Anyway, I want Skyward Sword. BADLY. It just hit me that I fucking need it ASAP. That and a nunchuk.

I'm a filthy Link fanboy.



Depends on the game. Plenty of PS3 games with 30 minute + install times and even more of a pain if they game has updates. By the time i bought Uncharted 2 i had to wait for 6 updates to download and Install which took around half an hour and...........

That was the day it came out so imagine now with all the updates on top. Installs need to always be optional IMO.

I love the ability to install this gen. Fool proof way of makin sure second hand games work. But I know where you're comin from, it annoys the missus too.

I like it as an option. Some games [open world] get installed right away but a lot of games shouldn't need to be installed.

No, the installs don't take more than 10 minutes. MGS4 and Rage have the biggest installs and it takes around 10 minutes to install them. You are mixing everything up. Patches and big DLC games are totally different than the game install feature.

Complaining about installing is ridiculous and shows how dangerously lazy and peevish the human race is becoming. People moan about 10 minutes of wait (30 if you take an extreme case of installation+patches) when the wait saves them hours of load times. Oh, humanity...

People are so fucking dumb. Nobody reads anymore, nobody goes out and looks and explores the society and culture that they were brought up in. People have attention spans of 5 seconds and as much depth as a glass of water.

I even posted a vid showing a game having longer than 10 minutes. Bioshock 2 takes around 20 minutes and MGS4 has several installs throughout the game to keep the times down. But since the patch you can do it in 1 go and yeah its a long install.

And that's without patches which are a whole different ball game so no I'm not mixing everything up.

And its lazy to complain about having to sit and wait to play a game? :lol: Or going off and doing something else while you wait.

I know the post-patch MGS4 install takes 10 minutes because I did it and MGS4 has the biggest PS3 installation along with Rage. Youtube videos are bullshit, often edited to make it all look far longer than it really is. It's also possible that people use nearly burned-out drives to make them.

No, installs take 10 minutes at max. Stop your irrational propaganda. Patches are a different matter and most of the time it's about people using slow connections to DL them.

It's lazy and peevish as hell when you're so caught up in 10 minutes installs when every human being is wasting years of life on pointless crap. That's part of our existence and 10 minutes PS3 installs are totally insignificant. Plus, it actually helps you save a lot of time afterwards so it's also stupid to complain about it.

It took about 17 min for Uncharted 3 last night to install. Still didn't bother me really. I played Some Uncharted 3. Don;t judge me I set it on the easiest setting because I knew I would suck ass at shooting. I just hate shooting esp manual aiming with analog. In any case I loved exploring that old mansion. Visually VERY impressed and I don;t even ave my HDTV yet. The climbing looks kinda silly but oh well. I did overall enjoy myself.

No, you're mistaken. Installs take no more than ten minutes at max.

It might just be that I still have an old "fat" PS3, but installs usually take longer than 10 minutes for me (depending on the game of course). I know for a fact that the last two Yakuza games took my PS3 longer than 10 minutes to install, as well as Binary Domain.
I'm not complaining though. I don't mind it at all since, as has been mentioned, fifteen to twenty minutes is absolutely nothing in comparison to the benefits of an install. I just take that time to make lunch or something. And the Yakuza games usually have some pretty good music playing during the installs, so it's win-win.
