Fuck it. Be prepared. Mod your PS3 and put PKGi on it. Hunting for physical PS3 games is about to get a lot tougher.
Some people have asked how I can cover so many games on original hardware in my console retrospectives, and the answer is always modding. That's all I'll say.
Examples of games currently only available on PS3 or Vita PSN:
Xenogears
Einhander
Tokyo Jungle (expensive physically)
Legend of Dragoon
Mega Man Legends 1 and 2
Misadventures of Tron Bonne
Parasite Eve 1-3
Threads of Fate
Vagrant Story
Disgaea 3 and D2
We're losing recipes
gaming is in such a dire spot right now, just stick to retro gaming at this point. everything you haven't played yet is new, and its better to enjoy the games that were made before this industry turned to shit
I started collecting physical games (and CDs / DVDs) around 3 years ago out of fear of companies killing emulation or piracy sites. I don't really feel any sort of pride for owning stuff but here's our game collection ๐ (my bf loves Mario Kart and Wii is my second name)
This isn't about 'responding to shifting trends', its about greed, plain and simple. Digital games can't be traded. Digital games can't be sold second hand. Digital games can't be tossed in the bargain bin. They want consumers to be entirely at the mercy of Sony's storefront.
Getting inexplicably excited out of nowhere thinking about getting home and playing Metal Slug X for the 7th time this year. For some reason I found a lot of comfort in knowing my favourite games were developed when genAI wasn't a thing.
Stupid ass post but I just love art.
And now it's confirmed. Physical games acted as an anchor point for game prices, because you could always rent, trade or buy used games. Here in the UK, physical games are often cheaper than their digital counterparts because retailers will compete on price. For example, Wolverine is ยฃ69.99 on the PlayStation Store, but ยฃ62.99 from Currys. Same exact game, but the physical is ยฃ7 cheaper, and I can trade it or sell it.
This is defacto confirmation that the PS6 will be a digital-only console, and Xbox already gave up on physical media years ago. You can prepare for much higher game prices going forward.
@LatinaMerchant1 FGC is barely scraping by so people have to accept the money. They'll be good because of this for a while and a centralized dependency on Evo might be formed.
Ripping it away at that point could hard end some locals in the same way VC esports money ended some NA regionals.
LLM companies that claim to be AI love pointing to non generative machine learning and acting like that's the accomplishment of their glorified chat bot most famous for its failures and the delusions of its users. Don't fall for AI propaganda.
La IA generativa tambiรฉn le permite al fascismo de mercado tomar venganza contra los artistas e intelectuales, sentir que no los necesita, que los puede sintetizar, que puede tener arte sin artistas y โmรกs importanteโ pensamientos sin pensar. Por ahรญ por eso los fascina tanto.
Youtube used to be about just hosting good content made by the everyman. Youtube AI isnt removing barriers to content creation, its just checking a box so their investors are happy. Ai is not creating. Its all out of ur hands. A 7 year old with a camera and toys is creating more.
En Chile hace 16 aรฑos hubo alguien que muriรณ en el incendio de la cรกrcel de San Miguel preso por vender cd's piratas. Hoy dรญa las empresas mรกs grandes del mundo piratean el trabajo de millones de artistas y lo profitan bajo el nombre de inteligencia artificial.
