discussion What's your size limit on games

[Mrclx]

I mean disk space it's limited so do you have a max size when downloading one of these games, i myself try to stay under 5 gigs, but if a game looks really good or i'm already invested i'm willong to go up to 20

 

[vaelenor]

Never played something as large as 20. But I've gone up to 9-10 once. I sually just copy the logs and delete the games afterwards to make room

Anything over 5GB's I usually look for a compressed version as it saves hard-drive space.

 

[Xorsm]

I don't have one i have plenty of space 28tb of it to be that exact.

 

[pierce125]

I always do compressed if available, even if it's under 1 gig to start with. But 5+ gigs make me think "Is this really worth it?"

 

[User_80256]

For me the limit doesn't exist, of course, if the game is good. Many novice developers overuse .png files, which adds up to 5-6 gigabytes to the game.

Oh I have space but when you have a folder with 50 adult games and it totals 500GB+ that's insane. Anyway proper games need the space more and they each are
over 100+GB nowadays. Still if you can afford the higher tier SSD drives then kudos to you. As anything over 4TB is getting more expensive by the day.

I don't really have a limit. I tend to delete games once I'm done with them so as long as I don't need the space urgently it doesn't really matter.

I don't use SSD for the games. I use for gaming and downloading torrents unkillable server HHD - 10 and 12 Tb.

There is the obvious 5 gb limit some download sites restrict people to. Yes there are ways to get around it, but its is a slight pain the ass. In general that is a good indicator the game is too big. Which is where compressed becomes useful. For a select few games that are very good I will allow the uncompressed full version to sit on the disk and take up 5gb+. But that is rare.

But I have hevily modded Fallout 4 - it's 160+ Gb. And it doesn't give me any trouble. Also, Sims-4 on my wife's computer is 60+Gb. the game itself + 75 Gb. mods.

I use to as well their fine for adult games, videos, and such but not for proper gaming anymore.

In fact having a SSD is basically required nowadays.

SSD I use for OS only. The main disadvantage of SSDs is their limited lifespan. The performance of top server HDDs is enough for comfortable gaming. Yes, they are expensive, but they fully justify the money invested in them.

Space is cheap. So no size limit for me. I have a 2TB drive dedicated to any NSFW download. My other 5 drives are dedicated to other data: Windows, programs, apps, etc., depending on what said data is.
Also, when I download a new version of a game, of course, I delete the previous version once I confirm I have access to the old saves. Whenever a new version of a games does not grant me access to old saves, I then move the "save" folder of the previous version to the new.
Anyhoo, maybe I don't have enough games and other NSFW media on my drive; I still have 1TB of free space on the drive.

As a bit of a digital storage whore, disk space isn't so much a concern for me as download speed. Some of the hosting sites have such tight restrictions on dl speeds it can be a bit painful if you can't find a compressed version

 

[arka]

18gb

Torrents can help you.

 

[borregad]

i have a minimum size limit. i'll wonder if anything under 400mb is worth my time

 

[Bro69]

I just use an external HD, problem solved. Quite cheap these days too

How tf do you have 28 tb of storage
