Stranglehold Takes Hold Of Your Harddrive - 50GB Space Required To Install (Directly)

Krunal | September 22, 2007 | News | PC

Whilst the game only takes 12GB to download onto your hard-drive, actually installing the game onto your hard-drive is another matter. Taking a whooping 50GB to install on your computer, it really does take hold of your hard-drive, especially if you don't have that much space at hand. The good news (if you can call it that) is that once the installation is completed, you can remove most of the files.

Stranglehold requires 50GB of free hard disk space during the installation process but, once installed, the setup files can be removed or stored elsewhere. If installing Stranglehold to a secondary drive, your system's primary drive requires 20GB of free hard disk space during the installation process.

  No, just the PC version. The console version can run of the discs and usually the amount it stores is around 2Gigs, especially since the XBOX360 doesn't guarantee that there's a Harddrive available, and if there is, most only have one with a max capacity of 20GB. The PS3 guarantees atleast 18 with max around 55, but in any case I wouldn't expect the download to be more than 2Gigs for the consoles.

hey, its called stranglehold for a reason...

But once the game installs it should remove the extra files. Game companies forget that not everyone has access to terabyte drives

  But if you have it on an secondary drive, it still takes 20Gigs of your primary... that's ridiculous.
