  I remember when Titanfall being 50gb sparked an outrage, it’s a good thing SSDs are cheap now.

    I picked up a 1TB NVMe for literally $38 this week. Absolutely absurd how inexpensive SSDs are right now.

    Oh yeah, let’s create 250GB SSD cartridges per game because thry each cost about 26€

    You know how ridiculous that sounds, right?

      Yes, that does sound ridiculous, good thing I didn’t say it.

      If we move to a new era of physical games with NVME drives instead of CDs, I’d love it on a mostly unironic level.

      Better than the current state for PC games where you buy a physical release and its an empty box with a Steam code taped to the inside.

      Yes, everyone realizes how ridiculous that sounds. Why did you post it?

      Also, please don’t give EA any ideas.

      I mean if you really wanna maximize your spending you can get 150 1gb flash drives and trick the OS to thinking its one device.

      Or like just gets bigger drive that’s cheaper per GB like someone with a brain.

      And like how would cartridge games work anyways? most PCs have really limited sata slots

  Time for another SSD

    We have gone from cartridges, to CDs, to kind-of cartridges.
    We have kinda gone full circle! Now we need something lile a holocron or like a Cortana AI chip to store an even bigger amount.

    • theRealBassist@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m here for data holocrons.

      Just like set into an interface built into your desk and boom, hard drive.

      Make it open up like jedi holocrons and I’ll buy 10 just to play with them

    Yeah, add to that MSFS with all extensions, and now my 1 TB 970 Pro isn’t enough : (

  So it’s about the size of Baldur’s Gate 3… Better have just as much content!

  • Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    What a weird take.

    You can just play a game for fun you know.

    Comparison is the thief of joy.

    • SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Eh, it’s a full priced AAA game. I think it’s fair to have some expectations from it.

  When I got the Series X I thought “oh good, I won’t have to juggle my games now that I have so much space.”

  Dammit.

• DarkThoughts@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Do we have any sort of information on how big the Shattered Space Story Expansion is supposedly going to be? Because 30 bucks extra seems excessive, especially when the game is already 70 bucks. Kinda feels like they just want to lure you with the early access, which will likely be a hot mess anyway.

    I am going to take a few days and wait on it. The last game I preordered from bethesda was fallout 76, and that was a wake up call.

    No one in the video game industry is beyond delivering a poor experience for tons of money.

    • DarkThoughts@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That game was pretty obvious though. It was purely building on that stupid multiplayer pvp sandbox hype at the time.
