    That’s more than half the capacity of the base edition of the new consoles.

    Microsoft and Sony need to step in and establish a maximum file size for games. There’s no excuse for a remake of a hallway shooter from 12 years ago to be that large.

    I want you all to realize that elden ring, one of the most detailed, intricate, and eye pleasing games we have, is 60 gb. 60. And on consoles pushes it to 45 gb.

      I would have not thought of Elden Ring with this description. Maybe I played it to early and it got cleaned up a bit?

        It is a very pretty game, but because of art direction, not high quality textures, which is what a lot of the space comes down to

    Ark Survival Evolved over in the corner hoping nobody notices its 700GB+ if you download every map.

    The real conspiracy is that a big game requires you to delete or limit the number of competitors games. Not only is yhere no incentive to be smaller, there is actually a strategic incentive to be bigger.

      Anon is correct that this is fucking bullshit and that you shouldn’t need external storage just to play one (1) game that’s not even that good.
