I can't imagine being a console gamer these days. PCMR or not, we're all gamers at heart. There was once a time when playing on a PS2 or a PS1 didn't make you want to weep in the corner, and it made just as much sense to play games on consoles.

What the flying fuck do consoles have going for them now? This may be a biased place to ask, but honestly. I once thought bout a PS4 for a media gaming device WITH FRIENDS, you know, the whole idea of a console?

"Wanna play co-op with a buddy? HAHAHAH BUY A SECOND COPY MOTHERFUCKER. We support 4 players on this console, but the game developers sure as fuck won't!

Wanna play online with your buddy, ok, pay us...every month, or every year. Why? Fuck you that's why.

Wanna have an effortless plug and play experience? Fuck you up the ass consumers! What did you think you were going to do, play your games the second you open them up on Christmas morning? We REQUIRE you update the console AND the games! Doesn't matter if you want to play it alone in single player mode!

You can at least be safe knowing your console will last 6 or so years playing all the neatest, latest games without ever needing new hardware like a PC! HAHA, JUST KIDDING! We found out it'd be more profitable to cut corners like fucking mad! You'll now experience sub par graphics the day you open the box! We don't innovate our consoles to out perform the other, we make them exactly the same so developers will release their games for both of us!

Now bend over my loyal legion of supporters who stayed with us since 1995! We're going to make you love us!" Sony Exec.

Halo 5 has also been released for over a year already and the developers have constantly been releasing new, free content for it. New maps, new unlocks, the latest update actually added an entirely new game mode. All for free. So ya 45 GBs in updates over a year is all the free stuff that was added to the game.

Given that you can stuff 25 or 50GB in a DVD, why would they need to download everything. Or are discs now a days just a txt file with a key?....

MarshalMazda · 1日前

Isn't this the same as PC though albeit a bit longer than updates on PC. Windows has system updates, especially after first boot. You also have to update drivers on PC which could somewhat relate to the updating of controller software. And installing games + day one updates are a thing here too BTW.

juggalonumber27 · 21時間前

I don't own any of the consoles.... are "controller updates" really a thing?

I mean to be fair all he did was plug it in and play. After a long wait.

He didn't have to manually install or update anything or configure anything.

A few months ago, I decided I wanted to play Gran Turismo 5. I mean, I have a g27+playseat, might as well use it.

It was a Sunday, I was a little hungover, and I figured it would be a good way to kill some time.

Between system updates, restarts, game updates, and the time it spent waiting for me to "press x/PS button to continue", it took 8 hours before I could play.

Did like 4 laps of Nurburgring and was bored.

Digital online game sales on consoles are still a complete disaster. Couple WiFi cards made by the lowest bidder alongside a network infrastructure seemingly held together with sticky tape and prayers and you get chronically slow downloads. Add to that a system that requires separate install process after downloads and makes you download updates separately rather than incorporate them together and you've got a recipe for hours of frustration.

Steam has it's shortcomings but its nailed this aspect for years: just bought a game and are installing it for the first time? Here's how long it'll take to download, this includes all updates since release, and when we're done it's pretty much ready. Might have to check your DirectX version but that's it. Game needs an update? We'll download it when you're not playing online. Missed 3 updates in a row while you were on holiday? We'll download the whole lot in one go and you'll be ready to go again in a few minutes. Here are the release notes for what we fixed. Download going to take a while? Turn off your PC and it'll resume from where you left off next time.

I bought an xbone for Halo 5 and this perfectly captures my frustration with this system. Not only does it take a miserably long time to install the game and install an update, I have a shit connection making the download itself of the update painfully slow. I got the xbone on a friday morning and couldn't play until sunday afternoon. What a joke this system is... But hey at least I get muh halos.

If this updates at the pace of the fucking windows 10 anniversary update, you might as well come back the next day. Seriously Microsoft how does it take 4 hours to download an update when I regularly get download speeds of 10 mb/s.. and why won't you show me the download speed?!

At this point, you may as well build a PC.

At least when we install a game, it's ready to play (most of the time)

Can confirm... bought an XBox One and NHL 17.

Took ~4 hours from set up to me playing my first game.

I moved. My new place has only internet in one room, my old self-built 2007 PC (which still runs amazing) has no WLAN card. So no more online gaming for me, which is fine as I don't find the time anyway.

We got an Xbox One instead (long time Halo fan, always knew someone with an xbox). My last consoles were a N64 and then a Gamecube. I was not prepared for it.

I haven't played on my xbox since christmas 2015, I still have to play through Halo 4.

Now there's an expensive blueray player beneath my TV because fuck that. I want to Plug&Play, that's why I had a console before, and that plus split screen coop were the only reasons for it. And then I read that Halo 5 doesn't come with split screen coop?! Fuck this!

Man I miss the PS1 and PS2. Developers knew they could only get so much out of graphics, and there really wasn't an online option, so they focused heavily on story and game play. I needed 4 CDs for some games, I needed memory cards which were sometimes lost, and the controllers weren't wireless, but the story line of some of the games pulled me right in and made me play for days straight.

Final fantasy 9 and legend of dragoon were both on 4 CDs and took me a long time to finish but it was absolutely worth it. At some parts I even felt empathy for the characters how well the story was made.

The first God of War was fun in the sense that I get to mash buttons to do combos and spill disgusting amounts of blood, but the plot was almost like an M. Night shamalalamabfjyugaydnhk movie with the twist at the end.

Now it's all just online garbage you pay for. With 720p and 1080p developers said "fuck it, make it look good and advertise it with some cool and popular song."

this was my exact reaction when i got my xbox one and tried to install the same game.

"oh hey, you need a 2gb system update, a 50gb game and then 50gb of updates for it, oh and by the way your controller needs and update and while you were downloading that another 1gb system update came out"

"whats that? you have 12gb of data for a month? ahh, go buy an xbox 360 you savage"

ryanvberg · 12時間前

Oh but your PC is plug and play; not even close. No matter what console or system you will always have to install most/all of the following: 1) OS 2) drivers 3) applications 4) games 5) updates 6)updates for everything 7)updates every time you boot up

That's just the way it is
