You being serious?
Reason I ask is that's what the Borderlands 2 compatibility packs were.
Yay for half an hour of installs PLUS patches if you ever feel like playing a game again!

Most multiplayer games have OPTIONAL compatibility packs for download. They're not usually forced in title updates.

Thats the only option at this point and time right? I thought the Xbone didn't let you uninstall or manage your own disk space?
And say you decide to do that, to uninstall Dead Rising 3 for instance, if and when you go back later to reinstall it, will you need to reinstall the core game as well as all of the updates? Or will it be one reasonably sized download?
So for this patch in particular - what's the deal? Is this a mandatory patch or not? Are you asked if you want to download it, and can you just say no and keep playing?
You can not download it but you won't be able to use XBL while playing the game.

So... its mandatory then? I guess so ;P

That is insane! Are they making everyone download dlc (whether they will buy it or not) or is it really a patch? 13 Gb is insane even though I have fast internet without a cap, this just seems wrong.

It's like the 360 which would boot you offline if you didn't download.
I played borderlands 2 co-op and it never "forced" me to download dlc. If I didn't have dlc downloaded and some one else did it just wouldn't let me play in their game. It never jumped to main menu and made me download it though and if I didn't lock me out of the game.

you realize when you reinstall it will just be the latst version of the game right? and not all patches.
You can uninstall games and apps. It also tells you how much space each takes up. It just doesn't tell you how much overall HDD space is filled.

Sure it let's me load the game at 67%... then it says "Unable to load save file. Please wait for install to complete."
Boy there really isn't any info on the dashboard on what you're auto downloading is there?

You mean the maximum possible connection your ISP provides is not necessarily what Xbox Live will provide you for download speed? So what about all those people claiming that this patch is a 15 minute download?
Why not? What is MS afraid of here? Won't the internet let you know exactly how much space you can expect to have? Is this some sort of "hiding behind lack of info" situation?
I think Sleeping Dogs used to do this. It used to piss me off no end.
For some people it can be a 15 minute download. Depends on the CDN near them and various other factors.
It is the same reason you can see a thread full of people complaining about slow PSN speeds and then another one with everyone saying they have no speed issues.

Hmm, the update doesn't keep update if I put my Xbox into Standby mode? I thought that was a feature, or is my brain just inventing obvious features that apparently aren't there?
I have serious doubts about anyone getting the 115 mbps speed from MS on their downloads. It sounds to me like someone doing speed check on their ISP and then doing the math to claim that they will receive their game downloads in that many minutes, not factoring in the fact that MS won't give you your entire ISP worth of bandwidth on your downloads from their servers.
It hits a playable point before the download is finished.
Ok cool, but that's not what people were saying. They were saying shit like "13GB, so 15 minutes for me, that's totally cool" and I'm calling BS on those statements that they will get 13GB from MS in 15 minutes. I don't care what connection speed your speedtest shows, that's now how fast MS will be allowing you to download you updates.
Woops, nevermind then. I see what you mean, thought it was about something different.
It's a lot to force on everyone, yea. Same with how much of a shock anyone going DD only is in for as a lot of games are going to be ~50GB. People who don't want that can go for disks, but giant updates like this still screw them.

Wow, Resogun is crazy small. They must have taken inspiration from those European procedural demo's that are mere MB's in size
Actually you're right. Some Housemarque people come from the demoscene.
Do you want game updates to routinely expect 13GB updates before you can play the game, especially games that kick you out of whatever you're currently doing in-game in order to download the update?

I remember some of those, super impressive. 64KB is what they were. Not even 1/10 of 1MB.
Lol, I was gonna post this too. Looks like even if it's ready to play you can't actually load a save until it finishes.
Capcom pls.

What the crap? That's unacceptable! That had better all be new content not just a crappy patching mechanism
I guess thats why they have standby mode to download updates while you are not using the console.
I seems a bit big though for a update.

It seems that the patch only is part ONE of FOUR according to http://www.gamepur.com/news/13382-xbox-one-exclusive-dead-rising-3-gets-massive-13-gb-patch-changelog-awaited.htm
Also it doesn't seem to make the game install bigger on the harddrive, which is good, I guess..

My mom gets 15GB per month. I guess some people need to turn off autoupdates if these are the expected update sizes.
Your link is 404'd for me. If true though, holy gat damn patches bat man.
Off-topic, but man... that explains a LOT. In a good way, obviously
You know, there is such a thing as too much porn.

I couldn't believe he works for MS, so I had to check out his twitter to make sure. Low and behold, he actually does works for MS... I can't help but find this comical.
This console is quite the calamity, I think. How do you regress in functionality from the prior gen when they set the standard with regards to updates??? Boggles the mind.
I'm curious tho, are you allowed to play as it installs the update?
