VelivolusDas Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 9 minutes ago, gecko89 said: I understand that. But, the previous post implies that if I buy a MW physical disk, I cannot stick it into a console and start playing only the Single Player Campaign. I get that the Multiplayer is unplayable without the patch or any update downloaded first, but the campaign is locked out because some patch is needed ?!? When did that happen before? AFAIK, CoD WWII also had that requirement. I have experienced that first-hand. Stupidity, if you ask me. The moment you enter the disc, you are asked to download the patch. If you load the disc while you are completely offline, you only get to the start-screen and the game tries to connect to the internet. I'm not much of a technical guy but somehow, it seems that the games that leave the factory are coded to run only after checking if there's any patch installed or not, I guess. High-level incompetence on the developers part, if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You literally can't start the game unless you download the patch. Wow, I had no clue about this. Didn't buy any of those games physical. It's f**ked up. Either they start burning games to disk before they've gone gold or some other weird reason behind it. Do they at least advertise on the game cover saying day one patch is mandatory to play even the single player campaign ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Still don't think it's justified, though. A dev who has just shipped a game, the least it should be able to do, is play through the entire campaign of the game. I understand there might be bugs, which a day-one patch can sort out, but the game not running without a patch at all, that's insane.

KnackChap Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 8 hours ago, gecko89 said: That's weird?! What if someone plays with no internet connected ? Can't they play the disc they bought ? Gives you an error. Basically unplayable without downloading a 200 gb (scattered patch) Basically goes like this. - Insert game and install - Mandatory 100gb warzone patch. - Select from a bunch of optional content patches which are 1 single player patch, 2 multiplayer, 2 co op, 1 survival mode patch. Around 100+ gb - install additional updates 50-100gb whenever they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened to me when I got a used copy of CoD WW2 on ps4 an year back. I was surprised that there was no information about this requirement in the disk case.

PhantomShade Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I think this was basically intended to stop on PC, so i think they left it on consoles also. till date MW 2019 hasn't been cracked on PC, and it is said it is all because of this mandatory patch, always online requirement.

SuperT Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Another PSN sale, there is a sale throught the year on the store. Good for us I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperT Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 10 hours ago, adity said: There is a sale round the year but some sales are better than others. Basically those themed sales like Christmas sale, summer sale, etc. typically have better deals than those random under xx rupees sale or whatever. Yup, the Christmas Sale has the best deals afaik. Keep 'em coming. Good for us, bad for our wallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever buy a game thinking I'll get it now for cheap and play it few months down the line. Games keep dropping in price every 3 months. So only buy when you actually wanna play. At least until the 1k mark. Games may not drop below that. Yeah I have started doing that now. My backlog kept on growing so eventually I just stopped buying games for playing at a later date. But I am guilty of picking up one or two if the deal is too tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had added 100$ in my wallet (from @AL PACINO)in 2014 and it still hasn't gotten expended in its entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
