Enjoy your Call of Duty

I know storage is cheap, but nearly half a terabyte? I'm already giving any game the side eye if it takes more than 50G of space on a disk, let alone nearly 10x that.

I FUCKING LOVE DEEP ROCK GALACTIC!

FOR SUCH A SMALL PRICE AND ONLY 5GB OF SPACE REQUIRED YOU GET INSANE AMOUNTS OF CONTENT AND FUN!

No, I can't believe you. I don't want to believe you. A +400GB game, come on. Seriously.

I don't get why modern AAA refuses to compress / distribute lower storage requirement assets.

Meanwhile, I'm playing an indie game that's less than a gig and enjoying it. But I'm not much for fps games.

Better hardware make gamedevs more lazy, remember when they managed to squeeze a game with 3d+music into a CD? (Lego island) now 100+GB for a below average and unfinished game, back then if you have mid even low end PC you can still enjoy most if not all the games (1990-2009) ever released now devs just know everyone have high end PC to play their 10 minutes games before you got board and play solitaire instead

Games which needs a NASA computer and a half Google server to play it with more than 15 FPS are not necesarly better as some 15 years old games for Win XP, they only have somewhat better graphics.

Remembering old Games, like Black Messiah or Tomb Rider from 2013, which work at >30-50 FPS with a few Gigs HD and less than 4 Gigs RAM, apart of having very good graphics.

New games often also are badly optimized, needing way more min sys specs as needed for the quality they offer.

Someone remember the game kkrieger? A short 3D FPS in a single file with only 96 KB, that is art. It can still be downloaded (abandonware, Windows)

They legitimately don't even try optimizing anymore.

Because it's the only game your console will have with the shitass packing they do

I swear ark survival evolved is a fucking zip bomb. There is no way that game is 350gb and has been for years. I had to install it on a second drive.

410.13 GB? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Why in the ungodly flying fuck fallen from hooker heavens is this game half a terabyte??

Ark: Survival Evolved is a Chinese developer. It's the worst offender so far as I know.

When do people stop buying games based off their disk size? 100gb is my limit after that IDC what game it is or how good I'm not getting it. Mark my words if we dont tell these game devs to fuck off with huge sizes or at least get them to make lighter versions without 4k textures and compress the audio or something then we will see 1tb games soon enough

that space required is bigger than my games collection and downloads and the family photos combined

I thought this was a joke at first.

I love The Dark Mod, it shows what it means to make a good Game, above it's OpenSource and a game for years.

Spider-man 2 used like 100gb but at least you could fast travel with no load screens due to the ps5 SSD

The only game i own that needs a lot of storage is gta5 online

I got it because it was free. I dont even have it installed because it needs too much space

I will, the zombies mode is everything I've ever wanted it to be. Finally.

Do deduplicating filesystems do bit-level deduplication? Wouldn't change unoptimized media, but still curious, what the difference would be.

People really out here still giving away a half a hard drive nowadays to malevolent settler propaganda? Could not be me.

Y'all still crying over the install size of a game you don't even like? 😐

Space must be required in IEC units instead of SI units. All the FOSS use IEC units.
