I just bought a Switch copy of Red Dead Redemption for $30 USD at Walmart and wondered if that’ll be the last of its purchase I’ll ever make. There’s nothing quite like buying a new cellophane-wrapped copy and it makes me sad the physical age of gaming is at its twilight.
Armored Core 6. Because it was on the store shelf at my local Walmart a full day before it was supposed to launch.
Splatoon 3. Kinda regret getting into it though. Requires a subscription
I still buy physical, last I got was Kirby Air Riders with an Amiibo because I couldn’t believe they made a sequel. The price was a hard pill to swallow though.
Somebody left a ps4 game on the bus one time. I brought it home only to realize it was someone’s mixtape left in an old game case so somebody would pick it up. That’s guerilla marketing.
Probably Super Mario Bros. Wonder or LoZ Echoes of Eisdom. I will continue to buy physical games from local stires until it’s no longer an option.
A couple months back I picked up a copy of Resident Evil 2 for the N64 at a retro shop nearby. Honestly a great way to play the game. I don’t really buy modern releases physically these days though since I play on PC.
Morrowind, back in… Dagoth knows when it was so long ago
Practically another lifetime.
I think mine was in Akihabara last year for some (dirt cheap) second hand Switch games, but besides that I have no idea where or when.
L4D2 - it upset me that the disc just had an install of Steam and I would have to download it.
I really miss when buying PC games was fun.
Must have been Half Life.
(without the “2” - yes, I am that old).Had a 20 year gaming pause some time after that and when starting again, everything was online…
I honestly can’t remember. I bought a couple of physical 3DS games semi-recently, but those were ordered online. I bought Rayman Legends on the PS4 for my sister from a physical game store like 12 years ago? Might genuinely be that.
When The Witcher 3 came out I had the money and bought it shortly after release at a local shop, because my net connection then was way too slow to download anything measured in gigabytes.
I think it was a set of 3 CDs. I took them home, started installing, and then found out that 3 CDs was nowhere near enough and it wanted to download somewhere in the 10s of gigabytes before I could play. It took about three days.
Halo 2 at a Gamestop midnight release.
… Maybe EverQuest?
… Or Doom3?
I really don’t remember, it’s been so long.Witcher 2 Nordic Edition back in 2011. My Steam account is 21 years old :)
