Games are being delivered only partially on discs and then you have 100GB download

"Contains a single disc. Download of additional files from Steam (total amount 45 GB) is required to run the game."

Fuck Bethesda. Fuck the new Doom. The complete game has to be included on discs in the box I buy. This ought to be an issue for consumer rights agencies. Bethesda did this bullshit before with Fallout 4 too and got away from it. I want my BDs and 36 MB/s transfer speeds. This is bloody stupid.

You know, there is a very simple way of solving this
voting with your wallet and sending a message by not buying crap jesus christ user WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

You wish it was only 45 gigabytes.

How unoptimized does your game have to be for a fucking first person shooter to be that big?

Lapland, Finland.

The tone of your post leads me to believe that you are more upset than is reasonable for someone who didn't purchase Nu-Doom.

Yes? Central Asian steppe is underdeveloped third world country territory.

This is how every id tech 5 game is with its mega texture bullshit. Every single item in the game has its own separate texture, so there's no way getting around the games being fuckhuge. Not that it gives any real improvement in visuals, because the actual resolution of all those unique textures is horrible because of memory bandwidth limitations.

You bought Nu-Doom didn't you?

...

BD-XL EXISTS FOR THIS VERY REASON

I wish it was distributed on a dual-layer BD disc so I wouldn't have to watch it download itself the next 3-5 days. At least the Rage was distributed on three dual-layer DVDs. I don't see a reason they couldn't have done it with this game too. It would have been five dual-layer DVDs.


Learned about it today. I might go cancel pre-order on Monday because of this.

Yeah, and? I live in Rovaniemi and I have 100/100 connection.

Way to inflate the amount of space a game takes up with bullshit that nobody will notice. And I'm assuming that stroking their own ego and attempting to put it out as a gimmick is the only reasoning for it as well.

...

>>>>>>>>>>preordering Nu-Doom

I have 1/1 connection. And that is the best I can have.

Damn, sucks to be you. Then again you actually paid for the DOOD so maybe you deserve it for being such a schmuck.

...

I still want my buddy cop show with Rider and Archer.

...

Why don't developers use this shit instead of multiple DVDs, or just one DVD with a CD Key and a Steam/Origin installer?

I believe it's mostly uncompressed shit, like movies and audio files that take up about 90% of the space. That and>>9268232 this shit. People are just too lazy to figure out a way to ingeniously compress all that shit so they just roll with it

I guess it would cost them few cents more to manufacture it. This is not good customer service.

Konami distributed MGSV for PC in a box that only contained a product key and a CD that only had a Steam installer on it. That was sleazy.

Get a room you faggots.


Your first mistake was caring about Nu.doob in the first place.

...

why would you buy DOOD you dumb retard

I agree. But then again it's the new Doom. (sigh) - Hopefully the Blackroom kickstarter will go smoothly when they reopen it.

Whats worse is that Fallout 4, Black ops 3, and Battlefront 2015 did that last year. I'd rather wait an hour or two to install it than wait for a day to download a new game. I just wonder if GTA5 at least included DVDs to install, Steam says you need 65GB for that shit.

Do yourself a favor and stop posting while you have what little face is remaining.

GTA5 shipped on seven DVDs.

Thank god, at least they know barely anyone has the patience to wait forever for that.

Stop posting anytime

...

...

HE HAS NO STYLE HE HAS NO GRACE THIS user PREORDED A BETHESDA GAME

Nigga, you stupid. It's retarded enough that you pre-ordered in the first place, but now you're just considering it? Fucking go find your balls, pop them into your pants and cancel that shit. Then if you REALLY want to play this steaming pile of shit pirate it.

...

Are they even planning to release idTech 5 under GPL after they're done with NuDoom?
NuDoom's supposed to run on id Tech 6, but I can a barely see the difference between it and the engine's previous iteration.

That was the right thing to do. Bethesda should do the same. There is also the aspect that this whole download-only thing will not preserve the games and we cannot see the games like they were at launch any longer.

GOOD! Maybe someone will use that to actually compress their already existing games.

Truly, you don't belong here.

meh, still gonna play it and try to have fun.

Embrace it OP. After all, this is the future you chose by supporting valve.

Valve has nothing to do with this?

...

Probably not going to happen since the John Carmack is not in the company any more.

The big selling point of the Mega Textures (Virtual Texturing) was to never have to see same texture again in game world. The id Tech 6 uses sparse voxel octree apparently and they've partially virtualised the level geometry with it. SVO could at least in theory give their level designers more freedom to do wacky stuff.

You're supposed to lurk before posting, user.

Fucking kill yourself

...

I say, OP is doing an amazing job of ignoring everyone laughing at him.

This is a good thing.

That way pirates don't get the first good version or get a glitchy version.

Pre-ordering a full priced physical title from a small local gaming shop that barely gets any customers and is the only one that exists in my town. I don't know about you but I do like to support my local small game shop.

Salty buyfags not welcome.

So you support them by preordering shit games?

Did your parents ever take you to a specialist to check out if you are mentally challenged?

I didn't know Doom was the only game they sold.

Yeah well, you can suck my clitoris.

This is what happens when people support a lower standard in games(steam). Now you can't even own your games unless you be a good goy and get steam.

That is the one I was interested at since it is an id Software title even if none of the original founders of the company contributed to that project with John Carmack being an exception. He apparently did the SnapMap thing before leaving to Occulus. By the way, what single-player FPS game would you recommend for this summer instead of the new Doom?

What a fucking waste of quads.

The waste of such dubs on such a shit post is almost as big a waste as Snap Map is on this turd of a game.

Serious sam (any but 2)

Painkiller black (the true doom 4)

UT 99 has ok single player

Turok 1 is on steam, turok 2 has a pc port you can find easily on google.

A vast majority of Doom .wads are going to far better than NuDoom. Here's a hint, they're all free

I've played all those games. Give me something that is new.

How does Turok hold up? Did it have multiplayer?. I remember playing the shit outta that game as a kid on a rented N64 cart.

I have pretty good unlimited broadband (100 Mbps) but what kills me is the TERRIBLE Sony servers.

Takes forever to grab something from PSN.

It's a decent game apart from some really shitty 1st person platforming and key hunting.

Internet is shit in 1st world countries, the infrastructure is set up like shit it always buckles under peak times because it's oversubscribed.

Only good country for internet is sweden, but you'll have to say SWEDEN YES everyday

You can have gigabit connection user. Doesn't mean shit if the server you're connecting to is Holla Forums tier crap.

Turok 2's multiplayer was ok, from what i played on n64. If you can get like 4 people on it, it would probably be better than nuDooM.

Remember those guys who preordered Aliens: Colonial Marines? Even the demo didn't save them, because it had more effort put into it than the actual game.
Remember the guys who preordered Battlefield 4? It took ages for them to make the game workable, because of all the glitching.
Remember the guys who preordered that shitty indie boxing game? I think is was called Punch Club or something, but they held the game ransom until people did a Twitch Plays Pokemon knockoff.
Remember Driv3r? Look up how amazing it's launch was, I can't do it justice.
Preordering is a really, really stupid idea. Take it from a guy who preordered Xenoblade X.

And don't give me the whole "But it's DOOOOM" nonsense. Duke Nukem Forever is a DN game, and it's shit. Burnout Paradise is a Burnout game, and it's shit. Halo 4 and 5 are Halo games, and they're shit. Paper Mario: Sticker Star is a Paper Mario game, and it's shit. Sonic 2006 is a Sonic game, and it's shit. Same goes for Sonic Boom. Even Doom 3 was a massive departure from the first two games, and isn't as good. The name means NOTHING, don't fall for it. If you want to waste your money that badly, donate it. At least that way your money is going to a good cause.

Reelism. Demonsteele. Project Brutality. Burl Tumd. GMOTA. Get these Doom mods and play them. I'll even give you a link to my Doom mod collection so you don't have to worry about setting it up.

It's not all games its just idtech 5

buy fucking something else thats actually good from then maybe??????

Who has a BD drive?!

I don't even have a DVD drive anymore.

Games are preserved forever on torrent trackers user.

ty for the link user

Man this is so true.

What game are you suggesting then? What is a "good" single-player FPS in your opinion coming out in 2016? You guys have been pretty hostile towards the new Doom and while it probably isn't what we wanted it still might a fun single-player game.

youtube.com/watch?v=ueRjbYdcXbs

Do you hax anii, OP?

Preordering games only supports bad practices anyway. What the fuck sense does it mean to pre-order something that doesn't need to be produced into a cartridge? There will be enough discs at launch holy shit.

At least on a storage-less console, they can't make dumb post-release promises. Once a game is done it's done

No, fuck off conformist faggot.

No, it is objectively shit. Go play some good fps.

It's Halo with demons.

jaykin bacon episode 3

Look at you just shilling away

Just because they shoehorn a few of the characters in and slap the name "sonic" on the box doesn't mean it's a sonic game.


Kill yourself you fucking hipster.

Suck my dick shill

We got a master baiter here, friends.

If anything you're the fucking shill here you tumblr faggot. Smother yourself in your fucking fedora you worthless piece of shit.

Go fellate a gun.

:^) oy vey

At least you admit to being a shill, faggot.

It doesn't affect me, yes. I don't pre-order digital rental of shit games.

Yes goyim i am shill now go buy gaem very good

Why sell disks if you have to download everything anyway?

Don't believe their lies.

I like his books and writings especially regarding operating systems and networking. Sneakernet is a thing no matter how much people laugh at the idea.


On game consoles you can just put the disc in and start playing. On a PC you put the disc in, install 8 GBs of data from it and then download the rest before you can play it. I think that this shit is not acceptable. If I buy a game on a disc I expect the full game to be on a disc. Bethesda's people defended this with "lol pirates" arguments when the game consoles have probably just as bad problem with unauthorised copies of games.


You could be more constructive by giving an example of upcoming good FPS.


At least you can carry all your weapons and it is faster. And there are demons. From hell.

...

If I meant to say it was faster, I would have said "Halo, but faster and with demons."

Seriously though, what is the reason for only having download keys or part of the game on a physical disk?

Is it some sorta dumb anti-piracy shit?

...

Game publishers/devs view used games no differently than piracy, simply because they don't make money off of it. Also they can get away with this shit because nobody really cares about having physical PC games for god knows what reason. Microsoft tried to do the same shit with it's xbone and got completely shat on for it, to the point where people bought PS4s over that shit..

The new Doom is 55GBs in size. Disc comes with some data but 45GB has to be downloaded. And apparently it is Bethesda's new "anti-piracy tactic". They used it with Fallout 4 as well. And you're correct about this being really dumb shit.

archive.is/DPYfX

...

You just shot your argument in the foot.

You've were trying to claim that buying shit games is justified as long as it's to support a struggling retailer.

Now you're trying to argue that it's actually because you don't think it is a shit game, crippling your previous argument.

Yeah used games is a billion dollar industry on consoles. But digital is growing fast on consoles too.

To be the devil's advocate piracy really was rampant on PC. Piracy was always a bit harder on consoles, usually required mod chips. So it is no wonder Steam and DRM took over PC gaming.

I'm assuming you're using wifi. The PSOnly4games has a terrible wifi card so you're better using an ethernet cable.

DRIV3R was awesome, despite the bugs.

That's not exactly a good crop

Pic related is why, I'm assuming.

It's why I would do something dumb to fuck myself.


Yeah, sure.

I didn't claim ITT that the new Doom is a complete turd. If that was what I truly thought then I wouldn't I have pre-ordered the game.

Sure, the new Doom might not be what I expected it to be. But that doesn't make the game automatically bad. And as far as I can see it probably is what I have to be satisfied with. People in this thread haven't been able to suggest a better alternative.

And in return we got Steam sales to compensate the loss of an ability exchange used games.

I need to go to sleep after this. It's almost 4AM. Thanks for the entertainment!

c'mon now.

sage

You implied it, otherwise your little "consider the following: what about the poor local retailer?!" would be completely irrelevant to the discussion as you would have pre-ordered it whether or not that was the case.

That's fucking disgusting. Might not even pirate it now.


Even mine pic related I can stick it on one of those pantsu mirrors if you want

(checked)
Valve gets a cut from every Steam game purchased.

(checked)
So they don't have retro games? Why support a store that doesn't have retro games?

okay shit here let me try to make a DooM game

you start out in the science installation Tai Tenga thing

so you're in the wrecked facility and demons are pouring out of everywhere. the more demons you kill, and the faster you move, the deeper into hell you go. just plinking away at an imp every five minutes won't cut it. the quicker you progress and the more you kill, the more labyrinthine, dangerous, and demonic the place gets.

And the kicker is it will probably have some form of DRM.

If I'm installing a 55gig game, it had better keep me entertained for months, and be the equivalent of getting good head.

Do you know how expensive these are per disc? I have to import mine from japan to get a good deal on them.

pirates will fix it

Don't worry, modding games will soon be illegal so those nasty pirates don't cause you any trouble.

I don't understand why people don't like pirates. They're not nasty or gross at all.

Almost as bad as shipping an unfinished game and selling you the finished product via DLCs.

I love this cancer is all over consoles to.


Its fucking ridiculous.

Does it really matter? The pirates aren't going to rip from the disc, they're just going to get a download and crack it as usual like every other game.

Does it force you to install 70 gigs of halo 5 or is that just the size of the blu ray?

It doesn't really matter as much if it's just the blu ray.

...

buy that new humongous hard drive goy so you dont have to worry about uninstalling games you dont play and wasting your bandwidth goy by the way goy buy the newest "plan" from jewcast come on goy its 2016 goy dont be a cheapskate

You have to install 70gb FROM the bluray

See, that's better.

what pre order goodies did they entice you with that you just had to have anyways?

These shill threads are getting fucking ridiculous. Plus, download size is one of the many issues with nuDoom.

Stop lying. You have a feminine penis

Faggots should just put games on USB drives or micro SD cards.

How great would it be?

Hehehehehe.
Find Nier Replicant torrent, then we talk.

Every movie watcher.

A survey that requires inquiry. Care to begin?

SDCard makers have to keep the price of SD cards artificially high even though it should only cost a few cents to manufacture a 16gb card

Any game that requires more than 15 gb to download or install is a sure way of me not only not buying but also not bothering to pirate it.
Good job.

They just don't care anymore.

See PSVITA, NINTENDO [3]DS, NEO GEO

holy fuck you are living in the kike matrix, get it through your head, get a realistic view of the world, and stop giving money to copyright profiteers whose business model involves literally pointing a gun at your head and the heads of your loved ones you god damn fucking traitor. Your general inferiority does not excuse your contribution to your countrymen's enslavement and when you are washed away in oceans of fire it will be justice. The ignorance that has carried your treasonous habits this far is willful, earns you less than zero sympathy, and I would shoot you in the fucking head for it personally if I could and if it would actually help anything.


whoops I got rused

Just ask Grandpa Frost for better internet, he lives right fucking there.

this is very thick but i like it, excellent bait, almost took it completely seriously

Yeah, but at least GTA V's disks actually include the actual game rather than just a key for Steam.

why not just play regular Unreal instead? it's the same thing with actual single player campaign.

Because with consoles you don't have a choice, 75% of the size is language files and uncompressed audio and videos. Without all that shit it would be more likely around 10 gigs

...

Is this that Winston Rowntree faggot?

hurr durr

This loser just needs to draw Sphinx porn and stop pretending his opinions are worth anything or are even valid.

I can tell it is him from the shitty art and font. He is one of those 'words words words' types and does not draw enough of his Sphinx character. I mean she eats people but does he ever draw it? Do we see them get fucked first?

Unanswered questions from a talent less hack who doesn't care about their fans.

Sure is a lot of projection and insecurity in this person. He needs professional help.

Have you seen how hideous he makes people? Why would you want porn?

Dude, it's fucking Rowntree. All of his comics are some kind of panicked "Look! I'm not mad! YOU'RE mad!" spiels where he portrays people who disagree with him as violent, stupid and ugly and himself as a huge, awesome cool guy with an awesome life where everyone loves him and sucks his dick.

You know how some kids at school would like… draw a picture of you, and then point at it, showing you a drawing of you having someone take a dump on your head? That's Rowntree, but he's a 30-something year old man who is obsessed with pop culture while simultaneously reviling it.

nobody uses discs anymore, most laptops are now sold without dvd.
Blue Ray are non-existant on laptops and extremely rare on desktops.

nobody relies on those shitty stone age devices anymore. Live in your time or die.

Sony wins again, babayyyyyyy

...

dont we already have lossless compression for textures tho?

I don't understand.

Also OP, if you think PC is fucked the most you are wrong. A friend of mine has a 500gb PS4 and he literally can't have more than six games on it since the system takes over a hundred gb. So, if he wants to play a new game he has to delete one or two of the old ones. And if he deletes the old ones then the next time he plays it he has to redownload all the dlc, which there are a fucking lot for some games.

The problem with megatextures is not that they are uncompressed, but that assets that should technically have identical textures (say, columns) each have their own texture allocation, essentially copypasting the same texture multiple times over the megatexture. This bloats the texture size unnecessarily, as the same identical effect could be achieved by just reusing a single high-resolution texture.

you're saying that i should cancel my preorder of remastered ichigo mashimaro series+ova

...

You can only compress so much without losing quality. Compression typically requires some kind of repeating pattern that it can process in a single whoop, like how PNG is very good at compressing vector drawings since it can combine flat areas into one.

U talkin shit about my crps niggaaaaa?

Sauce?

TOO MANY SHIT THREADS ABOUT THIS SHIT GAME

ONLY IDENTICAL INTEGERS CAN SALVAGE THIS MESS

Wow, there are people in 2016 STILL caring about file sizes and compression?? I mean, is it really too much to just buy a new hard drive from www.amazon.com or even Best Buy?????

lmfao

...

...

That looks like something Obyaa would draw, could be wrong.

Thanks mayne

guilty as charged

They likely dropped Sparse Voxel Octrees from being too retarded on actually implementing it, thus destroying the only revolutionary feature of iD Tech 6 and shitting on the legacy of past versions

You must not live in a city where AT&T doesn't constantly bend you over and fuck you.

Fuck, I meant it does.

seriously, this was shit that was showcased in places like SIGGRAPH back in fucking 2008-2009

and yet ZeniMax forces them to drop it due to "muh console", ignoring the shitty incremental upgrades MS/Sony/Nintendo are all doing

Get with the times grandpa

lol

I always thought this was a facade for dumb ass casuals.
You know, the whole video card kind of mentality.

GTA5 shipped 7 DVDs, they were broken when I got them, I had to copy all the files over to hard drive as disc authentication kept fucking up. It took 6 Hours to install. Once it installed off HDD which was faster than doing it via DVD it then required an additional 8GB download…..

Fuck Video Games.

lol retard

You deserved it

Look it is difficult for me to grasp, yesterday I was torrenting 40Gb worth of anime in one evening. I'm good.

But there's a lot of people with shit Internet and they need to vent their frustrations. They are being left behind.

I got the game for free as a gift from work. I worked in a game retailer.

The game was shit. I wish they'd given me Witcher 3.

lol

randomly generated shitquests and cities consisting of 5 houses aren't content m8

Oh well thats fair I guess
Tfw you never got anything from work except for stress and joyless days

I bought a PS3 and never even once did i conect it to the internet
You could bet your ass i'd be demanding (and suing if necesary) to get my money back if something like this ever happened to me

But then agains, i just bought the damn machine for the Uncharted series, finishing the God of War trilogy, playing Tales of Xilia, Dragons Crown, Valkyrie cronicles, and Bayonetta…
i Guess i'll dust it off one last time for Persona 5 but that's it.
Aside from those i've been playing mostly indies wich i just torrent


Remind me again, what hapened to that M$ suit who said "Deal with it" to people who couldn't play the Xbone cus of the 24 hour DRM?

Bitch i grew up in the PS1 era i'm used to moltiple disc DVDs, it's certainly a better deal than the Jewery of selling download codes, if i'm gonna have to wait for the game to download, i might as well Torrent it

There's your problem

I lived in near Rovaniemi for a couple years, never again

I feel sorry for the little guy but if the whole industry is going down the shit hole there's no need for consumers to follow, i pirate the fuck out of everything but companies i like such as Atlus, Platinum Games and Vanilla Ware i support every time they make a new game, wich isn't as often as id like, but why should i support any other vidya company when they have gave me nothing i could posibly care about?

What is a "good" single-player FPS in your opinion coming out in 2016?

Most of Holla Forums won't agree with me but I'll post these anyway

Shadow Warrior 2
Dishonored 2
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
And possibly some indie shooters that may or may not be surprisingly good.

NuDoom is shit user. Let it go.

checked
He got fired. Then he opened the studio that did the walking-simulator-in-space-for-VR Adr1ft.
His name is Adam Orth. Friends may come and go but enemies remain forever.

Why?

This is cancer.


What's the point of having a console? I guess there goes my plan to pirate as many PS2/3 games before TPP so I can buy a fat PS3 dirt cheap later and play all the games that don't exist. All the external hard drives would tear my poor little wallet a new one.
