Fortune City, Nevada is big and loading it from the game disc is very painful as it will give gamers a lengthy load times. With Dead Rising 2 releasing in North America tomorrow, is installing the game’s data recommended?

i sthis a problem for 360 owners?

Active Reload5708d ago

A problem? Nah, more like an option. Its funny, I just got through writing another comment on this in another article. Its almost eerie...hmmmmm...

HammockGames5708d ago (Edited 5708d ago )

In fact, it's even advisable IMHO.

Less wear and tear on the disc drive, discs themselves, and less heat production = probably better life of the console (perhaps more a concern for older models, but still not a bad idea). Not to mention it's just quieter.

I install all my 360 games to the HDD for these reasons.

TROLL EATER5708d ago

should load all dem zombies even faster

Christopher5708d ago

It does, which makes the ridiculous load times even with the optional install make you wonder how bad they are on the disc.

Are hard drive installs normal to have now? Or is this diffetent from a game install.

MightyMark4275708d ago

I am more towards to full game data install since I have a 250GB HDD.

Active Reload5708d ago (Edited 5708d ago )

Yeah, I have a 120 gig with around 9-10 games installed and 49 gigs left on it. The largest bit of data I have, I think, is Gears 2, which is 6.8 gigs, everything else is 4-5 gigs each, in data.

... Got myself a 250GB Halo Reach Limited Edition Xbox 360.. So space is no problem for me, Ever. :P

Raikiri5708d ago (Edited 5708d ago )

Edit:Are you trolling? your supposed to get the game too..

''The $399 price tag also nets you two special edition wireless controllers and, naturally, a copy of the game itself''

@JustSomeLogic

JustSomeLogic5708d ago

Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...

Darksonic222109d ago

Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁

InklingGirl2109d ago

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

Complacency and new teams who didn't understand what made the series special.

Darksonic222109d ago

Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.

ColdSin2109d ago

DR4 should have not been made anyways. DR3 closed everything nicely.

darthv722109d ago

Check out the vid i posted above.

MadLad2109d ago

They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.

RamRod882109d ago

They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.

DeadManMMX2109d ago

This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.

Gamerking822109d ago

But you never know it might be RISING again someday .

moriarty18892109d ago

haha yes it may....good one.

The paddle bat and string ball from Fallout should be considered too.

Chaos_Order2172d ago

I would've included Tira's ring blade from Soul Calibur.
