what u guys do?

what do u guys do when your finished with a game ?
1.uninstall it right away
2.leave to play later
3.leave for a while then delete it
4.none of the above

your input...........

 

I usually leave it until my desktop starts to get cluttered, then I delete. For games that have a lot of replay or benchmarking value, (like Crysis, mmo's, racing games) I just leave them since I have plenty of hard drive space.

 

I just leave them on there until I have to reformat, and then just don't put them on again.

 

what will u guys say is a good replay value game...............

 

I'll left them on my laptop.
Maybe I would play them again and sometime use them to test the laptop performance.

 

I usually leave all the games there. I mean, unless I'm missing hard drive space, then I can always replay any of them if I ever feel like it

 

if it is on steam i just delete but if it is not i just let it "getting dust" on the computer

 

If the game is really good, I start up a new game right after. Recent ones I can remember so far, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, Mirror's Edge, Dark Sector, FEAR 2, Cryostasis, probably Rise of The Argonauts and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway that I just completed this week. Of course it also depends on what is released at the same time as well, I may move on to another new release. On the second play through I will record the parts that I want, as I make videos of the games for YouTube.

 

Games with lots of quests and different paths can you take within the storyline, like FFVII or Fable. Or just racing games that are fun to play over and over. If it's a game with a linear storyline then it has less replay value.

 

Usually leave my games on the pc.....if i dont enjoy the game it gets the boot straight away.......then i may re-install it at a later point......did that with the orginal baldarsgate, didnt like it to start with so uninstalled it, put it on 2 years later and absolutely loved it......tastes changed i guess.

 

well i felt bad cuz i was bored and i guess cuz i want my comp. to look u know professional and what i mean by that is not have any games u know just leave the laptop for school and you know surf the web im not to play games no more dont knoe why........i was gonna trade my current laptop for a business notebook like hp 6510b or dell vostro 1400 but no one has one so im gonna have to wait but i regret uninstalling all my games like quake 4, GTA:san andreas, mercenaries 2, 007 quantum of solace, bioshock,call of duty 2, call of duty 4, fallout 3, dawn of war dark crusade and combat arms........oh well

 

^^ why dont you just re-install them again?.only takes a little time and then you have the games there for when you want to play them?

 

You know, if you want your laptop to look professional you can just create a hidden folder and stick all your games there.

 

Simple.

Leave it if it is good (HL2) or if it has alternate gameplay (Oblivion).

Delete it if it has no replay value at all or if I just don't like it.

Although these days its better to uninstall if you're not going to play in a while for the sake of recovering a DRM install.

 

Keep the good ones, out with the bad ones.

 

I uninstall them if/when I complete them or get bored of a certain title. I'll back up the save games and also save any patches to an external HDD just in case it's a long while before I feel nostalgic and reinstall a particular game.

 

I just leave them there unless I am running out of space. I also back up saved game data.

 

good games stay...every computer ive ever had has had diablo 1 & 2 and warcraft 3 since they released...most others get removed.

 

Depends on how much I liked the game and where I installed it. BioShock, for example, will wit on my desktop hard drive until infinity and beyond (or at least until it breaks or something <: ). I usually don't delete games I went through, while playing on my desktop. However on my laptop the only games I leave are those from Steam - TF2, UT3, GMod, HL2 M and Portal.

 

That's true for me, too. I ensure I always have Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri installed on any computer I have. " Don't leave now. The drones need you."

 

i keep some of them so i can play them when im no longer fed up.

 

well it took 3 hours yesterday for me to install all my games (all 11 to be exact)
and then defrag my hard drive just a habit i guess but now i only have 20gb hd space lol oh well u win some u lose some...............but im happy playing cant play much now though got finals coming up so gotta get ready............

 

I immediately delete and post it up on Ebay for a quick sale.

 

Games with good sandbox environments like Saints Row 2, GTA SA, GTA IV etc. Almost any game that has really good AI where each time you play, the situation changes and how enemies respond are different, like Halo.
