Blimey games are a lot bigger than they used to be!

I thought a 240GB SSD would be enough, given on my old laptop it had a 40GB HDD and I didn't fill that. (I have a home NAS for media and personal files).

Then I installed a game on my new PC, a relatively simple looking World of Warships that I got free with the motherboard. 34GB install!!

Looks like another hard drive will be needed sooner that I thought.

I know games have moved on a lot, but decent games used to fit on a handful of floppy discs, now an install is 9 DVD's big!

Do you think the proliferation of computing power, cheap storage and online delivery has made developers lazy with storage optimisation?

fixed it for you.

Not gonna be spending hundreds on a large SSD unfortunately. Old fashion 7200rpm drive for my second one.


Anyone remember when some special large carts were released for the Mega Drive back in the day? I think Street Figher II was a special, and I think cost around £70 at the time!

Yes I remember the Super SF2, was very expensive for the time. It was only a few Mb as well.

It was 40 Megabit! (just looked it up on google) = 5 MB.

And I had to buy a special controller with an extra 3 buttons too!
