Remember when you could buy a game and play it immediately???

[jadillac]

You were super excited to get to the store, buy the game, rush back home, tear it outta the plastic and put it in ur game system.

Now you get a game, and gotta wait 20 mins for a damn OS update just bc you haven't turned system on in a couple weeks. Then you gotta wait 15 mins for the game to copy itself to the hard drive, and another 20-25 mins if theres a patch that needs to download and install.

Wth man. I'm from the old school, i just wanna play my damn game instead of looking at an progress bar.

I'm an adult and what little time I have to play games is being wasted

[jadillac]

I gotta rep this. I barely play games anymore and when I do there's always a fukking update

I say this everytime I cop a new game.

I done ironed 3 sets of clothes for work next week, about to do the dishes, and I'm STILL waiting for RDR2 to finish installing

 

[Fatboi1]

yeah... but new games are MUCH bigger.

I could counter and say I don't remember being able to download a game a week before it launches and at midnight being able to play the game immediately.

abacabb

 

[Beer Drinker]

Truth.


Don't fukk around and cop an older game either. You looking at 2 hours of patches easy.

They need to start working on a technology that removes all this shyt or else people will stop gaming. I know there have been times when I didn’t bother playing an old game because all I wanted was a quick session but don’t want to spend half an hour updating shyt.

 

[Pit Bull]

Lol at 15 minutes if I downloaded Red Dead right now I wouldn't be able to play it until Monday or Tuesday. My shyt take a whole weekend to download.

The 360 gave us an option to install the game on the hard drive for faster load time. I swear I thought next generation would be even faster.

This generation went backward with the load times.

Don't even get me started on that bullshyt quick resume that never works.
