8 Minutes = first install, when you start the game.

Then before each act, the time it takes to install is as follows

Act 2 - 3 mins
Act 3 - 3 mins
Act 4 - 2 mins
Act 5 - 1 min

It should be noted that these shorter installs are because the cut scenes in between acts are like mini movies. 30 minutes+ is what I'm hearing and they only have to be loaded once on the first play through.......

 

[Dabookerman]

Still easier to swap a disk.

Installs ONCE. After that, nothing.

Swapping disc every single time...

I see no benefit -_-

 

[birdman]

Why is the voice acting so bad? Not a troll, serious question. Snake sounds awful.

Hayter is using an "older" Snake voice in MGS4, if that's what you're referring to.

 

[Darkpen]

ADD much? Can't sit still?

 

[djkimothy]

I couldn't resist but see this easter egg. Very nice. :lol

 

[manueldelalas]

It's only a 1 time deal. When you replay the game, it doesn't happen. Also, NO GAME HAS EVER BEEN 50GB.

why would you want to replay this game? The story is great, but after it is done, it's done...
And being 50GB when most of the disk is filled with repeated data because of the slow disc drive...

 

[MWS Natural]

I thought I read somewhere that years of doing the exaggerated Snake voice has left David Hayter's vocals in a bad state, which is why he sounds bad in SSBB too.

Seriously? That sucks if true, it's not like he did the voice constantly everyday though...

 

[mabuza]

bow :lol :lol

 

[Ynos Yrros]

Dont care about MGS4 but It took me seconds to swap the BD and LO Disks, not 8 or 3 or 2 or even 1 minute seconds...

Are you taking loading times into account at all?

 

[Creamium]

Hayter is using an "older" Snake voice in MGS4, if that's what you're referring to.

Yeah I get that, but I will say that it's getting painful to listen to as well

What if you only play the game once?

 

[Darkpen]

wait, is it 8 minutes for the one install, or is it 8 minutes for the initial install, then subsequent installs for the acts?

"Older" sounding isn't exactly how I'd describe it, but ok.

 

[karasu]

Still easier to swap a disk.

?? It's easier to maintain one disk than it is to maintain five. Who WANTS to swap discs? Who defends sapping discs? So strange.

Well big deal. I feel sorry for the loss of 15 minutes of your life.

 

[Nif]

and they only have to be loaded once on the first play through.......

I've heard otherwise, but maybe it was changed for retail copies. I don't think I care about mid-game installs or disc swapping. I just find it funny when anyone can prefer one and bash the other. :lol Go console wars.

 

[Open Source]

The joke would have been a lot funnier if they'd left it at swapping disk 1 and disk 2 instead of yammering on about playstation 3 and blu-ray. Kind of like those extraneous panels in the comic strip with the furries.

 

[birdman]

"Older" sounding isn't exactly how I'd describe it, but ok.

It does sound gravelly as fuck, I must admit.

sometimes, GAF makes me sad

These are one-time-only installs, right? You don't have to wait between acts the second time you play?

Edit: Wow I'm late.

like I said dont care about MGS4, I dont want to sit down and watch over hours worth of cutscenes, When I turn on my console, I want to play a game not watch a movie. Kojima should not be poking fun at disk swaps when his games have an average of 5 minute installs.

 

[TheOddOne]

i love the sarcastic voice otocon :lol :lol

 

[chubigans]

:lol

Seriously?

No.

 

[Kagari]

This complaining about installs shit really needs to stop.

Kojima and subtlety don't exactly mesh most of the time.

Why the hell do you even want to play the game..

 

[Doc Evils]

:lol

Seriously?

Just bitter tears.

 

[Emiru]

:| I dont

 

[Luckyman]

And the 360 version pokes fun at installations? Oh wait..

 

[Kunan]

VGCats' influence spreads.

Maybe they could've talked about how the blu-ray is so slow they need to install cache. I kid, I kid, I like the idea of only using one disc.

 

[neojubei]

Kojima wins the console war.

He always does.

 

[Ganondorfo]

The codec system looks amazing, I always wondered how the codec system will look like in mgs4.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

This complaining about disk swapping shit really needs to stop.

Fixed

 

[godhandiscen]

That was funny, but Kojima is really infatuated with BluRay and "OMG teh dual layer". Still, nice jab.

:lol

That is stupid and a waste of time.

That is one of the things I hate about the mgs games. All this unnecessary dialog. I just want to play the damn game, not listen to these douches talk for hours on end!!!!

 

[NomarTyme]

Be carefull.. spoilers in the comments

Thank goodness I didn't scroll down.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

:| I dont

So your in a thread about a game you have no interest in playing? Hmmm. Interesting.

 

[manueldelalas]

:lol

Seriously?

For a game that is 50% movie, and 50% good but not great and many times tedious gameplay, where you have to play 4 other games to understand the story (or cheat and watch the GT retrospective), I really don't see the point replaying it... Would be like replaying an RPG.

 

[LM4sure]

You are awesome! I posted something similar. I'm glad to see I'm not alone! I'm sure the gameplay will be fun, but at what cost? Hours of dialog and a terrible story (imo).

 

[Tutomos]

I guess you don't like foreplay either.
