So I decide to play LittleBigPlanet.........

And I am greeted by this lovely screen....

Patches... the most frustrating addition to gaming. Ever.

Never played games on a PC? :lol:emitsu97

Nope, I'm not much of a PC gamer although I'm downloading Portal right now to give it a try. In all seriousness though, 10 patches! Thats ridiculous. They aren't even small either.

You only had TEN patches to install? Consider yourself lucky. :lol:

I just went up to check and discovered that there was an error and its been going nothing for the past 10 minutes. After restarting the second one is 200MB! :lol: I'm actually crying inside.

I know it would destroy the experience but you can skip patches by turning off your connection, but they are meant to help (some of them) and itll be worth it.

I went to go play PAIN the other day and it said it needed a 2GB Patch, screw that.

Tis nothing. I've spend up to 2 days downloading patches for pc games. *I have a slower internet connection*

:lol:

I had to do that too. I just watched a half hour of TV and it was done. The game was worth waiting the half hour.

I felt like that when i was downloading MGO, and to find out the MP sucks in this game!!! :evil:

See, your first problem was wanting to play LBP...

Seriously though, I could not agree more. Downfall of gaming. Remember when you accepted a game (and it's flaws) for what it was? You had no other choice. DLC is turning nearly every gamer into a complainer... fix this, nerf that... guh.

I don't see the problem with patches, unless there are a lot within a few weeks of a game's release. If you're going to play a game released 2 years ago for consoles, you better expect updates. At least that shows you that developers are actually trying to improve their games. They wouldn't just patch a game to get rid of features. It only makes sense to me dislike DLC, not patches.

It is annoying to install the patches at least the developers do fix the problems though games like PAIN! are annoying due to Idol Minds adding more stuff to it all the time especially when you have characters on your selection screen that you haven't bought but the updates on that game are always big. Usually I just go on the computer while my PS3 is installing the data.

Well the game has been out for almost 2 years, lots of things had to be fixed, you cant blame it for trying to improve your gaming experienceRTUUMM

lol that happened to me when I first played Brutal Legend.

The patches took half an hour to install.

Probably the amount of time it took me to beat the whole game,

and if you want somebody to play with my PSN Is JDiamnz.

Lol I was greeted by the same damn screen when I popped in Burnout Paradise the other day. Luckily I had my girlfriend over at the time so I commanded her to make the time fly if you catch my drift :P

Yeah, LittleBigPlanet is, by far, the worst for patches. At one point, it seemed like every time i started the game there was another patch. It was really frustrating so just be glad you're getting it all done at once. :/

I don't mind that :|

The game is focused on user generated content, what were you expecting?

What does that have to do with patches? Patches are implemented to fix glitches and problems in the game, like crashing etc. Also, I fully agree with people when they say its good that developers are trying to improve their games and whatnot, which is why I don't mind sitting through a couple of small

patches and updates are not a problem if you have verizon fios lol like me

im an old enough gamer to remember that i had to wait this long just to load a game up from tape ever time i played it.

when its installed its done.. you dont have to do it again.

I don't mind that :|

Patches are really annoying if you go over to a friends house, stick the disc in and need to download stuff. Thankfully since I rotate playing some of my games the downloads are never extremely long. But Burnout Paradise and LBP were some of the most frequent.
