About 6GB every other day or something, constant downloading.

This has now been updated to 100 GB, to more accurately reflect how large the game has grown over time.

Time to clean up your stuff? i have never seen a game that is 100 GB. Not a battlefield, not World of Warcraft, not any of these big games. How does one rally game use 2x the space that a game like WoW uses?
Clean up your s*** please.... This is ridiculous..

Lets take note at how cheap storage is today. 100GB should not be a big deal. Can you afford $1? That's about how much it would cost for that 100GB on a standard mechanical.

About a penny per gb on a mechanical, an ssd is about 8 cents per gb and if you want something a little better with an m.2 you are talking a whopping 9 cents per gb.

so you are saying that in addition to buying the game, i have to buy bigger ssd on my computer too?

Anyways the point is that there is no way a game that could be in proper coding compressed to about 10-20 gb be 100 GIGABYTES. That is ridiculous.

E: PS. Ok i'm yet to see the full content of the game but 40 gb is absolutely maximum this sort of a game even with TON of content should be, if you compare it to something HUGE like WoW is about 50-60 gb

E2: PS. WoW is really badly coded, every1 knows that and yet it doesnt waste 200 GB space of your computer for god knows what.

.....no. My point is there should be no reason in near 2020 to not have enough storage. if you don't then storage is dirt cheap. If you can afford a computer to play the game and the game itself you certainly can afford the $1 to store it. Storage size is a laughable aspect of computing today.

It's not about coding. Art assets (textures, music and audio in different languages etc) take most of the space. You can code and optimize and deliver assets in a compressed form but that's then CPU cycles wasted on uncompressing data.

This is maybe the 20th game I know that is over 100 gigs. Get used to it ;D

[Pangolin Legends: Arceus]

Yeah there are a few 100 giggers these days. It is big though. I like to keep games installed for ages.

Bought it yesterday and it says 100Gig download/20hrs remaining??
H**y f**k, RDR2 is 100Gig, CoDs have some 100Gig, Far Cry is 90Gig, man this is not a Open World sandbox with 1000square meters... Or am I already downloading all the DLC trash that came out??? Very bad very bad

Completely agree, apparently it downloads all the dlc even if you dont have them, but still there is only some car packs and few country packs so it shouldnt be that big of a deal.

Anyway, what Am I downloading in the base game?? Is there at least one car and track, or I have to buy some DLC to drive?? :-)
