If I ever install a 300GB game, call my doctor because I'm comatose

Alright! See you in a feel years buddy
There is a point when the game just adds graphics and not content. Current triple A games are going that way, the problem is I just play indie games so I really doubt an indie team has enough time to add that much detail to their game
This is one of the reasons why i also sitck more to indie and old titles instead of AAA, it's at a point that we have games launching all the time but only 2 or maybe 3 every year are actually good
I remember hearing that games being hundreds of gigabytes was a few years away probably close to 2018, i’m still waiting
Honestly, i still can see it becoming a thing in a decade, we already have a good amount of 100GB+ games here and there, and as storage becomes cheaper, the less we will care about a feel hundred gigabytes, i remember when having a 8GB usb stick was more storage than you could dream of
When I was a kid, the first PC game I played was Civilization 1 and it came with 4 floppy discs, so less then 10 MB. Some years later it seemed crazy to me that most games come on a CD-ROM disk and require 650 MB of space. Now I am playing games that ask for 100 GB and it seems fine to me.
It wouldn't surprise me if 10 years from now 300GB would be the norm
If the game takes up half of my entire SSD, it better have so much content and gameplay to make it fucking worth it.
Call of Duty isn't such a game.
I remember reading that this is because studios don't compress game assets any more. I'd gladly trade a few seconds load time for reasonable disk usage.
Animal Well:
Here I am enjoying my little DRG at under 4gb lmao sure I have to move stuff around every time I want to go back to rdr2 or doom eternal or whatever, but DRG has earned its HD space forever IMHO.
I hate what? What's the funi?
