Game: "and... download complete" Ryan: "thank God, now can I play?" Game: "sure no problem, just got to do a quick update"

First loading bar is the download, then you get another one for installing the update and once you start the game you get another loading bar where it has to configure the update according to your settings. Now that you are finally in the game after 4 hours of a "quick" update you try to find a game only to have to download more shit from the server because all servers now have custom settings that you don't have.

You forgot the fact that after the update gets downloaded it also has to install the update, causing the 3h 21m to become 4h 32m without warning you. Plus the fact that sometimes there's a warning box between the download and the installation that you have to click on, so when you start the download and leave for 5h, when you come back you click on that and there's still another hour of waiting.

I love atari, you could play a game for 15 minutes and walk away pleased. Modern games demand a level of interaction from you that's just impractical. It's absurd, and I'm surprised it isn't seen as insulting. River Raid, moon patrol, miner 2049er, flogger, breakout were some of my preferred quick plays. Even if you played a game for hours (mario 3, or even any later mario) it isn't so taxiing that you feel like you're trading life for it, nor do you feel obligated to do so.

[@ZacharyShade]

This is why I pretty much exclusively play emulated old pokemon games at this point. Just check how many badges I have, Google where the next gym is and I'm on my way. I don't even want to know how many games I've put 10-20 hours into over a week or two and then have no idea what the game even is 2-3 months later when I come back and give up. I've also been going back and forth between high gold/low plat in Rocket League for 3 years, so there's that.

[@lonesurvivor8828]

Prototype 2 actually had a great boot up mechanic. On the main menu, you'd actually be overlooking a part of the map, and when you hit continue it would zoom and to Sgt. Heler (the player character). Or wouldn't be right where you left off, instead, the game would be fresh when you continued. It was really easy to pick up that game after not playing for a while, everything was well organized, despite being open world.

The only thing missing from this video is the fact that there’s a huge wait to download the update… and then there’s the even longer wait to INSTALL the update

[@darcanjel7]

Now everytime my console is updating I will imagine a little Ryan inside looking like he's trying to squeeze out a deuce after eating a block of cheese.

Lol the way you’re looking for someone to play in that hockey helmet got me.

No, they are not... you are a prime person to be observed by the rianverse (dont know what this would be called) and thus you will recive a video everytime you need it

We are the result of the universe observing itself. Alan Watts paraphrased. Serious shoutout to Alan Watts. If you have not listened to, nor read his words....trust me, so worthwhile. He is/was an excellent philosopher. The MCU is almost kindergarten compared to AlanWatts and many others.

[@gvigary1]

So true. Turned on my gaming PC after a few months, it seemed like my entire Steam library needed to update itself. Took all day!

[@DemoniqueLewis]

This is so real for me, I have nearly given up. I sometimes just turn on the console and start updates with plans of watching KZbin videos.

[@dierare]

and that, my friends, is why you sometimes just turn on the console for updates and not expect to play online for 20 mins after not touching it for half a year

[@jeremyadler9620]

And stuff like this is why I mainly play single player story driven games :) Great video, Ryan! Keep up the great videos :)

[@FictionRaider007]

I was going to say the same thing. Only problem with them is if I'm jumping in to play something for 30 minutes real quick after I long time I usually go into a single-player story game... and realise I've completely forgotten what was going on in the plot.

[@encycl07pedia-]

I hope the VG industry crashes again to make these CEOs at places like EA and Konami take a step back and start treating consumers with respect again. I refuse to pay for DLC, season passes, always-online devices, etc. and that's why my last console is an Xbox 360. Still going strong, although the CD tray gets stuck sometimes. If I buy a game, I want the whole game. Not a download code. Not a beta version. Not a game that comes with 3/4 of it as paid DLC or worse, "DLC" that's on the disc itself.

[@danielmcbride6413]

I know this feeling so well! I’ve had so many on and off seasons that I’ve come to know what to expect at this point. The one BIG part you left out for shooter games(once they finally finish loading) is when you get into player vs player, which you used to be great at and still have the technical skills for, but you have no idea what weapons to use because the meta has been changed like thirty times since you left. As a destiny player, when you try to look up builds to see what the meta is, they often rely on mods you don’t have, so you just have to get stomped for several rounds and play close attention to what guns other people are using and then use those same guns yourself, at which point you find out if those people stomped you because the guns were actually meta or if it was just because they’re way better than you. Rinse repeat, rinse repeat. Pain.

Everything was spot on! When the shooter game did another progress bar after it was already done, I thought it was going to say that it's installing now.
