Cool that they're doing this. I think the last physical PC game I bought was Quantum Break.

you know its just a code right?

 

[legacy24]

no physical disc lol

 

[//DEVIL//]

no physical disc lol

When did you see a gaming PC with a dvd drive lol

 

[BennyBlanco]

Did you expect a DRM free version? Otherwise a CD is just essentially a steam key anyway.

you said its a physical game when its not

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

100 dollars for this?

 

[The_Mike]

Wonder how many pc only players would actually pay for this version.
You don't really get alot for 100 bucks.

That has a code..

We hate digital here.

 

[near]

Deluxe edition of digital games, I used to fall for that shit.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

PC uses discs?!

 

[BennyBlanco]

INobody has CD drives anymore. The quantum break physical copy I was talking about was the same thing iirc. Be pedantic if you want but it's a steelbook to put on a shelf if you like that sort of thing.

Nah, it's just an empty steelbook display case, plus some art work.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I plan on getting this on PC, but this version? Lmao, no. Not worth it at all.

 

[Power Pro]

Owning a physical case for a digital game is just so..."why?" to me....I like collecting physical copies, only if there's an actual copy of the game in them, not an empty case.

 

[Ribi]

Those comics better be worth something or else that's a fucking rip off

PC never really took to Blu-ray drives sadly, so companies just stopped putting out physical versions of games unless they could fit on one or two DVD's or just contain a link to an installer and code. I remember when GTAV had a physical PC version and that was SEVEN DVD's and still required a 30GB download.

There's a saying in my native language, I'm not sure if I'm translating this correctly, but "it's not who's stupid for asking, but who's stupid for paying".

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I'm just going to buy the standalone game and mod the extra shit in, later. In fact, I don't even need that shit. I can crush Grounded on a new, clean playthrough. No problema.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I'm not buying this but I'm impressed they did it at all. Special editions are always a bunch of useless trinkets.

 

[ZehDon]

I'm good, Jimbo.

 

[Punished Miku]

That multiplayer game is going to be so expensive.

Had no idea there's a TLOU comic.

 

[lh032]

lmao

 

[Garibaldi]

My case doesn't even have external drive slots. They should have been a little more creative than 'just sell the console version without the disc' and made a usb firefly pendant with the gold version of the code on there. Minus some special files so it has to be installed to steam before working.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Doesn't the missing disc defeat the purpose of having a steel book case? It's kind of like having a really nice cellphone case with no phone available for it.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

All that digital content will be available free via mods so this is a hard pass.

its not pedantic to call a digital game digital lol

 

[Thebonehead]

Should have included some mould in a Petri dish

This might be the dumbest thing ive seen in a while.

If it actually came with 10 DVDs id legit think about biting.
The nostalgia of the Flight Simulator install was so heavy.
A box filled with content.....kids will never understand the hype of reading through all the manuals as the game installs.
Even on console, you buy the game, and read through the manual on your way home.
Hard times.....but they were good times.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

As far as special editions go, this is very weak one. Disc or no disc.

rofif posted an image of Saints Row special edition and that thing looked very interesting.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Also comes with a 9 iron golf club, and Abby autographed dumbbells

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I love the game but no thanks. Already bought this game twice and this would be my third time. They have enough of my money. I won't be buying the game at launch. I'll wait and see what the sales are like and maybe even wait for it to be given away for free on Epic. I'm honestly in no rush to replay the game.

I do remember the days of old PC games were you got a big box, a manual to read through, and having to put discs in to install it.

As much as I miss it I do think it deserves to be kept in the past. For any game I think physical is pointless these days* and even more so for a game like Flight Simulator. You can sit wasting your time fucking around with all those discs to your hearts content but you'll still need to constantly update it online.

* i guess physical makes some sense for a GOTY edition or those rare games that are well polished before release and don't need major patches if any patches at all. even for GOTY editions you will still get patches even thought they essentially contain the entire game and no major bugs.

 

[EverydayBeast]

The story is a service to apocalypse fans and honestly if you put the last of us next to other games it's just better.

 

[TVexperto]

ive never seen a pc game release with the steam logo at the top like similiar to ps5 and xbox cases, looks very nice
