That's a pretty good update. Gonna fire it up now!

Hopefully I'm not turning this into a console war thingy by saying this but it's on my mind:

A lot of people complained about updates last gen, mostly about the PS3. Now, people seem to praise updates. I was one of the guys that hated when the PS3 would update. Now, I look forward to whenever my Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, Vita, and 3DS update. Why? Because last gen all we got were patches and stability updates most of the time. We'd get a huge update every now and then but mostly they were a bother. This gen it feels like every update gives us new functionality and I look forward to them. This is a good update.
