Less passion.
More marketing.
$$$

I even get ads on my phone now too. Like, the fucking home screen.

buying shit digitally happened

>needing a manual
no casuals allowed

>>386170207
Yeah this sucks, it's not a PS4 exclusive issue either. Modern gaming just decided guides and maps don't matter unless you want to spend extra shekels for the SE.

>>386170353
Casuals dont even use a manual.
Stop trying to fit in, casual

>>386170207
Started sometime last gen. They're all digital manuals now.

>needing a manual for a nu-game

A few still have them. The Evil Within and Guilty Gear Xrd for example. It blows that it's become such a nostalgic thing now.

The manuals are basically half the reason I've been buying Nicalis' Switch releases.

Movies don't come with manuals.

A game that needs a manual is shit.

>>386170207
Its called suggestive advertising.

>Buy physical copy of doom for PC

>Literally a CD key, an ad for the dlc and a disc that had like 6GiBs of the game
>have to download the rest
Fuck that noise. I don't need a manual or extra goodies, just give me the full goddamn game.

>>386172163
The best part is when they fucking inflate the size of the game by an absurd amount so it takes a good 70+ gb.
Who the fuck are they trying to keep out of playing the game? Everyone?

>>386172387
It's because they are too lazy to decompress audio at runtime.

>>386172387
Well that sucks. One of the reasons i buy physical copies is because i don't have to download 50gb+ of shit. other one being that i can throw the disc in the lake and it will be gone forever

>those comic book manuals that came with MGS2 and MGS3
I dont think anything will top them.

>people ITT actually defending a lack of manuals

Underage plz leave

I just installed FF12 HD the other day on my ps4.
It took 40 gigs.
40 gigs isn't enough it needs at least 60 gigs of confirmed space before it'll install without errors.
I had to delete the witcher 3.
The witcher 3 was 70 gigs.
Ps4 has plenty of games but you need to keep fucking deleting shit to make room for more.

Games don't need to cram their game under 50 mb anymore. The shit that used to be in manuals is now in ingame menus or tooltips.
There is no big jew cosnpiracy taking away your booklets you fucking retards

>>386171038
What a retard

>>386171294
Sadly, as graphics got better and text became easier to display, manuals become pointless.
