MMmmmmm, New AvP game from Sega

[ssurgul]

Interesting. Gotta exit Steam before the Steam installer will work with it. Bizarre.

And OMFG! Twig, you'd asked about disk space usage and why someone would need 2TB drives? This game, before screenshots or other personal info, uses over 15GB by itself....

Holy crap!! 15GB!!! I guess I should not be to suprised, I mean its really starting to get to that point with games. What will honestly amaze me is when they figure out a new method of compression that will keep the games the same quality but decrease the data size down to 1GB or something like that.

Well, the installer is on two DVD's, so that was my first clue it's become absurd. But frankly, if this game size is due bigger, better, more detailed game play and levels, then I'm all for it. We'll see though.

I have a 2TB drive. And a 1.5TB drive. And a 1.5TB external drive. And a "small" drive that holds the o/s.

But it's mostly for photos rather than games.

Photos are another good one, though I know you shoot in RAW rather than compression for quality purposes, right?

I shoot RAW because if I ever get any shots I want to enter in the BBC Wildlife photo contest, they require a RAW original.

But even the jpegs from the 7D are 5MB each.
