Please tell me you're more intelligent than that...
...please.
Seems a lot of people here don't download a lot of PC games. 13GB....ok...shrug.
Just so you realise, the file sizes for those "free" games on PS4
Contrast 2.3GB
Flower 1.8GB
War Thunder - 5.8GB
Resogun 460.8MB
Warframe 4.2GB
Dead Rising 3 Update - 13GB
Yea .

It's really weird how all Xbox owners seem to have crappy internet connections, but PlayStation owners have the best connections going.
Big patches appear for Xbox games "oh my god, what are they thinking. There goes my monthly cap..etc etc"
PSN+ has free games every month (some of which are huge) "PS+ is the best service ever, I love it"
Bandwidth and game download sizes never seem to get bitched about in the PSN thread.
13GB for a patch is huge, even in PC land.

Not in a world of filled Blu-ray discs it's not.
Also, I've downloaded some massive HD texture packs. I expected huge patches this gen. It's a given as games get massive beyond last gen.
Honey, I WISH this was a 13GB HD texture pack
What PC games are spitting out 13GB patches?
Can you name one PC game patch that is more than 13GB? Seriously.
The vast majority of PC games don't come close to 13gig. Even the AAA titles are usually 4-8 tops.I don't think many PC games have 13 gigs of patches. For the entire game, maybe. Probably even more than that. But for a PATCH??
Edit: And not even DLC too.

Time to let the last gen mentality go. We're going to see some big patches folks.

I had to "install" forza again to play it on the weekend for some reason (disk based version). Turns out installing means downloading like 30 gigs. Mad.
Looks like ill have to wait till next month now to play dead rising. Yay.
In future, games that need these massive updates are simply being traded in.
Is this Mandatory?
Its not Mandatory right
yeah, i *almost* made a thread about this. i was playing the game, went to the map screen, and was prompted to download the update after being on the screen for about a minute.
the crazy thing is there was no way for me to continue playing without downloading the patch. now, i'm waiting for it to install and i have a good feeling that all of my progress since the last auto-save will be lost once this is done... get your shit together, microsoft!
Lol, that would be nice. It is Capcom.
How often do you pay attention to the background updates of your Steam library? I've seen some big ones. I already pointed out HD texture packs too.
I'm not saying it was the norm, I'm just saying we're moving towards bigger ones. It's why I'm not even slightly surprised.
My install went to 56% in a few minutes, and now has been stuck there for several more minutes.
Is this Mandatory?
Its not Mandatory right
Whoo 57%. That's 1% in almost 15 minutes!
It's so mandatory that it boots you out of the game to download it.
Well, this can't be any more frustrating than installing Burnout Paradise on a PS3. That will test you.

Ouch. I still need to open and play the game, so backed up . Is there an intital download install update also for me waiting?
Ha , I so remember that :/
Is this Mandatory?
Its not Mandatory right
Surely not.
Surely.
It's 13GB. How fast did you think it would come down?
5 years ago this would have been insane. I remember 1GB PS3 and 360 demos taking FOREVER to download on my 6mbps connection. That was the fastest speed available at the time. I remember downloading the demo for "The Darkness" and it took about 9 hours.
Luckily I get 105mbps with the same cable connection now.
Wait...so when you put a disk in it downloads the game from the store instead of installing the disk version? Presumably to get the latest version of the game I guess?i seen some video floating around with someone who was complaining about this. he noticed the disc install taking way more time then it should shave and that the router was going crazy. he pulled the ethernet on his XB1 and noticed that the game started to actually install from the disc. this sounds like the same thing.
They're gonna have to do something for folks unlucky enough to have caps.

13GB?
So.. 15 minutes.
That's not too bad.
But, yeah, if you have a small cap, that's gonna hurt.
I may have missed it, but what is this update even for?
