"55 GB of storage space" is a wrong information

[Kwoky]

I recently installed DOOM. System requirements here on Steam say that it needs 55 GB of storage space. That is wrong because the game folder takes 77 GB of storage (76,7 to be precise)! Can you please change it on the store page?

I doubt they visit this forum, also I doubt they care.

Known old BUG , cosmetic one, low priority ;·))

Cosmetic? I call it false advertising.

This is indeed an issue for SSD users, and not just a costmetic one. I thought I had cleared enough space to install the game, purchased it, and then discovered I had to clear MORE space. How happy would you be if the min. system requirements claimed a video card that you already had but in reality required a much more powerful one? Not costmetic, not minor, not low priority.

This game is fat indeed. But... you just don't use SSD for big games - go buy 2-6Tb HDD. It's cheaper and will last longer. I have a few fighting games, Pillars of Eternity GOG, Civ 5 and a few others installed - it's more than 130Gb already, add 76 gigs here. SSDs are too expensive to use as storage for games or music/video. It's better to use it strictly for OS and keep games on HDD.
Some may say "SSD goez fasta!" Not for every game, only for those who use millions of files (really bad practice - use container files, Luke!). DOOM 2016 loads from ramdisk (yes i have enough RAM on my desktop) just a little bit faster than from 5400rpm laptop HDD.

Unless you have a 1TB SSD where you install a lot of games on it... just install the game on a normal 7200RPM HDD.

The difference between the loading time is ridiculous. Like 5-10 seconds.

Just install that on a HDD.

For me the game loads in 30 seconds and a map in 15 on a HDD.

I think the game was originally 55GB but it has been bloated by snapmap additions and multiplayer dlc files, and Bethesda / id haven't bothered to update the info.

this dont mean anything,
In some games the DLC u can buy, is still in a patch/download and u downloaded it automatically, u just need a file to unlock it.

i think this is the problem here.

Like r3flect said the game downloads all dlc doesn't matter if you own it or don't.

I have noticed the game has gotten 10+GB patches almost monthly, those patches have the dlc files is the only way to explain why the updates are so huge.

why the FFFF does this game weighs so much? 65 gb? it's more than 10 times the size of last gen games.
is it 10x better, longer, prettier? certainly not. it should be 20 gb max. I have spent 2 days dling this damn game and it's still not done. ffs!

meanwhile, pirate repacks are 15 gb less WITH ALL DLC INCLUDED. I don't even care for the price, but it rly makes u think...................

Look at every game ID Software has released since and including Rage, since they all use megatextures. That is they they are so big. It has some benefits, but I am not sure it excuses the game being so big. Its 50% bigger than most other big games.

Fallout 4: 26gb, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: 52gb, Shadow Warrior 2: 13gb. I do not know why Mankind Divided is even that big though, but as far as I know its because its even bigger than the previous Deus Ex games, so obviously there will be lots of cut-scenes and voice acting, along with very big maps. Mankind Divided if it was using megatextures? Probably 100gb+

All I want is the real size of the game in the requirements. It is big, yes. I think we can live with that. But write it in the requirements!
