I have literally never played on HDD.
It was either SSD or nothing for me.
But now I'm too poor to upgrade and my friend wants to play an 80gb game (horrendous optimization) with me which I don't have space for.
It's an fps game so... fps matters.
I know loading times would increase but I'd be fine with that. How big would the impact be on general gameplay however? Stutters? Lag?
I don't want to waste four hours downloading it just to not even be able to play it.
Thanks.

just... delet one of your least played games?
why are you autists so retarded?
>>
>>736454352
It depends on the game. I play all my games on HDD and they run well, but some games aren't so well optimized. Baldur's Gate 3 couldn't run well for a few years (but now it runs perfectly on HDD too).

I have exactly two games on my tiny ssd and I play both of them every day, I don't really want to get rid of either.

It's hunt showdown.
Multiplayer fps extraction shooter.

Likely actually unplayable..I started using ssd over 20 years ago anon. HDD are not viable for gaming. Additionally, what you're trying to do is hallmark behavior of people who never escape poverty

>>736454352
SSD is less than 100 bucks

What's HDD and SSD?
>>
>>736455424
No, you're a console video gamer :) hahah wait actually those are horrible deals now

Anon hunt showdown sucks and it's a game you spend money on while playing. That type of game. Just play a good game instead. I recommend Kotama and Academy Citadel

>>736454352
depends, games even big ones used to be optimized for HDD and worked fine, now 4GB shit indie games made in Unity Engine loads billion small files and take ages
>>

Literally everything runs on HDD from Ghost of Tsushima to Metal Gear Delta. If it doesn't run on HDD it's probably bad.

>>736455635
it works but sometimes load times are abysmal

It's unnoticeable for anything but loading intensive and modern open-world games which were made with the expectation of SSD use.

>loads x9 faster
>less hitches and pop-up

I have never touched a console in my life
I have about 500 hours on hunt I know what type of game it is I just never played it on hdd
You don't need to spend money though...
