[EatChildren]

Enjoy your 59GB download.

Behold the power of Australia.

 

[brickarts295]

It's finally happening.

 

[Valkrai]

Ouch 600 kbs :/

Downloading this is painful for me, and I have 3mb/s...

 

[cyberheater]

Over a day to download a game. Wow.
Is your internet speed that bad EatChildren?

59GB. That's a impressively large game.

 

[RK9039]

Good, by the time I pre-load the game it will be release day.

 

[Kriken]

See you in two days Eatchildren

 

[Mitch]

Recently downgraded my net at home, since I barely use it.

450 kb/s max, I think. Maybe I'll skip out on getting the game...

 

[SliChillax]

4mb/s here. I can't believe the day has actually come, seriously.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Ugh, GAF, I'm going to buy this game for the third time, aren't I?

Spoiler

I FUCKING AM, DAMMIT

 

[BPoole]

I'll leave it running overnight. This game is massive

 

[dex3108]

I will post reminder here too.

You will need 125GB of HDD space for Steam Pre-Load. Steam needs double space for decryption on release day.

 

[careksims]

You think that's bad. It's gonna take me half a week to download this. Still, I'm glad I skipped the PS4/XB1 versions. I wanted to play the best version out there!

 

[Mister Negative]

I'm mad at myself because I preordered from gamestop because I had a gift card but now I cant preload and I'm not even sure if the gift card has been applied to the order.

 

[JaseC]

Enjoy your 59GB download.

Behold the power of Australia.

Your download speed is the same as mine and we both live in Australia. Are we the same person?

 

[_machine]

Hah, just pre-ordered the game and checked if the pre-load was live and there it was. Good timing, my 3G will cry sweet internet tears (luckily no download cap on it though, and it'll still pull nice 2Mbs).

 

[JigglesBunny]

I'm mad at myself because I preordered from gamestop because I had a gift card but now I cant preload and I'm not even sure if the gift card has been applied to the order.

Is it possible for you to cancel the order, have the funds refunded to the gift card (if it was used anyways) and then order Steam Cards through GameStop?

 

[Red Hood]

I'm not doing a lot better with my 1.7mb/s. Grrrrrrr. I want to switch to fiber internet, but they still don't have that in my town.

 

[Valkrai]

4mb/s here. I can't believe the day has actually come, seriously.

I know. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was delayed yet again. It better be worth waiting so long.

Over a day to download a game. Wow.

59GB. That's a impressively large game.

IIRC wasn't Max Payne 3 a little bit smaller in space than GTA V?

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Holy Fuck I had no idea that this was 60GB, guess I'll start preloading soon.

 

[Akai__]

RIP in pieces Steam Servers.

 

[Krejlooc]

The most badass thing is how I can, from work, tell steam to start pre-loading at home.

 

[JaseC]

IIRC wasn't Max Payne 3 a little bit smaller in space than GTA V?

Significantly smaller. ~29GB pre-load, ~35GB install.

 

[EatChildren]

Your download speed is the same as mine and we both live in Australia. Are we the same person?

Maybe we live in the same apartments, next door to each other, and have all this time.

 

[ClaptoVaughn]

Good, by the time I pre-load the game it will be release day.

That'll be perfect timing, then.

Spoiler

So you can start downloading the 10 gb day-1 patch.

 

[dreamfall]

In my veins!

 

[Valkrai]

Ah I see, thought it was 30s-40s

 

[JaseC]

(It's not exactly the same thing, but, hey.)

 

[Phil4000]

Finally! We better get the next Rockstar near the console release next time, not 2 years later.. and where the hell is Read Dead Redemption while we are at it!!

 

[Necromanti]

I forgot this was still coming out this year. Guess I'll wait and see if reviews are favorable.

I still hold hope that RDR will come. The demand is too high for Take-Two to ignore. I mean, it wouldn't sell a further 10 million on the PC, but a port would most definitely be a profitable venture.

 

[Mister Negative]

Possibly. I hadn't thought of this. Let me try it!

 

[CHC]

This is really it, eh? Wow

 

[Kezen]

Great. One of my relative is streaming 1080p content so my DL speed is no less than twice as shit as it normaly is.
700 kb/s currently.

I'm stuck on Wi-fi on top of that.

I'd buy it but why haven't they ported it to PC yet ? I mean it's been 5 years.

 

[Wandering Ronin]

I love my American internet sometimes.

ed: It's 9 hours now, something went wrong before.

700KBps is what I get on an exceptionally good day.

For some reason I thought that you could not do that with preorders, only released games.

 

[Valkrai]

Possibly. I hadn't thought of this. Let me try it!

That's what I did. I had credit at Gamestop, got steam cards and preordered it on the steam store. Preordering a PC game digitally there is annoying, you have to download their app to get the key to redeem it.

 

[Red Hood]

[Tizoc]

Luckily for me I have unlimited download bandwidth
unlucky for me, my Ex. HDD has less than 200 GB left on it :V

Come on GAF, tell how crappy it runs on your PCs and lappy toppys!

 

[JaseC]

That's true of Steam Community's basic download management system. He's presumably accessing his PC remotely.

 

[coolmast3r]

Nice. The big thing is almoooost here. 7 days left...

 

[Lingitiz]

I really don't know if I should buy this a third time. Played through the PS3 version about halfway before giving up due to the technical flaws...bought the PS4 version and played the intro but not much past that. I really want to dive deep into this game but not sure if it's worth buying it again or just playing the PS4 copy I already have instead.

 

[Kezen]

700KBps is what I get on an exceptionally good day.

It's now at 46 kb/s....First world problem.






Okay, okay, OOOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAY.
You win this time piece of slime, offspring of a motherless goat, son of the devil, Baphomet worshipping fuck, you win.
Time to refund and order a physical copy, I just can't go through this shit.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Australias from different realities are merging across the multiverse, and only an attractive blond Irishwoman can save the day

Possibly the plotline of the next Mass Effect

 

[kejigoto]

I wish it was next week already so I can start playing this.

Out of curiosity, what was the estimated time at that speed?

I'd buy that. Even on Origin.

Thank god Valve allows third-party content servers.
