This of course doesn't apply to NFS/EA since they simply are not patched... :evil:

Anyway, just clicked check for updates on Neverwinter Nights 2 (Zehir), since they do patch the game on a semi regular bases. This time however, I dropped my chewing gum:

That is one big-ass patch... I guess I'll play tomorrow instead after waiting for this sucker to download. But atleast they keep fixing the game constantly, don't really care if they have to patch the whole darn game (as it would seem with sizes like this).

Anyone else come across huge patch files?

The Test Drive Unlimited Car Megapack was pretty big, if that qualifies as a patch...

Or, how about the "routine" "upgrades" to Steam games? I have to always play in offline mode to get the games to work, or just leave it running overnight -_-

My biggest patch was ProStreet's 432MB 1.02 patch for PS3. Or at least it was in the 400MB mark, not sure about it. Certainly not the longest to download though. I bought Buzz! Quiz TV for PS3 while I was capped and after waiting a day to download PS3 firmware 2.52, I had to wait two days for the Buzz! patch to dl! :shock:

Planetside's patches were pretty epic. Especially if you got the game in the previous 6 months.

Couldn't stand such a big download. The Call of Duty World at War 1.4 patch was about 500mb (it contained 4 new maps) And it took me about 5 hours!

Team Fortress 2 is quite large as well. In content and changes, at least.
