Well, I'm trying to play BF4 (PC version).

So far today -
a) You have to install Origin, and the install from the discs doesn't work - go to the web, and install it from the site
b) Install the game from 3 x DVDs, and after loading all the data from them, fails at 20% install (known error - you have to copy all the files except 3 from one of the installer libraries to a new library, re-install, and then it works)
c) When that finally finished, I was required to download a 1.2GB update
d) try to start the game, it tells me I need the latest Nvidia drivers - download those, install, and off we jolly well, erm, go!
e) well, no - I am now downloading a 4,544.31MB patch - luckily, it's from a good server, so it's downloading at 8MB/sec

Strangely enough, when I installed COD Black Ops II last month, I had none of these 'challenges'......
