Topic: General PlayStation 4 Thread

Sony Interactive Entertainment. I haven’t deleted UC4, UCLL, Detroit or HZD off yet and have added Spider-Man. I have a decent amount of Square Enix and Sega as well, but the biggest games they take up the most memory space are Sony’s. @FullbringIchigo

Hmm. Off the top of my head probably Ubisoft. Between For Honor/R6: Siege and AC:Unity/Ezio Collection it takes up a good 190GB. And then I’m sure I have a few other Ubi games that take up some space too.

@FullbringIchigo This is cool, how do you find this out?

@Gremio108 well i have my games sorted into folders so all you do is go to the folder but DON'T open it, instead press start and then click on information in the pop up menu and it will show you how big the folder is which is the size of all the installed content in said folder

@FullbringIchigo Ah right I get it now. I thought there was some crazy publisher info button I didn't know about.

I've got my folders sorted in a really stupid way. I've got the games I'm currently playing in one, then the kids games in another, then it's the to-do list games. Oh and there's one for general party games, and one for games I know I'm not going to play again but can't bring myself to delete.

@Gremio108 i have one for Square Enix games, one for Capcom, one for Comic Book based games, one for Star Trek and Star Wars games and one for Anime based games as those are the ones i have the most of, everything else in either in a folder for Digital games or one for Physical games (basically if i have at least 4 games of a certain type or manufacturer then they get their own folder)

oh and i have one folder for all the other apps like Share Factory, YouTube, Netflix and those kind of things

Don't have folders for games, just for some of the other apps like media player and headset companion app. Plus i usually delete games once I'm finished with them, especially single player games like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War. Most of the games I've got installed are either ones I've yet play or finish.

@FullbringIchigo I thought you couldn't move apps like Netflix and YouTube, they are stuck in that TV & Film section?

@FullbringIchigo i wish that we could make subfolders

@FullbringIchigo To your question, easily Ubisoft. I have the entire AC series and also the entire FarCry series. Not sure how many gigs altogether, but I'm sure it's a hefty load.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah but you can move that TV & Film one into a folder

@ellsworth004 that would be nice

@JohnnyShoulder yeah i delete games i'm done with too unless i really really like them

@Kidfried how big is RDR2 now? it has to be one of the biggest games of this generation

I delete games once I’m done with them. Seems I’m in the minority doing that on here..

@Thrillho like i said it depends on the game but mostly i delete them once i'm done but if i ever do get the urge to play them again it takes FOREVER for most to update now a days that by the time it's done i don't want to play it anymore hence why i keep certain games installed

I hoard games on my HDD just like I hoard equipment when I’m playing an RPG. I haul around swords and armor for hours that I never use. Every time I discard or sell a gun in Borderlands 2 to make room for a new one in my inventory I shed a tear. 😢
“Goodbye my darling level 35 Jakob’s pistol with you’re wonderful 50% melee bonus... we’ve had some good times together ... I’ll always remember the time we spent in the Caustic Caverns...”😭

@FullbringIchigo I get you on that point. When I went back to Witcher 3 to play the DLC, it took forever to reinstall the game with all the updates, free DLC etc.

@Th3solution I hate that about looter shooters. Torgue shotguns transcend all levels though as explosive shotguns always do good damage.

@FullbringIchigo I always check this page before buying a retail game so I know how many hours I have to wait before playing it...

@FullbringIchigo Square-Enix. I don't know the amount of space as I can't currently access my PS4, but I have more games by them than any other publisher (9 I think).

I delete most of my games when I'm done playing them. It's nice to have your entire library on your console at once, but not nice enough that I want to have to invest in another hard drive.

Anyway, I divide my folders into Backlog/Beaten (but still want to revisit)/PS Plus games. No idea which publisher dominates on my system right now, although it wouldn't really be representative of my purchase history as a whole.

I think Warner Brothers is the lead on my PS4 at the moment because of Shadow Of War (Which I may drop and delete) + Mortal Kombat XL followed by Bethesda if only cus of DOOM's gigantic size and Skyrim.

Other then that my hard drive is pretty scattershot with a number of games like Odin Sphere, Digimon Hacker's Memory, Ape Escape 2, Wild Arms 3, Dark Cloud 1 and Dark Chronicle being no more then 20 Gb for the lot along with a few others like Dark souls 2 & 3, Persona 5 that are no bigger then 20gigs each.

I usually keep games I wanna come back to and/or I know have a number of large updates on the system and delete as needed... I have like 300gb storage left or so

@mookysam i have about 20 Square Enix games on my PS4 second would be Bandai Namco with 11 and third is capcom with 10

I never delete my games mainly cause I never know when I might want to play them again. Also with a 5tb HD it's not like I need the space anytime soon.
