Why does the game weigh 150GB?

[Mutant Cowboy Turtle]

I seriously dont understand that, maybe I am missing something

Like, by comparison, Cyberpunk weighs less and has a lot more stuff in it, same with RDR2

[Coolverine]

This game has no loading screens other than the beginning and if you die. Could have something to do with it.

I dunno, I'm not a game dev. hard drive space is cheap nowadays, are you actually running out of space due to a 150GB game?

It's a big game.
and high fidelity textures could be contributing to the bloat.

As far as I know neither does Cyberpunk or RDR2

Cyberpunk 2077 definitely has loading screens, but few and far between compared to Bethsoft games. RDR2 not sure.

Look at the high detail of every square inch of the map no matter where you go. There is your answer.
Every spec you look at, is highly detailed.

Shouldn't even be an issue. There are more popular games around the same size or even bigger, yet no one complains about them.

Stalker 2 has a lot of photoscanned models and high res textures. Although cyberpunk has a lot of stuff, urban setting has a lot of repeated objects, which allows to reuse more stuff and save the game from bloat.

The game is massive.

CP most certainly lacks high quality textures, it's kind of pulling the entire path tracer down.

For comparison Space Marine 2's 4K texture pack DLC is 90GB on its own, installed on top of 60-70GB base game.

I wouldnt say it lacks high res textures, but sometimes it shows it has aged a bit. Still looks great to me.

Oh yeah textures weigh a ton no?
