EIGHTY SIX GIGABYTES (86) no matter how good it looks and sounds its bloat guaranteed

I logged into POE yesterday and it took forever to travel to hideouts.. or even an act.. POE2 takes my PC like 5 seconds over there its like a good 20-30 seconds. QQ

Literally none of you have a clue what are you talking about.

You don't need 4k textures on models this small at distances as far as you will be.

At the distance you render everything you would barely notice if it was 4k vs 2k and the size difference between 4k and 2k is MASSIVE.

The optimization of this game is severely lacking.

I was ready! Now I have 8 FPS compared to a comfortable 30 at the beginning of the EA. (that was low settings to begin with)

Don't worry, I've adapted. New rig ETA 9 days!

86 jigabytes is nothing for a modern AAA game. I have games still in Alpha that take up more space.

For example.

Star Citizen = 117GB
Diablo 4 = 123GB
Cyberpunk 2077 = 84GB
Baldurs Gate 3 = 147GB
Black Myth Wukong = 128GB
Red Dead Redemption 2 = 119GB
Stalker 2 = 153GB

So really for a modern game 86GB is pretty much expected, if not on the lower side of what is fast becoming the norm. It helps having multiple 4TB Samsung 980 Pro m.2 drivers :)

Star Citizen = 117GB - We can play offline.
Diablo 4 = 123GB - We can opt out the High quality to install just 64GB
Cyberpunk 2077 = 84GB - We can play offline.
Baldurs Gate 3 = 147GB - We can play offline.
Black Myth Wukong = 128GB - We can play offline.
Red Dead Redemption 2 = 119GB - We can play offline.
Stalker 2 = 153GB - We can play offline.


PoE 2 would have the same opt out option to not install the High quality 4K Ultra unnecessary FPS drop mechanic.

Star Citizen cannot be played off line. It's a space MMO!

As for the other games, they are either online multiplayer only (D4) or single player games.

Yes BG3 can be played offline, by disabling all MP features, that's the only exception but its also a slow paced turn based RPG, not an action RPG like D4, LE or PoE1/2.

LE can be played offline as well and that games only 22GB, why not go play that instead if storage space is a concern to you?

It's literally $0.013c per GB of storage currently (about $13 per TB), it's cheap as hell.

Is not about storage space, is about system stress.

Playing it on console we can't tweak like on PC.

As a console player, maybe you're not aware but you can actually upgrade the storage on both the PS5 and Xbox systems.

Also, it's early access, save these complaints for launch, they aren't done with optimisation by a long shot, specially on consoles which are an after thought to put it bluntly.

I love a good IT argument.

Everyone's an expert and everyone else is a luddite and actually no one can fix anything.
