86 GB download...

Man, this beats World of Warcraft, an MMO with a vast world. Hopefully it isn´t 95% cut scenes.
I remember original Skyrim got about 7 GB Download. Is there even some data compression used nowadays? :)

Ah bra, you're behind the times, many new games are well over a 100gb in size these days...

This game doesn't really benefit from an SSD so you can keep it on an HDD no problem and HDD's are dirt cheap these days, even SSD's are affordable now.

Yeah, sorry. I seem to come straight from the digital stone age. At least it downloads faster than expected.

I feel you bro, first time I bought a game and saw it was over 100gb in size I was flabbergasted. It actually used to be a reason I wouldn't buy games haha

Well, it IS a reason for me to avoid those games normally, since my HDD is almost full, plus I am often impatient and lazy. I aborted DLs of Lost Ark etc because of it. Anno got lucky, because I am looking a bit for a game to replace Civ 6 Zombie mode with. :)

No big cutscene, most of the animations are just zooms on your islands, don't worry. Most of the Gb are purely for the game (maybe perhaps a big part for voices)
