Something Doesn't Seem Right With This Post But I Can't Quite Put My Finger On It.

I'm just playing School, and ya switching discs doesn't really bother me that much either. I'd prefer not to, but in the end it's only 10 seconds.

I don't mind switching disc either, reminds me of the good ol' Final Fantasy days. It was an achievement in itself every time I got to the change disc screen.

Forget His Feelings, XbOx 36O is Ruining This Game! Didn"t They Cut The Content To The Game Only Having 2 Wasteland Because oF XbOx"s DvD9 (7.5)?/?

Lol he's a "Specia"l Member.

However, the last disc is so packed with end-game cinemas that there isn't enough room for the universe worth of content. That means if you want to go back to a planet from the beginning of the game to complete a side quest, grab an item for synthesis, or look for bonus bosses and dungeons, you'll be prompted to insert one of the previous discs.

Guess the recentish 3-DVD game!

Swapping DVD's isn't so bad when it's at two or three preset points (maybe after major transitions) during a lengthy game but returning to an earlier location and coming back causing two DVD swaps is unforgivable.

The other danger is large open-world games becoming not so free and open-world, blocking off places you should be able to return to, working round technical limitations resulting in a less obviously inferior product.

edit:

There is no original Japanese voice track included. Again, these aren't game killing oversights, but they're still oversights.

It's truly a shame that the Japanese voice work didn't make it into the US release. The lip synching in cutscenes is painfully bad with English dialogue and the voice work itself is not good. Some of the characters are just plain annoying to listen to.

This shouldn't be such a problem for RAGE but you can see how capacity is even more of an issue with certain types of game where fans expect the original voiceover.
