What happens is the metal or plastic in the disc stars to degrade, and eventually the data on the disc becomes unreadable. CDs sadly aren't meant to last a long time, same with DVDs, blu-rays and other disc based media. At least ones like the CD. What you've said is true, the says of the CDs is rapidly fading away. Blue-rays, DVDs, VCDs are simply behind, things are going digital now, that's why we have digital made games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it's something that's happened to some of my video CDs that's stayed too long. They become unreadable no matter what I try to do.

Having to worry about parking and taking care of the CDs to have it in playable condition is a big work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember vividly sometimes in the past when I would have to clean some of my CDs with powder and water just to get it read and play. It was very annoying.

Syntax Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I think the issue is that too many people want games that they can get participation points in or that don't have any horrible way to tell if someone is a god or sucks (ex; Battlefield 2042 without a damn scoreboard). Thus it gives the appearance that the game is super easy, just because those who have no skill can play it very easily when they might miss a ton of things a skilled player can do (but is hidden away from view).

A lot have been said about how bad Battlefield 2042 has been with a lot of letdown in the expectations that's built up for it. If you were to rate the game, what's it going to be?

Justin11 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If I am to rate it, I wouldn't condemn it much, because I never played it. I only watched it's trailer over and over again. I'll rate fully what I've played, and not what I just watched as trailer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have never played any game or the game, there is no way you would be able to give a good rating for the game. You can't do it with just watching the game's trailer.

I bet that some people do that and it's why we get weird game's ratings out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some users can simply offer their rating when they never played it just by viewing it's trailer and given it unrealistic rating. It's cool when you've played, then it is easy to rate it.

It's like how I felt about watching The Eternal's movie trailer and went ahead to get the movie which turned out to be full trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Honestly, I think I'd like to play some casual, slow paced games where there isn't a huge challenge. Kinda like that Unpacking game I'm so into. Just a relaxing game to pass the time. I feel that way with two point hospital. Because I feel you can just build and let the little people run the show while I keep building and making the hospital fancy. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
