Brought farcry 6 the other day. A physical copy because I like my physical media, but also because I don't like having to download massive games but you know what?
I might as well have though.
The great thing about discs was that you oculd just put it in the console and go. No download or install required. Not anymore though. Farcry 6 is listed as "50gb" on the back of the case, reasonable for ps4 games. Stuck it in the console and its "copying" (whatever that means, since I still need the disc in the console to play it) ~40gb. Why?
And to add insult to injury, before it even finishes copying itself, it starts downloading a ~10gb patch
I just want to play my game, not sit round waiting for stuff to download or install
