Why is this 30GB.
Seriosuly, what is this ♥♥♥♥, a 30GB download. The game is on Xbox 360 and DVD discs are only ~9GB and that's IF they're dual layer. Plus if my sources are correct, developers can only use a maximum of ~7.5GB on the DVD's as the rest is reserved.

Either they use like 4 disc's on console, this is a crap port, or there better be substantially more content on the PC version, and I mean SUBSTANTIAL.

Well I don't like that it must reserve ~30GB of my Hard Drive space. I'v played MMO's with less space.

Well it reserves that space for install, and then it's yours again, so I'm sure you can chill out and find a few extra gigs of space if you're that pressed for it. And yeah, there is substantially more content on PC - it has every DLC and update, while the Xbox 360's still stuck with a beta version of the game.

Well let me rephrase, why is this game 30GB big. And evidentally, that's actually 20GB less than it used to be.

The game is 13 Gb and on the xbox it is 30 same with the PS3 so don't try that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because I own it for all 3 consoles and besides the update on PS3 and Xbox is 14 GB :/

How is it that big on Xbox 360? Is it multiple disc? Did you download it on 360? DVD discs can't hold that much

PS3 makes sense, cause they have BlueRay discs

Did you not listen? It's called an Update and every game updates. You should know this.

Edit: For the PS3 it was a 14gb update and for the xbox it was a 2gb. Just checked.

it's not 30gb big. it only needs that much space for the installation, after that it only takes about a third of that on your hdd.

No I wasn't listening, I was reading. I sometimes tend to skim over information. But okay that explains it. Although I still think this game is absurdly large for it's content. Whatever means of developing the game they did, it probably wasnt best in these terms. Like I'v said before, I have played MMO's much smaller, and I doubt this game has as much content or more.

This game uses a new method of file storing and they posted a recent note on how the game is now 20gb smaller, you should check it out as the steam store isn't always up to date.

6.7gig download, 14 gig of actual space. Steam just says its more for some reason, there is a thread about it from the devs on the main forum.

No one reads anything anymore..

By the way, say hello to my 85 GB Skyrim folder.

30GB used to be the old storage. If you look at the news, you can see that there is a current glitch in Valve's system in that it displays the old storage used.
