Recently, I bought LEGO City Undercover for the Switch without realizing that it requires a day-one update to even play. Expecting a physical version of a game to not bar me from playing it until I download something, I am deciding to return it. Now, the intention is to get the game on PS4, but I do not know if that version can be played as soon as I insert the disc into the console, or if the situation described here would occur again there. Can someone please let me know which is the case?
@JohnnyShoulder My issue is not that there is an update (I fully know that that will happen when a modern game is bought after release), it’s that I cannot boot up the game without letting that update pass. This bothers me being that I purchase physical editions to get the full game on the cartridge/disc (which I know I do get here @kyleforrester87 since a 13GB download would have taken much, much longer than an hour to complete with my internet if that mistake on the box were not a mistake; I should have specified that that situation and the update I’m speaking of are separate in the original post) and to have immediate access to it whether I’m offline or online. I am incapable of even getting the game to work offline on Switch as it keeps loading until a connection is reached.
With this clarification of what the problem is, I do want it to be known that I appreciate both of your suggestions/votes of confidence.
@Ultimategamer132 When that happens it usually means that there is some kind of online component in the game which the devs have decided is imperative to play the game. Or it could be that the update contains a fix to a bug or glitch. I think I had that when I played Borderlands 2 recently when a update was downloading and I was OK to play the game but I got a warning messaging informing online functionality would be disabled.
I can't comment on how it works on Switch as I don't play it that often and it is always connected to the Internet, just like my ps4.
Just set it to download overnight and put the console into rest mode. That's what I do whenever I download a game.
