Assassin's Creed 3 coming on two discs on X360!

Don't see how this is an issue really.

[QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"] Well then, that's not the format's fault but the blu-ray reader's fault in the PS3. I kept my old PS2 games as good condition as possible but it still has scratches, can't believe lemmings are coping with a format that can easily get scratched and with a console that actually scratches discs.Stevo_the_gamer

I've argued with Lems saying the reason that DVD was a big mistake from Microsoft and they refused. Now look at this! :lol:

why is it a mistake?

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"] You want to say blu-ray is inferior to DVD's? Anyone that can do math will say blu-ray is better, and the fact that the coating on a blu-ray is much more resilient to scratching seals the deal.DrTrafalgarLaw

And if you don't...you know...move your console while it's playing a game, the discs don't get scratched. I've owned a 360 since January of 2006 and I've never had one of my discs scratched by the console.

To that same end, I've never once scratched a game to the point of it being unreadable either and most of the game discs in my posession that weren't bought used are in pristine condition, even after dozens of hours of playing time. Maybe you just need to get better at handling your games properly. :?

Several stationary xbox360's scratching discs in a test performed by a dutch consumer watchdog. This watchdog actually got Microsoft to replace RROD's for free, because consumer watchdogs ineurope would sue the sh*t out of Microsoft, unlike the p*ssy-ass consumers in USA.

Interesting video. Extremely outdated, and a failure to take into account the many variations of DVD drives in the Xbox 360 rather hurts its credibility considerably now.

Secondly, you're a complete dumbass if you think Americans aren't sue-happy. :lol:

[QUOTE="rjdofu"] Total swap disc time combined still <<< than waiting for mandatory install :cool:delta3074

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"] It takes you out of the immersion, on PS3...you install it once and be done with it...on 360, as a 360 owner you'd need to move that fat ass out of the crater of what was once called a couch or bed, strain a few hamstrings and a few gluteus muscles along the way to your console due to the sudden increase in weight that needs to be supported, strain your biceps while opening the CD case, possibily injure yourself with cuts while grabbing the DVD, put it in your console and break your couch or bed that you fall back on due to the immense overweight body again. All in the while of being lifted out the immersion of the game. When you're done huffing and wheezing and got renergized by a 40z Coke bottle and some energy bars, press X to continue.

With PS3: Install and play away, you can keep the disc in there forever and finish the game without moving a inch from your position, being immersed in the game the whole time. It's not even know if mandatory installs are re uired.clyde46

I can't even believe a consumer would buy a product that DESTROYS a $60 investment when it slightly moves or shocks. The slims even have a warning-sticker ffs. That aside, I can't even believe the apologists saying it's okay if you don't move it. A product should not destroy your discs AT ALL.

And my PS2 games still work fine, they have small scratches...but this only is a testament to how easily it could go wrong with DVD(9).

lol diskswapping, reminds me of the old Amiga days :D

[QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Console doesn't scratch disks unless someone is a dumbass and moves the console while the disk is spinning; secondly, if people would take care of their disks then whether or not they're easily scratchable is moot. My disks are still in quite superb condition.delta3074

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="delta3074"]thats the point though, according to the article there is no mid game swapping of disks in AC3 'Pressed on whether Assassin's Creed 3 simply comprises a one-time disc-swap half-way through the game, Cooper added: "No, it's not even that. We won't talk about how it's done... but don't worry about it, you won't be jumping back and forth."' So it's not even a single disc change halfway through what would you say it is? Clue; RE6 comes on two disks but you don't have to swap the discs in game OR swap the discs to access multiplayerdelta3074

:P

[QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"]

[QUOTE="delta3074"]it's a danger with any console that uses a tray loading CAV drive, it's not a problem unique to the 360, Ps2 had the same problem if you bumped or moved the console as well,loldelta3074

oh wow such an inconvenience....:roll:

Still MGS4 wins in being an inconvieniece tbh i would rather have multiple disks than multiple installs.

/inb4 im a lemming cause i disagree.

razgriz_101

The only difference is that MGS4 is just one game,and the only one that work on that horrible way as well.

There are multiple 360 games with this problem and it will continue.

i can honestly say i have not had one scratched disk across 4 different xbox 360's.delta3074

4 different xbox.?

Wow and they pretend like RROD and resells have not blown up the xbox 360 user base.

why is it a problem?

I believe the PS3 version has exclusive content as well.Superior version comfirmed.Probably be the same with Far Cry 3.

Really? This tired topic? Nine pages?

edit: just tipped it to 10

Wow, that must mean the Xbox 360 version is inferior. Seriously, I don't care and I play Final Fantasy XIII on the 360.

Oh noes 2 discs, the horror !

Cow awakens from 4 year Coma and spots something for the first time .

TLHBO !!!

After exclusive unplayable versions of GTA4 , RDR , Skyrim and Bayonetta they probably are entitled to it !

In all honest a new xbox should have been put out a year ago so this shouldn't even have been an issue

why is it a problem?

So is not on your eyes having to switch disc on Mass Effect 3 as much as 10 times.?

Swapping a disc takes all of... 3 seconds!! How long are those mandatory installs again? ;)

A one time disc swap never bothers me. It's when you have to go back and forth between discs like the idiots at Bioware did on ME3, and to a lesser extent ME2.

I'll gladly take a one time disc swap over a 20 minute install followed by a 10 minute update on the PS3. I'm not sure if AC3 is having a mandatory install or not though.

BTW whatever happened to the hour of bonus gameplay for AC3 that the PS3 fanboys were on here bragging about a month or so ago? Is it still happening or what?

More like you (and others) pretend the warranty doesn't exist and far more gamers did NOT have to spend any money to fix or replace their unit.

Way to use logic there :P

I've argued with Lems saying the reason that DVD was a big mistake from Microsoft and they refused. Now look at this! :lol:

GamerwillzPS

How was MS supposed to put something in their console that didn't exist at the time? :roll:

Even with DVD, swapping discs>>>mandatory installs. I like my limited hard drive space for my console to be used for what I want, not for huge GB worth of installs for games that get played once.

What are you talking about? Stand alone Blu Ray players were already on the market in 2005. It's only the PS3 that launched a year later.

Just came back from being out all day and found this thread ended up in 10 pages. :lol:

Yep, lems are on to something... Always trying to defend their inferior console.
