What the heck is going on? Is my disc broken? Does it need an update? My PS4 is not connected to the internet right now so that is not an option.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Maybe it's still installing?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The only thing on the disc is the tutorial, rest of the game is an update

 

[myco666]

I remember the day one patch containing the rest of the game. Might be wrong about this though.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

It's probably installing dude, calm down and check the status.

 

[Bgamer90]

I believe you need to connect to the Internet to get everything else.

 

[Coketruck]

The game shipped with only the tutorial on the disc. The rest of the game has to be downloaded in a nearly 8 gig "update". Otherwise, you've just got a demo disc.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the disc contains fuck all and everything else needs to be downloaded.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Haha. Yeah, the game disc only contains a demo. You bought a demo. Enjoy!!

The rest of the game, a whooping 8GB, is an update.

 

[Senketsu]

Oh wow. What a rip-off! What is the point of owning the disc, then?

 

[Jito]

I more surprised anyone would buy the new THPS and complain about it. It's known that it's a huge pile of shit.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh wow. What a rip-off! What is the point of owning the disc, then?

So that you can sell it and never have to see it again.

 

[Coketruck]

Oh wow. What a rip-off! What is the point of owning the disc, then?

The same one as owning that game at all: there is no point to it.

 

[Bluth54]

Oh wow. What a rip-off! What is the point of owning the disc, then?

I think it's pretty likely Activision rushed the game out to meet a contract deadline.

 

[KojiKnight]

Oh wow. What a rip-off! What is the point of owning the disc, then?

Welcome to the future.

 

[Bedlam]

WTF? Almost none of the content is contained on the disc?

It's still baffling to me that stuff like this isn't illegal.

Is this true?! Does it explicitly state on the case that an Internet connection is required for the majority of the content?!

 

[xVodevil]

For MGS V on PC, the disc only had the fucking steam installer, only to dl the whole game.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Oh wow. What a rip-off! What is the point of owning the disc, then?

You will need something to take out your rage, disappointment, and finally, your overwhelming sadness on.

 

[The Cool One]

Can you even resell a physical copy

 

[superNESjoe]

I remember the game being on the disc, there's an option somewhere after finishing the tutorial to go to the next level. Look around, it's there.

Everyone says it required an update, but I played the whole game offline.

 

[Tunesmith]

Is this true?! Does it explicitly state on the case that an Internet connection is required for the majority of the content?!

It doesn't, there are no requirements for it to do so either.

 

[Fadobo]

As others said, the rest of the game is not on the disc. It actually had a 7+ GB day-one patch containing the (still very buggy) rest of the game. The reason was, that Activision had extended the license for 15 years after the success of the first game. THPS5 came out on from what I heard was literally the last day before the license for new releases expired, so it had to be rushed out and the game was not ready for manufacturing at the deadline.

Are you sure about this? Maybe they had a second print that contained the update?

 

[Kikorin]

Rest of the game is shit anyway, I don't even know why I've wasted so much time in it. I just wanted to see all the stages, butbwas all ugly.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I thought this was a joke.

 

[firenskill2000]

How so?

You pay $60 for a disc the game should be on the disc in a playable form. I don't care what year it is, "everyone should have access to the Internet" is not an excuse. This is criminal if true.

 

[bennibop]

Did the patches do anything to make this game any better?

 

[Rellik]

Some PC physical cases just come with a Steam code or the installer on disc.

Wow.

 

[Hasney]

Did the patches do anything to make this game any better?

No. Some bugs were squashed and I think they changed the way slam works a little, but the garbage level design would ruin everything even if it played like the old ones.

I want to believe this is all one big joke.

Holy shit.

Well now I don't know who to believe...

How so?

Because if this is true and someone without internet connection buys a copy of the game then they cannot play what they paid for. This should not be allowed.

Are you sure about this? Maybe they had a second print that contained the update?

100% sure. Played it day 1, without the patch on PS4, offline. I remember it being misleading at first, but just go back into the game.

You can continue without it. I recall being baffled at people saying you couldn't.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Hm...seems familliar...

 

[Bedlam]

How so?

Because consumer protection.

Sure, they may have a disclaimer on the box saying that an internet connection is a prerequiste for the product. That doesn't mean that this practice should be allowed.

I had the same thoughts when the "MGSV Steam installer on disc" thing happened.

 

[Chû Totoro]

yeah sorry OP

Welcome to the shitty version of the digital era

 

[superNESjoe]

If I remember right the game boots you to the main menu after the tutorial, and if you go back into play (and the disc is fully installed) the first real level is unlocked.

 

[GitarooMan]

I thought the only the tutorial is on the disc was a myth dismissed at launch. Anyway you want to patch it ASAP in any event to fix a ton of shit.

 

[superNESjoe]

It was, but alas the misinformation lives on. I think you literally just select play again after being booted from the tutorial now that I think about it.

Did you even try that OP?

 

[NotLiquid]

The only thing on the disc is the tutorial, rest of the game is an update

I'm actually using this gif in the most sincere way possible since I legitimately thought it was a joke about the quality of the game.

This isn't last generation anymore.

Look at games like Halo 5 and Driveclub.

I do think there should be a warning. Even BR is getting too small for games.

 

[superNESjoe]

OP, would you please come back and check again to lay this misinformation to rest.

 

[Gamezone]

If you can`t connect, also ignore the single player for Forza 5 (incomplete single player) and Quantum Break (no TV show).

Here you go. Very well explained.

I don't know about Halo but as far as I recall Driveclub had a completely playable game on the disc (minus online, patches and the arguably great DLC).

It had. And only the multiplayer is missing from Halo 5. If you don`t want to play Halo 5 online, you don`t need to connect anyway.

I don`t know what to believe anymore. A bunch of people are having the same problem as OP.

Google it. You'll find old threads on gameFAQs too where people confirm this as false.
