The revelation will be the fucking price of SSDs these days.

Kinda makes you wonder how Elden Ring is like 50GB.

crazy that after nioh 1 was 80GB, nioh 2 was _only_ 85GB

It's simply impossible to avoid it especially if your game has open larger areas as you need lots of LOD models and textures which adds up.

i prefer to use "AAA game dev"

i remember memes being made about force unleashed being 30GB. which even to this day, that seriously should be the cutoff. no reason a game should be going to triple digits AT ALL. with emulation it puts it all into perspective too. i could have the 100+ amazing classic games OR 1 mid modern game 💀

I think stalker 2 rn is 190ish gb.

"13 Sentinels is 4.4 GB" is something I said back in 2020 when game sizes were ballooning. Whatever game I was comparing it to is now also small.

The culprit is the unwillingness to introduce selective downloads to reduce size, pretty sure most people only want one voiced language and also a very big chunk of users dont care about the massive 4k textures. But I do agree with you, fuck this meme.

publishers could very easily just offer the 4k assets, as well as cutscenes and sound files for other languages (another hefty source of bloat in some games) as free DLCs to solve this issue and still give the 4k sickos the experience they want

wow dude, that's more than the entirety of tf2 and this game has been getting new content for almost 20 years

iirc it’s not dropping on PC for a while

Yep, not getting that. I barely get any games over 60 GB. Thats WAY too much.

I long to see the first 1TB game coming out during my lifetime

They should sell it in an external drive or something

Mario Kart World is Nintendo's biggest game currently, at a whole 23.4GB.
