I've just installed Devil May Cry 4...
...and it took literally over half an hour to install
 Easily the longest install of any game I've ever owned.I wonder if it's time to upgrade my DVD drive?  Can anyone beat that time for a lengthy game installation?! |

When I installed Age of Conan on my laptop, it took just under an hour and a half. Then I had to download the 600mb odd patch.

FSX took an age to instal but I can't remember how long, Worst thing about instals is leaving them to it & then coming back to find you have to Click on Yes to Proceed AGAIN
 & You're only 3 mins into the instal

Not sure what mine reads at, laptop's less than a year old though so shouldn't be too slow in theory.....in the end I left it on while I went out as at least it was a fairly simple install
 Just a matter of waiting ages.

It's been so long since I installed a computer game I'd forgotten you had to install them! I used to be a die-hard PC gamer - I had consoles but in the main I played PC games, mainly FPSs, which consoles couldn't touch. Kingpin, RtCW, NOLF, Max Payne, Serious Sam, Half-Life, Delta Force, Medal of Honour, CS, etc. Then I got FEAR, and it played like a dog, even though I had pretty decent equipment. A few months later and I got a 360, and the only game I've bought for the PC since then is STALKER, which I'd had on pre-order for 3 freakin' years. Consoles have become so much better at FPSs since then, and due to everything coming out on all formats I can't see me getting another PC game again. The idea of installing a game seems really odd after three years of not having to do it.

I gather you have to install games on the PS3 don't you?
 So it isn't just a PC thing.I think PCs are inherently far superior for FPS games as well, due to the control (mouse and keyboard). Although DMC is a third person, gamepad game of course. |

Devil May Cry? Install? You mean you're not playing it on a console as you should?
