In the android marketplace, you download a 10mb file from the store. Then you choose to download the actual game from within it. A 200+mb game takes about 15-20+ minutes to download over a strong 3g connection.
i dont care where i am, if a game comes out and i happen to check the store and see a game i want, regardless of size, im gonna buy it there and then
Pretty much this. If for whatever reason there's no wifi nearby I'll leave it on my app store page for the next time I open the app store. Insta reminder. 20MB, 200MB, 1GB - doesn't matter. If I want to play the game I'll get it.
I prefer it not be over 300 or so mb, unless I just know ahead of time that the game has some crazy depth or crazy good graphics then it's likely just bloated coding. But I do fully expect any ports of playstation/computer games to be more in the 500-700mb range. Truly can't say that I've ever considered size as a detractor from purchasing a game though. If a game is good, a game is good, period. Price, size, nothing really contributes more to whether I buy a game or not than the quality of the game.
I mentioned this before, but as an 8 GB owner, I expect "crazy depth or crazy good graphics" if a game is 200+ MB. I've gotten quite a few games over that limit because I really wanted them so it's not like size is something I immediately am turned off by. But if it's something I'm unsure of, or think there's no real reason it should be huge, I do have to take that into consideration. A 300 MB game may mean deleting a dozen games for my iPod Touch. So it's gotta be something I really want.
i dont even check the size, lol. i usually check the appstore before going to bed, buy all that i want, and there all done when i wake up however space is becoming a problem now as i only have like 1.2gb left on a 64gb ipad and choosing what to delete for now is really hard, lol
Ahhh, I could only dream of having 64 GB to play with. I don't put music on my iPod Touch (yeah, kind of crazy, huh) but I still fill up 8 GB and would guess that I probably own close to 100 GB of iOS apps on my PC.
Yeah, I routinely download games up to 500mb using wi-fi straight to my device. Not even an issue for me at all.
