One update is like 100GB - like what the hell is in these games? Hmm, I really don't know what's containing in such kind of game. In rather have the game left out of my one terabyte console dubce it simply wants to suck off my ROM space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 We should always leave out some space in our console or gaming device for app large data file, it will enable it run smoothly and not lagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 On 10/9/2021 at 12:58 AM, killamch89 said: It's always freaking Call Of Duty that takes up most of the memory! Seriously, what is in these games? I think it is partially publisher and developer bullshit, which I'll get to in a bit, but there is some technical reasons for this. The main reason why Call of Duty's file sizes are so large is because they tend to use uncompressed files for audio and various other things. There actually some pro's to this. Using compressed files reduces the disk space required but it also increases the workload on the CPU. It has to "unpack" the files in the same way that you would if you were opening up a Zip file using WinZip or something. Which in a fast paced shooter like Call of Duty is not desirable. With that being said I do think Activision are being a bit fly. By allowing their games to be so large they are making it more difficult for the end user to install any of their competitors on your system. You wanna play the latest Battlefield and Call of Duty but don't got enough space? WELL TOUGH! You gotta delete our game and go through the pain in the ass process of downloading it again next time you wanna play! It's so dastardly I almost kind of admire it.

Syntax Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I've found it an issue when it comes to consoles, even after upgrading their internal HDD to the maximum size possible. When it comes to PC, I feel like it's easy to move games from the main drive to a secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's something that's good when it comes to being into PC gaming. Space is never really going to be much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually why most PC gamers find it very hard to switch back to playing on console for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 PC storage space is also limited. Unless you own those ones that is 1 terabyte in storage drive. That's when you'll enjoy having lots of games without running quick out of storage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane99 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Like in terms of not having enough space for the games you want to install? idk, I have about 1TB in storage on my Xbox One, and most of the time it's filled up. But there are so many games I don't play, that I'd be fine deleting some to make room. So it's never really a bother for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some gamers have this attachment with any games they have already installed that they can't delete them easily. My junior brother is like that..

Scorpion Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 Definitely! Limited hard drive space is a constant struggle. It forces tough choices about which games to keep and delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
