Fuck, 30 pages. Good lord.
You would think an install disc for the 20GB content would be a no brainer here. It can't have to do with the game because whether that 20GB of content is delivered via a download or an install is irrelevant. It's delivered. Surely MS can afford the couple of cents each Blu-ray Disc will cost.
There you go, starting some drama already. I did say, "I think (correct me if wrong)," because I was assuming these things because of the post from ambar_hitman that I quoted, & I even told the posters that.
You always like to start shit with me for no reason other than to annoy me, & it's getting old. Drop it.
You can download the BF4 patches in the marketplace for instance. I'll go with Frankie since he's pretty adamant about his stance and I haven't worked on the game myself.So I'm assuming the 20GB content patch will be available before release, since Dan Ayoub said we could pre-load it, so why not let EVERYONE pre-load the content patch?
Also why is MCC pre-load only 44.5GB? Store said it was 45.6GB for me.
Wow, that's interesting. TIL.MS likely doesn't have multidisc or installing non-executable installable packages (ie linking two separate installs together) ready yet, or even in planning stages yet.
They have no place gaming nor any form of media rich service. Why the hell would you put yourself on a cap unless you have no money, if that is the case then priorites need to be assesed with gaming being so costly. Unlimited internet is cheap so I doubt that is the case.
Edelman doesn't even do PR for Microsoft Game Studios lol.Edelman employee?

I assume the store size includes the Nightfall download?
Nightfall is a Halo Channel Stream is it not?

I thought it was however when I bought the MCC there was a Nightfall download as well as the main game. Wasn't very big, downloaded in about a minute.
You sure? A GAF member and friend was going to a Edelman Hosted MCC event
Nightfall is a Halo Channel Stream is it not?
It was like 10mb
Yeah but it and the skull pre-order are 20mb combined, nowhere near the 1.1GB extra. My friend's pre-loading and has the same download size so probably a store hiccup. Just wanted to make sure since a few are having MCC pre-load issues that mine downloaded correctly.
So the 20 gig patch is out? When will people who have preloaded start downloading it?No need to call bs. Anything is feasible, it simply wasn't practical for this product, this year in this timeline. The Xbox One platform continues to improve and mature, arguably faster and more meaningfully than others and maybe next year two discs or some other method would have been the right approach, but this year it's the option we have available that on balance, makes the most sense for this giant, ambitious project.
Do I understand the inconvenience and annoyance for some users? Of course. I'm not going to blow smoke or ignore it.
For some folks it will be straight up annoying and I both apologize unreservedly for the irritance, and hope that the package and the way it works more than makes up for it.
I've been playing the whole enchilada for a week now and the ability to sample, jump from aspect to aspect, customize with skulls and playlists has been absolutely addictive and mesmerizing.
I think I would have enjoyed a box set with the same fidelity, but the way it all connects has for me at least, made it more than the sum of its parts.
So while there are a couple of warriors in here with redundant agendas and concern trolls, I also get that 20 gigs is a fair old chunk of bits and it is not ideal. Most players will have a smooth and happy experience. The game will launch (including digital version) before installation is complete, so there is plenty of content to play around in while the red installs.
And we are continuing to look at ways to reduce that inconvenience.
I personally have pretty lame internet and I am doing everything via wifi, but my installation and immediate play were all pretty buttery.

Maybe they do, all I know is I go through a different agency for MGS games like Spark and Horizons 2.You sure? A GAF member and friend was going to a Edelman Hosted MCC event

Uh...I mean it's been said multiple times, if you pre-load you also download the update.So the 20 gig patch is out? When will people who have preloaded start downloading it?

Best solution I can think of is that when you pre-order a physical copy you get a code ala pre-order DLC to download the 20GB patch ahead of time. That way people with the physical copy can get a head start on that download and won't be swamped with it come launch.

I agree. There's way to much of that in the "gaming community".
Did you read the EULA? Those are your rights. End of Story.
They could just let anyone download the patch from the store. The patch will be useless if the person doesn't have the rest of the game that you have to buy, so there's no reason to restrict who can download it.
Thanks for posting this. I personally am not affected by the patch and I am very grateful that this product exists.No need to call bs.

They could, but attaching a code to the physical version ensures people who are actually intending to buy the game are the ones downloading the sense. Doesn't make sense for MS to waste space/bandwidth/whatever by putting it out for everyone to download.
Move it all to an external? That's what I did with all my games, they're on my 4TB external so I can take them to my friend's house and we can play anything I own.
Can't you do this by installing to an external harddrive?
You've got a hell of a lot of nerve acting like you're a victim here. Like clockwork, as soon as something negative shows up for anything Xbox/MS related, you show up to add your "voice of reason" to the discussion.
Your post history in this thread alone has you backing up posters who claim that this is lazy, greedy, or anti-consumer.
Give it a rest already. Your schtick is known.
So people are only allowed to respond to you if they agree with you? Get of your high horse dude.I don't care what you think of me, because I "don't act like I'm a victim." I'm sure you're no angel here, either.
Also, don't be singling me out here, just because I'm putting out my opinions about Microsoft fucking up, or are not putting their consumers at heart first. There are plenty of posters out here who think that way as well.
If you don't like what I say, or if you can't say anything nice, then don't fucking bother posting to me. Period. You, Louis, or anyone else. I'm sick of this shit.
So people are only allowed to respond to you if they agree with you? Get of your high horse dude.
I'm tired of posters around here treating me like garbage just because I have certain opinions. Enough is enough. How would they feel if they were treated the same way? How about they give me the respect that I give them?
Ask yourself that same question when you call the developers greedy, or anti-consumer as they read through the thread.
yessir fully agree. kind of booty everyone who didn't preorder digitally cannot download this as soon as it hits.Best solution I can think of is that when you pre-order a physical copy you get a code ala pre-order DLC to download the 20GB patch ahead of time. That way people with the physical copy can get a head start on that download and won't be swamped with it come launch.

cause other retailers had better preorder incentives
If you don't like what I say, or if you can't say anything nice, then don't fucking bother posting to me at all. Period. You, Louis, or anyone else. I'm sick of this shit.
Oh my goodness. What in the world is going on in here...
Boy oh boy -- anyway, it seems like this whole situation may be (and I'm assuming) due to the possibility that the Xbox One can't treat two installed discs as one item or in this case, one game. Guessing that functionality will come soon but who would have thought that a game at this early point of the gen would already be more than the size of one blu-ray disc? So yeah, I'm thinking the 20 GB content download was the only way to get around it.
I could be wrong though of course but I just remember how basic the Xbox One was at launch in comparison to now and how some very basic features that weren't there at launch.
Edelman employee?
Crappy and lazy huh.All I said was, is that the way that Microsoft did it is crappy & lazy. And everyone else around this thread is saying the same thing (or worse). But you & some other posters here like to single me out & start bashing me just because it's convenient for you & some other posters out here. OK.
Uh...I mean it's been said multiple times, if you pre-load you also download the update.
Crappy and lazy huh.
Also, this is the first time I've addressed you. I don't know why you'd include me in this drama. Unless your implying it's wrong to discuss things on a discussion board and disagree with someone. In that case, guilty as charged.
There are much more respectful ways to go about it though. It's a give respect get respect back sort of thing.Yep, right back at my first post in this thread here.
I'm sorry that I went off on you like that, & I apologize, because it's not your fault.
All I'm asking from posters everywhere here, is to start treating me fairly, & with respect. If people are gonna start bashing me for saying what I said, then start getting on them as well.
Respect, & equal/fair treatment. That's all I ask.
Patch isn't out yet.I have the game preloaded and it is still only taking 46 gigs of my hard drive.
Yes. You have earned everyone's respectYep, right back at my first post in this thread here.

They've said that it'll come out before release and that of you have auto updates enabled it'll download.
From Stinkles post, that seems to be the case.
What's Edelman?
