Or if not full data - a multi gig Day 1 patch is required before being able to play
Nothing new here... false outrage is false

Half of the Steam games I've got on disc don't even install anything from the disc at all. I don't know if there's just nothing on there or if the Steam installer's just being useless again.
If most of the game is on the disc I call that an improvement.

I can assure you it does!
Maybe you are lucky enough to not have internet connection problems, but for example I had to download The Witcher 3 at 128kbps -and I'm pretty sure many people around the world have even worse problems, and that is without talking of limited bandwidth. The best I ever did was 600kbps! Sometimes, discs are a real godsend, especially if Steam or other clients are needed for the installation, and with the dimentions of both base games and patches nowdays... I envy those that pass 1Mbps.

Yeah, this isn't news. I'm at least pleased to see there will be a chunk of the game on the disc. At least it will (theoretically) reduce the bandwidth required to install the game.
*edit* Oh, and KiNgBrAdLeY7, why the hell do you care? You won't touch a Steam-shackled game anyway.

It's first day patch was huge.
Good thing is IF you are on gog and own Fallout Classics then you can play the Classics while Fallout 4 download it's missing files.

It was also nice buying a game and having it work right out of the box too. I miss those days.
