What's the Point?

So I was at my friends house this weekend and he discovered he could install games to his 360 hard drive so amazed he went and rented a game then installed it afterwards it told him he had to insert the disc soooo... why even install it?

 

[Kobrag]

Some people are stupid like that.

 

[Fall of Denial]

A bunch of my friends thought that too. AFAIK, installing it to your hard drive does nothing.

 

[leprechaun]

You mean like many games still are with the PC?

 

[arbites_augmented]

All that needs to be done now is to install the No CD crack. Although I'm not sure that's legal, and in no way condone it.

As far as I'm aware, it speeds up playing.

Oblivion went from a laggy peice of **** to a very smooth game after installation. Same for Fallout 3.

Hmm, I'm going to need to try that.

Of course it speeds up the game. Hard drive transfer rates are almost always better than CD/DVD drive transfer rates.

How was Fallout 3 laggy for you? It was NEVER laggy for me, everything was smooth...like chocolate mousse cake....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *gurgle*

 

[Fall of Denial]

Framerate issues were rarely an issue for me in Fallout, but in Oblivion...a pretty moderate problem.

It speeds loading times, essentially.

I must admit I expected this thread to be an E/N piece about how the OP was depressed and undergoing an existential crisis.  Damn. 

 

[Selothi]

Me too, Merentha. And like you, damn.

 

[AgentSword]

See what you people did? You got Merentha's hopes up for ANOTHER political discussion, and now he's disappointed! For SHAME!!!

 

[Krik]

Don't really get how my depression would have been political.

Me too. I was preparing my best "It's okay, man, we all go through this, just try to wait out the worst of it and then you'll see light at the end of the tunnel" stuff even as I was clicking on the thread.

 

[leprechaun]

I was looking for an opening for a touch of cynical laughter

 

[Rabid Potatoe]

Yes, it's wrong for people to use such titles for their threads and then fail to deliver.

 

[Krik]

Sowwy

Actually, be my guest.
