I don't understand the morons who go out of their way to attack physical media to the point where they don't even want it as an option. We literally just lived through a pandemic with "ONLY" about 2~10% death rate which threw the world upside down and made internet connections get throttled and at some times and some places be extremely limited so that the Emergency services could have as much bandwidth as possible to do their jobs. And now we're quite possibly at the edge of a war that could span the globe and severely limit our connections to the internet if you're lucky enough to not be in even worse situations. Do they really think they'll have access to any of their digital sh*t plus bandwidth to download games reaching 100gb? F*ck, not to mention the fact that you don't OWN anything digital. And that's not to sound like a "purist", I buy digital games, I have a bunch of them, sometimes the sales are just too good and accessibility is great. But I have no illusions whatsoever that if the companies running these platforms decide that they no longer wish to give me access to my games, or contractual licences run out, or whatever the f*ck else, I will be sh*t out of luck. So I make sure to own a physical copy of at least my favorite ones to replay. Sorry it's impossible not to rant with this kind of topic lmao.
Speaking about games made by Remedy and good collectables Control, even though you have to get 120 of them as long as your exploring you'll hit that number easy and there's way more then that number too so you don't have to stress at all
I love Alan Wake. I mostly play digital, but I hope that they change their mind and make a physical for Alan Wake 2. Even if it's a limited run, just make it possible to get. Give consumers more options when purchasing games!
100% agreed. Usually I only buy the game digital if its a mega sale or I'm super excited for it. But limiting a Triple A game to Digital Only is unacceptable
Man I am so excited to try this game out for myself. I had never heard of it before all the hype around the second one but seems like I’ve been missing out!! Congrats on the plat🎉
Loved Alan Wake from the 360 days. Digital release doesn't bother me if the price point is decent. If not, will likely pick up when it's on offer at some point
Ive waited for such a long time for this game to be free I was gonna buy Alan Wake remastered because I love Max Payne series Ive got the same feeling from Alan Wake that I get when I play Max Payne
15:06 I wish I can say the same but I’ve never hated collectibles this much just because they don’t tell you what your missing so I’m currently stuck at 99 coffee thermos and I’ve been looking for it for like 3 hours
I hate that it’s not getting a physical release, I only buy games digital usually if it’s an indie title that’s only gonna be digital due to it being a smaller game, or if it’s on a really good sale and it’s a game I’m mainly buying just because it’s cheap and looks alright. The fact that Alan wake 2 isn’t getting a physical copy is really annoying to me, even the new yakuza game(like a dragon gaiden) is showing no signs of a physical release hurts too. Yeah a lot of people buy digital that’s fine, but people will always want to buy physical games, that’s why dvds and blu ray have not gone away even though streaming shows and movies is the norm, it’s nice to have something on the shelf for collectors. It started last year when god of war ragnarok collectors edition comes with a steelbook case, but no disc? Who does that, I think the new Spider-Man collectors edition is the same. Since it comes out 17th and Spider-Man is 20th I’m just gonna leave Alan wake for a bit, hopefully they make one sometime but I’ll be playing Spider-Man in October not Alan wake as I love to buy my games physical and for them to gatekeep a good chunk of their customers it’s on them
First video watched and really enjoyed it. Glad I’ve found a good British trophy hunter. Made me want to play this next. Liked and subscribed also. Good work!!
I understand their reasoning for not having a physical release so they don't have to have a playable build weeks before launch but surely just put out the physical release later then? They could release the game digital first and then have the disc version go out a few weeks later.
A highly anticipated Triple A game being a digital release only is stupid and Remedy though I do love Control and Alan Wake remastered and I kind of liked Quantum Leap. But Remedy really fucked up with a Digital only release and they flat out ignored THQNordic who offered to release the game physically to enhance sales. And I think that Remedy really need to rethink this. Granted it will be cheaper than most Triple A digital releases but still it's pissing me off.
Remedy have been doing very anti consumer things recently. Like when they rereleased Control on the PS5 for full price, even if you already owned the game when other companies were offering their Next Gen Upgrades for $10 and sometimes even free.
To be fair getting rid of physical media saves so much on plastic and waste it has to move in that direction. How many of us have 20+ plastic cases were not recycling or getting rid of??
@bananaman4543 Unfortunately not true - you own a licence to use that content, and it can be terminated at any time. Apple frequently take content off of their stores, regardless of whether you paid for it or not - all digital distribution is subject to copyright rules, and because digital versions are not stored locally, it's still controlled by them. This is why you can't play P.T. nowadays Not to mention all the content being taken down from streaming sites that never got a physical release (Willow, Final Space, The Princess etc). Physical is at least a form of media that can't be rescinded
@@IJJoshYT hahaha same with me that’s why i just had to ask it. I shit myself when playing five nights at freddys security breach, and even the last of us games are just not good for my heart for some reason😂
Just got the platinum for Alan Wake Remastered and did not enjoy the journey to it. Just a tedious collectathon and the 1.5 second stamina coupled with most collectibles being completely out of the way made it even more boring. It killed any interest I had in ever playing a sequel
I buy exclusively digital copies now but i just got a ps5, june 2023, and i still buy the disk version. Even though i dont own any game disk anymore. 🤷♂️
Hi josh im planing to upload videos like you and others i i need help to edit and like the quality for the video i only got a phone and my ps5 and im trying to invest on youtube to but a laptop to edit videos there and have it as a job it would mean allot for me and my family if you help me love you bro
@IJJoshYT me too. The last news I got about Alan wake 2 was that there was a mistake, only PC will get a Pure Digital Launch with a Code in the Box. But There will be a Physical Disk for everyone else.
@IJJoshYT I'm not that much into Alan wake, I researched a little. The last article I read. Was based on rumors they heard well, better read it twice.. I'm sorry 😅
I only play digital. I even bought the digital only ps5. I haven't used a disc since ps3 and that was a gift someone got for me. Not saying ppl that like disc are wrong just saying my preference that's all. Love your vids, been watching them a ton for the past like week or two.
Smash that like button if yall enjoyed 😁

Thank you Sponge :D

IJJosh: I 100%'d Alan Wake
Alan Wake DLCs: Am I a joke to you?
Great video as always
Thank you Raptor!

Love this game so much haha. Hope you enjoy it when you play 😊
You shoud try to platinum endiling extincion is forever.awesome video keep up the good work.

Congrats on the platinum bro

Thank you Case! 🙂🙂
Yeah I love this game also I’m excited for Alan wake 2 as there no issue for me as I’ve been all digital since 2014
fair fair
Just platinum’d this game including its DLCs today. Great video. Hope you’ll do the dlcs too
Will definitely look into doing the DLCs :)
15:06 I wish I can say the same but I’ve never hated collectibles this much just because they don’t tell you what your missing so I’m currently stuck at 99 coffee thermos and I’ve been looking for it for like 3 hours
Should have paid more attention to your guide
I wasn’t the only one who had this problem
Need to play this game, didn't play the original version so with it being on PS+ I've got no excuse
GET IT DONE!
I love this style of content keep it up
Thank you again Stampy :D

Will always support the indie games with digital only releases. But a Triple A Game doing it is unacceptable
First video watched and really enjoyed it. Glad I’ve found a good British trophy hunter. Made me want to play this next. Liked and subscribed also. Good work!!
Thank you Tom! Hope you enjoy your stay :D
Nice bro! Never played Alan Wake and looking forward to starting my Plat journey for it! :D
Hope you enjoy :D
I absolutely love your videos
Thank you man!
No worries man anyway when are you gonna do your next lifestream
@@nightwinggaming-9785 hopefully soon. Work schedule has been all over the place the past week haha
OK looking forward to the stream
I never played this when it originally came out. With it being free on PS Plus, may have to play myself and go for Platinum
Good luck 😄
Another GOATed video, and I totally agree, needa physical copy.
Thank you so much!
Unable to do this. The 2 speedrun is broken. Ps4 freezes up every time. Gave that up. I had it on the 360.
I understand their reasoning for not having a physical release so they don't have to have a playable build weeks before launch but surely just put out the physical release later then? They could release the game digital first and then have the disc version go out a few weeks later.
Agreed
good job man and first
Thank you man!
Physical forever 🔥🔥
Not supporting digital only releases!
Agreed
yo great video but i gotta know, are you gonna palt final fantasy 16
Yep :)
Hell yeah I actually trying to get the platinum trophy of this game
Wish you luck 😁
I play on PC so I am used to digital games.
Amazing Josh, I think you should Platinum a Call Of Duty game, Cold War is a great option because it's free for the PlayStation Plus 😎
Debating whether to do Cold War actually haha
Modern Warfare Remastered is more fun and no multiplayer trophies to mess around with 😂

@@IJJoshYT Jesus. It's no wonder why a lot of people have fallen out with them.
It's not just a lake it's a ocean
Its called Cauldron Lake? haha
Awesome game
Sheesh you chose to platinum Alan wake💀
I dare you to platinum OUTLAST ii i already unlocked the messiah achievement all achievements can you do it bro 😅😅
The game is awful so probably not lol
@@IJJoshYT lol I understand you can't skip cutscenes lol so good answer
much prefer the longer videos great content
Thank you :)
Do guardians of the galaxy
Is high up on the list to be done
To be fair getting rid of physical media saves so much on plastic and waste it has to move in that direction. How many of us have 20+ plastic cases were not recycling or getting rid of??
just convert it on a disc
I also will not be purchasing Alan Wake 2 because there is no physical version
Hopefully they change their mind
But what's your reason for not playing digital?
Cause I like to own the things I buy
@@IJJoshYT But you own the digital version as well. It's legally yours and you own it

I have one question before i platinum this game, is it scary?
Its not the scariest game I've played but it can definitely be creepy at times. Note that I usually jump at everything in horror games haha

I really have to play Alan Wake never got the chance to do it since I'm a cheap son of a gone and wait when they are on a good discount
Hope you enjoy 😁
Alan wake is s8ch a fun cam and i agree it is an underated gem
Brilliant game haha
@@IJJoshYT very true
I buy exclusively digital copies now but i just got a ps5, june 2023, and i still buy the disk version. Even though i dont own any game disk anymore. 🤷♂️
Yeah I’m not happy about it coz it’s gonna happen to all the new games that release in terms of the physical game stuff at the start love ur stuff j
Thank you Jag
@@IJJoshYT funny enough my real name is josh too
What no physical how do I miss every gaming news
Nope. Makes me so sad
Digital copies of games earn more money
Its not under rated its 10 out of 10 ign
They rated it a 9 and the remaster a 7...
Probably gonna check this game out I’ve only heard good things
Would 100% recommend!
Hi josh im planing to upload videos like you and others i i need help to edit and like the quality for the video i only got a phone and my ps5 and im trying to invest on youtube to but a laptop to edit videos there and have it as a job it would mean allot for me and my family if you help me love you bro
Have absolutely no idea how to edit on phone man. Never even attempted it. Sorry not much help
@@IJJoshYT will sharefactory work?
@@IJJoshYT am I too young? (13)
Watching this just because i played the demo on xbox 360 when i was young
My bad I'm talking about the other version, Alan Wake's American Nightmare
I miss the American Nightmare DLC haha
@@IJJoshYT you should 100% the dlc if it has achievements as well
Wait? How old is this Video?
There is a Physical Disk for Xbox only the PC is pure Digital
That’s the first game. I was talking about the sequel?
@IJJoshYT me too.
The last news I got about Alan wake 2 was that there was a mistake, only PC will get a Pure Digital Launch with a Code in the Box.
But There will be a Physical Disk for everyone else.
@@delischeslp6109 nope that’s false
