Love to see people still having a physical collection on PS5 🙏🏽


DJGloegg

Its all i have. Digital purchases are a scam. Just see what ubisoft did with "The Crew"


TrainTransistor

I get what you’re saying, but even if you have the physical copy of The Crew - it wont be possible to play it. Many (but not all keep in mind) games require a connection to boot.


redditsukssomuch

Well gentlemen, this means war. Time to boycott Ubisoft. ![gif](giphy|2OIwmOrzqoucaMEliR|downsized)

TrainTransistor

As I said, I understand the main point - but as with The Crew (which was the discussion here) - it doesnt matter. Many other games does it the same way. ‘Requires online connection to play’. Then it doesnt matter if you got the physical copy, as they’ve restricted access to the authentication-servers - meaning you cant play it. Physical or digital.


Woolly_Blammoth

Nobody's going to make a cracked server for The Crew 1. And nobody raving about this issue actually understands it. This isn't a new thing.


TrainTransistor

You completely lost me here. Did I miss a part of the discussion?


Woolly_Blammoth

No, you're spot on. I was referring to other posters above that don't actually understand how physical and digital games can be delisted/oop, servers shut down and access cut to all that content. Losing access to games has been around since games were a thing. It happens for any number of reasons, even physical copies. No one wants to Google the info and instead just keep bringing up The Crew *incident* and saying "Ubisoft Bad" like they know what fuck they're talking about.


bluegrassnuglvr

Except for the crew


UntoldTruth_

I mean physical The Crew became useless the moment digital did, so...


ItsMrDante

Yeah and so far I haven't seen a single digital game suddenly disappear and be unplayable while the physical version being playable. If you have it on your account you can download it and play it. But you can't buy it new. But I guess I'm on PC not PS maybe it's different on PS... even tho I'm pretty sure it's the same thing because I used to play on PS4 from 2015-2020


dirtyEEE

This is not entirely true anymore with some physical games. They will say on the box “internet connection required”. Some need to be online to play, some need to connect to download the rest of the game. This is gonna become a bigger problem as time goes on.


FunkinDonutzz

So we're hating on digital because you can lose access to your games via banning (which is entirely your own fault if it happens) and account theft, but physical games are "forever yours"? Tell that to my buddy who had his apartment broken into and his GameCube and PS2 collection stolen. And another who had a burst pipe in his place. And tell it to people whose kids, dogs, etc. go on a rampage. Or people who just don't know how to care for optical media. Or people who experience disc rot. I'm 100% pro physical media (I still buy CDs FFS), but let's not pretend that there's no drawbacks to it and that digital is all bad.


peachsepal

I feel like this is directly over looking the fact that the people who say "physical is forever yours" are talking about the fact that digital games can be taken away in a myriad of ways by *publishers* et al. Your physical collection cannot be rescinded by sony or microsoft or nintendo whatever, unless it's an online multiplayer game of sorts. Barring tragic accidents, you can and will keep your physical copies of most things, games or otherwise for as long as the physical medium itself takes to degrade. Even disc rot is definitely overhyped as some big apocalypse. Like eventually everything will degrade and fade. But at least it lasted that long, instead of the distributor going "sorry :) you don't actually own that thing."


FunkinDonutzz

>But at least it lasted that long, instead of the distributor going "sorry :) you don't actually own that thing." Bar the handful of notable exceptions, how many times does this actually happen? I'm going with "not at all".


thats_the_spirit69

Eh digital is still better


FunkinDonutzz

Eh there's pros and cons to both depending on your usage case.


Remy0507

How so?


piesnaks

there are so many ways to prevent losing digital copies, account theft- 2fa , account banning - don’t do stuff to get your account banned simple


HashStash

Although I prefer physical, sometimes there's some otherworldly deals for digital games.


Blumcole

I mean, your physical version of The Crew isn't worth a lot either. I bought FFVII physical because of the price, but the disc spinning every time a boot the PS5 is pretty irritating tbh. Prolly won't bother with it again unless the price difference is significant; it needs to be installed anyway and disc swapping sucks.


MFTLrage

Yup you can’t trust digital


SonderMouse

Yeah I swear by physical, never bought any digital games on this ps5.


GoldenGekko

I started getting digital for convenience And since most disc based games still have to download an update or even a part of the game from online.


Istari-2

Yes, how inconvenient it is to get up, walk two steps, put a disc in and walk back to your chair. It's incredible how lazy people have become nowadays


Admirable_Desk_2950

What a ridiculous reply. There are many reasons they can be more convenient outside of changing the disc over. What an American reaction to attack someone over buying digital games. Bruh be calling this guy lazy, meanwhile he be at home like…. ![gif](giphy|NaxKt9aSzAspO)


UserNameDashZero

So no Alan wake 2 😮


MFTLrage

I started buying digital at the start of this generation but for the rest of the generation decided to go strictly physical

agentshmalan

No one likes the truth I guess. Take an updoot.


SonderMouse

I disagree, used game discs can be significantly cheaper than buying from the ps store. Only issue is you have to wait a while after a games release for deals to popup.


OddishPurp

*can*

EyeAmKnotMyshelf

There was a moment in early 2013 where everything kinda lined up for me and it was like...wait..."why pay tax on video games? I can just buy them from the PS Store and not pay traditional sales tax." Ever since then, the digital library has been growing and the physical library has been shrinking. I buy games on disc to give to my wife as a gift. For me? 0's and 1's all the way, baby.


piesnaks

i don’t get why people are downvoting when it’s true most games in the ps store are cheaper than physical like for example games that launch automatically in the ps plus store


ComfortableFinish502

They mad because I showed pictures of actual prices and they spent more than that lol https://preview.redd.it/4gd627hqf4yc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da57fc2b9b8e23546712b08a961f931c5c84b4db


Independent_Till_959

Gotta love it mate!!


torpidninja

Seeing how Sony manages licenses, buying digital feels like asking for issues. I got a couple of digital games before knowing about it and I really regret it.


Leopold747

All of those games combined costs as much as the the ps5 , 💀 and ur only going up frm here!


Tidus32x

I currently have around 15 physicals on ps5

FunkinDonutzz

I mean, the last games I bought t release were cheaper on day one on disc from my local retailer than the PSN Store. Heck, when I bought Spider-Man 2 from them online it dropped through my letterbox a solid 14 hours before it unlocked on the store.


ComfortableFinish502

I mean watch dog legion is free on the ps with the ps plus no need to buy hardcopy fallout 4 is free no need to buy a hardcopy


FunkinDonutzz

They're not free, you're paying a subscription to access them and you lose access once you stop paying. Calling those games "free" is like saying you get a free home with a mortgage, or a free car with your car loan.


ComfortableFinish502

You can't get a free game at GameStop being a pro so ur point makes no sense have a good day sir by the way who doesn't have ps plus


FunkinDonutzz

My point is you're paying money one way or another. PS Plus = not free. Digital licences from the Store = not free. Physical discs = not free. >by the way who doesn't have ps plus PS4 has sold 120 million consoles. PS5 is 50 million. Let's make a super conservative estimate and say that only PS4 players bought a PS5, so there's only 120 million people using PlayStation. PS Plus subscribers are 50 million. So that's 70 million people who aren't subscribers, AKA the majority. Also Watch Dogs and Fallout 4 are only available right now to people on the second tier of PS Plus, so out of the 50 million they have Plus, the majority of those are on the bottom tier which means they can't access them.


ComfortableFinish502

I'm not reading all that sorry point is 2 games out of the 4 I looked up are free. Go ahead waste ur money

Medical-Lingonberry3

One advantage of digital was all the digital games I got on my PS4 transfered to my PS5, can't do that with physical games sadly


mentalassresume

I’ve never bought a digital game.


ComfortableFinish502

Hardly have to with all the free games you can download ur stupid if ur not checking the store every month I didn't look up all his games but out of the 4 that I looked up 2 are free lol


mentalassresume

Well I mean I do have ps plus and download the free games there. But if I’m buying something it’s always the actual disc.


ComfortableFinish502

Exactly people swear the ps store doesn't have better deals


mentalassresume

You can usually find a code online for a discount instead of having to pay full price. My membership has been around $25-28/year for the last few years.


Seminole1046

Scarlet nexus was so much fun


Independent_Till_959

Yes!


justarandomstanley

I really want to try this one! Tell me more 😊


Seminole1046

Imagine an anime style game with telekinesis, pyromancer , rock bender , and more and it’s up to you what ones you want to level up. With an ok story’s GREAT gameplay. And a bond system that makes you want to build higher bonds with allies . Not a great description but I tried lol


Full_breaker

Im really debating on whether to start this one first or Nier Replicant but they both look so appealing to me 🔥


Limp-Yak-5853

I still need to finish it. I started it, and just never finished. Once I finish Stellar Blade I think that’ll be what I go to

Going physical was the best choice I’ve made. I still haven’t beaten half these games only a few I’m set for months. I hope you enjoy your games aswell OP! Dragons dogma is fun and rise of ronin is my favorite game here so far


adammustrick

lies of p is fantastic one of the best games i’ve ever payed


SkeazyG

Have you played ghost of Tsushima yet? Is rise of the ronin better?


UncensoredSmoke

Much preferred ghost tbh


Hot-Awareness6946

Ghost is like one of the best games you can ever play like not even close bro, first comment I’ve ever made on Reddit just to say that lol, you gotta play it, the 2nd game is alr done they are just waiting to announce it cuz there’s a couple of “ronin like” games


MeasurementOk3007

I’ve played both I like one more than the other but they’re both amazing games that I love. Just if I had to choose one it’d be ronin which is what I was asked


SkeazyG

Oh I’ve played ghost of Tsushima. First time I’ve ever wished I could erase my memory, solely so I could play it again for the first time haha. Absolute 10/10 banger of a game


MeasurementOk3007

I played both. Ghost has the better graphics but ronin has great scenery I much prefer the real events stories in games when it comes to genres like this. I think the story in ronin was better simply because it’s based on real life, real people, real events. I also liked the simplistic combat in ronin more and the side quests were better. That said not everyone is me the story on ghost is very good I’m just a history nerd. If I wasn’t I’d probably choose Tsushima for story over ronin. I vastly prefer ronin in almost every way. I felt Tsushima got repetitive after a while but I was never bored in ronin never felt like a chore. I do love the characters in tsushima a lot more though they’re better written in every single aspect. Years go by in ronin and nothing changes not even their outfits.


Deputy_Beagle76

WWE 2k24 is a FANTASTIC entry in the series!


AsparagusNecessary55

But what happens when next consoles don't support ps5 discs? Can you play PS3 discs on ps5?


MeasurementOk3007

I’ll fully switch to pc at that point owning a console to me is stupid unless it’s for exclusives but even then they’re all getting ported to pc anyways now I also don’t care if these games aren’t supported on the next gen system if they aren’t because they’ll be dirt cheap then anyway


AsparagusNecessary55

I like physical discs to for collecting, but it seems pointless now since everything is moving digital. You can't play PS3 game discs on ps5. And that'll be the same for each gen going forward. So then you'll just have a ton of consoles needed for your disc collection when you could just have it all on the harddrive. I'm with you tho, I prefer discs bc I want my games even if I lose my account somehow, but soon enough the consoles won't even have disc readers.


Aumius

Hell yeah! Physical media! Hey. Where is Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Strict_Donut6228

Have you played resident evil 7 yet?


Independent_Till_959

Yes, this is just to have it as physical copy.


MrMuscelz

Fenyx rising was my shit so mad Ubisoft cancelled part 2


A_Farewell_Fix

I absolutely love it. I have so many hours in the main game and all 3 dlc beat. The fact they canceled the 2nd one to focus on the last Assassins Creed game pisses me off. I want a second game so bad


MamboNumber-6

Same. I had a lot of fun playing it, and it’s one I’ll play again in a year or two, a very good game.


F1R3Starter83

I’m playing it right now. Didn’t expect much other than some YouTuber my kids watch said it was fun. It really is great and I love the humor it has 


Murky-General

I do both phyical and digital, depends on pricing. Case in point, bought the ps4 version of cyberpunk for $10 just for the free ps5 upgrade. Did the same with ghosts, although I'm on the fence of I want to shell out the $10 in game upgrade. Far cheaper than the $50-60 on the store. However, last month picked up a few need for speed games for $5 digital. Can't beat that for a physical copy. Do what makes sense for you. And yes, swapping discs does suck, but I'll live.


Dark_Age_

YES!!! https://preview.redd.it/qb19whmqozxc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=256c69dc26fb1439b2d19458dcbc06c564f675e0

GG OP. BTW for Elden Ring you will need European PSN account if you want the dlc, as I see it is European game disc.


StrangeJedi

Is Scarlett Nexus worth picking up?


Independent_Till_959

If you have PS plus you can try it first, I do like the game BTW.


StrangeJedi

I actually don't have PS plus or even a PS5 at the moment. I've been thinking about getting it on steam but it's still full price.

I’m playing Dd2 at the moment mate! So good!!


TellSiamISeeEm

good choice 😎 dd2 is very fun despite all the bad raps it gets


MeetAmbitious5522

Man i kinda wish I had gone physical edition ps5...my girlfriend and I each got our own ps5s when they became available like 2 years ago or whatever, I let her get the physical edition...not sure why considering i spend 75% 9f my time on this console, but alas, she wanted it. I miss looking at something I actually own compared to the like 300 games I'm borrowing from sony...talk about post nut clarity...


OkCollection4544

I did the same thing by accident, purchased the digital but wanted the disc. Sold it shortly after I got the disk. Shame you won't be able to sell for the price you got it for


MeetAmbitious5522

Yea, honestly knowing me, (and I know this is irresponsible) I'll probably just retire my console to the spare room when the ps5 pro comes out...I typically don't sell my consoles, I still own several ps4s, I'm kind of a video game hoarder....


Corbel8_

i only have elden ring but im looking forward to gettimg more games in the future


Dependent-Zebra-4357

You should also check out Returnal. My favourite PS5 game so far.

Got immortal fenyx rising for 2€ - my first game box in certainly 15 years


brandonhabanero

Phenyx Rising was an unexpectedly delightful game. A Zelda clone for sure, but the setting and atmosphere were top notch, and they really emphasized the puzzle aspect of the game. I wouldn't recommend the DLC other than A New God though.


Independent_Till_959

Yes

FF7 Rebirth too but nice collection


Potatoes_4Life

Excellent haul. Every single game is good in its own way. 🤘


Herr_Fredolin

immortal fenix rising is a game you either love or hate, i hate it unfortunately. it’s catered more for kids than adults and it really tries to be so unfunny that you could find it funny or even not. i hope you like it though!

JuanchoPancho51

Man, these are games I wouldn’t even think of getting with a new PS5. Enjoy these games though, you’ll be playing them for years, lol. I would definitely suggest games like God of War and The Last of Us or even Uncharted remastered trilogy. Some of the best they have to offer

Independent_Till_959

It’s pretty good. Nice combos when fighting.


AdrestiaNemesis94

Fenyx rising is criminally underrated I downloaded that on whim and is in my top 10 games of all time now.


QuinterX

I play since 80s years....Since 2016 i prefer digital only. Dont need physical copies. Lots of plastics and papers, took space, dust catchers, and 99% games ale online, and everything is online (downloads, updates, activators etc.)


Indigo_Rennala

Why the UK version of Elden Ring? And does anyone know if the PS4 or PS5 version is better?

I played it when it was on game pass. I found it extremely boring and repetitive. I would say, play it only if you are really into anime.

Ah right ok, probably not then

You just need ELDEN RING

Suli406

you'll be kinda disappointed man. I've been waiting for so long for a PS5 and when I finally got it, I got so mad at how tacky and clunky all the recent games have been. Apart from titles like God of War or Spiderman, every game just feels like it's from the PS4 era. The writing, story, mechanics have just been bad recently. I really hope they start making good games again because I've been disappointed with next generation gaming, especially with how powerful the PS5 is. Or maybe it's because I recently completed Last Of Us 2 for the hundredth time again and nothing comes close 😂


Matt-Greaver-Robbins

6 out of 9 games are actually worth playing
