Using DVD games is still better than buying games from the store, think if one day your home can't connect to the internet, DVD is still the best choice.
Yeah I still like buying a physical game -- but I dont know if its any "better" these days -- heck one of the ps5 models doesn't have a disc drive. If you cant connect to the internet -- thats literally what this video is about -- you can still play any games you've downloaded. So in that regard its no different, digital or disc. Any game you didn't download obviously a disc would be the better option (you cant download a game with no internet). But then if you have no internet - you cant download any patches - and like we see with Cyberpunk 2077, that game was broken off the disc. So really, DVD based games arent any better these days if the internet goes down. Or if you use 2 PS4's like i do, on my non-primary console if the net is down i cant play my digital games. But on the other hand, I have my nephew on the other console (in another state) -- any digital game I buy, he basically gets a copy free. So i basically only buy digital now. When am I really not going to have internet anyway? (during a power outage when I cant play my console anyway?). A few days after a move? But any downloaded games still work. So there are pros and cons to both digital and physical. Modern games are so multiplayer and online heavy - whether thats a day one 40gb patch, or an always online component, that not having internet even makes disc based games pretty crappy these days. And if Xbox gets its way, we'll be streaming games one day soon anyway. Not to mention many modern games dont even get official physical releases these days, some get the "limited run" treatment at best. So yeah, i dont think its black and white anymore, id say ps3 era and before you could definitively say discs were better, I'm not so sure in the Ps5 era.
Honestly I bought the ps5 disc edition specifically to play my games without internet access it won’t let me open any Application without enabling offline play and to turn that on I need internet access it’s sooooo stupid
I have a PS4. I only play single player (AC Odyssey) or local multiplayer (Crash Team Racing, PGA) The day they completely abandon split screen and offline players will be very sad...
Yeah it would be sad if all games were just online multiplayer games. But thats not up to the consoles, its up to the game makers/developers. And there are still tons of couch co-op games being made. And Sony has said they are really sticking with the single player narrative games like God of War and Last of Us, so i dont think it will be an issue? The biggest games of the year in 2023 on each console are single player games (Balders Gate, Starfield, Zelda). So I think we are safe :) But this video isn't about online multiplayer games -- its about "can single player games (like you enjoy) play offline when PSN goes down". And yes you can play your single player and couch co-op digital games and your disc based games offline (as long as they arent online focused games or "always online"). The guy I was talking to on Twitter said you cant play single player games when PSN goes down, his were disc based even, but digital games will work as well. In my example I cant play the digital games offline - but that is only because this is technically my "back-up" ps4 since Im sharing games with my 6 year old nephew on my other playstation at his house. But if you have just one ps4 you use, yeah all games that make logical sense to work offline will work offline. A new game wont install patches etc, but again common sense that they wouldn't.
@@squidracerX yeah I have Internet I just don't want to play online with other people. The only exception I make is For Honor. But story mode games are the corner stone of the whole video game medium.
Only play offline and will never be interested in playing online. the day they force everyone to be playing only online is the day they lose quite a few sales with console being included. 🥴
Yeah Im not an online multiplayer guy. But that being said -- that time is pretty much here already -- big games like Fortnite are always online, Gamepass has me streaming newer Xbox games on my old Xbox, Switch has Streaming only games even. So we aren't forced to play "only online" right now (in all cases), but there is a % of big named games that requires online, a % of styles of gaming that require it (streaming and live service games), and just about everything needs patches (which you dont need to pay for online for -- but you do require internet - which is the point of this video). Plus there is a pretty good swath of games that are only available online off the digital store - digital sales are higher than physical sales on all 3 consoles now. Have been on PC for a decade. So like it or not -- online only is probably what next gen consoles will be 100%. Gamepass will just be an app on your TV, and you wont have a new physical Xbox next gen is my bet. (maybe some storage device for downloading things at most).
@squidracerX Well, then my gaming days are numbered because I seriously have no interest in playing games with others at all 🤣😂😆😭💀☠️ and I will never support games that come out unfinished and use Internet connections along with downloads to fix their problems that you clearly do pay for. Psn is not free.
@@gems8426 - If you have a PS4 you are already in that generation that releases unfinished games - If you have a PS4 - you are 100% supporting games that come out unfinished and use Internet connections along with downloads to fix their problems. Call of Duty was like 1GB on the disc and 100GB download. So you're already there!!! Gaming days not over! :) Keep playing! It is a crappy trend, but its here to stay, and physical is going away for good soon. Its like PC. But really, you are confusing two issues. This video is about digital PSN bought games running without PSN being able to connect to the internet to verify the games, and then having no internet - will the games run? (short answer, yes). PSN is very much free -- PSN is Sony's online store front where you purchase digital games. PS+ is the multiplayer component, and thats not not free. -- they are different things. So you have to pay for PS+ to play multiplayer games -- just dont do that :) But with modern games -- with no internet connection - there would be many games you cant buy, many games you cant play, and many games you cant update. That's true right now. -- Connecting to the internet to update them and buy them is free though, and you're on the internet on UA-cam so even with a slow connection you can just leave PS4 in rest mode and download what you need to update the console. I mean the console itself has updates you need to download. Has since PS3.
Well I don't use my pc anymore, I prefer to use web browsing on my ps4. Now I know this browser is not the fastest one, but it does okay enough for me. Also, I don't have to get up from my couch, and if I have to type a lot, I have my little Sony wireless bluetooth keypad (The one that was designed for ps3 controller, and I still have it and it works on ps4 too :) so it's a win-win situation. Never complained about internet connection - it is simply made to make our lives easier.
Essentially PlayStation became what they marketed to fight against and ultimately went the Xbox route. I actually have two PS4 consoles in the same house. A PS4 Pro and a standard PS4. Part of the reason I have two PS4 consoles is because of storage capacity. With my digital games, it takes a lot of time and effort to download games, make sure theyre updated AND stay under a data cap from the ISP so having two consoles helps prevent that, AND I HAVE A LOT OF GAMES!!!! Also, because I have to budget storage space, the games on my PS4 Pro are all games that are Pro Enhanced while my PS4 console has games that are not benefited by the Pro at all so, I have to store them on two separate console. Both consoles as of present are maxed out with a 2TB internal SSD and a 4TB enternal HDD and yes, both are maxed out so, unless I want to keep having to delete and redownload every time I want to play a game instead of just firing up my console and going like I can my cartridge-based consoles, this is what I get. And if my internet goes out? Yeah, Im just stuck. Its stupid. Sony went the Xbox route after all. You have to be connected and you have to check in and authenticate every so long or you get this. What consumers opposed of Xbox, PlayStation inevitably followed right along
As long as a game doesn't require an online connection, then a physical disc will work. many modern games though do not have the whole game on the disc. So you will never get the entire experience or most up to date version of a modern game without an internet connection -- these updates are free though, you dont need PS+ to download an update for a game. But yeah, buying physical really is pointless these days unless you like seeing the box on the shelf. Many Switch games come as cases with a download code inside the box now. No cart at all!!!!! I do still like physical myself, I have 3 friends borrowing games right now, and you can resell them.. Plus they tend to go on sale more than digital games often, or steeper sale.
Please help. Does anyone know how to play a game disc without Internet?? I got games but cannot play. It just says connect to Internet. I dont have Internet
I have got far cry aswell. I put it in. Just says go 2 Internet. U put your disc in then u say "I am gonna go on line 2 my settings" ??? I not on line. I disabled, does mean alot 2 me. They just moved me into care home so 😢so I don't know bollocks, bought new ps4 bought a dozen games..😮can't play em. Feel like throwing damn thing out window. So frustrating. Sorry guys. Not happy 😢 love & peace & all that. Paul. London.
You may need internet if the entire game isn't on the disc. But I haven't heard of that with the older Far Cry games. Ubisoft is a very weird publisher though with a lot of "always online" services (like the Division is unplayable without internet). But that shouldn't be the case for the dozen other games? Is this not a game specific thing but a console thing? I am pretty sure you have to go online at least once with an xbox (at least last gens xbox), but I dont think a ps4 has to update or anything, I know people keep it offline when they want to keep older firmware. It should just say that online features arent available? But yeah I dont have a new ps4 to test out the initial set up without internet on it, sorry i cant help! Did you buy a used ps4 and maybe it has a messed up hard drive and needs a firmware update? That's the only thing i can think of.
Bro i have a doubt like in ps5 we need to copy game from disk using internet..like this is ps4 also need internet to copy game from disk one please reply
I just tested it on a PS5 myself, I turned off internet, put in a sealed copy of Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. And it worked fine!!!! No internet needed to install it or play it. But yes -- common sense says as time goes on, more and more games have become too large to fit on a single disc. If the game is not entirely on the disc, then obviously the disc will need to download data from the internet. But many games are still completely on the disc. Like Double Dragon here. Version 1.0 unpatched obviously. I know thats why some collectors buy Ultimate editions, so the DLC is ON DISC. And obviously even discs that have a playable version on them will still need to download patches and updates. So if there is a playable game on the disc, no you will not need the internet. But to play the game in its optimized version you will want internet. Like I may be missing a downloadable character here in Double Dragon now for instance. Obviously you want to update games, and no multiplayer modes/functions will work without internet obviously. But like Ive said in other comments -- this video is not about not needing the internet -- heck some consoles now are 100% digital. This video is about if you have your games updated and installed, on a ps4, and your internet goes down, can you play your games. And as long as its your primary console, yes you can! But now we know if the internet goes down, you can still play your games on your PS5 as well, and install many disc based games as long as you have a disc drive and disc!
No clue, Ive never played a Fifa game -- but logically any "always connected to the internet game", live service games like Fortnite, or game that isn't all on the disc -- you need the internet to play. So if Fifa requires updates and a constant connection (like Ubisoft's the Division), if there is no single player base game on the disc, then no it wont work. But if there is an unpatched single player version that you dont have to be on EA servers to launch, then yep! its why owning modern games on disc becomes more and more symbolic - finished games are rarely on the disc and you need day 1 patches now... you see physical boxed switch games sold that are literally just cases and inside the case is a code to download it, no cartridge ha-ha
@@squidracerXI bought a ps4 a few weeks ago and now I decided to use it lol, anyways I need help with downloading games, I need free, low GB, offline really entertaining games, do you have any types of games I can download?
If you have only one ps4 then there is no reason to not get digital -- as i say in my video - my digital games are only locked when I go offline because this is my 2nd PS4, my nephew has my main one -- digital games stay unlocked on your main ps4. You just set it to "primary". I dont do that because this way i can share my games with him. I buy 1 copy for both of us to share.
Well so i guess is not worth to buy ps4/ps5 if i dont have any internet connection right?i love ps2 era when u put disc and just play till the end without any internet required and update required that how real playstation should be i guess i stop playing console now it is what it is👍
First off why can you afford a PS5 but not basic internet? I mean you can have the most basic cheap internet service and still download patches. And youre watching UA-cam videos and posting online. So im not sure how you have no internet? Do you mean the paid services? (PS+ and Xbox Live?), because you dont need to pay extra for online connectivity for updates and downloads. But yeah if you have no internet -- Some switch games are literally a code in a box now - so no internet would literally mean no game. But thats not just console. No PC games are physical now, so you'd need internet to play any Steam or Epic game - even GOG which lets you download the game would need an initial download. Even mobile gaming you're just using your phones internet -- so technically all gaming is internet required these days!!!! The PS4 and PS5 do play offline, and do come with discs in box. As long as you are selective and avoid multiplayer games - as I said in previous posts MOST games will have a playable version on the disc, and all you'd miss out on is a patch or DLC. Id think a PS4 especially is still very much worth it and 99% of disc based games you'd be fine.
