Nevermind. I just found out RDR 2 requires 150 gigabytes of hard drive space. Nope. That's ridiculous. Wow, 150 GB is monstrous even by today's standards for PC games. And even I remember when 10MB was outrageous. I'm most looking forward to the mods that people come out with.

Thats how it goes, more and more space as games get bigger with better textures, higher resolution etc. Kind of like the old days of Crysis, Far Cry and World in Conflict. LOL It will be interesting to see if 150 is just for the install process or actual drive space for the game. At least it’s a huge, open world game, not just some fps. Fine with me if games like this and the future Elder Scrolls need it, BUT, it better be worth it. They do have some added pressure to justify the real estate. Needs a lot of memory too. I hope mods are possible too, that could be huge for this.

That won't stop me, have plenty of space and just means I'll need to find something else to do while it's downloading. This is why we buy hard drives with capacity measured in terabytes And even I remember when 10MB was outrageous. Haha too true.
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

If the game world is like GTA5, then that install size will reflect tons of unique items, like buildings etc which are used in one area only and not instanced all over the map. Most games will instance buildings, but I think GTA5 has very few instanced buildings.

That's ridiculous. Wow, 150 GB is monstrous even by today's standards for PC games. i remember when the demo for tomb raider 3 was 40 mb and it took me 4 hours to download only for the file to be corrupt, saddest sunday morning of my childhood

Most games will instance buildings, but I think GTA5 has very few instanced buildings. GTA V has a lot of objects cut from the game still there, pine trees, a bunch of animation for cats not seen in the game, i guess the rumor of buying pet was real, cos they are all domestic animations, and there is a pet store in the game,lots of buildings and 3d assets, and unique animation peds dont use

I remember taking DAYS to download the Grim Fandango demo. It would just stop or disconnect. Couldn't use the phone for the better part of a week due to that. LOL

RDR2 was the most time consuming PS4 game to install that I've ever had. If memory serves, it took a few hours just to install the game to the console using the install disk and I think it came to around 100+GB of data. I was surprised as I've never had a PS4 game take anywhere near that long to install. Most of them install within a few minutes and some I think allow you to even start the game while its still installing. RDR2 however took a long time and then after that, it was recommended that you download the day one patch which was monstrous. It took me with our internet connection all day and night to download that. I couldn't install it until the following day. So it took almost two days from the time I bought RDR2 in the store to be able to play it. I imagine the cinematic/movie-like aspects of the game take up a lot of space.
Speaking of patches, as far as I can tell, Rockstar still has not fixed a significant problem they introduced with a subsequent patch. One of the later patches disabled ambient occlusion making the game not look as good as it did when I first started playing. I don't understand why they haven't addressed that yet. I imagine PC users won't have that problem as they are likely to have a whole slew of graphics options available to tweak.

There's never enough. I'm around 4TB and still have to hunt space sometimes. LOL

I just read that COD:MW IX is coming with a PC size download of 175GB Must be that open world COD experience with maps the size of a Far Cry game. Yeah. Right. ...although that would be pretty good, but I guess that's the new GR game. I wonder how much that one needs? edit: a PALTRY 42GB! Must suck! What is this, 2015? Geez!

I was going to hold out for the steam version but from what I hear steam wont have any preorder bonuses and it will still be linked to the R* launcher like how ubisoft launches uplay on steam. So there doesnt appear to be any real benefit to getting it on steam.
Nov 5th is coming fast.
