“Please tell me you’re joking.”

No I’m not I find these installs a joke a one off install would of been fine with me. But all through the game just sucks. Still will get the game but I detest the use of these installs.

“What were you expecting a 2 to 3 minute install to provide? A free hand shandy? Isn’t the game the bit that you paid 40 odd quid for, you know the bit which takes hours to play through?”

I’m sorry if you seem to see it differently but thats how I see it.

I couldn’t give a monkeys myself. I think the whole ‘installs’ thing is laughable from the ground up, but I when it comes down to it, I won’t let it spoil my enjoyment of a game: especially one like MGS4.

“I honestly don’t think I could be bothered sitting through 2 to 3 minute installs just for the next part of the game. If it was 45 seconds to a minute then I would be fine with that even then its pushing it for me.”

What a joke Sony I could forgive you for a one off install but installs through the whole dam game WTF.

Blimey… I’ve never really had an issue with the installs on the PS3, I’ve been a Pc gamer long enough to be used to it. But installs through the game? Thats crazy!

I guess they either install a little at the start and then top it up or they install at the start and overwrite part of it for each act.

Assuming that the leaked box is correct, the hard drive space can’t exceed what that listed (which was what, 5 gigs?). Otherwise it’d be false advertising. I’m hoping that there would be minigames or cutscenes or something to mask the installs.

TBH most of this stuff doesn’t sound like spoilers to me, but I guess it will depend on how the game plays out.

Installs between episodes… What where they thinking!!! How much data will be on the HD by the time the game is over? 10-12 Gigabytes? Sheesh…

Mmm… multi-installs. Because one isn’t enough. =)
