That's a big consideration for many nowadays. Completely valid. It's as integral as electric to a degree. It was partly why we made the decision to move where we are. But to say you should move for that reason is ludicrous. As if a million other factors don't apply.Ok what I'm about to say is 100% true and dead serious. Not being contrarian or anything:
My #1 criteria when looking for a new home/place to live is what type of internet access is available in that area. If it's not good enough, then I will literally choose to look elsewhere.
You're ignoring how bad ISP service is in some parts of the US.
:')Buy a Switch!
Mario Kart 8: 6.8GB
Mario Odyssey: 5.3GB
Splatoon 2: 3.7GB
ARMS: 2.6GB
All digital future, baby!
Seriously, remember when people were advocating all digital in the old forum? That's just so short sighted.

And that's not even one of the bigger games. Sucks indeed.

First, that would be a bizarre situation. Secondly, how many people do you know that would just up and move because of one situation like that? Are you single?But what if for some reason your current residence stopped having internet period? You wouldn't choose to move for that?
Yeah, I agree. I am 100% digital with gaming now (have been for years) and live in a rural location that means my download speed is measured in KB/s on Steam, not MB/s, just like the OP. But my back garden is a nature reserve in the UK, and my view from the lounge and kitchen is lakes and woodland. In a location like this, I can wait for fibre to be rolled out =PThat's a big consideration for many nowadays. Completely valid. It's as integral as electric to a degree.

I see. Yeah, in your position, it makes plenty more sense.I definitely would move because of that. (To be clear, when I said no internet period, I'm considering super slow speeds to be the same thing. Like under 5-megabits, as some people in this thread said they have. Unusable to me.)
And yes, I'm over 40 years old and have never been married, never had any kids.
This is a map (as of 2012) showing areas that have broadband rated at greater than 3Mbps.
5 years is a LONG time when it comes to technology. What's the current map look like as of today?
since it's the same as the pro, xb1s, and ps4 slim and that the PS4 and XB1 launched with 500gb i'd say year it's pretty dumb to single one out as being too small. consoles have always shipped with too small of hard drives (20gb PS3 and XB360) except the original xbox which literally never ran out of space. had a 8GB HD IIRC and was only used for game saves pretty muchI got shit on in the Xbox One X thread for complaining that it only shipped with a 1tb drive.
I haven't played it for months and it keeps getting patches and updates. Barely got through the first hour too.Gears of War 4 being around 100GB is just ridiculous. It's well optimized in all other respects.
That's how the internet conditions are in 80% of the world."file sizes are insane"
*proceeds to talk about shit isp*
no, its your isp thats insane
