Life Is Strange Before the Storm install issues
Posted: October 13th, 2019, 8:28 pm
I hate how you need to install games to the PS4/Xbox One and the complications that tend to arise. Tonight I was hoping to play Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, but as usually have to do all the installation BS.
I knew something was a little strange when it said I needed to clear 125MB or something like that, which seemed like a really small amount. Normally you need to clear out 10-50 GB. And since I have an early model PS4, this usually necessitates me to delete a bunch of installed games. What a pain in the ass.
Anyway the install process got stuck on the "preparing" phase, stuck at 99% forever. I was going to let it sit overnight, but decided to do a quick search. Low and behold everybody and their mother is having the same problem. Nobody seems to know what the problem is, but the consensus seems to be to clear a whole hell of a lot of space and try again.
I'm really, really hoping we don't have to waste our time with this install crap with the PS5. This is why I prefer the Switch.
