I'll always buy physical (with a few exceptions ) until physical dies. I'm very old school and I like having a collection to gaze at. Plus there's trade in value and discs are less expensive.
I'd just treated myself to a custom made P.C just before this game released from Special Reserve - remember them ? It had 2 Voodoo 2 cards running side by side. It was a powerhouse for the time and Q2 looked amazing. This iteration just improves upon it so much. Well deserved score.
Never used to have any love for Mortal Kombat during the 90's - far too much button bashing and no match for SF 2 but it got better with each iteration.
Day 1 for me...still think Street Fighter is the best though.
I know all-digital is probably only the next gen away but I love physical games. The feeling of going to a game shop/waiting for the disc to come through the letterbox will never be replaced by a download.
@RetroMan71 I haven't tried it yet mate but I will. I'm playing a real retro shmup at the mo - Radiant Silvergun on Series X. I already own it still sealed for The Saturn.
I'm old...so very old and I've own many of these games and loved (most of) them. Now, however, I just can't find the enthusiasm to go back to those clunky old days when there's so much brilliant stuff these days.

Re: Review: Quake 2 - A Beautiful Revamp Of iD Software's Seminal Shooter Blasts Its Way Onto Xbox Game Pass
I'd just treated myself to a custom made P.C just before this game released from Special Reserve - remember them ?
It had 2 Voodoo 2 cards running side by side. It was a powerhouse for the time and Q2 looked amazing.
This iteration just improves upon it so much.
Well deserved score.

Never used to have any love for Mortal Kombat during the 90's - far too much button bashing and no match for SF 2 but it got better with each iteration.
Day 1 for me...still think Street Fighter is the best though.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Be Interested In A Digital-Only Xbox Series X?
I know all-digital is probably only the next gen away but I love physical games.
The feeling of going to a game shop/waiting for the disc to come through the letterbox will never be replaced by a download.

The End.
