Roughly 3.08 GB, according to the local properties display.

3.09 GB is the exact amount it takes up on my drive.

Because a vast majority of a game's file size is usually textures and models. Lines of code that constitute the features are barely a few kilobytes each.

Cuz maps are rng?

To give some perspective, I've got a school project I can dig into the files of to give you the exact sizes.

The total file size of every piece of code in the entire game; just about 31KB. The file size of the placeholder model for our character that looks like a child tried to draw a decapitated animator's doll? 336KB (And that's literally just arms and legs for the first person model). It's all in the models.

Because low poly graphics don't take that much space.

Wait until you see how much space Valheim takes up lol. The models and textures are also not the most complex, so they naturally take up little space as well.

Btw, can't wait for that +200GB call of duty game coming out.

How tf are people tolerating this?

weird flex but he's talking about the stupide amount of space cod takes up on a storage device. COD would literally take about 1/5th of my ssd

Yeah, idk how having fast internet magically gives people more harddrive space. I'm not the type of guy that buys AAA very frequently, but I feel really bad for people that do.

Textures usually take up the largest amount of storage space by far. DRG has very low resolution and very few textures only due to the way the models are made since all the detail is in the models.

A game like CoD on the other hand has very high resolution textures and of course tons of cosmetics and that takes up a huge amount of hd space.

EDIT: And the answer you highlighted is not quite correct. Model file sizes are negligible compared to textures. Modern games often have 4096x4096 textures plus all kind of fancy stuff like normal maps for important items you see up close, that takes up a really huge amount of space, easily double-digit megabytes per texture. Models usually only have a few hundred kb up to maybe a few mb for very detailed models. Plus in a game like CoD a weapon only has a single model, but each weapon has a ton of different textures.

I am just here to blow your mind.

I have some GZDoom engine games that take up less than 1GB space. Build engine and KEX engine games also take up hardly any space, a few GBs tops.
