Why it needs 80GB for 360MB patch

[우주해적삐삐]

I have to remove many programs in My PC, for this 360MB patch because it needs about 80GB. It is crazy.

Because they forgot how to patch their games and now Metaphor basically redownloads itself fully and replaces the main files with a downloaded copy.
You have better chances just reinstalling the game.

[CheeseBoar]

The entire game is essentially a single enormous file. When something needs to be patched, an updated version of that single enormous file needs to be downloaded.

who ever is in charge of how updates are delivered should be fired. EVERY update I have to uninstall and reinstall on my steam deck because I "only" have 74 gigs available.

What's crazy is that it's 2024 and you don't have 80GB of free space, it's less than 100 bucks for a 2TB SSD.

What's crazy is that you think I'm going to spend 500 dollars on a 2 TB M.2 drive.

You could buy a whole PC with a 2tb SSD for 500 wtf

I don't understand what you're trying to say here, but I have other games on my M.2 drive and I'm not interested in uninstalling everything just for this thing everytime I update. I just reinstall like anyone sane would after a patch for this game due to the update person not being smart.

Best way is to unistall and reinstall.

Unsure why Steam update like this now.

Because this game is a very embarissing show in terms of PC optimization. It's not unreemably bad but for a company that has managed to deliver upon some fantastic ports recently (P3 Reload/P5 Royal) this is a bad show.
It's always a little telling from a game file size how competent the developers (responsible for a port) were. 85GB is basically a joke - there's probably a LOT of uncompressed stuff. I remember Diablo 3 being something like 80-100GB back on PS4 because Blizzard had never ported any of their games to console.

If it was Steam's fault, we would have way more unoptimized games.
No, it's 100% on ATLUS - even their own games (P3 Reload f.e.) take way less space.

I am sure that dude is talking about the update method, not the disk size.

Wukong which is over 100gb has the same update method.

[ez game ez life]

because companies don't care about the bottom 1%

[SuperBearCat]

modern devs can't into optimization,
this game doesn't need to be 90GB, not even 50 GB.
Ys X is only 7 GB ffs. all these modern devs need to learn from Durante

or maybe it's bloated on purpose so this game would monopolize your PC space, so you don't install/play other games before beating it. I know live service games like to do this.
