Craphex Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 So I started out installing 1 or 2 games that I play most so it's quiet and sometimes has better loading times. But as I'm starting to play more and more games at a time, my hard drive is starting to fill up. I do have a 250gb one so it will take a while, about 20 games installed so far, but is it alright to have this many installed at once, it's not going start slowing down on me compared to an empty hard drive with just one game installed?

Burnout x360a Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 No it won't slow you down and I do install all my games (well as many as I can). I only have maybe 4 games installed on my 60GB HDD with like 10GB left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lol Egecan Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I mainly buy from Games on Demand and usually install games that have multiple discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Coin Here Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 i install all games, because the noise of running DVDs sucks...^^ but i didnt install SKYRIM - i was afraid of ugly textures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrosugar Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install all my games before playing them. Though I delete games after I'm done with them, as to make room for the next game(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilled Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install all of my new games before I play them. After past experiences I don't want another RROD situation even though slims can't get it they can over heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just delete some. Who has 20 games on the go at the same time lol. Think I've got 3 or 4 installed at the mo and once finished with, they get deleted. Quiet ftw.

Mister Spraggsy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I usually instal games I know in going to play alot. At the moment I have Skyrim, FIFA 12 and Mass Effect 3 instaled. I will also instal Ghost Recon when that comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't, but still I wouldn't stuff the HDD completely. I always install the games I want to play, usually that's just one retail game and perhaps an Arcade game, along with the occasional demo I'll delete shortly after. Only got 20GB HDD, but so far it's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install all RPG's, Fable 3 makes a huge amount of noise. If I'm playing a game a lot that gets installed as well. Once done and sold, I will delete them off my HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I've got 3 or 4 installed at the mo and once finished with, they get deleted. Quiet ftw. Well I get bored when im doing the same thing for a while, don't know why. I play a game for about half an hour then switch to the next turn back around. About 6 or 8 games a day. Doesn't include playing the one on my laptop at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rep Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install every game that I'm about to play. Once I'm finished, the game gets uninstalled and the next game in the list gets installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercianix Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install them all, then just remove those I've finished or rarely play once I need some more space - don't see a reason NOT to install a game tbh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedComet Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've never installed a game. I really don't see the point of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) I've never installed a game. I really don't see the point of it. Less wear on the disc drive, faster load times, and less noise from the console. Edited April 26, 2012 by Gackt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbaLaBamba Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't bother installing games, I play far too many games over the course of such a small space of time that I don't want to bother. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigor Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 All my games are getting installed to the HDD, simply to put the stress of the drive, the heat out of the box, the load out of times and it runs smooth and quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout x360a Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've never installed a game. I really don't see the point of it. Less heat generated, extremely quiet, can improve performance (i.e. load times) and less wear and tear on the dvd drive to name but a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's the reason why I upgraded to a 250GB HDD. I've installed the games I play on a daily basis and I encourage anyone else to do the same. Less wear and tear on the consoles disc drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugTheBear Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 never have.. now that i put my old 250gb into my slim i might start doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepEmRolling Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install every game I play. When I'm done with it, I delete it with the exception to this being Fable, Borderlands and Sacred 2. I regularly help people with achievements on those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsCen10ial Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 After I got my 250gb slim I installed all my games. I usually leave them until I have completed all DLC and I am sure that I won't play them again. Then I delete them from the HD and trade them in.

Motorexskygtr32 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I install every game that I'm about to play. Once I'm finished, the game gets uninstalled and the next game in the list gets installed. *raises my hand.....same here. However, there is a few games I installed for months and months after I finished it. Halo 3:ODST, Halo Reach (GOD) got it free after the beta disc not working with new dashboard eariler this year, Halo CEA are the mainly I installed even I havent play halo games for awhile. I kept a few games in case of anyone or my friends need help for achievements. That's pretty much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxHu Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 For some reason I install all of my games. Even if I know Im just playing the game long enough to get all the achievements on it then trading it in or something. I just like to save them because I feel the game runs smoother and makes my Xbox do less work. I have the space on my HDD so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
