Jealous Bastard
as long as there is some dramatic orchestral music and profound quotes from world war 2 generals during install i'm cool with it

You're part of the problem. It's not like 85 is even close to a low score.

Jeff-DSA said:Uh, but the PS3 is a console, right? That's why it irks me. We've never had to deal with install times on consoles before, and it's really jarring. With Heavenly Sword I was blown away by the process. It was fine after the fact, but kinda silly all the same.
EDIT: And what happens when the hard drive is full? 5GB is a huge chunk for 20GB owners...heck, it's a big dent for us 60GB owners too.

AltogetherAndrews said:But you are talking about boot-up times as installs, so no wonder it "irks" you. There's a longer initial boot-up for the sake of never having to present another load screen throughout the entire game. Did you expect that to just happen, at no cost?
NekoFever said:I really don't know which one to get. It sounds like the PS3 version is going to be marginally better but it's £10-12 more (depending on whether I go for standard or special edition) for no apparent reason...
Dave1988 said:15 hours on Human difficulty mode, as stated in this thread.
Also IIRC correctly you are treated to a story recap during the install to keep all the ADD kids entertained =p
Why should there be a required 25 minute install if you're not going to hit 25 minutes of load times without it? That's exactly what should be counted.AltogetherAndrews said:Yeah, that's how this should be counted. There isn't a rolleyes.gif large enough to do this justice.

Is Neogaf REALLY bitchin about the initial install...REALLY?
REALLY?!

Uncharted does something more clever that no other game has done yet on PS3, or maybe anywhere else. They have a 2GB swap file there and use it all the time, but creation of it is completely transparent, there are no install times ever, and it exists only while the game is running. How do they do it, I have no clue, though.Jeff-DSA said:No, I was just confused about Uncharted. Never mind that comment. I was sure about Heavenly Sword taking a while, but now I'm remembering that Uncharted didn't have an install.

angelfly said:People are saying the 360 version is cheaper will that be the in all regions?
Just going on special edition pricing:FFChris said:Huh?
Surely there is a UK store that does them the same price as the 360 version?

Unless you have a 20GB PS3 and more than three games that require installs, then you could be going through a 25 minute install more than once.SolidSnakex said:People were joking about someone doing this in another thread, I really can't believe someone is actually going to do it though. It's a DMC game in the long run, a game that's built for replayability so even if it doesn't equal up to 25m of install on 1 run it will on the runs afterwards. Along with that when you're doing those speed runs or just playing around with combos, not having any loadtimes when you exit an area will be a good thing.
FFChris said:I think it's probably MS that doesn't want you to install it on the 360.
andrewfee said:Requiring you to have 5GB installed is ridiculous. I just want to stick in my game and play it.
Jeff-DSA said:I guess it's a non-issue for me in the end because I'll be going with the 360 version. The better controller (tighter sticks, rumble, and more solid buttons) and, I'll admit it, Achievements push it over the top for me. I would have liked to have seen an even experience on both platforms, however.

Francias Castiglione said:4-5 load times are really that unbearable? Did I miss an ADHD epidemic?
Then get a job or stop being cheap then think about it and realize...hey I can upgrade my drive to a much bigger size for cheap no hassle. You have alot of choices with PS3.

In any case, are any of you who are bothered by 20-30min install time (to get a load free game that you will play for hours) also bothered that you have to spend time to go to the store and buy the game, and then get back home? Is eating a lunch or posting on GAF while the game is installing an option for any of you?
Steroyd said:There's achievements in the PS3 version both versions ARE even... did you just copy and paste that reply?
:lol No, seriously :lolRavenFox said:Then go cry a river. Welcome to proper gaming. The HDD is faster than your optical drive for these things. Why not use a great feature when it is standard in EVERY system?
McLovin said:Wait.. I was gonna rent this game. So... does this mean I have it until I delete the data? Or are they gonna require you to put the disc in to play?
Minsc said:If the above is true, that should mean there's no load times on the PC either, and I'm happy with that.
neojubei said:Ps3 version for me, no loadtimes and better controller.
