This is unacceptable
>>739166542Sounds like a shit game not worth playing.
>>739166542It's got that baked lighting you guys love so much and constantly rave about.
oh no its 9% of my drive space :(
>>739166542devs skimp out on compression and optimization so you shoulder the cost of storage and hardware to run their sloppy shitbig studios deserve to implode and indie devs making sub 10GB games that release sub $60 will continue to flourish
I don't know if you know this, but you can uninstall a game when you're done playing it.
>>739166928Good goycattle
>>739166542>SSD REQUIREDThe fuck?
>>739167365cope, communist
>>739167778That's not as bad as the storage part. SSD is the standard now.
>>739167854I understand it being highly recommended because HDD loading times are ass, but this is the first I'm seeing it outright be required. That's wild.
Guess I'm not poor enough to understand what's wrong with that.
>>739166542>Microsoft published game in May 2026>Recommended: Windows 10But I thought /v/ said they killed it and everyone must update to 11
>>739166928I have more than enough space, the main problem is that I also have like 500 games installed
>>739166850computer, replace the bubble blower with a long and thick banana that's dripping with yogurtreplace diana's pupils with hearts and make her wear ruined mascarareplace her clothes with a golden micro bikini and give her a navel piercingfinally, make her forget how to bite so she can only eat things by licking and sucking on them... then run program
>>739166542If you weren't so young you would know that the ratio between hard drive space, money and the size of games is more in favor of the customer's pocket now than then.
>>739166542Available doesnt mean in use.How many fucking times do you retards need to hear this.Pick any steam game you own. Hit download. The gb it says before download is much higher then what it really downloads
>>739170031Because it's install size vs. download size you fucking retard. It unpacks more files, you don't download every single GB you have installed
>>739170031Yawn what a boring false flag. Guess you really needed some easy targets to pretend having moral highground.
>>739166850>pirate Pragmata>install folder is less than 40gbBased Capcom.
167gb is only like a 30 minute download, if you're still keeping games on your hard drive that you haven't played in over a week then you're a retard
>>739166928>Can only have 11 games installed at once
>>739171593So? You aren't playing 11 games at once, if you actually start that many playthroughs you'll inevitably drop 9 of them
>>739171593Yeah only 11 Forzas.
>>739171593Not him but the only reason I want to keep many games installed at the same time is to argue with other Anons. This way I can post screenshots proving them wrong.
>>739166542>>739166850>>739169709>AAAslop is bigger than FFXIV and all its expansions put together>An oversized MMO with SIXTEEN YEARS worth of asset bloatHow?! Just fucking HOW?!
>>739171894>Can't give firsthand image rebutes for RE slop games anymore because I unintalled themIt's over...
>>739171686>You aren't playing 11 games at onceI absolutly amI am currently playingDead as DiscoCombat masterElvenfoundryEU5Super robot wars 30Imperator: romePragmataDead IslandOlden EraFFXIVFFXIexactly 11, I thought I would make it over but I just barely made it
>>739172252It's a mystero. But that's why we're here at /v/ using our embarrassingly high iq to try to solve it while the rest of the world is pretty much begging for us to help them.
>>739172252Well they have had to work around the limitations of the ps4s storage space, but they said come around 8.3 they expect to run out of space and have to give up on PS4, I could see things exploding from there once they are finally able to cut loose
>>7391730281 mirron dollars, wow
>>739168939/v/ never said that you gullible retard
>>739173028I sure hope average game size grew proportionally to the change here.
>>739166542I have 75 TB in my desktopHow poor are you?
>>739173116Average game size probably dropped down because indies are games too.
I'm currently debating if 100 gigs plus is a safe slop identifier and that you can safely skip all games under it since it's just unoptimized slop.
>>739172992Wait sorry I do have more I forgot androidA simple life with my unobtrusive girl, a game I brought not realizing it was centered around a fetish I hate (incest) but dammit I paid 15 dollars for this shit i'm gonna get my moneys worth, helps that although I can clearly hear the incest related japanese terms in the voice the english text avoids it,The room series, specifically I am up to the room 2
>>739169709I member, Flight Simulator 2004 was huge for my 20gb at the time, and later FS X was so enormous it came in 4 discs and I had to buy a new HDD
>>739173028Is that comparing HDDs?
>>739173184It’s remarkable how games like Sekiro and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are half the size of CoD and other 150+ slop
>>739173182Good point, Forza is even more Jeetcoded than I thought.
>>739173184I don't think game size has anything to do with actual kind of optimization that really matters.UE5 games run like complete shit but are often well under 100GiBOne of the best ways to lower the game size is to use Ray Tracing, so to grant your wish we will from now on only used full Ray Tracing.Have fun.
>>739166542we need a complete boycott of jeet devs and uncompressed audio, textures and other dogshitthe fucking Battlefront 2 demaster takes 60GB
>>739173345Why are you comparing hdd to ssd and how did you even find 100gb ssd or $98 lmao.
>>739173430I know it shouldn't put the unoptimized slop to over 100 gigs colleration is astonishing. Sure there is unoptimized slop under 100 gigs but as you pointed out we have ue5 as another surefire identifier.
>SSD requiredSure, let me just invest $700 on this video gameAACK
False. People accept it, therefore it is acceptable.
>>739173578Games in the past were only limited by the physical medium.Now you don't have this limitation, sure it's bloat but clearly people don't care about this at all.My first PC had 3GiB of total storage, I could install a handful of games even back then in 1998.How many 100Gig+ games were you interested in playing before you knew they were this big?Nealy all those big games are open world garbage, with some exceptions.
>>739166542I bet half of that are high quality audio or 4k textures that 99% of players won't ever use
>>739172992>nigger can't finish a 6 hour game before starting 10 other ones
>>739173969It's mostly textures, shadow and light maps. 4K textures alone aren't as heavy as people tend to believe. On PC you simply have to have multiple fidelity levels, example FF XVI on PC is around 150GiB but on console it's 90. Some devs give you the option to download high-res texture packs as a separate free DLC.Audio is often under couple of Gigs, there is no such thing as fully uncompressed high quality audio in games.Some games also have 4K pre-rendered video cutscenes.
>>739171686>Hey bro, want to hop on [game] bit?>Sure, let me redownload it real quick, should be ready in a couple of hours
>>739174529>MPsloplelmao
>>739173764Get with the fucking times man
>>739166542Just play ABUSE, retard.It's 2.6MB.You keep creating problems for yourself, and then complain.
>>739174529>>739174663But MPslop is smaller in size.
>>739175228https://store.steampowered.com/app/3606480/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops_7/
>>739174663>>739175228Forza is literally a multiplayer game, you retards.
>>739166542I had to get a new SSD over this shit. How do you make a gaming laptop with 512 GB knowing damn well installing one single solitary video game fills that shit up in 2026?
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. Have you fucking SEEN how much PC's cost and here comes along some fucking game that wants basically my entire drive? This is is unacceptable bloat. No, I don't need 320kbps audio files, 96kbps is more than enough and above that isn't human perceptible anyway. I don't want 4k videos as 4k is a retarded meme resolution that - once again - just bloats filesizes. The list goes on of assets that devs just go "lmao no compression get fucked".
>>739167887cyberpunk was the first game I saw require it. It was on release. There have been games since that required it
>>739170323enjoy killing your ssd
>>739167887>>739176167No game truly requires it. It's just there so people won't be bitching when it runs like shit on their 20 year old HDD.
>>739176236>we can't be bothered to optimise for the most common storage solution in use by gamers so lmao just consoom an expensive ssd or else get fucked>t. CDPR
>>739167887some newer games that handle loading in the background while playing will chug like hell on a HDD
>>739166997more like sub 100MiB games
>>739167778you're going to need one to crawl through 167GiB of poorly optimized data
>>739176369They can't even be bothered to optimize to 240p. The most common resolution for gamers. Unbelievable!
>>739176231If you download a single 150GB game a week it will take at least 4000 weeks to kill a 600TBW SSD. I doubt I will live for that long.The horror!
>>739177016Exactly and why /v/ sucks them off I have no idea.
>>739177746Hating = sucking off?
>>739178842>muh witcher
>>739173045It's still on the shitter Xbox model isn't itAnd the Switch 2 soonAll that changed when PS3 support dropped was higher draw distance out in open zones
>>739166850capcom is literally the SINGULAR AAA dev that actually tries to optimize disk space
>>739173578Compressing assets adds more CPU overhead to decompress them on the flyLike yeah its probably a negligible difference in performance, maybe noticably worse load times in some cases though
>>739166542what game?
>>739179116What? /v/ hates new AAA games. Sucking off is used when you bootlick someone.
>>739179334>new AAA gamesW3 was 10 years ago
>>739179330My Skyrim folder
>>739179443Did Witcher 3 require SSD? Did you mistake this for another thread?
>>739172992>Imperator: romewhy
>>739173158256gb ssd + 1tb hdd
>>739179536Because I will eat up any old shit Paradox releases. I started with EU4 so I have no taste
>>739166542>forced to install uncompressed audio for every language in Earth>8k textures for tiny detail objects like bullet casings and doorknobs>textures and meshes for hundreds of paywalled cosmetics that you have to store on your hard drive so you can watch other goycattle run around wearing them in multiplayerI fucking hate modern gaming.
>>739179562I remember is was a true shitshow at release, even for Paradox standards. People laughed and that's all I know. Did it get actual support?
>>739166542
>>739179536I mostly just wanted to check it out, I'm not very impressed with the UI coming from EU4 and 5, but I've started this so I may as well continue long enough to conquer italyalso as I understand it it was a much worse game at release than it is now
This is impossible to recreate with modern games
>>739179706I would download more ram though.
>>739179926Already debunked here >>739169709Half Life 2 was like 5gb alrdy and then they started releasing the episodes too making it almost triple.
>nooo you need to make everything fit on a dual layer DVD like games 20 years ago because I'm retarded and poor and don't have any storage btw you're a jew or a goy if you don't shit your diapers over trivial amounts of storage being usedSame shitty thread reposted over and over again.
>>739179926Now do it with win xp hardware instead of vista era stuff.
>>739179686No they quite literally abandoned it, no joke
>>739169709Yes, if you weren't so young you wouldn't need google AI to look up average sizes. Who even uses WoW as a benchmark for the average game size in the late 90s/early 2000s? CDs were enough for most games.
>>739173461>NOOOO EVERY TEXTURE MUST BE A CRUNCHY 512X512 JPEG AND EVERY SOUND MUST BE A 48KBS OGG BECAUSE MOMMY WON'T BUY ME A HARD DRIVEGet a job.
>>739171686>>739173992>>739172992
>>739182614It would still install. Half Life 2 was the size of Wow too. Or are we going back to 90s now? That doesn't matter because the further we go back the smaller the storage becomes in comparison to the media.
>>739182851ScrubThis is my list filtered by installed
>>739166542That's 17€ worth of space for a single game, let that sink in.
>why would we optimize our games when the goycattle will just buy an ssd with 4tb space and the latest AI gpus for $2000
>>739182951im strictly on SSDs
>>739183363Nobody is forced to buy things they don't like or support.
>>739183851Same
>>739166542Remember when the Helldivers devs got their install size down from 100 gigs to 25 or whatever? At this point size bloat is a purposeful anticompetitive practice by devs to prevent consumers from installing competing products. Drag em all through the street naked by the balls.
>>739168590You can't buy braincells.
>>739169260e=mc2 saar
>>739184982They did it to help consoles and HDDs because that way there is less seeking.
>>739170213>a game noted for looking especially bad without raytracingHmmmm
>>739166542What's wrong with that?
>>739169260
>>739173376Sekiro is like 25 GB, it's 5-6 times smaller than a CoD or Asscreed game
>>739182668Good goycattle
>>739185426No it fucking doesn't.That's E = mc^2 you fucking idiot
>>739166542You know, honestly, I once made the argument that this shit didn't really matter because storage was affordable even at larger sizes, but now that's not true anymore, so yeah it is kind of unacceptable. Developers need to compress their fucking games.
>>739184458nice. im only on 2.5 tb. for my next build i will get a 4tb nvme and chuck some old sata ssds for 2 tb more
>>739180253Devs really need to look at pirated repacks for inspiration. You can just make other audio languages an option to download in current year.
