My BG3 saves are massive. Not at the PC but very much in the Gigabytes
Comment on New Sony Patent Will Let You Replay A Game From Any Point Possible
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 7 months agoNo game should save gigabytes. Even megabytes can be too much. If the game is very linear a save could mean a single number. Even if it has character cosmetic customization and a convoluted plot with lots of choices it’s still usually in the kilobyte range. The larger saves (overall) would be sports games like rally racing where the game needs to be able to provide a thorough replay of every race.

system state is not the same as a save file. System state is the cpu registers, the process’ entire memory space (because you don’t know what the game might do at any point) gpu context, etc.
