HOLY MOTHER OF GOD - 34GB download!!!

[himmatsj]

God I went and pre-ordered this after the good reviews...and I just can't pass a LOTR game.

But damn I had a shock...the game is downloading as we speak and it is 33.9GB! That is unfair. My data is definitely gonna get throttled.

I mean, I don't even recall a game that is over 20GB I have. Thief is arguably the largest game I downloaded.

Why is it 33GB? Even Watch Dogs is half the download size.

Makes me one sad and remorseful person before the game is even out.

220 kb/s here, thanks for the preloading !
But a few kms away, people of the town could have SoM in less than 20 minutes. Good thing in France however, is that there is no limitations.

faking 60 KBPS here, bros

30+GB isn't normal by PC standards and PC had next gen games before the next gen consoles even excisted. There are massive PC games with HD graphics that take up only 1 third of what mordor does currently.

Titan is a poor PC port with no file compression and not a example of the norm.

Witcher 2, Arma 3, Planetside 2, Skyrim+HD pack, Borerlands 2 + all DLC etc all take up a third or less of the space.

High GB size 30+ is the direct result of a uncompressed PC port. Nothing to do with next gen.

I have unlimited download and I get 58 mbps (which is 7 Mbps) but steam has never lets me download faster than 4.5 Mbps (or 32 mbps) anyway. I can only suggest buying it on disk and installing it. I can sympathise with slow Broadband and download limit people because only 4 miles from my house people can only get 1.5mbps :(

[athelasloraiel]

hmm, I though everyone had flat rate with speeds up over 6Mb/s? Croatia....

[Slut Dragon]

I have 16 mbps download speed but have a 75 gb cap monthly.Because of that buying this game and downloading is out of question for me.

34GB? That's pretty average these days.

I feel for people without unlimited high-speed Internet, but here is what I’m thinking: the price of SSD’s needs to come down fast. :-)

I figured that I was fine with two 250GB SSD’s for HD movies (I like to own the classics), music and games, but with Wolfenstein, Bioshock Infinite and Shadow of Mordor I have moved my iTunes library to another PC and I’ve had to uninstall some games.

You have ACIV it was a 22 GB download and this game is newer, you can expect the games coming out after this one, AAA games anyway, to be this size or larger.
