red dead redemption 2 recently released and required two discs. one was data only, whcih was copied off. the other disc was data plus the playable disc. this is the first ps4 game i have seen do that, but i don't know if there are others.
- jvanderbot 8y agoOh man this brings me back to 5 CD jrpgs. We had to know it was inevitable.
- aidenn0 8y agoI think Wing Commander IV was the most discs of any game I owned (6 IIRC). Either Wing Commander II or Gabriel Knight was the most floppies (both around 12).
- gmassman 8y agoYeah iirc Call of Duty 2 had 5 discs on PC
- selectodude 8y agoUnreal Tournament 2004 was like 7 CDs. I remember having to buy a second hard drive for that game. Worth it.
- SXX 8y agoIf I remember correctly original Phantasmagoria release that I still have had like 7 discs.
- zentiggr 8y ago5 CDs, with live switching as you progressed in game. Still like that one although I'd not revisit it.
- Varcht 8y agoDon't get us old guys started on the number of floppies...
- _ZeD_ 8y agoI still remember the 4 floppies of monkey island AND the inside joke when you find a stomp and the game starts to ask for the disk #22!
- mrec 8y agoOh god yes. Back before hard disks (Amiga A500+ in my case), trying to play an N-floppy game on a 1-floppy system was... character-building.
- me551ah 8y agoStill remember Windows 95 with 21 floppies.
- gscott 8y agoThe difference between Win 3.1 and Win 95 was really life changing. The usability of Win 95 certainly sped up adoption of the Web by non-university/govt users.
- peatmoss 8y agoEarly Linux distros downloaded via 14.4kbps modem for me. I... don’t even remember how many floppies that took. Lots as I recall.
- wlesieutre 8y agoTakes me back to Riven
- Tsubasachan 8y agoOne of my first games was Baldur's Gate 2. That was 6 cdroms iirc. Oh well look on the bright side: its better than no patches. Bethesda has a history of ignoring bugs. They let Skyrim on PS3 wither on the vine.
- yellowapple 8y agoOr the Gamecube version of Resident Evil 4.
- TheCapeGreek 8y agoI used to have an original edition The Sims 2. 5 discs to install as well. What a long way we've come.
- recursive 8y agoI think GTA5 had something like this.
- rzzzt 8y agoThe GTA5 box holds 7 dual-layer DVDs: https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV_PC/comments/31vdpb/inside_the_gta_v_pc_disk_box_by_russian_retailer/ https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV_PC/comments/31vdpb/... (edit: for the PC version, that is; and even that might depend on the year you got the thing. Also found a Reddit thread with the box on display)
- nikofeyn 8y agothe ps4 version, which is a blu-ray, only has one disc.
- ukyrgf 8y agoRedbox sent me an email that had a picture of RDR2 "Disc 1" in the list of new games. I wasn't sure what that meant, and figured that data disc might have had a gimped version of the game with only one or two chapters. Turns out, you have to rent both discs to play! One to install (which took like two hours for me, if not more), and one to play. I guess you only need to rent one disc after that, but they're still getting at least $6 out of anybody that wants to play.
