@ Mike, The games you like to list exist in tunnels essentially. You go in one direction and you have limited scope.
The games which require installs tend to be nothing like the games which do not, do you catch the difference?
GTA IV, Open world, install.
Uncharted, Tunnel fantastic, no install.
COD IV, Tunnel fantastic, no install.
Obivion came out a year after the 360 version and it still required an install.
For whatever reason, the practical response from developers creating open world type multi-platform games is to require installs. If they weren't required then they wouldn't be mandatory.
Tease.
