No disc in the case. Have you ever thought this would be a thing??

@CharlieBrown-zr9wk February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Non-buy-nary in metal case

@ThePeperjack February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Red sounds like the biggest wet blanket

@brianmatthew2290 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Curious if that letting is preachy?

@lordneroredwood February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Nintendo, I believe, stated at one point that they will continue supporting physical media for the foreseeable future. So I will instead be supporting Nintendo more with physical buys, plus their games are plug and play physically.

@lordneroredwood February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

I still buy physicals from Nintendo, mostly because of the plug and play of the cartridges. I don't have to sit for an hour installing data onto my storage, but also because they still release their games in full on their game cards.

I hope they keep this with the Switch 2 and don't try to pull a Sony or Microsoft where only half the game is on disc.

@gregwestmen4902 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

You guys got rid of one anti-woke grifter and brought in another one 😆👏

@danielpayne7194 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Don't play it. Problem solved.

@AgentLemmon February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

What else is new. I love how for about a year now, literally any game gets boycotted before it comes out due to butthurt "gamers". Especially if there is an xbox involvement or gamepass. They event tried it with Indiana Jones.

@The_Maf1a February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

6 or 7 is consider mid this channel's not biased at all. Probably would be amazing with those scores if it was on ps 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@vegassims7 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

I am excited to play because I love the games they came out before, but I always have reservations these days, once bitten, twice shy. I will be timing the first 2 hours and if not amazedballs, I will refund for sure.

@MGame0042 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

I actually don't care about physical media. I find physical won't save "lost media" like some people think. Any sort of physical destruction or mechanical failure can happen. But digital can be copied and put up as is, or even reverse engineered to take out censorship or whatever blocking software and then put up. If some worldwide catastrophe happens where there is no internet, we as humans won't be worried about lost media anyway. We'd be worried about survival with food, water, and shelter.

With Avowed, I can't wait to see it put up on the various seven seas sites on February 13th (or somehow earlier which would mystify me) so I can laugh and still not download it. It would be nice if the letter from the developer was "I'm sorry you bought this game. Matt Hansen is a douchecanoe who everyone regrets having here. Please send help."

@Interference22 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

"Physical Copy." Does not include a disc. Art book is digital. Soundtrack is digital. Early access and player skins obviously aren't physical items. The only actual physical objects you get are a box, map, and letter. That's basically an additional 20 dollars for a cheap metal case and two bits of paper.

@petros-v4w February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

It's so simple. I won't buy it if they don't release it physical

@gwilly4744 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Oh the one chick that the GoW guy hates! I like her!

@christophereasley7336 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

hahahahahahhaha these people are hurting. must be awful to just hate everything

@segaprophet February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Console gamers clinging to optical media for dear life, meanwhile PC gamers haven't thought about it for over a decade.

@OrbiTiZZeD February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

does it come with a statue of the art director throwing money in the trash?

@r.rodriguez4991 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

"I have to play this trash."

No. You don't. You just want to because complaining about things you hate is the only thing resembling substance you can think of for your stream.

Gaming today is apparently low quality games and low quality gaming content.

@AkuTenshiiZero February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Honestly the game looks OK, I might have even bought it on sale. But it fails to clear the first hurdle just by having pronoun selection, and because of that I'm sure the story will have woke nonsense as well.

@Raithnix February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

I just spent $25. I wasn't looking for much; I just needed a quick game to beat while I wait for MHW and have time off work. If it sucks, it likely will, so I also downloaded all Octopath titles on my Ally.

@preyingocelotgames4397 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Do you and these brain-dead women actually like games?

@Look-at-the-ghost February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Only a trash person and game hater would even talk about this game. Have some self respect

@PatrioticSam February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Its hard for me to show sympathy for people who keep preordering this stuff, it really is.

@Ronuk1996 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Having got the gold edition for Kingdom Come 2 its craxy what they charging for Avowed i would not have as much of inssue paying that price for.KCD2 or GTA6. But for Avowed the fantasy setting and just as game looks dull.

@JDoe-gf5oz February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Lorde's last album did that. Big box filled with crap but no disc.

@Oblithian February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

I feel like 7 is not mid, that's decent. Worth buying but nothing to write home about. 6 is take it or leave it. 5 is barely acceptable.
Everything below 5 is in the scale of bad.

But, everyone scales things differently. That's why you get people 5/5 staring videos that are merely worth watching.

Regardless this game is FAR too expensive for what it is.

@J-zf4eh February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

We've gone from physical copies having full manuals art, and other freebies to selling a code with empty shell art design on a steel book. Don't get me wrong I love Steelbooks but when they came with tons of goodies AND the GAME. Digital code?? Keep your game.

@dukeofmilpitas February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Vara Dark speaks wisely. How many game journalists have written hit pieces on games they never even played. Vara has INTEGRITY.

@JAFTW February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

No ownership, no money. Pretty simple really. It's the year of the wallet folks, vote with yours.

@HerrFinsternis February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

You don't have to buy the game to call out bad practise here. That call has nothing to do with the game itself just the way they put it on the market. Your work is done.

Unless you want to review the actual game of course.

@HerrFinsternis February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

….. "What's in the box" …..

@DarkestStarASMR February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Gaming is dead

@lyonfrnd February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

These guys are talking about the game as if it abused their daughters.

@darkwolf780 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

If the game is First Person only, Why have a Character Creator? it makes no sense what so ever

@rickyrat42069 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

Tf is avowed anyway? Dont even care

@mbob4337 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

There are zero physical items. Except for the generic steelbook case. There is no point in making these sets.

@npckse8508 February 18, 2025 - 5:50 am

I feel like this is why I don't enjoy online content about video games any longer. It is this constant refusal to like or be excited by anything. I realize that the art director for Avowed is insane, but literally every hands-on account I have read has been promising. This is the fantasy version of outer worlds and it sounds like fun. It takes place in the Pillars of Eternity world. If it ends up being a dumpster fire, well its on gamepass.
