Oh, you don't like that some of the game is digital even if you have a disk. Come on what's so bad about that? :L |
I'll put you an easy example. I have the Resident Evil 5 Gold Version for my 360, which is supposedly the "GOTY" version of the game, with all the DLC included. But here's a funny catch, since the DVD can't hold all the data, Capcom just put a downloadable code inside it which grants you everything (the extra content) digitally. Stored in the HDD. To make it work, you have to download a very, very insignificant patch that enables the content itself (which there's no problem, Capcom gave it to everyone even if they didn't have any extra content).
I had some problems with my 360 years later, so I had to erase the corrupted cache data, which in exchanges (since it cannot discriminate which data is correct and which one isn't), erases all patches present in the console.
So, there's this party with friend in a nice house of one of them, but it doesn't have internet access. I bring my 360 with me to play some games. We've all beaten Resident Evil 5, but I say "Ey, I have the DLC! Let's play through that!". I put the disc on the console, I boot it up and...nothing. Blam, we can't play the extra content because the content can't be found. It's nonexistent according to the console. I check the memory and the content is there. What's going on? Oh, of course. That 1mb patch is nowhere to be seen.
So I can't play the extra content. Content I paid, content that is actually taking space in my digital storage. Because the stupid patch isn't on the disc. And since we don't have internet connection there, it cannot be solved.
So screw digital updates of a game. Put everything in the disc from the get go.
