Not Destined To Be Empty Not Destined To Be

Post by DreuxPhoenix July 21st 2016, 9:05 pm

When Destiny first came out, I barely got to play it when my sibling broke the disc by doing the the most satanic thing possible : Leaving the disc out to be scratched when they swapped the games with Lego Star Wars III. Just recently, I went to the library and noticed they have Destiny: The Taken King. I place a hold, wait a couple of weeks for someone else to stop using it and return it. I put it in the Xbox and it says an update is required. Okay. Then Content Packs start downloading. Kay, 5 GB of data on what I presume to be the Taken King stuff. Then the Xbox starts randomly installing 7 of the twelve compatability upgrades. My device is now full, and I only own "20 GB" Hard Drives. I am not destined to play destiny until I get a job and can afford the more expensive Hard Drive. Needless to say, I am pissed. Oh well, such is life. Let the comments start off below.

You know you can buy an external hard drive cheaply, right?

Yeah, you can buy external hard drives for about the same price as regular hard drives, these days. 1 TB will cost you $50-60. You might want to get one with a dedicated power source, rather than one that runs of USB power. It would be better if it only used up one USB port, and it should perform a little better.

Do what normal siblings do.
Tell them to put them in the cases, with threats of a**-whooping if they don't.

People who cbf putting discs in cases are animals.

I know this is after the event, but why leave discs in machines that you KNOW will be used by others, I mean its your stuff, I hope in future you will have learned an important lesson, ie; No-one gives a crap about your stuff so why don't you protect it by putting it away? Adults will generally be more sympathetic if they can see you took measures to protect your stuff. I expect when you have worked to get your new storage, you will adopt this outlook quickly.

Since when do libraries carry video games? Since when do people under the age of sixty go to libraries? The times they are a-changin'.

Libraries have carried video games (so long as the ERSB and/or PEGI ratings are below Mature) for many years now
Anyone who needs convenient resources goes to a library, including people who go to college/university.

I used to go to the library all the time, but the two or three libraries I fully explored didn't have a single video game of any kind.

They were educational ones though IIRC. AKA the ones nobody would ever touch anyway.

I find it crazy that Halo 5 takes so much space up. You would think MCC, but it's still pretty crazy.

Well to be fair I haven't been to a library since I was five not including the time I went there for some really corny anime expo when I was fifteen but I don't count that as I was only there for a few minutes before I realized I had made a horrible mistake and hightailed it out of there.
