I recently bought the 2021 remaster of a strategy game from 2004 and it was almost 50 GB. Add another 12 GB if for some reason you want the 4k textures on models from 2004. This game used to come on a CD.
No it’s fine, I’ll just buy another external hard drive
Diablo 2 lod installed: 3 gb Diablo 2 resuracted 25 gb
Is 4k images consuming that much more space?
No, but raw audio and high res 3d models are
The uncompressed sizes make for a much faster install. Repackers like FitGirl compress the duck out of the game files to make the download smaller but it takes ages to install the games afterwards.
Y’all wanted 4K Next Gen Gwaphix well that shits gonna cost you some storage space lol
Sucks but whatever. Been happening since the beginning.
Cyberpunk is like 70GB
And Starfield is more than twice that. It’s ridiculous.
There’s no reason for it.Starfield is pretty huge though isn’t it? I dunno, it feels like if any games should take that much storage space, it’s a massive space game.
well space is mostly empty/s
Do you have like solid number of reasonable gigabytes a game can be? How did you arrive to this number exactly?
You don’t uNdERstAnD, a game must be less than 1GB in size or it’s unOpTiMiZeD.
But at the same time, man I’m sick of these last gen/old non raytracing cards are holding us back! Where are my rig melting next gen games?!?! Oh wait I have to download 100GB and still turn down settings to High!?!? unOpTiMiZeD!! furiously leaves bad steam review
I’d prefer they spend time optimizing CPU, GPU, RAM usage instead of storage size.
In third world, internet is expensive, so shit like this would cause alot of people to have to download it over more than a month
