I know this doesn`t affect most people, but 4-5 months each year im either working in the military or on a boat. These months I have very limited access to the internet, if any access at all. This isn`t something new. I`ve been working like this for many years, and was always very satisfied with using Xbox 360 "semi" offline. This was never any problem, because I rarely play online.
If Xbox 360 OS required any update, the update was always on the game disc. If I try to run a new game on Xbox One, I usually get this message:
"You need to update your console"
If this happens, there`s usually one solution. Wait months so I can update the OS.
At launch I wasn`t going to buy an Xbox One. But then Don Mattrick said:
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games.
After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again.
This was obviously a bunch of PR bullshit.
I also know that some games have massive day one patches, but this hasn`t been a big issue so far. Halo MCC 20 GB update is only for the multiplayer mode, so it didn`t affect me much. But happens when single player games doesn`t fit on one single Blu Ray disc? Will I have to download huge single player portions of games as well? Most of the games i`ve played so far have runned well without them. Dealing with bugs and low FPS is way better than a game that doesn`t function at all.
As I said. This doesn`t affect many of you, but im a bit frustrated at the moment.
his is Xbox One. (Took it from another angry user at the official feedback page)
