May 21, 200619 yr I just bought Dreamfall and it has six installation CDs. Why not one DVD? What is the problem with that, more like where is the logic of publishers and stores not having games in DVD format? Any modern computer has a DVD-ROM drive so what gives? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
May 21, 200619 yr You mean, any modern computer has broadband. Don't judge. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

May 21, 200619 yr I agree, DVD's have been standard on computers for the last four years. That's enough time to expect consumers to upgrade their PC. Chances are, if the consumer still has a basic CD player, they don't have the ability to run the game anyways.
May 21, 200619 yr Blame Wall-mart Anyways outside of the USA we do get those nice DVD's... Hmmm... ancient, ancient folks " Hell; most games force you to use DVD... like Oblivion, DX:IW, Fahrenheit etc. Edited May 21, 200619 yr by Hassat Hunter ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

May 21, 200619 yr Hell, my computer has a DVD Burner and it costed $500. CDs, like 56k modems, are ancient past. Any game that requires to be on 4 or more CDs needs to be on DVD. Its not like DVD ROMs are expensive. $40 can get you a decent DVD ROM. Edited May 21, 200619 yr by Judge Hades
May 21, 200619 yr DVD-drives can run CD's just fine... there is NO reason why one should keep a CD-one when they can purchase a DVD... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

May 21, 200619 yr People who don't have a DVD player likely either A) just haven't gotten around to getting one yet because nothing has 'forced' them to, B) use their PC for nothing but email and don't give a hoot (my mother). Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
May 21, 200619 yr Yup. So why release games in CD-format... I have no idea Lack of common sense we do have here in Europe?

May 21, 200619 yr DVD-ROM drive: $18.99 DVD+/-RW drive: $31.99 I don't see any logic behind not getting one.
May 21, 200619 yr Exactomundo to quote the Doctor. A gamer worth their salt would have a DVD ROM. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh that hurts DVD-ROM drive: $18.99 DVD+/-RW drive: $31.99 I don't see any logic behind not getting one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (w00t) Now only if my games were on DVDs...

May 21, 200619 yr Author A bonus with a DVD-ROM is being able to watch movies on your PC. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
May 21, 200619 yr DVD drives on computers are for wussies. I actually have one; but I don't use it. It's evil... at least until I bother to start using it. Only lazy people who cna't manage installing 6 CDs are so desperate for DVD to actually be normal. Or, nature lovers who love animals more than people as well.. These are usually the same people who are anti game manuals, and deseve to be ignored. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
May 21, 200619 yr I'd imagine games still come on CDs because there's still the impression that a significant amount of people don't have DVD drives.
May 21, 200619 yr A bonus with a DVD-ROM is being able to watch movies on your PC. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've got two DVD drives... .....and I'd still rather have my games on CD.
May 21, 200619 yr Why is that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...because switching disks during install is like pre-gaming before you party! D'uh!
May 21, 200619 yr I don't think so. At least not in my experience. With respect to reading scratched CDs, my DVD player does a better job than my CD-RW....but those are CDs. Edited May 21, 200619 yr by alanschu
