    From what I have read it's a 45+gb download, ouch!

    • SuperMatty on 23/05/2014 - 16:03

      Hah welcome to The New Order, I guess :)

      Haven't bought it yet (have checked the voucher works for it tho) - looked on steam page and it says needs 50 GB space so yeah you're probably close.

      Eh most games are that big, Titanfall is around that and It's MP only. All Xbone and PS4 games are that big.

        I would disagree with "most games". Recent AAA games, maybe. There's some suggestion that Titanfall was unnecessarily bloated by including uncompressed/localized audio for all regions in a single install (whether you wanted other languages or not).

        It's still valid information for people whose last Wolfenstein game came on a couple of 3.5 inch floppy disks :)

          It's valid information for almost everybody in this country. Our internet isn't really scaling with how big these games are getting unless you happen to have nbn in your suburb.

        • SuperMatty on 23/05/2014 - 16:44

          @LordRichington yep, totally. When a friend and I both bought TitanFall around the same time, we wanted to play right away so I copied my install onto an external HDD and brought it round to his place so he didn't have to wait several hours and exceed his download cap for the month.

        • Gnostikos on 24/05/2014 - 00:35

          The the size increases in installation packages are a natural consequence of the increase in texture, geometry, physics, animation and lighting complexity.

          The gaming masses, for better or worse have voted with their dollars, and upheld the belief that graphics are the centrepiece of modern gaming, especially on a PC.

          You get what you deserve folks. Keep buying Crysis-clones and you'll keep getting games that are heavy on the gigabytes but devoid of soul and replayability.

          I played Race the Sun recently. Less than 20MB in size; and I was more captivated by the abstract and artistic graphics than I was by counting the number of beads of sweat I can see on some jarhead's meaty face in Triple-A FPS X, Y and Z.

          Seriously, wtf is "AAA" ? When I first starting gaming on the PC, there were just games. No such thing as A, AA, AAA, B, C, or D minus. Just games.

        • Gnostikos on 27/05/2014 - 18:27

          When I first starting gaming on the PC, there were just games.

          Shouldn't that be in the singular, as I believe Space War! would have been the only game available way back then?

        • CyberGenesys on 27/05/2014 - 18:46

          AAA = basically any big budget game.

          Nope, back in the mid 90s, Warcraft, SimCity 2000, Command and Conquer… nobody used some stupid ratings system back then, they were all just called games.

          Nope, back in the mid 90s, Warcraft, SimCity 2000, Command and Conquer… nobody used some stupid ratings system back then, they were all just called games.

          Yes but all three franchises you just mentioned were developed by that era's powerhouse, industry-leading developers (Blizzard, Maxis and Westwood).

          Every 10 year old who played video games in the 1990s knew that a Blizzard or Westwood RTS had far more cachet and likelihood to be a massive hit than something by Auran, SSI, Bluebyte, Bullfrog, or Topware.

          This paradigm has always existed; it just never had a formal title until the mid-2000s. There have always been "Indie" and "Mainstream" developers; but gaming was far more of a casual pastime back then rather than the hardcore, capitalist-driven, money-making machine that it is today, so nobody really put much time or thought into the economics and stratification of the gaming industry.

          Stop getting bent out of shape because you're feeling out of touch with the gaming industry and relish your nostalgic memories so much.

          I'm all for retro-gaming and was an avid gamer in the 1990s as well (and I lament a lot about the gaming industry's decline too); but seriously, stop living in the past and stop clinging onto antiquated notions.

      I'm downloading it now, its 46.874gb

    • AMLagonda on 23/05/2014 - 16:34

      holy moly :o

      • thefunkygibbon on 23/05/2014 - 17:57

        If only there was some sort of fast network that could make downloads like this trivial… but I guess Mr Turnbull and Mr Abbott don't think we don't need anything like that.

        • alittlelewd on 23/05/2014 - 19:41

          Downloading games isn't exactly what most people have in mind when they think about how a faster internet connection would benefit the lives of Australians.

          There's a million reasons to have a tax payer funded NBN, but so a 46gb game download can be trivial is just unnecessary.

        • MrZ on 23/05/2014 - 20:42

          There is already a fast network that's been around for nearly 20 years - it's called cable. Just as fast as the NBN. 45 GB download = 1.5 hours at top speed.

        • thefunkygibbon on 23/05/2014 - 23:43

          I don't think there is any one reason people want fast internet; however, digital media consumption over the internet (which includes games) is probably one of the leading reasons until other technologies/solutions come along.

        • thefunkygibbon on 23/05/2014 - 23:50

          MrZ, if you can get cable then sure at the moment these isn't a huge difference (yet); however, cable coverage where I am is non-existent and the existing copper network was so poor I couldn't even get ADSL until Telstra put an expansion to their DSLAM in last year.

        • Gnostikos on 24/05/2014 - 00:29

          Downloading games isn't exactly what most people have in mind when they think about how a faster internet connection would benefit the lives of Australians.

          Faster downstream sync speeds is what a majority of Australian internet users need, period. Whether their needs for FTTP are residential, commercial, profit or non-profit in nature, the only thing that our internet infrastructure needs aside from greater coverage, is greater downstream sync speeds.

          How exactly do you believe internet protocols work? The faster you send packets back and forth, the better the experience for the user. And most folks are not uploading libraries of content on a regular basis.

          More extensive undersea links to the rest of the world should be on the list as well, but since we are an insignificant backwater relict to the rest of the world, that's got less of a chance of materialising than the NBN itself.

    Do not buy if you're an ATI owner. Performance is worse than a one legged dog running on ice.

    Found it cheaper via a previous deal:
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/144858

    $42.19 (USD?):
    http://www.gamingpanda.net/buy-wolfenstein-the-new-order-unc…

    Wish I bought it when it was only $35

    It would have been less suspicious if the OP did not provide a referrers link :(

    • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2014 - 16:42

      It's clearly stated as a referral link? Negging it just seems like the territory of someone who wishes they thought of posting it, first.

      ..And the referral appears to be going to a random person, not the op.

      • googolplex on 23/05/2014 - 16:46

        Fair enough, but personally I would have searched before posting.
        No, I didn't want to post this first.

        Maybe the OP is somehow affiliated with the referrer

          @googolplex not really sure what you're talking about. My links are not referreral links. That grey box at the bottom of the OP just came up automatically, I think it's an OzBargain thing, I have no idea how it got there. Can you turn it off?

        • googolplex on 23/05/2014 - 16:50

          Weird, maybe the account is owned by Ozbargain staff or someone has hacked the server? :O

        • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2014 - 16:52

          Maybe the OP just posted it because he thought it was an okay deal.

          Maybe one of the 74 people on the random referral list get a couple of dollars to spend at GMG.

          Sounds good to me.

          (I am not on the list)

        • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2014 - 16:55
          +2

          It's quite clearly an automatic thing on a GMG deal, designed to give a random member (one of 74 on the list) a referral.

          It doesn't hurt and it's very clever. There's no reason not to do it.

          It only causes problems when someone reads that he can get it cheaper, sees "referral" and jumps a huge huge conclusion that the OP is up to shenanigans to score a few $2 referrals :-)

        • SuperMatty on 23/05/2014 - 17:00

          @googolplex regarding "I would check before posting" - I don't personally consider all digital retailers to be 'equal'. In my case, I'm not keen on straight-up CD Key sites. Just a personal preference.

          With Greenman Gaming they're an official reseller for Steam, Origin etc and that has some value for some people, so I felt the deal was relevant. Also it's a general 20% off code so you don't have to use it on Wolfenstein - that was just an example of a new game that the code works for.

        • CyberGenesys on 23/05/2014 - 18:08

          That grey box at the bottom of the OP just came up automatically, I think it's an OzBargain thing

      The previously posted deal for Wolfenstein is still $35.86 (didn't notice the discount code earlier):

      Why spend the money at all? Just don't play it and save yourself $48, guaranteed.

      • MrZ on 23/05/2014 - 20:43

        I'm just saying that games drop to below 20 bucks so quickly these days that it rarely makes sense to spend more.

        • Gnostikos on 24/05/2014 - 00:43

          For multiplayer-centric games it does, since the availability full servers and hectic gameplay are inversely proportional to the amount of time passed since launch.

  • MementoMori on 23/05/2014 - 20:03

    Does this include the DOOM Beta?

    I would go buy off Gaming Panda but I don't want to wait for manual verification of my order, I'm sick of getting stuffed around by these cheapie CD key joints.
