discussion What's your size limit on games

[Twigless Leaf]

Personally I have no limit, but my bandwith is the problem. Downloading for hours ain't fun.
I'm surprised about the Koikatsu (Koikatu) games, how big the downloads are. Playing it would leave the impression, that I shouldn't be more than 8-10 GB, but downloading 35-40 GB for it, feels too much.
Would like to upgrade my storage, but thanks to AI the HDD I want costs about 50% more than a year ago. I have the slight feeling it won't be cheaper soon.

I try to stay around 1-5gb but if the ratings are good, i will go up to 10-20gb.

 

[FiddleFaun]

50 GB is limit for some games, but so far there's none as long as I still have space for storage.

 

[drilling]

never gone above 10gb, usually stick to 1-5

I don’t understand why some games are so large . . . Most Id download is 9-10 gigs

 

[bricome]

i usually delete the games im not actively playing, so game size doesnt normally matter until we start getting into the 100gb, which ive never seen a porn game come close to that

 

[NoThanksMan]

For gaming in general, I start getting really annoyed once the size is over 100gb. It's not a dealbreaker but a game has to be somehow important for me to keep it installed for any length of time at that size.

VNs in the 1-20 gb don't usually raise my eyebrows but when bigger than that I do sort of assess for whether or not the content justifies the space, or whether it's inflated by things like media assets (music, say) that I'm just turning off anyway.

If a porn game has over 50 GB then I'll start reconsidering even downloading it as why tf would it be so big.

 

[kaguyakaga]

i'll download anything once. unless i actually enjoy the scenes in it, i usually delete everything after i finish it

 

[kremtoa]

Indie ~ 5-20 GB
AAA ~ 50 GB
Porn Game ~ don't really care as long as it's good

 

[dirtygamer12]

for porn games under 5 GB is ideal, 10 GB is starting to get too big

 

[justrand0m10]

To be honest I don't care about the file size, I have a lot of space and I download stuff pretty quickly and it will deleted after finishing anyways.

 

[Woohooislander]

I get sketched out when games get over 4 or 5 gigs so a lot of times I kind of avoid them. There are some exceptions to that rule, but still.

 

[highstr]

if a game is promising enough than nothing will stop me from downloading it. ive waited whole days for a game when i had bad internet but still deleted them straight afterwards but its never stopped me from doing it again

 

[ppkmaster]

I usually delete the game after I finish it, so I guess the size doesn’t really matter.

 

[Haywoodspartan]

Mainly depends on the games and what/how it was rendered
I usually run deduplication on assets wherever I can especially for Steam Related Game and/or Repacks.

 

[7koUr9983hDJ]

I never look at game size. The bigger the better

 

[thrashpoint]

If I need more memory, I buy more memory (at least until the data centers buy it all up).

I know why a lot of people need the games to be split but I wish more games had the option to launch the full game in one exe file. It's just a cleaner presentation on my pc and I wouldn't ever need to worry about manually installing persistent files, adding mods, and patches to multiple game files. I am however glad that there are options that make it easier for portable devices which I also use.

If I ever need to delete games to make room I always save the zip files, passwords, and cover images for the sake of game preservation. You never know how long sites like LC will last

 

[Msm]

I'd saty anything over 10 gb and I begin to question my life choices

 

[Lizzy]

I stop at around 10Gb.
