I agree, i think the option for both views should always be considered nowadays but then i did ask politely for the FPS view in the 1st mass effect before the game was made just like many others did, and they didnt even acknowledged us FPS hardcoe fans in there future games sadly

I'm not for sure, but Bioware said that ME3 has atleast 2 1/2 hours of cutscenes......thats a lot of animation and video. Im not tech savvy, but I'm pretty sure 2 1/2 hours of cutscenes would take up significant space

I like Bioware, but not a big fan of ME. That said, I don't care to make comparisons. Just taking the issue on it's own account, I don't like the small game size. Although I play on 360, this is probably the main reason it is so (definitely not a fault of consoles in general. The PS3 uses 25 gig disks.. 50 if dual layered).

My Oblivion install is currently 30Gb.
But it has no more "gameplay" than it did to start with, really...

Jeez. Shut up, hater.

I fast travel all I like and have been playing Skyrim for months. I'm still discovering new things, and you know what? It's probably because I fast travel a lot. I end up skipping things only to discover them later.

Also, a day is 24 hours. In case you didn't do the math, 24 x 5 = 120. There are a lot of people, myself included, who have had characters with that many or more hours invested in them, and still created other characters with dozens or over a hundred hours poured in. And guess what? Some of us use fast travel.

Sheesh, man...all this hating is getting old. Go dirty someone else's forum; I think this community has had enough nonsense concerning this.

And at the end of the day, ME3 may have more content. It might even be a better game, depending on who you ask and even what awards it wins. But do you really have to spend your time bashing fast travel? Come on

After reading this thread im gonna base all my future game purchases solely on the size of em........................................................................

Huh. I was going to go back to playing Ultima IV, but by your logic, with it being only 600 KB, it should only have like 1 second of gameplay, so why bother?

Maybe he got the point now. Thanks for your reply.

Does not compare to how much time people put into skyrim on average. Look at Rage, they game was huge, but it was all those textures. I hear the gameplay wasnt that great...

Ever thought a lot of that space could be cutscenes?

How big was Morrowind's install size? So far I have got more game time out of it than all the ME games combined. How about Oblivion, FO3, or New Vegas, how big were they? And windows 7 is 60 times larger than the OS I'm using(chrome OS), but the OS I'm using does everything far far faster starting with its near instant boot up, and is as close to virus proof as you are going to get on a personal laptop(at least according to the anti-virus industry and the hackers who were offered $20k if they could hack it.. they didn't).

Size is not everything. Actually a lot of the time being bigger just equals being slower, clumsier, and more likely to have bugs. Like windows 7.

And only having fast travel is not a plus. In ME games you fly from planet to planet, then explore 1/10,000 of 1 city... Sure the cities are smaller in TES games, but it is fantasy vs sci fi, there will be that difference. TES has the option of fast travel because if you want you can walk and explore everything.

That great feeling when you succesfully chase a troll away.

I played ME3 on insanity and beat it in two days.

First it's no problem filling the disk with video, or simply lots of sounds and textures you use once. As the game is 5 days or 40 hours gameplay I say you will only see most once.

Secondly Skyrim is 5.8GB, with the texture pack it grows to 8.5GB.
Yes they could used more speech, only thing I really miss who would increase game size.
Could also included more armor and other items but here we run into console hardware limitations, to many npc in to many different outfits require more resources.

ME3 svcks balls to tell you the truth. All the choices you made in the first two games are pointless. Bioware can't make decent games these days anymore, they should just stop trying.

I heard the opposite. That some players saw results going all the way back to ME1.

I'm just not in a gun or sci-fi mood personally.. and rarely am. I still like Dragon Age though (even though DA2 had many faults).

my skyrim install is actually 13gb with mods but even stock i thought it was about 9gb. Is the op just seeing this as install data on ps3? or is he on pc? and the install size of a game doesnt determine how good it is, your a fool if you think it does.

He is on PS3.

ME? Middle Earth? Mongoose Evasion? (A Rhetorical question - don't answer that)

It's not the size of the install - it's how you use it.

Yeah, I went there. That said, when you add mods, it gets bigger... I bet my install size is bigger than yours!

really now you're comparing this to chrome and windows? wtf you guys are tards....

So hes just seeing what is installed on the hdd? he does realise it reads the rest of the data from the disc????

ME3 has more content than Skyrim?

Really?

Obviously the game is full of optional areas, exploration and sidequests... oh wait, it's not.

That's not true at all

I'm not sure if he does. All I remember is that he posted something similar on the PS3 section.
