Blue Dragon on 3 discs actually really bothers me

I must say that im still looking forward to playing this game but I just cant help the fact it being on multiple discs just bothers me. I know its not THAT big of a deal but in a way it kind of is. I mean wow, when you think about it the last time a console has seen multiple disc games was back in the PSone era in the mid 90s, here we are in 2007, a decade later and Large games such as Blue dragon are still on multiple discs?!

The worst part about it is, it seems like the 360 is moving backwards instead of forward, sure the xbox live is the bomb and very groundbreaking in terms of live service but DVD9 is becoming a thing of the past, like it or not.. it is.  I mean sure I might have paid $200.00 more for the PS3 than I did for the 360 but atleast they are using blu ray to eliminate games having to be on multiple discs. And its not because im lazy and i dont feel like changing the disc, its just the principal of the thing. I mean this is the year 2007, its been years since a game has been on multiple discs now the 360 is making a game on not 2 BUT 3 DISCS?! I mean come on, whats up with that? That would be like Nintendo going back to cartridges.. Well maybe not that drastic but you catch my drift.

As my sig indicates, I do own both consoles and im not neccesairly calling the 360 bad in anyway because i like it a lot, but In actuality, all system wars aside, Sony made a very good move making PS3 blu ray, thats my opnion. Because lets face it, multiple disc games are soo 90s

Yes i really feel that way. Ive tried to ignore it for quite some time, but its just one of those things that bugs me for some reason, a game in this day and age just should not be on multiple discs, pure and simple

What do you expect? RPG's on the 360 will be multiplat. Not that it's a problem, just that developers are going for the high def of gaming. And fmv type movies for rpg's is sure to take up a lot of space on the DVD9.

Edit: -cough- Excuse me. That's multidisk.

I dont mind at all. Well maybe because im a 20 yr old whos in shape and not lazy azz who doesnt mind getting up. I did it for FF7,8,9,Chrono cross,xenogears,and star ocean. And by golly and can do it for Blue Dragon.bigboss5ak

Dude it has nothing to do with that whatsoever. Its the principal of thing, I mean dude think about it.. Its been a decade since we have had multiple disc games, the Gamecube and PS2 for cryin out loud didnt even have any multiple disc games, this is suppose to be "next gen"

Why would he write a rant about 3 disks to up post coun't why not simple one's, this guy really belives himself. 3 Disks, man I have so many 2 disk PS2 games. What I have to get up in 9 hours after starting the game to change a disk, how freaking lazy can one get :roll:.

 Umm all Resident Evil games were multiple disc. You = owned, like that's a challenge...

I honestly don't know whats the big deal is.

i mean it's just a couple of steps (depending on your setup).

wtf?

Well at the end of the day multiple disks still doesnt stop one from being a great game.

Bruton's Threads Really Bother me.

Honestly could you explain how multiple discs makes a game less enjoyable.

I  understand your point, and if it was every other game that would be one thing.  We are coming into the 3rd generation of the system and this is the first game to be on multiple disks.

Give most people the option, spend an extra $200 or change disks in one or 2 games a year.  Which do you think they'll choose?

I'm sorry but Sony jumped in to next gen media too fast IMO.  By the time it picks up, standalone players will likely have come down quite a bit making it less of a selling point.  A few games will benefit from the extra space, but I doubt the majority. 

In the end it is just extra weight adding price and turning off many longtime loyal fans. 

To be perfectly honest, if ANYONE could get away with it, only Sony could, coming off 2 successfull gens.  We see how well that is turning out.  MS would have been slaughtered at a $600 price point.

It's when you go across the lake to the island with the guys with machine guns? You put in disk two and appear on an island? Remember? Yes? No? Maybe so? Pearl ftw btw.
duncanvk

To be specific, Chapter 5 is on disc 2. It starts with a cut-scene, Ada ditches your ass in a speedboat after giving you a ride to the island.

Assignment Ada is disc 1, as is Mercenaries.

its got tons and tons of fmv.

As opposed to the only disk being scrathed and the whole thing being worthless?  It works out the same either way you do.

I don't care... Not a big deal to me. They chose what they thought was the bestprice performance ratio for their console. It ended up saving them and the consumer money, so i think it was a good choice, as the majority of games will not be multi disc.
