Quote from: Gatortag on October 05, 2016, 03:40:41 PMThe Witcher 3 with all extra content downloaded is just under 70GB.Battlefield 4 with it's patches and DLC rounds off to around 100GB. That's a fifth of my console's internal memory.I dislike that the current gen consoles are favouring gamers who live in urban centres who have access to 4G/20Mbs+ internet so downloading 4GB patches isn't that big of a deal. Meanwhile in bumfuck nowhere, Wales, I'm stuck with waiting a few hours to a fucking day for it to download with a psuedo-internet blackout.At this rate, I'd rather go back to LA Noire's 3-disc system than this migration to digital copies.

Quote from: challengerX on October 08, 2016, 01:41:01 PMWhat type of Jewry is this? Games look 10 times better on PC and they aren't 75 gigabytes plus 45 of updates.Even then, on PC people can swap out their hard drives to a bigger one. And from the information I have, you'd have to buy a new console for increased hard drive space which only adds a measly 500 gigabytes. Can you at least use an external hard drive to store/run games from on the Xbox One?Console developers have never been as good as PC ones.To my knowledge the xbox is also the only console that allows you to use third party external hard drives for it. So you can grab a cheap 3tb seagate and use that if you want.

The DVDs that X360/ PS3 games were printed on could only store about 6GB of data. Blu-Ray discs can store about 45GB. That, combined with the increased quality of textures, audio, and so forth mean games are a lot bigger. Factor in DLC and endless title updates and games are pretty big.

Factor in DLC and endless title updates and games are pretty big.I can understand DLC that came after the games release or separate from the "Vanilla" disc itself need downloading, but with Blu-Ray holding 45GB why do I now have to download it to my current gen console too?On '360 the only games that required a download-before-play were multiple discs, IIRC games that were at the end of the last gen's shelf life, (Dragon Age 2, GTA V) understandable if they needed 12GB of data to run at peak for old hardware.Hell, looking at my Steam library I see Vanilla Fallout 4 comes up at 26GB with all the bells and whistles that the PC brings (Extreme graphics), while it's PS4 equivalent has a disc and a 40GB download for the game I presume is at lower settings. What in blue blazes are Sony formatting this shit in, Katakana?!I buy physical copies because the best network infrastructure in my area is shite and unreliable, a mere upgrade from dial-up, so digital copies (and most PC games nowadays) are out of the question. I'm not sure if I should be focusing my frustrations towards the UK's shitty broadband and fibreoptic coverage, the push by the console gaming industry towards digital copies, lack of storage space and hardware limitations, or all of the above.
Blame it primarily on console developers being shit this generation and putting crap hardware and crap Operating Systems in the consoles.

Fuck off ZoroSpoilerAlso saw that episode where they met Brooks the dinner part got me good
Ahh don't worry I've forgotten so many plot points of one piece that I'm actually considering reading it all over again, but that's what happens when you wait for each new chapter of the manga to release. Jesus christ how long has it been?!
