So you may or may not have noticed this blog has been inactive for a while, I've been meaning to resuscitate it for a while, and while I originally had other plans for doing that, this seems as good a way as any...
But, yes, Batman: Arkham Origins.
I bought it, at as some people still do, at ye olde brick and mortar retailer, since, unlike some people out there, I don't have unlimited bandwidth, so I prefer having the installer discs (Which also installs faster to boot). I started the 16.2 gig installation from the disc...and it only installed half the game before 'completing' and leaving Steam to download the remaining half.
Now it's pretty normal for the retail disc not to install absolutely everything, usually there will be some files the game has to get off Steam, mostly files updated since the disc was stamped I would suspect...but in my experience, this never comes to more than a gig, two tops.
We're talking about a
7GB patch for a game released scantly a fortnight ago. Even if they did put out a massive content patch in that time, that's huge.
I delete the local content, I try again, same result. First disc
installs 6 gigs, second installed 3 gigs. Third barely installed 1 gig.
And then for extra kicks, when the Steam download takes over, it drops
the total back down to 9.5 gigs. That's three DVDs, THREE. Uno, dos,
tres. And you can't even get a full game off them...so, since I now have
to wait hours for Steam to chew through my bandwidth finishing the
rest, it gives me the time to come here and rant about it...
