File size ridiculous
Crazy install size of this game compared to others [ 52,572 MB !] Is that some lazy programming or a p1ss take?

Do you want LESS game? What is wrong with people who make complaints like this?

Nothing wrong with me, thanks. Not everyone has unlimited HD space making it necessary to uninstall 3 or 4 games to install just this one. Okay now?

Considering the game's size, and the default 1080p textures, that's entirely reasonable. AAA Games have been hovering around 30gb-80gb file sizes for like 4 years now, this is nothing new or outlandish.

Nothing new? Oh really?

Just Cause 2 = 4926 MB.

Far Cry Primal = 17,374 MB. A fairly recent game and w-a-a-y short of 52,572 MB.

I'm saying JC3 did not need to be that massive given a range of programming and display options that could be implemented to virtually halve the size. Yes, and I have done programming before anyone asks, professional music for games too.

Yeah, and that reflects in both Primal and Just Cause 2. The textures in JC2 were awful, assets were repeated throughout the entire landscape and would become noticeable within the first half hour of play, and although it was massive, it was effectively just more of the same over a massive landmass. Primal was not a very big game at all, did not have many unique assets, and was relatively short. The same cannot be said for JC3.

GTA V install is 70.5 GB.
Shadow of Mordor is 55 GB
Witcher 3 is 51.13 GB
Ark Survival was over 70 GB when I finally uninstalled it.
Mass Effect Andromeda 46.8 GB

Those are the big ones on my hard drives. A lot of 20-25 GB games too numerous to list. I think it's fair to say JC3 install size while huge is comparable to the above games.

This. Hell, GTA V actually expands to over 80gb after all the patches. Rising Storm 2 only comes with 5 maps, and it's over 30gb. I don't understand why people are still freaking out about file sizes haha.

Don't forget Wolfenstein: New Order being 44 GB. Game doesn't even look that good and has small maps, at least Just Cause 3's massive map explains the size.

On that note

Wolfenstein: The New Order -- 44GB
Batman: Arkham Knight -- 38GB
Dishonored 2 -- 60GB
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided -- 57GB
GTA V -- 72GB
DOOM -- 55GB
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 -- 50GB
Quantum Break -- 68GB
Dying Light -- 40GB
Sniper Elite 4 (with DLC) -- 67GB

Sorry for repeats, people have posted since I started writing it. Battlefield and COD games are mostly high up there too, but I don't own any

Games are getting bigger all the time with new graphics and huge worlds etc.

Maybe they should keep them small just for you because you can't upgrade to a larger hard drive?

It's 2017. People nowadays should know it better. Come back when your hardware fits the current year.
