Wow. My comment is longer than your blog.
The problem is that, the thing that is supposed to be a game manual is a folded piece of paper with no pages telling about the "more convenient" in-game manual which isn't convenient for me in the slightest. Maybe it's "convenient" for Ubi-soft, but not the consumer who expects a manual when they buy a retail box.
It's a waste of time and money printing manuals now because barely anyone reads them. I could still see the case for artbooks and mini-comics being included though.
I've not read a single comment on this topic to keep manuals that wasn't solely based on nostalgia. I say it's time to move with the times.
They took away something gamers find special to save them selves a buck or two. It's a really shitty thing they've done.
Ubisofts have their reason for doing it (saving money) and I have my reasons for supporting it.
Don't get me wrong. I used to love reading manuals on the way home from town when I was a kid. The problem for me is that I spent the last 12 years working as a printer and I know damn well how shitty the chemicals used are for the environment. That's my reason for supporting it.
I do think special editions shops still have an art book.
To clarify I support my own reasons for this, not ubisofts. I may shed a nostalgic tear if everyone follows suit but I feel it's for the best.
You win.
Also, I love what you've done with using so few words to say so much.
When's the last time you've played a game that really needed one? Assassin's Creed definitely doesn't need one. They explain everything in-game.
You can relax. Video games aren't over because they aren't giving you 20 sheets of worthless paper. Save some fucking trees.
Furries or furies? I haven't seen any animal porn in here...
Anyway, the reason I hate companies doing this is because the way a lot of this paper is handled, they're not actually destroying any forests or anything like that. A friend of mine works for Xpedx, and she knows a whole lot about paper management and what's wasteful. She fully supports regular-sized manuals in games, so I've got to side with her here. I need to ask her exactly what that was about, again...
You should have realized you did NOT buy a Capcom Game.
(( Hands Down the Best Instruction Manuals in THE GALAXY! ))
Also,
I almost NEVER read them anyways. Only if i'm bored. Real Bored...
Also, Also,
Thanks for blogging about your crappy day Neonie.
You brought out some of the Original Lurkers.
