    some of the updates are pretty hefty and for me who has a data cap limit and is in a country with shoddy internet makes these even more of a pain.

    Review embargos?

    For Wolfenstein at least you didn't buy it for the PC and get hit with a mandatory 10GB patch.

    OP the last get games where not huge like XB1 are. The simple days of patches are gone. If half the program need fixing. It needs that much data to fix it. I think it time for ISP have better connection with no cap on it. Because now of days. It hard keep
    under the cap when PC and consoles data files over exceeds the limits that can be downloaded.

  5. ^^^I would argue that if half the program needs fixing when the game is released, the devs should be fired. My 2 cents adjusted for inflation.

    I had more problems with my 360 and PS3 the years I had them than I have had my whole time I've owned my PC.

    Only ppl who don't know about PC say PC is a buggy mess.

    I hope it doesn't happen to often with new release games. A 10 gig update is ridiculous.

    What's all this talk on welcome to the new age of gaming and these patches are normal? No game should need a 10GB patch on release, none.

    That is crazy. The patch is bigger than most full games last gen.

  12. Gotta say the XB1 has way bigger patches then the competition, it's ok because I have decent cable. Without decent cable and using your phone as a wifi hotspot renders the xb1 unplayable online. I do believe many of these include DLC that you may not want
    anyway. I couldn't find any difference with DR3 and the 13gb update tbh

    What is with the 10GB patch updates?

    People want high fidelity sound, 1080P/60FPS + graphics, long storylines, and games that have lengthy replayability...Sorry, that will not come in 500MB game sizes (unless Pied Piper is real, and not in a story)

    Updates are FAR more bigger for everything than I've experienced on Xbox 360. Updates can be very annoying and time consuming especially if you have only normal ADSL Broadband speeds and if you live in a household with a monthly data cap. But it's best to
    stay up to date. With Xbox 360 you have no option but to download it if you want to play the game and stay connected to Xbox Live.

    If it was a perfect world no game would require an update, but it isn't. Developers have dead lines just like a lot of people, and the developers can't keep on delaying a game until it's perfect.

    Look at Battlefield 4, should it have been released in that state? No, but should it have been delayed for nearly six months? No.

    At least with the ability to download updates games can be fixed and updated, before this they couldn't. Colin McRae on the PS1 was renowned for being buggy, and if you drove a particular car on a certain course, it would crash.
