85 GB of space,are you serious? where the hell is the optimization?

[𝕯𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖑 𝕭𝖆𝖑𝖉𝖊]

I don't understand and I don't see the excuse anywhere to demand 85 GB of free space in a game like this.

[Emrys]

The optimization come gradually. There are games which take up more than 100 GB of space at launch.

Sadly, It is what it is in 2022. I run a 250GB SSD drive for drive C:, Windows 11 only on that drive.
Drive D: is a 1TB drive which I keep clean and defrag for games.
My next system will 2-3TB on D:. Everything else will max out big time, RAM, video, etc.
Might as well for future games.

se4 was the similar size with all the DLC's on it if i remember, and also theirs still season pass stuff to add , and how ever many of them there will be to , so id say the 85 is just a small starting point, it will be alot bigger

[Kashra Fall]

Textures+sounds+big ass map+each character having two three layers to their design, the skeleton, the mesh, the skin. It all adds up. This one is bigger than the previous ones, so it only makes sense that it isn't going to require more space.

No offence but if you think 85g is a lot you best quit gaming. That is pretty average for any title. Hell Genshin Impact a mobile title on PC is 30gig min.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 that graphically looks better than this game demand 20 GB lmao.

And that would tell me that it's 1/4 the game. Not sure why you equate visuals with size, you know actual amount of game could also equal size of game.

The maps in SGWC 2 are very plain and simplistic, no where near as in depth and detailed as this game.

If we are gonna make these comparisons, then I'm talking about Metro Exodus, which is a much more detailed game, a graphic wonder and that demands 59 GB.

Moreso than SGWC2, but not moreso than SE4 and undoubtedly 5.

Exodus was CLEARLY a mediocre console port in every aspect including grafics.

As time goes on, games get larger and larger. Among numerous things, some of it is due to the level of graphics.

I bought the Modern Warfare remake last night, and coupled with the required "Warzone", the download size was over 180Gb.

The MW2 remaster (2021) is 80Gb, the original from 2009 is 12Gb

You are really going to cry about 85 gb in 2022? Jeez...

Nice example the one you do with war zone, you haven't done anything good with that example, one of the games most criticized by the community for its poor optimization, (a purely online game BR) with mediocre textures, there is no way to excuse such mediocrity, a only online game with such mediocre textures that demand for 180 GB and then you have games like open world Red dead redemption 2,which is the graphic top that demand for 150 GB..no way boy.It is incredible how some of you defend and excuse the poor optimization of some developers, what a little criteria you have,take off the blindfold.

Warzone is less than 55Gb, and is not the point.
The rest of that 180+GB was for the MW remake, and the graphics for that game is freakin amazing, which is the point.


Seems you're having trouble understanding, so I'll make it as simple as possible.

Game size get larger as time goes on (as it always has and always will) due to many things, such as graphics.

80+GB for a modern title with modern graphics is the new norm, get used to it.

I have 2 ssd in my pc (1tb and 500 gb)but the difference between you and me is that I have criteria, as I see that you have run out of arguments to continue defending those 85 gb,so you enter the personal insult I do not need to continue talking to you, it is clear that my arguments are clearly more goals than yours ;D.

I literally have pretty much filled ssd and 256 gb HD! And never in my life cried once over games size.

I know, right?

Game size vs. drive size has always been a thing, even back when HDDs and games were measured in Mb, and memory in Kb

dude there are games that take up more than 200-300gb...I ahve a 1TB HDD and free space never was an issue.I just delete games that I already finished long ago and install new ones.

Before you start tossing around too many insults as if they are arguments, it might be worth considering that games made by different developers are going to have different design priorities, features, and methods in which to control the install footprint.

So whenever the size issue comes up, I always think about my current DCS World (a combat flight sim) install. Right now, it is a bit more than three hundred gigs and while many complain about the install size, it is pretty easy to see why it is as big as it is. Shockingly enough, it is mostly due to very, very high resolution textures because the developers need to take all the 4k and even perhaps 8k players into account. Something as routine as a texture file can be MASSIVE even when one might not think so at first glance.

In the case of Metro Exodus, there are a lot of repeated textures and assets throughout the game that help soften the install size blow. It is a gorgeous game but even with the big levels, they were clearly able to save space because each level was very visually consistent and there were lots of opportunities to repeat textures and models.

Like it or not, the new standard for a game is around 100 gigs. Not all games are going to come in that big but we are well past the point where self-righteous indignation about it will get you anything but a bit of a chuckle. Sniper Elite 5's 85 gig install size isn't surprising and it isn't egregious. You thinking it is doesn't really change that for others and others are not wrong for not being as offended as you are about it.
