Played the intro/training thing yesterday, ran out of time (i do actually have to do things in RL and after updating the game 3 times all I got was 5 mins), fire up the game about 5 mins ago and not only do I get yet another update but I have to replay the same intro - honestly this is as bad as Max Payne 3.
Consider a "skip intro BS" next time...
It doesn't auto launch the patch either, it also doesn't let you ignore the patch, not everyone has game breaking issues etc. It was a pain, but not as bad as GR:FS holy crap, that was frustrating.
I grabbed it during the sale on Ubishop(while claiming my FC3 code from AMD) and I was going to play for an hour or so before work...nope, stupid incremental patches, no auto launch of the downloaded patches, I got maybe 20mins in before I had to leave.
All of that said, I am thoroughly enjoying FC3 though, only a few minor bugs so far, I was able to get around them and continue so no big deal.
