Physical Purchases. Remember Those?


Posted on 10/14/2020 at 06:46 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I remember the idea presented at the beginning of the internet age. They said there would be no more need for paper printouts of anything. Apparently, people print more paper documents than ever. It's seems to have increased its use. They also said all business would be done by video conference calls. Turns out, people want to make important deals in person. Also, travel. They said vitual video of holiday spots would reduce travel. It's done the opposite. Go figure.  

But games could go the way music has, where it's mostly digital now except for those into retro vinyl and premium CD box sets. I never buy digital music though. It takes the whole fun out of it for me. Games though. I like digital so I can try out stuff, but when I really love a game, I want a copy for my library. 

I was just asking a Gamestop salesman if Journey to the Savage Planet has a physical version because I think it might end up being my GotY for 2020. It does, and came out six months after the digital version I've been playing. I'm hoping it wins my personal GotY because I want to own the disc.

I feel like people must be divided on this issue because both MS and Sony are putting out two consoles, one with disc drive, the other not. 

For me, I've really gotten into digital games, but I've decided to keep, or get, physical copies of the GotY games for my library.

Yeah, you're right. The one I have plays just fine (that's the plain one and it reminds me of Sega Master System game box art. I'm going to have to dig a little deeper, but these two were the only things that came up in searches on ebay for that game.

I remember turning my nose up at MMOs when Warcraft went MMO. I kind of want to find one I like now. I've tried a few but none have stuck.

I got Okamiden day-one that year. I still have it too. I, um, haven't finished it though. Frown

I was wondering about Dragon Quest VI when it came up on the 2011 wiki list. I didn't put it on my list because I figured it was already out in the US earlier. Now I know it was the first time in the US, it goes on my list for sure.

pubescent humility kind of sounds creepy to me now. You win some, you lose some. 

Check it out!

I should just stick to Game Pass, but there's always a few titles I really want for the permanent collection. I was looking today for certain titles' physical copies, but I think some publisheres don't even bother with that anymore.

NIce, I like Death From Above 1979. Makes me thing of Queens of the Stone Age a bit, a band I really like.
