Our experiences may just have been a bit different and we got different games, but all of my physical boxes have a disc in them that I can remember.
I actually went back to buying discs this year because my brother lives close by now and we can share the games. Thankfully that’s still an option.
Nah, that guy is a bit off. I’ve bought several brand new, 2026 titles this year and they all have discs in the box.
I have literally bought the last few brand new, 2026 PS5 games on disc. I’m getting Control Resonant this week on disc.
If you mean GTAVI, then yeah that’s bonkers. But you can get most games with a physical disc currently.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is my current game I’m spending the most time in. It’s Fire Emblem but now has little dungeons! They don’t add too much, honestly, but they break up the straight strategy combat with a simplified turn based RPG style. Something new, so that’s fun. Looks great; plays great.
I do like the story of my character Leda so far. It’s more “mature” than I expected as it often talks about murder and revenge. I’m eager to see what the other paths are like.
Silent Hill: Townfall is next. My friends and I always play a scary game together during the season, so this came out at a perfect time. About halfway through it, and I like it a lot!
Final Fantasy XIV: I mean, this is the goat. I’m always playing this. Eager to clear up any side activities before the new expansion in January.
Hell yeah.
I finally just got all my classes to level 100 this month. Now I just need to play Beastmaster.
My free company also finally got into building airships and stuff so we’ve been doing that.
I have:
Star Wars: Zero Company
Orbitals
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave
Control 2
FFXIV
all going at the same time for the next few months. I could not care less about GTA.
This is the one that grinds my gears.
I have an ongoing joke for these games in my friend discord where anytime one comes up (because there’s always one in a gaming showcase) I put
“<NOUN>fall, yet another game in the long running -fall series.”
My headcanon is that they all are in the same universe.
Me, a normal FFXIV player: “I thought MMO communities were super nice and helpful.*”
*The reason I bounced from WoW is because I started to hate the people I was interacting with, and FFXIV almost has none of this shit. You couldn’t pay me to play WoW again.
I just ticked over the 20 hour mark in the latest Fire Emblem, and I’m like, “Yeah this is real good.”
But I thought the Switch 2 was doomed over the holidays because [of reasons]!
My job recently has definitely been to fix the UI that the robot makes because for the life of it, it cannot follow our UI library components and the way we set up our React files.
I don’t use the bot, but I end up having to clean up after it from other people. And it does take a while to just parse what the thing did, come up with a game plan, then fix.
Some people might say, “well just have the bot fix it!” No. I don’t want to use the bot.
