Fallout 76 is game that keeps on giving.
There never was 50GB Day 1 patch? At least PC version never got such patch.
I think because it's digital and that already downloded the latest files first. Physical is an older build so you need to download a day one patch.
Might be wrong though.
This right here.
I just finished installing the "patch" myself on PS4 and the game is 53.35 GB so the patch is that long but your not adding that much of data to the game.
every patch on xbox so far basically replaced the entire game every time, including the beta patches
The Spider-Man proposal wins it hands down. That's real life failure that's not even comparable to releasing a below average game with large updates.
what is the final install size after patches? are they just not diffing the patches and re-downloading the same assets?
The file structure hierarchy must be pretty awful if each time they release a patch they have to pack the whole thing into these big ass archives. It's even more strange that precedent Bethesda games didn't suffered from this issue, pretty much every parts of them were split among several archives (one for meshes, another for textures, sound, animations etc...).
Everything can't be THIS fucked to the point that almost the whole game need to be patched even though it suffers from many problems.

while I understand the general sentiment, Bethesda actually updating most of the game seems to be a good thing in this regard.
Not a big deal then. Well maybe for those without unlimited data
Not a big deal for me either but it's just weird having to basically redownload the whole game every time the game has been updated (so far) but whatever not much I can do about it.
