150 GB feels big, but I'm not upset

[TofuStranger]

This game is pretty huge at 150 GB but I'm not sure if that's because of textures or more the size of the map? Does anyone know? Either way I'm not upset and would rather it was too big than too small and have compressed textures or a small map or something. But I am curious why it's so big

Literally just deleting whatever big games I already had installed to make room. It's going to be a bit of a tight fit on my SSD...

I'm wondering how much of it is audio.

[Chaos]

Probably tons of unoptimized and uncompress files just like every game these days.

I saw somewhere that the map is the same size as Pubg but Pubg is like 40GB.
That's like 3-4 times the details or some real ♥♥♥♥ optimization here.

The map size doesn't correlate to the file size. There are games with maps way bigger than both these games that are like 10gb.
Not to mention PUBG doesn't have any quests, AI, scripts, etc. It's rng based loot on a mostly empty map designed for pvp.

Better to download 150gb of Stalker, vs 150gb of CoD

See what the real size ends up being.

[Andonbr]

It's 10 times the size of the OG trilogy combined!

(I'm not going to be the one to ask GSC Game World for LESS game though. I'll take the full 150GB, thanks.)

It could be a couple of things like bad optimisation or they are packing in unnecessary files.
Like you dont need the textures for playing at 4k if you dont use that resolution.

DOOM 2016 you could cut down the install size by like 8gb by deleting the audio for other languages.

A couple of years ago a game called King Arthur: Knight's Tale came out and it took 120gb. It became a massive barrier to people. So the devs compressed files and it reduced the install down to like 50gb

Wait for the Ultra HD Textures DLC pack. Those juicy big textures can take all the space.

I know, it's just that I find it absurd that my 1 TB SSD is now barely enough these days so I'm a "little" bitter these days.

PUBG maybe not have any quests or AI, but it does have a ♥♥♥♥ load of skins.
And pure texture those things are, and texture usually take the lion share in most game file size then audio file.

So I really do wonder whether it is truely a 150GB of pure concentrated goodies or just dev being lazy.

[TooHigh2Die]

thats standard for most games these days, you just wake up from 2004 or something?

the game will have a lot of unique objects photoscanned directly in chornobyl exclusion zone, so it is worth the size

Yeah fair point, pretty ♥♥♥♥ textures.

Eh nowhere near as bloated as Ark survival evolved, and I've installed that harddrive hog like seven times.
