I generally agree with you that there are a lot of the typical salty reactions here, but decisions like how many disks are being used are usually made by the publishers.

yellowwindow7 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 thank god I didn't preorde this, i'll get it physically after its officially launched. I really wished if Sony and blue point studio have did this collection instead and maybe since they got more knowledge about the limitations and all they might have a better solution about this BS ActiNOvision and Toys for Stupid Bob did ? at this rate I really appreciate the idea of having the collection on two disc, speaking of discs, what's the point of physical media now since the freaking games nowadays need more than 50GB yet still required to be installed completely on the HDD? I heard people already saying next gen from now on should use those dual layer Blu-ray discs that's about 128GB or something, I swear even if they developed a 1TB Blu-ray discs and consoles in the future had 4TB HDD as a standard you'll gonna see these shitty publishers will still find ways to ruin the games where despite the huge storage discs they still need 2TB day one patch this time and the rest of the game need 1TB to be installed only to be shocked that the actual size of the game is 12GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monteblommie Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) I really don't get why there are people legit ready to just straight up not buy the game. Does it suck that everything isn't on the disc? Absolutely but this giga update does mean that the games are way more polished as it was very apparent that spyro 3 wasn't ready for release last month yet the discs were already printed. You can always get the digital version and just avoid the problem all together. Edited November 8, 2018 by monteblommie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I have a dumb question. I have limited interest in purchasing this game, but I will probably play it from my library. If you get a second-hand copy, is the update free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TragicTravesty Posted November 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2018 The complaining about this game is sad. It is 2018. Day one updates are a thing. Yes, slightly different as it contains some level access, but honestly people, get over it. Stop bitching over every little thing. Just be happy that we get such a loving remaster rather than a slight increase in image quality like most other remasters... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been game collections in the past year that had one or more of the games as a DLC code, not an update, so it's a pretty understandable question. Bayonetta 2 on Switch had Bayonetta 1 as a download code (and that was not as a "pre-order bonus, like with the South Park games - this is how the game is shipped, and the digital versions together are the same price as the one physical pack). Either Mega Man and/or Mega Man X had the second half of the collection not on disc/cartridge but as a download code, at least in the West. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero excuse for not making this game a 2 disc set, as they will more than make their money back on it and then some. Don't get me wrong, I love Spyro to death and will be playing the hell out of this collection after it comes through my Letterbox next week but Activision's treatment of him over the last decade has really rubbed me up the wrong way and this business about what is and isn't on the disc - is the last straw. I love what Toys for Bob have done with this remake but Activision have been treating them like dirt, if that annoymous employee Reddit post from a couple of months back is anything to go by. "There is zero excuse". Aren't we entitled. You do realize that Toys for Bob made the game, correct? You do realize that this game is not a full retail price game, correct? Maybe give them money for that extra disc and we don't need to hear or read your banters. Like I said earlier. Would you rather Toys for Bob half a-- the games just to fit them onto one disc? I'd rather play the beautiful games they built for true fans. Fans that don't wine and complain and enjoy the games that we wanted for so long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maxie_M0us3 Posted November 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) A such big update?!?! Seriously?! I respect for what Toys For Bob did with the remake trilogy... but NEVER ever will I tolerate Activi$ion for rushing out an incomplete physical disc. They could have put all the thing in two discs like Red Dead Redemption 2! Extremely lazy and anti-consumer! I wanted the game, but I don’t want it brand new and from a store anymore! This publisher won’t have more of my money! Call me years later when the PSN servers shut down and you can’t download the rest of the content. I understand day one patches for fixing bugs and glitches, but day one update that is essentially a portion of the base game is unacceptable! Activi$ion obviously want to keep a control on their games from physical discs and to re-release the games on next generations, begging us more money for playing the full game again! This isn’t the first time Activi$ion pulls this incomplete physical disc practice, folks. For example, you must update CoD:WW2 to even play the campaign, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 (a rushed bad game) only has the demo on the disc and the fully playable game is on update. This made basically the disc as “Activate key”, making the physical disc pointless to get. Don’t question me why I hate Activi$ion with pure passion, and for good reasons! It’s simply the scummiest publisher in the entire gaming industry, not delivering us complete, playable SINGLE PLAYER base games on disc! Am I wrong? Go ahead and find me other games that are not published by Activision, on physical disc, single player campaign entirely playable without needing an update.

Asvinia Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, MAXTHUNDER said: Let's get this straight. So, You want to play the games 20 years from now. So, You will only buy it used. Do you think buying it used is going to fix that? Do you actually realize how much hard work went into making these games because I don't think you do. Would you rather they half a--ed the games just to fit them on a single disc? Buying games used doesn't support the developers and in this case Toys for Bob at all and they put a lot of hard work into bringing these games out. Keep in mind this is not a full retail priced game and at 40 USD for 3 legendary games rebuilt from the ground up is worth it in my book. I will only buy it used because I'm not going to support Activision in only releasing half a physical product. I know full well that TfB worked hard on it, so they should have issue with Activision, it's not my responsibility to buy a game new just because this corporation 'worked hard on it'. TfB have already been paid, so I have no issues about not supporting this game. If you're happy to just throw away stuff that you've bought, that's fine. But if I paid for it, I want to be able to use all of it until it physically breaks, not until the company I bought it from decides that I've had enough time to play this and should be done. I know we live in a throwaway culture now, where people have no issues about being blocked from things they paid for, but I do my best not to support it. Buying it used means that Activision don't get my money and I still get to play. Don't even try to guilt me into buying a game that Activision have already paid their studio to make. If I pay for a product, I should be able to use that product whenever I want, whether that's tomorrow, in 20 years or 40. I should be able to put the disc into a working PS4, and be able to play the entire 3 games. If you don't care about this that's fine, but don't try to bullshit me into supporting bullshit practices. Edit: Before you call me entitled, I have every right to want the product that I pay for. If they want my money they need to make a product I am willing to spend that money on. They haven't done that. Telling people to just suck it up because it's 2018 is no argument, and ever more shitty practices is why I'm shifting to PC gaming where I'm not locked into this bollocks.

UlvenFenrir Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 theorically is there any point in owning any physical copies these days? Im asking because, lets say that psn went out, youd be left with a technical mess most of the time and without 20+ patches to migate that, then what difference does it make? you all blame activision, rightfully so, but maybe it have more to do with how big these games are and cant fit on 1 blu ray disc. Why not ship the games with two discs then? Probably because it costs more to manufacturing two discs than it does creating a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
