Garbage Games that Clutter your HDD

PSUni writes "PS3 owners are subjected to slightly more crappiness, however, with developers opting for mandatory installs of their games to cut down load times and increase overall performance. I don't know about you, but I can forget that these giant blocks of data even exist long after I've gotten rid of the offending software. Next thing I know, there's only a dozen or so gigabytes left on my 160 GB hard drive and that shit's not cool."

Quantum Theory was 5.1 GB? thank god I didn't buy the game.

HolyOrangeCows5689d ago

LOL, none of these games are even ones that I would think to play.

mushroomwig5689d ago

Pain is one, why the heck haven't I deleted it yet?

Zeevious5689d ago

try the Move patch...It's even more mindless fun with it.

BiggCMan5689d ago

omg theres a move patch for pain!!!?? damn i missed that one. ive had pain since it came out but never played it to much cuz i never got any of the add ons. i will definitely re download it now, thanks for the unintentional new info!

Zeevious5688d ago

I'm actually much better with Move than I am with the Dualshock controls! They even included more advanced functions like using the 4 buttons around the Move button to grab!

I wasn't sure I would like this, but I'm glad I tried it out, it's much more intuitive to just flip the character with Move than with controls.

I've actually thrown Elvira so far she's gone all the way off the map!

You get a bigger hard drive, why isn't MGS4 on that list? I mean with the installing and the updates for the online, it takes about 10GB.

Why me and my friends haven't remove MGS4 from are hard drives? Because we don't feel like reinstalling it or even downloading all the updates again.

Motorola5689d ago (Edited 5689d ago )

Cuz MGS4 is not a Garbage game. All the games on those list are garbage

Neko_Mega5689d ago

Soccom isn't a garbage game, so yeah this is bs.

Besides most ps3 users have the space anyways.

Motorola5689d ago

It wasnt garbage but it was a letdown as some Socom players say. I wouldnt know...I only played the PSP variations

Neko_Mega5689d ago

It was the only one I enjoy the most, ps2 ones ok.

Zeevious5689d ago (Edited 5689d ago )

to just upgrade your drive. 500 gigabytes for $60 and 15 minutes of your actual time (plus time for the automatic backup)

Check NewEgg for - Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD5000BPVT 500GB

3 Steps!
Backup from old drive
Swap Drive for new one
Restore to new drive

That's pretty much it!

For another $15 you can get an external enclosure to use your old drive as an external backup for your computer or anything.
Check out Newegg - Rosewill RX25
(Didn't want those links reported for spam)

$60 or $75 for the whole 500 gig package sounds like a great deal to me.

ExPresident5689d ago

My 500GB HDD doesn't care tho :)

I used to go back and delete old game data who when I had the original 60GB in it, but now I don't even care. I like having all my games available when and if I want them.

Amplitude5689d ago

:D 500GB <3

and yeah, lol@the disagrees. Gotta love N4G. xD

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle41d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde48d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy48d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12548d ago (Edited 48d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga50d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199249d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga49d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman49d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger49d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box50d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion49d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7250d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7549d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit49d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14949d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7749d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
