X-Men: Destiny Has A Mandatory Install On PS3

TGH: "It seems once you gear up to play Activisions new X-Men romp, X-Men Destiny you are greeted on the Playstation 3 with a mandatory install screen that is pretty big for a comic book licensed title."

I think Sony should make It Mondotary that there are no mandotory game Installs on the Ps3 unless they are doing what rage does or even GT5 with an install In the background

Its 2011 almost 6 years after the Ps3 came out and developers are still disgustingly lazy I mainly really only Ps3 exclusives so never have much mandotary Installs bar MGS 4 and erm thats all I can think off lol

Fishy Fingers5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

Ah so installs are fine when YOU think the game warrants it, and it's lazy developers when YOU think they don't.

Got it.

Number_135366d ago

Since you are so un-lazy, when is your ps3 game that has no mandatory install releasing? Would love to play it.

strange19865366d ago

Does your keyboard not have a period key?

Quagmire5366d ago

It looked bad from the get go. Oh sure they cancel promising titles like The Avengers or a possible Marvel Universe MMO, but no, shit titles MUST be sold.

antz11045366d ago

Me too......from what I heard the install time may be longer than the gameplay, lol.

Malice-Flare5366d ago

heh, so what else is new? sad to see Silicon Knights reduced to this...

KingPin5366d ago

well this sucks. nothing new, but it still sucks.

heres the thing, if devz see there is going to be an install coming, why dont they just ask sony first party for help on how to avoid it.

killzone, uncharted, GOW3 all have not one install. nevermind that, uncharted doesnt even have a load screen during the game.

i know people say installations arent a big deal and all that, i agree, it really isnt a hassle. but this game is not exactly pushing and boundaries like rage/mgs4.

_Aarix_5366d ago

Well multiplat developers dont want to gimp the xbox version since the ps3 has a low disc read. Luckily installing whats needed to the harddrive works.

vikingland15366d ago

I would rather be able to play the whole game from the HDD. Installs don't bother me when I beat a game I uninstall it. I do this all the time on the 360.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS143d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex193d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos193d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle40193d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio193d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger193d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
