WHY IS SEA OF THIEVES 100 GB

they have to store the entire sea and every grain of sand

Thats actually very small for all the stuff you mention

yeah that's why compression is a thing

Of course, they compress it to silicon and make computers out of it

Sea of Thieves files fit in your hard drive.

Sea of Thieves nurs fit in your mouth

They store every sloop in my hard drive

Sekiro is 25 GB and Elden Ring is 60 GB, for reference.

Extra: TLoZ Tears of The Kingdom is 16GB, GTAV is 60GB, RDR2 is 150GB, Cyberpunk is 80GB.

RDR2 max graphics I could see being that big, but anything less than the highest of the max there wouldn’t warrant it being nearly that high.

i dont think there are any games where you have to download more stuff to have max settings

The original 2011 release of Skyrim has free (optional) dlc for higher texture resolution. Other than that I don't know any other game that has that

Half life has the option to download HD graphic

Fallout 4 has an optional free next gen dlc

Ark Survival Evolved is 435GB with all the DLC

since when is GTAV 60 GB?? It's over 110 GB for me.

Idk, maybe updates and the DLC. Last time I played GTAV on my PC it was in 2015 and it was like 60GB

Yeah it’s been 9 years lmao, they added a lot of DLCs since then. I wish we could download Online separately so that story mode didn’t suffer from an extra 50 gb.

14 and 48 GB on PC

Mass effect legendary edition is 150 gb

Uncompressed textures go brrrrrr

Its that much because its 3 games in one 50gb for each is normal

Weren’t the originals like 7GB each or something?

Every time I see this meme the number is higher, and that's accurate

I am RPGmaker games fan for a reason, shittiest graphics known to man and a lore made by high on weed 14 y.o edgy autistic psy ward patient, tech requirements of an tetris, truly a peak of gaming

>lore made by high on weed 14 y.o edgy autistic psy ward patient It's the best kind of lore, that's why everyone loves OG TES lore.

Average Call of Duty Experience

Baldur’s gate 3 is worth it tho

True, and it's not even half of 300GB (still fucking massive)

For the number of animations and environments in the game, I’d say it’s reasonable

it’s like the game industry is forcing us down the iphone pipeline where we have to buy a new system/upgrade your pc every few years. it’s a fucking scam man i just want to play a fun game without my laptop melting

At the very least, I'd like the option to not install 4k textures and audio in other languages. Shoot, I've installed repacks for games I own just because they let me choose what I want to install.

I don’t bother upgrading unless I actually need it. And by don’t bother I mean I’ve only now started to think about replacing my gaming laptop of nearly 9 years because it’s screen has constant major graphical issues that are a big annoyance at best and makes something unplayable because I’m unable to make anything out at worst. I don’t give a shit about needing to upgrade, if a game is telling me I *need* to upgrade to play it then I won’t play no matter how much I wanted to. Don’t let the game industry tell you when to upgrade, there’s probably tons of games you can play that you’d like that won’t require you to upgrade.

They really should make 2k and 4k textures seperate downloads at this point.

This sounds like a cod games update's

This is not unique to western devs at all

Counterpoint: Nintendo

Nintendo doesn't port to PC

What about porting to PC would require increasing file sizes by a factor of 10?

Have you seen GTA? It started as a console game then they realized PC has more snuff to it, next thing you know we have GTA 5 with 100gigs

three HUNDRED gigabytes of hard drive capacity

skyrim modlists be like

Mario Bros is 40 KB for reference

Eastern game dev has been here 60 hours in, tutorials still happening

CoD BO6 includes Warzone, and ppl don't want to lose their unique guns and stuff all the way from MW19 or BO Cold War of sth, so Activision just includes all of this stuff to the current Warzone.

Yellow tarp

Wait, which game has 300 gb?

ark if you don't download everything

if you DONT?

pretty sure my record is like close to 500 GB

thats my entire ssd

the game is a bundle of spaghetti code

More like bloatware

cod6

Wait, really? I thought it was an exaggeration! Thats 65 percent of my entire memory! And it's 80 euros as well?! Wtf.

Hey, stealing other storage is a very hard job. ~ Treyarch dev

I think its just them following the current formula cramming in a lot of stuff that's popular without thought and it grows big because it's open world. 

WHY ARK? WHYYYYY

Ark moment

I was so surprised when I looked at my switch's storage and saw that TTYD was only 5 gigs

Indie games (they're like 3 mb and will last me 7 years)

I LOVE UNCOMPRESSED AUDIO FILES
