Fanboys & Multiple Discs
Trace Bullet | 10:38 AM on 07.15.2008 10 comments


I've noticed a recent trend in stupidity whenever someone suggests that a PS3 game should get a 360 port, especially with MGS4 or the recent announcement of FF13:

"OMG u hav 2 swtch dsks evry 5 sec LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!11"

If you know someone who acts like this, kindly tell them to "shove it". You're not being witty or funny; it just makes you look like an ignorant ass. Multiple discs didn't bother people for the last couple generations, so why do people suddenly think it is a point of contention now? Hell, Lost Odyssey had four discs with 8 hours each and it didn't bother me.

As a side note: I want a PS3, but I'm holding out until more games get released for it. Disgaea 3, Valkyrie of the Battlefield & White Knight Chronicles to name a few.

Disc swapping vs. installs.

That's the big argument between fanboys, right?

Once 360 fanboys stop to make fun about installs, PS3 fanboys will stop to make fun about disc sizes.

Easy, right?

I feel like I've read this argument 87 times in the past two days.

I like video games...this is pointless.

60 seconds of physical movement over the course of an 8 hour gaming session is abhorrent. I for one will not stand for it and look longingly towards the day when the human body is not required to move, ever, during waking hours.

did anyone mention installs yet?

Agreeing with DTOMEK.

Installs are worse. I've played Lost Odyssey and MGS4, love them both, but those damn MGS4 installs annoyed the poo out of me. Especially the part where you start a new game so you can check out the interesting TV channels at the beginning of MGS4 only to realize you will have to go through 2 installs for 2 mins of movie.

Disc swaps do kind of maul the sense of immersion y'know.

Whilst it's hardly a major thing, you'd rather not have them than have them, surely?

The point is we're supposed to have progressed beyond this...last time I swapped discs was for final fantasy nine!
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
I don't care either way. 360 will have the option of loading your games onto it's hard drive for faster load times, so it looks like either way you'll be able to choose which you want to do on it.
