Dark Souls 2 size

[ricanrolla]

Any one knows what the exact GB size DS2 is? Im trying to do the math of how long it will take me to download the game at launch... At 60KBs/SEC... if its more than 12GB, its about 3 days...

[xen_tech]

it says the amount on nthe storpage so it's most likley somewhere between 8 GB-14 GB seeing as how it says you neeed 14 GB

[Ohmz]

Console versions are around 7GB, so I doubt the PC version will reach 14GB. It will probably be around 8-9GB, but couldn't possibly give you exact figure. What country do you live in if you dnt mind me asking?

[ricanrolla]

Hmm hopefully its on the lower end that range... I live in US but Im stationed in Afghanistan. Thats why the internet speed is so crappy.

If they give the option to pre-load it you could already have it installed and not have to wait 3 days past launch.

I think it will be something like 5-6GB. Dark Souls is not even 4GB if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah Im really hoping they open the option to preload so I wont have to wait 3 or 4 days... that would be a big help.

They usually allow us to preload, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe 3 days before the release, I don't know. The last game that I pre ordered other than Dakr Souls 2 was Saints Row IV, I think. It allowed us to preload the game, but I can't remember when exactly.

I would say around 10 - 16 gb no more... If any DLC will come out it might get up to 18-ish...
(I think that this is a standart size for a game today...)

I don't know... that sounds too much. Way too much. The game doesn't have a lot of dialogue and usually audio files take a lot of space, the textures sounds better, but I don't think they will be that huge to make the game that big in size. Just look at Dark Souls 1. I have installed here and it doesn't even have 4GB. I don't see any reason to see Dark Souls 2 going past 5-6GB unless they really added a bunch of stuff compared to their past games.

I just kinda compared it to games that are comming out now and it seemed right that ds2 would be around 10gb but now that I think about it, I think you're right.

Dark Souls 2 is twice as big (in terms of actual space it uses) as the original even on consoles, so on PC it will be even more. It's over 7 GB on consoles, expect at least 8 on PC. Steam might have you download 6-6.5 GB for something like that with the new content system, so also keep that in mind.

My internet is crappy too 120KBs but on steam its 120-900 KBs i don't know why.

Are you sure? If I'm not mistaken, games on the XBOX uses a different disc that have one extra GB to protect against pirates making copies of the games (didn't really work, I guess). All discs are burned till their maximum capacity regardless of the real size of the game (they use junk data or something to fill the whole disc. I don't know).

So maybe the game is acually not that really big. Well, anyway, we will only know for sure when the game gets released. It may actually be bigger than the console versions since we're getting some extra stuff, but my bets are still on 5-6GB.

In that case I'm hating on my connection speed for no reason... I'm downloading at about
4.5 - 5 mbps and It is considared slow compared to other people in my country...
