FPS/TPS/Driving/Flying games all generally require large file sizes. The more you can do in the game, the larger it is. Here is the issue, better graphics and models take up large amounts of space. Some time after, its now back up to 32 gigs compressed and people complain about how long the patches take to update.Īlso with that time they have to keep at least 30 gigs free on that drive, which again makes people made. People complained that it was taking up 20 or 25 gigs at the time, so they compressed it down to 13. Thats because if the game is compressed it takes time to uncompress it, install the updates and then recompress it. Oh and there are games that are compressed and they are also a pain in the butt and people complain about them taking so long to update, some people have claimed the large updates can take an hour or more to install AFTER they downloaded it. You should know what the size of the game is before you download, its on every single game page, down near the bottom with the rest of the system requirements. on two months! I bought Shadows of Mordor! That's 40 GB! How do you expect me to download that?!?! D:ĮDIT: I just went to the internet and found out that Shadows of Mordor can be compresed to have a size of 17 GB. Compressed! Not everyone has a Unlimited Permanent Internet Connection! And those who have it may not have the best one! I myself have a metered connection with which i can easily download 15 GB. Now, i "suppose" this is due to both the Desktop App and the Game's Engine that are featured being both especially made to this end, so i can easily understand the insane amount of effort that it would take to make it a feature of the Steam Client (A new partnership with the main Engines out there Unreal, Unity, etc is already something difficult)īut still it would be nice to at least have the Valve games featuring this "Play while downloading" feature!ĪAA games are AT LEAST 15 GB. So, if you are familiar with the Battle.Net desktop App or the classic Blizzard Launcher for different games you know that there is the possibility of playing the game before they are completely downloaded.
