Dunkey tries to install Black Ops 6 PC.

Buy game from Steam, spend 2 hours trying to install, can't refund.

Heh.

Alternatively:
  1. Open Xbox App
  2. Click "Install" on Call of Duty
  3. Select Black Ops 6 Campaign and Multiplayer
  4. Wait for download to finish
  5. Launch game

You can do that with the MS store/ Xbox app on PC too.
But them you are selling your soul to that awful Xbox/MS store app and not Gaben
 
I don't even understand why you guys keep throwing your money at these games.
I like CoD campaigns (most of them remind me of blockbuster films), and CoD is also one of the few multiplayer games left that simply provides simple modes like deathmatch and gun game, not cart or capture or any of these other multiplayer games that want you to get along and coordinate with up to 4 to 5 other people (for up to 20-40 minute intervals) on a constant basis while you they rage at you or you rage at them or both, the entire time.

tl;dr I just want to shoot stuff, respawn, and shoot stuff some more.

It's not that big 🙄
Compared to what? The entire size of the SSD?

This is one of the big reasons I will never play on PC. The other is the cheaters in the FPS I play.
No thanks.

So what is the first reason?

Those things (launchers, accounts) can be annoying but once you set it up it works ok.

It's as big "problem" putting disc into console, digital lovers love to make big problem out of it.

What bugs me the most is a menu to access a menu, to another menu, and another... Remeber when we got Modern Warfare, put the disc and just started the campaign?! Those were good days, now is bullshit

Its fucking awful. Start client, update required, restart, start again, select campaign, start a new client, another fucking update, restart again and now MAYBE you can play the fucking game. Its incredible how dogshit the PC client is

But real talk though. Avoiding games like this that use 3rd party launchers and/or online drm is one of the best decisions i could've made for gaming.

If you only have a 60GB SSD you have a problem.
Don't worry,you'd have that problem even with 1tb SSD if you want to install more than 3 modern Call of Duty games

10 hours of combined campaign time for the low low size of 700 GB.

Though to be fair I understand the devs,why go through the trouble of optimizing and actually compressing file size like other more competent devs do when you can just dump everything on the stans that will support the franchise regardless.

Why work when you can just not.

Right, you're just here to troll, moving on.
You literally said
It's not that big 🙄
in regards to one single game being 260GB and yet you call me the troll for stating the obvious...

For your information 260GB is not a normal game size for any situation,no matter the amount of mental gymnastics you or others want to attribute to this franchise.

For reference Red Dead Redemption 2,a game with an expansive open world that you can get lost in for hundreds of hours and has a multiplayer mode in said open world made by one of the most technically sound developers in the world is 150 GB yet a game with a 5 hour linear campaign,a straight up mp mode with maps and a battle royale multiplayer open space is somehow almost double that size?!!

Ever since 2019 and Warzone they implemented launchers inside launchers inside launchers all for the purpose of keeping you from deleting this shit once you've already downloaded so much data,only so they can keep you "invested" in their bullshit system. There's no logical reason for this shit to be this big and it's not trolling when people call out or make fun of their obvious bullshit.

It's good you want to move on,I hear stanning is bad for your leg circulation.

This game is nowhere near 260gb. Where you getting that from?

First thing is every game just doesn’t work right because all of the different CPU’s / GPUs available. Then if it is working you need to figure out what type of settings you want to run. I don’t even like it when I have 2 settings too pick from on my PS5 😂

I see all the posts in here about people complaining about there games not running correctly. I don’t have the patience for that anymore.

I can get it for a multiplayer focused game series like COD.

But there's no excuse for demanding a PSN ID to play GoW or Tsushima

If they have cross save i would understand it.

COD does you see, i can jump between my PS5, Xbox and PC and just pick up where i left off. Great feature and worth the price of an account

Nobody should be using COD games as a reference for what PC gamers have to deal with, COD games are pretty much the worst way to handle it on PC, the majority of other games are vastly simpler.

Only if you make a massive meal out of it like the retard in the OP.

Yes im doubling down, come at me dunky chums.
I'm just fucking around. I didn't read the thread or watch the video. I'm guessing the tone of this thread is serious business. Lol.

it's NOT 260gb doofus, that's what I meant when I said it's not that big. the game isn't even 100GB.
Oh...

I thought you meant 260gb is not that big of a size...which would be stupid. I now see I misunderstood the whole thing completely. I was under the impression the game would be over 200gb due to how past games were so I didn't verify it for Black Ops 6...

My bad,apologies.

You can create an account in a few seconds. The guy wasn't even able to install the game.

A closed platform will always be better for stuff like that.
It's a joke video and the closed platforms can't even run the online without paying for it. -_-'
