I will admit that I did not play this game, Bionic Commando on the PS3 and only on the 360. As I do with pretty much all games that I have the option. Though I will also say that I didn't encounter any loading times that were any longer than any other game now-a-days, so either the PS3 version does have long loading times I didn't see on the 360 or Yahtzee has far less of a tolerance for that kind of thing than I do. Obviously by what by what we can guess of Yahtzee's tolerance concerning anything in gaming, the latter is definitely an option.TheFace said:Actually, loading times in game are much better on the PS3, but you do have to sit through 20 mins of install.Syphith said:Quoted for MFing truth. Seriously, funny review like always, but if you want to get away from long loading times and installs, don't play all your multi-platform games on the PS3. There's really no reason to.TornadoADV said:Play BC on the Xbox 360, loading problem solved.
It's a fair trade off in my opinion. And some games like SCIV don't do it automatically, they give you the option.
I'm sure if there was an optional 20 minute install for 360 games a lot of you would do it to cut down on in-game loading. I know I would.
EDIT: Also, why all the Pepsi hate? Pepsi's slightly nicer than coke. Except Cinema coke. That stuff's magical.
Also yes, I realize the purpose of the installs, they wouldn't bother me if they were all optional, as you mentioned it is with SCIV. Also as you apparently aren't aware, there is an option now to install 360 games to the hard drive, but that's what it is, an option, one you have to choose to do on your own. An option I've taken a few times in the past, once I played a game and realized on my own it might be useful. It's a big difference from having it forced on you like with a good majority of big titles on the PS3.
