2 hours and only 75%?! And I thought the PS3 install times were bad.
Why haven't we had any more complains about this?

Has anyone ever been able to install a game from the disc without:
- Having to wait for an hour and/or
- Getting bizarre progress bar bugs and/or
- Getting stuck at 100% and having to reset the console?
For all Xbox One games, I always do the following:
1) Go to network -> Go offline
2) Put in the game disc, start installing
3) wait for the ENTIRE thing to install (get to 100%)
4) go online
5) start game, update comes up
6) download patch
7) Play game only after entire patch is downloaded.
Yeah, it's the Xbox One's worst characteristic thus far. Phil Spencer said in the recent IGN Podcast Unlocked that they're working on it. I'm doubtful it can easily be fixed if it is a hardware issue.
Since a lot of people might be buying Xbox Ones in the next few months, I think a lot of people are going to bring this up as a problem.
Install times are pretty slow compared to PS4 from my understanding (can't say for sure cause I don't own a PS4) and I believe they've said they're working on improving that aspect.
I did!
I don't know how common it is, I've never done it and this thread is the first I've heard of others doing it.Wait, this install dance of hopping offline is common? That's crazy!
Install times on the PS4 is seconds, not minutes, let alone hours.
Pop the disc in, you get a little progress bar on the game tile on the main PS4 home screen, and after about 30-45 seconds, you can start the game.
So when I get an XB1 with Halo MMC, am I really looking at a 1-2 hour install, then have to download 20GB day one update before I can play it for the first time?
Holy fuck.
Phil said this will be addressed. I know there isnt a Dec update but i wonder if they fix this before next year so all the people buying in the holidays dont see it as their first experience. weird since MS is really good at software and getting things working fast.
This is not really true for a lot of games. Some will let you boot the game after a minute, but you can only access a small part of the game.

Install times are laughably bad on the X1, I'm sure it's something that'll be addressed though. There shouldn't be any real reason they can't get it on par with PS4
PS4 has a chip built in the hardware to make installing games faster. I highly doubt you can mimic That with a software update.

“So, what we do as the game accesses the Blu-ray disc, is we take any data that was accessed and we put it on the hard drive. And if then if there is idle time, we go ahead and copy the remaining data to the hard drive. And what that means is after an hour or two, the game is on the hard drive, and you have access, you have dramatically quicker loading… And you have the ability to do some truly high-speed streaming.”
How has it not been addressed with all the updates it's had? Given how simple the end-user fix is, you'd think it'd be relatively easy to fix.
That hasn't been my experience in any of the retail PS4 games I own.
Initial install in under a minute, boot up game, then play it. I've never had to wait for further install ever.
What PS4 games have you experienced this in?
That's one thing I love about it, pop in game and you can play it within 2 minutes. Wonder why MS didn't implement this tech into their console.

It's definitely ps3 like in the downloading department
Seriously.
What the fuck is up with this shit?

It makes no sense.
Hell, I'm trying to install Sunset Overdrive here. It gets to 9% after one hour. I then pause and unpause. It goes up 9% to 18% instantly. After that, every single time I pause and unpause it goes up 9%, all the way to 100%. When it does get to 100%, it gets stuck.

Those are a lot of hoops to jump through just to start playing a game quickly.
not really its turn off wifi, install, turn on wifi, update.
