Insanity

Unless the campaign is simulating the entire industry up from the fuckin 40's then there isn't any reason for this game to rival COD in storage

I mean I can understand how textures add up but 161 gigs for a basketball game seems like a lot of unoptimized stuff going on

"Japanese game dev has been here"

"How can you tell?"

"30fps cap"

"Is Bethesda a Japanese word?"

Image Transcription:

A version of the White Man Has Been Here meme showing a Robert Griffing painting of two Native American trackers examining footprints in the snow. One is standing and the other squatting, both are holding rifles. The squatting tracker is saying "western game dev has been here."

His standing companion asks "How can you tell?"

The first tracker replies, "161 GB for a basketball game".

The footprints in the snow have been replaced by a screen shot of an X/Twitter notification by Saved You A Click Video Games replying to a post by GameSpot reading "NBA 2K24 File Size Revealed, And It's Even Bigger Than Starfield - Report dlvr.it/Svvggh2" accompanied by an image of a basketball player for the Lakers team. The Saved You A Click Video Games' response reads "It's 161GB on Xbox Series X|S."

I remember being floored to see that GTA V on my PS3 was a 8gb disc. Zero optimization for consoles these days.

Is this forreal

I remember when even having a 160gb hard drive was unthinkable.

Americans like BIG

I'd prefer they spend time optimizing CPU, GPU, RAM usage instead of storage size.

Diablo 2 lod installed: 3 gb Diablo 2 resuracted 25 gb

Is 4k images consuming that much more space?

I recently bought the 2021 remaster of a strategy game from 2004 and it was almost 50 GB. Add another 12 GB if for some reason you want the 4k textures on models from 2004. This game used to come on a CD.

MORE!

The uncompressed sizes make for a much faster install. Repackers like FitGirl compress the duck out of the game files to make the download smaller but it takes ages to install the games afterwards.

That's nothing compare from ark

No it's fine, I'll just buy another external hard drive

i want good graphics

NO FILLING THE HARDDRIVE, only good graphics😡😡

Jesus christ what a braindead thread this is. Evil devs just filling your games with bytes just to piss you off right

Y'all wanted 4K Next Gen Gwaphix well that shits gonna cost you some storage space lol

Sucks but whatever. Been happening since the beginning.

Christ you people will bitch about anything. You all just want to be pissed off.
