You've been away from gaming for a while haven't you

Gaming companies are fighting to become your "go-to game" and are elbowing each other out of your gaming radar with tricks like this (80 gigs of this install are the game's audio files and cutscenes translated into 20 languages). Sometimes they add a grind just to keep you from playing another game or (more recently) raise the price so you can only buy one game instead of two

I think unique textures for all the teams is what drives up sportsball stuff. A lot of games like Skyrim and the like have you seeing the same people over and over. With sportsball, you have to put that specific person's likeness on a player.

It shows glaring incompetence and misplaced priorities. Most of the time it is directly done out of malice. Increased size has no corelation with increased quality or gameplay, it's almost always the opposite.
Bonus points for SquareEnix managing to release PC version of FFXII that is massively larger and still looks worse than emulating the ps2 version.
>>
>>719304508
Devs 100% do this on purpose btw. HD2 is 130GBs on PC but 30GBs on PS5. Turns out the PC version has nearly 100GBs worth of duplicate assets, the most likely reason is to make it run better on HDDs. Fucking retarded

If you had ever played vanilla Skyrim, you'd know already bethesda tossed you the bread

i probably wouldn't cheap out on memory and storage space, but i also wouldn't install games that are over 100 gigs. thats retarded. you're severely limiting your ability to download music, movies and/or shows

Why? Because your 500GB 5400rpm HDD doesn't have room for it?

Storage is cheaper than ever. I have a shit job in in a shit country and I still earn enough to buy a 2TB SSD after a week of work.

If 120gb games are too big for you then you're either turbo-poor, or you're still a penniless NEET living with your parents but too embarrassed to ask them for PC part money.

Games today do not have improved quality or content to justify such a dramatic increase in size, they did in the past. 150GB games look no better than 50GB games, Starfield looks like shit.

>>719304508
Developers simply do not even consider compressing their games. You can do it yourself with a little effort and without any downsides
That's why some great-looking games are still under 60 gb
>>
>>719309740
Compression would make performance worse. Compression is done on the repo, and it's decompressed as you download. If you had to decompress assets while playing, that's performance out the window. For people so obsessed with optimization, you should know that.
>>
>>719309561
Wrong again dickcheese. Having game sizes bloated to hell for no reason other than lazy as fuck devs is the only reason people even need to buy larger/more storage. You are quite literally defending corpo greed, stupidity and laziness and your best retort is "you're poor lol". Maybe when your IQ hits double digits you can try again.

Because I already have storage and SSDs offer marginal to no benefit in most cases at a premium pricetag. 1TB hasn't been a decent size in years, it's like going back in time to 2015.
>only poorfags that have 500gb storage and cant spare an extra 60 bucks would ever complain bout running out of space
I would never want to waste space on something that is not worth it. I could use that space for tons of other shit and I have stacks of hard drives.

What kind of speed benefit are you even getting at that point vs a Sata HDD?

Not that much to be honest but if space is an issue its better than nothing
>>
>>719312613
push all the non essential crap onto the external drives
shit like videos, images, and low spec games that can be run from external drives without caring much bout read speeds like high spec games
that way you can make space onto your main drives to play vidya
the other option is hiring someone to install the drive for you but that is pretty much asking to lose all yopur privacy as the mfs always peek into your drive and copy whatever they like without permission
or worse, they find loli or whatever shit they don't like, if you have any, and report you to the authorities

I promise you're overthinking this. Installing drives (both 2.5" SATA and M.2 NVME) is easy as fuck. If you can use a screwdriver, you can add a drive. It'll take maybe 20 mins and that's accounting for being slow and hesitant the first time you do it.

>>719308259
>You need a specialized screwdriver
What counts as "specialized" to you? It's just a small philips or crosshead screw. Buy any $10 screwdriver kit and you can remove any screw in any normal computer. If it's a Mac then you might need a $15 kit.

>>719308259
>that can strip and ruin your $1000 drive and motherboard in one go
How the fuck does a stripped screw mean dead hardware? At worst it's an inconvenience. Google "remove stripped precision screw" for lots of ideas if you can't think of anything.

Aight, I get that you're probably not looking for a real answer, but I'll give you one anyway.

The issue is that this is indicative of trash code, pure and simple. Software that big is bloated with inefficient code, and it demonstrates quite clearly that the people making the game were very inept at actually coding it. That's the best case scenario. Good chance it shows that the devs didn't actually have time to make the game properly, and so this rushed half-ass wankery with tons of wasted, inefficient code is an indication of how rushed and half-assed the whole damn project was.

Mediocre is the best you'll get with code this wasteful.

>>719304773
>What is the issue?
The issue is soon games will be 400 gb, and then 700 gb, and before you know it we'll see 1 tb games. Just keep buying moar drives, right? Devs don't need to be competent about optimization when people can just buy more and more and more drives.
Retard.

God I wish

>Devs don't need to be competent about optimization when people can just buy more and more and more drives
this but unironically
same goes for GPU, CPU and RAM
simply don't be poor and you'll be fine

>>719308131
>I also fuck.
Same here. I was so disappointed when I realized how easy it is and how much unfun pain in the ass bullshit you have to put up with to do it. Women are all the same. Let's leave these irrelevant details out of conversations about video games please.

Generally, a big install size means that the game has a lot of detailed assets and that the devs have decided that leaving them uncompressed or lightly compressed is better than compressing them when it comes to performance/load times/world streaming.
It doesn't have much to do with "bloated/wasted code". The code itself takes up a few MB.

whats that mean

>>719307668
If devs didn’t do that you would have a lot of poorfags complaining it doesn’t run well on there hard drive

SATA slots are much more limited than usb. I have dock station that can host 3 standard hdds/ssds and also acts as usb adapter for 4 more externals, its fucking amazing.
>>
>>719314335
Most of that space is ultrahd textures and assets of horse asses, that should be a separate fucking download, together with uncompressed voiceovers and cutscenes for twenty shitty languages that nobody speaks, which also should be a separate fucking download.

Reminder that Blake Stone fits on a single floppy and looks better than modern games.

UE5's fault.

>>719316121
Be careful what you wish for. A game that's split up into a dozen texture packs and language packs is a game that's harder to pirate and harder to preserve.

Any pirate worth their shit knows english on basic enough level to play through any game he wants regardless of where he is from and what native language he speaks.

>>719304773
the rate at which game storage requirements have grown has not followed the rate of storage solution availability.
10 years ago 1tb or 2tb SSD's were common, the same is still true today. if you want 4tb or more, you pay more (it does not equate to 2x the cost of 2tb as one would expect, this is especially true for 8tb vs 4tb).
10 years ago, the most you'd expect a game to require was around 40gb. today, it is now over 100gb, sometimes as high as 150gb.
things would be reasonable if 8tb SSD's were the norm today at affordable prices, but that is simply not the case. the cheapest option you have for 8tb is $750, which is more than double what you'd pay for 4tb ($~250).

tranny mad that it cant trick people into mods

This is why I'm just not buying games with big install sizes anymore. It's going to get downright schizophrenic how bloated they are

Only reason I even have this much storage is because I archive some stuff. Otherwise I'd easily make do with my two 1TB SSDs and the 5.5TB HDD
>>
>>719316283
We shouldn't want games to be better because it makes it harder to pirate? Fuck off
>>
>Performance scales with better h-ACK!
This isn't even true.
If performance is poor on low end hardware then it usually will perform comparatively worse on even the latest and greatest. Those will run the game "fine" but will not hit the performance you'd actually expect out of it.
Nobody bought a 5090 just to barely be able to hit 60fps on MGS3.

>playing any game over 10gb
okay, save your money and storage space then. its a win-win, what's the issue?
>>
The thing I dislike about "just getting another SSD" is that it usually results in hoarding a shitton of useless files.
Making backups becomes a pain in the ass the more shit you have.
>>
>>719319542
So basically you don't play anything made after 2005

Only if your file hierarchy is a mess. Organise that shit and it's easy. Storing your porn in C:\Things\Other\Private\DONTLOOK\Other\Misc\CP\Other under filenames like jsdhfk-i-suck-dicks is bad file management.

I have more storage and it's all filled almost.
I only have one nvme slot left.
But really I should just finish all these games I have installed
>>
>>719322213
problem isn't hierarchy, it's lack of being forced to curate stuff
>>
>>719322609
Curation takes seconds during file acquisition, though.
>>
>>719304508
I'm not a thirdie with slow or capped internet, and I have 6tb of nvme's and 16gb of HDD in my pc so I simply don't care about this. infact I want every game to be 300gb to keep more thirdoids out.
>>
>>719322749
naaaah Imma just dump all these random memes cluttering my desktop in a folder with todays date and sort it out later / never

If you play live service slop, it will only keep bloating.
I also think my Windows install has grown significantly over 7 years.
