I disagree with Totilo;WHY should an installation time be factored in when reviewing a game???Shouldn’t the review only cover gameplay,graphics,controls and such,and not the time it takes ’til you start PLAYING the game????????
I find this to be really weird,and in my opinion,they’re making a big deal out of nothing.If the mandatory installs occur in-game,that is;they occur after you’ve started playing the game in intervals of sorts,then I can understand if a reviewer factors this in,seeing as how it alters the gameplay experience.But if it all occurs before the actual game even starts,then it’s just a pointless fact.
^ but don’t you want to play the game, I don’t know, when you put the disk in?
People bitched about the install size and time on GTA IV, that’s why they don’t want it discussed. Personally, I plan on upgrading the HDD soon, so it matters little to me.
