I hope you aren't lying. Or else...

He's not.

There are four packs, which add up to 10GB altogether.

Wait, so what is the purpose of the packs? Are they required?

They shorten the load times if you are getting a physical copy.

They are NOT required.

Thanks for the info guys. Not sure if I can get them tho. FFrame 5 took up most of the space.

If it's any consolation, 10 seconds longer to load a level isn't all that terrible, I'm sure you'll survive. ;)

GTA takes years to load. 10 seconds isn't that bad

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

As the owner of a 1TB external harddrive, I'll be downloading the packs just to ensure I get the optimal play experience. Also, I'm impatient as hell. :P
