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

Not to be captain obvious, but you'll never be able to do that on a console, if that is something you think you'll need to do, why game on a console?

I mean $500 would get you a reasonable gaming PC on the used market, certainly something sufficient enough to meet the minimum requirements or even recommended and you'd have the option to upgrade it further over time.

I know a new gaming PC is expensive, specially something high end, but its not something I'd consider a random purchase, its an investment in your entertainment and over the course of ownership you'll easily get your monies worth from it.

Once you have it, you'll be upgrading it piece by piece for years to come. I just bought a new fancy case (Montech King 95 Pro), why? Because I wanted a new case with lots of RGB, no other reason.

double posting...

Not to be thick, but there is much assumption on you comment, that shouldn't be here.

Sometimes in life we have priorities...
My console is to gaming, exclusively.
My high end PC is to work, exclusively as well.

Specially to set a good example to my children, know how to balance leisure time and worktime, even when working for yourself at home.


But, if a game is made available on Console, the minimum the company can do, is make it comfortably playable. Other games developers do.

I appreciate a good troll thread as much as the next guy, but it hardly works, as even console version of big games with their blurry low/ medium textures take 60GB min and often approach 100. I have a few near 200GB titles on my PC, this is a norm nowadays.

Also, after a decade there is a sequel that finally looks good, and all you have to say is downgrade it? Buy more and faster storage, better internet, better rig, and stop ruining a good thing with your low res standards.

In the world of high speed internet and fast computers and massive storage, a large game clocking 90gb isn't even remotely uncommon.

>Others are bad therefore it's okay that we're also bad

No.

Last Epoch textures are blurry and garbage, and sound lines a fraction the number or length of poe2. It's a miniscule and low res game in comparison. That's fine, games are allowed to do that, but scope and fidelity increases size.

That's good and well but honestly I don't give a poop about voiced spell descriptions and PoE2s blurry and brown textures. Not after 100h anyway. What I will care about after 100h is performance and disk size.

So there we have already a road to a solution: Make narrated spells, voice lines and blurry brown textures optional!

Man, with the amount of time you've spent on this thread talking about storage, you could've cut someones lawn or shovelled some snow for a few hours and bought yourself a new SSD for your Steamdeck.

2TB NVME SSD's can be had for as little as 90 bucks if you look around(second hand might even be about 70$). That's like, 5 houses being shoveled. Just go walk up to your neighbours and ask, say you'll do it for 20 bucks. There has to be something you can do to earn 100$.

Seems a lot easier to do that, than expecting the company to solve it for you.

Love how in your own video they reference techniques POE2 devs used.... 12m:36s.

Yeah, it is good that they are pursuing making their game tolerable to play but...

they forgot to tell the young man in the video that it is not enough to just talk about something you want to do, it is not even enough to do it, you need to successfully do it.

It is indeed often times much easier to do something yourself if you want something done correctly.

But that begs the question: if GGG is unable to deliver game, why play game? I was under the impression that they want me to spend time playing their game, not the other way around.
