Remember when you could just buy a game and start playing?

[KingJay]

This shyt is absurd these days
nikkas will buy a game and have to wait a day to play the damn thing
I haven't played CoD in years, bought Blops 4 to play zombies with the homies, finish like a 50gb download, start my game, and see the shyt wasn't installed all the way yet
Check my downloads, see that I'm like 37gb into a 94gb download

I can understand it if you're downloading shyt off the store, I bought the damn disk and still have to put up with all this

shyt is unacceptable, modern gaming is a joke

edit: update on page 2, the struggle is real yall

That's what happens when gamers want graphically intense games that are super rich in details.

I remember when broken or terrible games were just stuck that way.



Buy more indie games and you wont have this problem.

Just had to delete my 100+ GB RDR2 for a NBA 2k19 update

So when I play it again I gotta wait hours

shyt is beyond ass

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

shyt's just taken all the spontaneity out of gaming

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

This rarely happens with the Nintendo switch.

Upgrade ya gaming life.

Why didn't you just buy a new harddrive and mirror it so you don't lose anything.

Well the bigger games get the longer it takes to install.

I can see streaming games taking this thing out

I've made this thread before.

But yes, it sucks to be super excited to play a game and then be hit with an update that's gonna take overnight to dl

 

[Tunez]

Wait for 50gb download or Ben Simmons jumpshot

 

[Chris Cool]

you bought the shyt 9 months late. Of course it's gonna be updates.

only if there's affordable super fast unlimited data cap home internet. these lil nikkas will stream their parents into $2000 internet bills.

Yea man I’ve mad several thread on hating having to install/download games before you can play them. Takes all the fun away and it’s annoying.

 

[Diondon]

Went to fire up Ghost Recon Wildlands aint play in a minute. Pow! 21 GB update. Man I shut that shyt off
I could imagine GT Sport

 

[Auger]

set your games to auto update, keep your console in standby so they download in the background

Not really an issue on switch

It is a bytch with both Xbox and PlayStation tho. Best way around it is preorder-predownload then download the inevitable day one update

Remember when I got spyro remastered for the kid and this shyt was like a 63GB install WITH the disk

Update was another few gigs or some shyt too
