lol, I'm just laughing that I guess the VERDICT is my warning about the Armored Core V games was fruitless.

Enjoy the PS3 Update Patch Simulators.

I found this little warning fantastic.

Xeogred: Verdict was absolutely terrible, just a bad game
Exhuminator: Great, I'll buy it right away

Great stuff.

It would funny if 10 years from now when he gets around to them, if they will even be playable? Servers and all that will probably be offline and I didn't get the vibe Verdict was playable offline in any capacity. He bought bricks!

That's very possible. It'll be just like Splatoon for the Wii U which I can't imagine has much life left.

Not the worst idea ever. I've been buying less physical games and more digital lately. Much cheaper for the retro stuff.

Splatoon has a shitty single player, but it technically does have one. Now games like Destiny and The Division will be LITERALLY useless years from now.

This fact one hundred percent influences my purchases of games for modern consoles. I will not buy a game that only has online multiplayer. The experience will be fleeting

If you have friends that play and the ability to setup private servers, it's less of an issue. But if the game relies solely on a company's servers, yeah, eventually it will be unplayable unless someone figures out a way to do private servers, such as has happened with Ultima Online.
