    Insane disc space required by AAA games

    What happens is that modern hardware makes devs sloppier or it makes it easier for you to slip tons of data and not spend time on optimizing. And it's also the artists. Many artists are used to love making the most detailed models with most detailed textures and be like "Take my 4GB character...

    Insane disc space required by AAA games

    I just read about Titanfall needing so much space because of uncompressed audio files. And that they did this to save CPU speed. I think this is a lie. You could have realtime audio decompression in a Pentium 1 machine in the late 90s. You can even choose to decompress in memory during loading...

    How Massive is Wolfenstein: The New Order?

    I remember an Amstrad CPC collection of almost all games. I think the zipped archive was 100MB. I think one way to estimate is to search for packages like all SNES ROMs, C64 game collection, etc. Sometimes these collections, even before 1992 can be bigger, like Amiga/Atari stuff where you have...

    Sexualized characters that were done right.

    I am not sure if I understand the concept of this thread. What is said here is that if women are dressed too sexy, it can still be good if fitting their personality. In fact I find it neither good or bad, but that's not because of the character background. In reality, most of the time the...

    Poll: Do Phobias Affect Your Gaming?

    I know a lot of people suffer from arachnophobia and I believe them when they say they stopped playing that game and uninstalled it because of spiders. The closest to this I have is ants. The look of a single ant in a still picture or in a documentary about nature, I might look away, I might...
