just get an external SSD bro. makes the game run faster anyway

Devs need to learn how to fucking compress.

That takes time and money. They'd rather fuck your harddrive dry with a dick the size of your forearm.

I'm pretty sure the exact opposite is the case. They don't care so much about people who consume pirated media, they're far more concerned with people who distribute it.

>Live in Australian suburbs

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH

Whilst our online infrastructure is beyond archaic, 130gb shouldn't be too bad for most right now if downloading at their connections optimal speed (and we've finally started fucking off data caps).

For me, I'd have to start the download before leaving for work and it might be ready later on in the night. Haven't quite downloaded something that large yet though.

Worst case scenario, I'd be playing it the next day.

Why do games even have fuckhuge gigabite files? We all know it's uncompressed half assed dub of Euronigger language. Does every game HAVE to have one voice actor for French, Spanish, German, Portugese etc? Do Eurofags not know how to read? A game with one set language and translated dub for Eurocuck niggerspeak would be so much better and most likely cheaper.

Yes because I'm not an illiterate fucking retard and can read my own language while listening to the immersive native language. This is why modern games are fucking shit and AA games equally so, in Kingdom Come a game set in 1403 Czechslovakia Bohemia why are we hearing generic english voice actors instead of native Czech?

OK. If you Burgers have no problem with reading subtitles in games, why do you hate them in movies?
>inb4 there are no good non-American movies

most burgers hate all subtitles which is why shitty dubs of old kung fu movies like Drunken Master exist

If Steam allowed players to download a game and then pick the dub through the DLC checkmark menu that'd be fucking great.

Zoomer devs are shit at compressing game files, but it's due to becoming complacent and not having to work around limitations as much.

The same files over and over. The current gen devs think that by making their games bloated, they'll discourage piracy. The hardware manufacturers spun it as "now you can play your games AS they install because instead of rendering the guns once, they're rendered for each level!" Devs copy/pasted on us.

that is just pure ineptitude from devs

grafffix

SSD's are dirt cheap right now

A strong theory for Halo 5 is that there's little ACTUAL asset reuse.
An example is that there are near-identical structure in Warzone called Armories. Almost every Armory looks and performs the same, but because of their very slight differences, they're all saves as unique armory files in the code. So that would be minimum 16 unique structures that could have all been compiled down to four, maybe two, sets of models and textures.
This also applies to Garages.

Live out in the middle of nowhere, can only get satellite internet, unlimited data plan starts at $250 a month, opt for $70 a month plan, get 60 gig on peak an 100 off, can only download a game a month.

HD graphics and audio. I don't understand why people are shocked to discover that stuff takes up space. A general rule of thumb for textures, as an example, is when you double the resolution you quadruple the space requirements. Going from 512x512 to 2048x2048 comes with a hefty cost to your hard drive.

>SSD is too small
Then why not Internal SSD + External HDD? Best of both worlds desu.

Because in the time period the people spoke the dead linguistic of bohemian you fucking mongoloid why do you think they say "cumins".

The whole point was historical consistency. Either dread up a barely known dead language and pay out the fucking ass for professionals to voice it competently, which they couldn't do, or use the symbolic language of the time. Old english.

Its Comcast.

maybe 10 years ago. ISPs have been disclosing data caps for a good while now, probably because mobile made it ok. these days "unlimited" is an add-on that you can buy for about $50/mo.

Halo 5 at least has HD audio for every language and dozens of duplicate 1080 res models for spartan armor, weapons, etc.

"""hd""" audio doesn't take up a lot of space if a proper codec is used.

>takes literally 20 minutes to download
wheres the problem?

I bought Doom a few minutes ago, 80 fucking GB download.

It is somewhere around $160 for decent speed unlimited Internet, I checked the website you are right, they do offer it. But how many people pay that much really?

The $90 "middle" plan, that I use, still has a data cap.

>even a 150GB download only takes me an hour
I can't believe some people still have data caps.

I would insult you for demanding other people read while your shit is blaring in the background, but you are probably one of those fucks insisting on undub patches even though you don't speak jap just to rub your e-peen.

This used to be a thing on older consoles, e.g. in Sonic CD (for Sega CD) every level is pretty much its own ROM with all Sonic and enemy sprites etc. This was done to improve loading times, as the system just needs to load one 512KB block in its memory instead of a gajillion files from all over the CD.

You don't have to install each game to your SSD dumbass. Buy a huge HDD and just keep your favorites always installed. Most games don't benefit from running off an SSD anyway.

Finish one game and move on so fucking hard? Multiplayer games are fucking cancer anyways.

Yeah because games are the only thing I want on my HDD and everyone has a good enough connection to download something the moment they want it.
