makers, or it could be some of each.

I can't wait to get more information about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2!

[EvilMog]

I stand corrected. Mass 3 had queer disc swapping. Besides that I don't care.

And more lords 2 please.

MGS4 used King's Quest 8 compression technology.

[Korly]

Fuck Sony and Microsoft for charging retail prices.

On that note, Xbox 360 Games on Demand sale next week!

EDIT: That cut n paste job didn't format very well at all. Just go look at it on Major Nelsons Site.

DOUBLE EDIT: I am ALL OVER Dark Void and Bionic Commando for 5 bucks each. PoP for only 4 bucks is amazing, but I have the disc version.

[Joust Williams]

Some of those aren't bad

Won't get anything though
