Next-gen PS4 titles could take close to 50 hours to download according to broadband site Think Broadband.
The Nerd Stash: “The letter scene in Grandia is a magnificent, layered early example of the game's wonderful NPC interactions, and a real tear-jerker.”
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
And it'll only take a few minutes to walk into GameStop and buy the disc.
Guess what, I'm taking the physical copy. 55 hours of waiting is a pain in the ass. But PlayGo functionality exists, the play-as-you-download stuff, so do we really need to worry? I hope that PlayGo works well. Anyway, prepare your bandwidth and good luck.
I will mainly be picking up retail versions personally. But, I mean is that right? It took me 15 minutes to download & install the 1.7GB BF4 beta yesterday with my slow AT&T connection. So if my math is right it would roughly take me 7.4 hours to download 50GB's. That's not to mention I can remotely tell my PS4 what I want to download via an app while I'm at work.
Stop making a big deal over the small stuff.
United States infrastructure for Internet is nowhere near some of the other countries that have better connections. in Japan for instance even out in the boonies they have extremely good internet connections which we're only going to see once Google Fiber actually goes nationwide.unfortunately this is also going to cause a lot of problems with already existing internet providers considering that Google Fiber is going to be offered in such a steep discounted price and most peoples cable and internet providers are the same group. whether or not this will be good competition a bad competition is yet to be determined. but if anybody doesn't know what google fiber is just go to google.com and look at it it's pretty fast.
Buy it on Disk instead, problem sorted!
