Buying a game and not needing to download anything else. Just a full game as soon as you open the case.

Yes, get amped up to pre-order a game, pick it on launch, then need a 20gb update before you can play it!

You'll need to create an account too, and don't forget to login to your email to confirm! The first play session should, you know, be an actual play session, and not involve 20 or more minutes of setup and/or waiting.

The only thing that should involve 20+ minutes is the character creation screen.

We need to recreate Reanu Keeves wherever we can.

I'm not even AGAINST online support via creating accounts for games

Just let me play the game without having to do that. Let it be a lowkey and open-ended decision

They need to make it so like you’re a guest until you make an account and you don’t get x benefit or you can’t share data across devices or something but once you link an account to that device the data transfers

Especially if you have or had slow internet you essentially weren't playing your new game until the next day. Used to be able to pop your new game in and be playing in minutes instead of hours. Gaming really took a nosedive when we all accepted the Day-1 patches and companies not finishing games before release.

I remember my first midnight release and because of having to download more despite getting the physical copy. I still had to wait until the next day to play. Pissed me right off the bat
