Maybe I'm too old for gaming

I come from an age where you cop a game, come home, pop it in and play.

Not with xbox one. I cop a game. Pop it in. Oh, the system needs a software update. Ok, it takes me 10 mins to download the software. Can't play the game yet though...have to install it. So I install it and wait....and wait...and wait. 45 minutes in and I'm at 20% download for this $90 game.

Someone come pick this thing up.

I couldn't imagine waiting months for GTA: San Andreas just to have to wait 30minutes for patches and installation.

I woulda went crazy. Now a days, I just hop on the coli

a good thing about Steam is that you download the game and all updates/patches in one step. that way you avoid this situation where you think you're done, only to have to d/l a bunch of other crap to play

If your installing a disc, disconnect your system from the internet. Makes the game install WAY faster.

because you're not getting the updates/patches. but then you might run into whatever bug the update was supposed to squash

Nah, you'll still be forced to get the patches and all that once you connect back. BUT, the game itself wont take so long to install.
