[Steverulez]

Is there a day one patch? If so, that is more than likely your problem, for some reason when you're downloading a game and the day 1 patch it goes slowly. When installing off a disc or downloading always say no to day 1 patches.

You guys had a month to preload. Why would you wait till the last minute?

The world just was not ready for Emergence Day

Because reasons.

I was considering picking up and Xbox One and this game, but the prices of the console has actually increased over the last 2 months? Back in June I could have gotten the Halo MSC bundle for 300€ in Sweden (only console was 280€). Today the console alone costs 330€? Wtf has happened?

I keep thinking that the system won't be god damn horrible with installing stuff. Maybe I will finally learn my lesson.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

10 minutes folks!

 

[pizzacat]

12 more minutes

 

[boredofcanada]

I'm really hoping there isn't some massive patch

 

[ShutterMunster]

Somehow had $28 dollars of store credit on my XBL account (I literally have no idea where it came from) so I used it towards the Deluxe Edition. It was still 4 dollars cheaper than regular edition so why not?

 

[robotrock]

14 more minutes!

 

[Mollywhopping]

Maybe it's downloading slow because so many people are trying to download right now.
I pre-loaded 2-3 weeks ago and it didn't take as long as you guys are describing.
I have 50 down, 5 up.

The world is ending. I am stuck in forever time.

Curses to all you digital people, I have to wait till noon!!

Spoiler

Have fun!

Almost exact same situation here.

20 pieces of DLC was still ridiculous to see in my download queue but I was always a sucker for Gear's skin packs in the past so it's nice to have them all right from the get-go.

Maybe it's downloading slow because so many people are trying to download right now.

Mine's just slow because I'm downloading Until Dawn at the same time, lol.

 

[ctfg23]

Is there any way to check for updates for a preloaded game? If there's a day 1 update I'd rather start downloading it now.

 

[Eclectic Jabber Monkey]

I just inserted my disc copy to begin installing it and it told me there is 1GB or so update to download. Not bad considering what we've seen the past few years.

 

[mohsinkhan]

There is a day one patch can't remember the size though (a gig?)

 

[Broadbandito]

Who's looking to stomp some MP. hit me up GT: Broadbandit

 

[SirMossyBloke]

A patch? Dag nammit.

Edit: no patch

 

[Rocketz]

It's time!!!!!!

 

[Ballistik]

Going in!! Unlocked

 

[Broadbandito]

[tokeedasmokee]

never been more jelly in my life.

 

[malfcn]

Adam Fenix needs an update?

 

[hammertomb]

This opening cutscene is remade right?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

i shouldnt be this excited for a remaster/remake lol.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Damn game is looking good.

 

[Ballistik]

Never really streamed before except for a few times for fun, guys can watch if you want. Direct from the Twitch app:

[Hawk269]

Well usually these remakes are just graphical and audio upgrades..for me the big thing is the extra 5 single player levels over the original 360 release.

 

[Blackstarhat]

i shouldnt be this excited for a remaster/remake lol.

me neither but ive never played gears and i need more games for my xbox. it looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Conezays]

Up for me.

Just to clarify (and I didn't know this before), it sounds like we won't get the 360 games till later in the fall when Backwards Compatibility is officially released? This is different than Rare Replay in which the 360 games are available to play now, etc.

 

[Broadbandito]

got some MP going

 

[Mollywhopping]

Aaron Griffin needs an update apparently. Weird.

yeah you get them in November once they allow BC for all the consoles.

 

[BusterJol]

Already feel all the people who ever played a Gears before.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

We live baby, all that juice! Time to pop some newbies in MP.

 

[malfcn]

Garbage team the first match. I hate random team mates.

 

[Rocketz]

Won first match and it ran smooth as butter.

 

[-tetsuo-]

5 hours and 51% downloaded. What year is it.

 

[malfcn]

Headshot and I get a nope sound?
People are already quitting like babies. FUCK.

 

[Conezays]

Too bad. Game is looking and running great though.

 

[tokeedasmokee]

Huh. You can choose which to prioritize to download, singleplayer or multi. That's awesome.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Holy crap, it's finally updating. Had a hell of a time getting it to Update.

 

[malfcn]

I forgot how aggravating it is to be on a team of scrubs against another team.

 

[emrober5]

I still don't understand why it takes so long for disks to install on XB1...

Really want to play this tonight.

 

[Altered Juice]

Gonna need to see the weapon skin list asap. But concerning to see people raise the roof at the official forums over the "gold" skin which is used the same texture as the yellow skins that were given out during beta.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Been stuck on updating 100% for a half hour. Restarted the console twice

 

[def sim]

Gears multi is still a lot of fun. I'll check out the single player campaign later on.
