    Blame the people wanting to be able to see every flies asshole. Textures get huge fast.

      That’s such a weird example

        It is. But I don’t think it’s any more weird than photo realistic horse balls that seem to have been all the rage a short while ago.

    Not surprised they’re large, mostly because the asset sizes are dictated by what screen resolution people play (yeah, 1440p fomo) and how big their monitors are (27" or bust), and how often they stream or make screenshots.

  Man, they should offer disc anyway so gen-z can experience the “please insert disc 2 and press continue” while installing.

    It’ll be the Windows 95 14-disk floppy set all over again, but this time with 18 DVDs

      I see you were also traumatized by the floppy release. Lol

      I had pre-ordered the CD release from Babbage’s, and went to pick that up. Being that I was only 15, I had to get a ride, and it was also 45 min each way, so this wasn’t exactly easy for me.

      When I got home, I still hadn’t realized they gave me the wrong one and cracked it open to see the horror. Said screw it, I wasn’t going to be able to go back anytime soon and installed it for the next hour or more.

      Luckily, because this was pre-activation key (we remember those days, right? … right??), when I took it back, they apologized and gave me the right one without much problem.

      Only installed once from 14 floppies, but it still was terrible.

    There are already games with dedicated install discs like that.

  Isn’t a series S as low as 256gb?

  That tells me the game needs to be under that

  Fuck… I’d have to delete at least 5 other games to make room…

    5? In a closet behind me I have a physical disk containing 4 full games, including their scanned manuals, on one CD. That’s right, a CD, not a DVD.

  Fifteen times the size of the smallest PS3.
