    I don't understand why people keep like 50 games installed.

    it's not a triple-a game but it's a lot of fun
    I like the live commentary, a really fresh idea , makes it more interesting.

    Agreed, just the fact that Chris Parnell is the narrator makes it worth trying (Rick and Morty, Family guy, American dad, Archer among other things)

    nah
    better use a 2tb ssd and 18tb hdd and move them around, it takes a few minutes to move the folder

    I currently have 24 games installed on my two 1tb drives, and 700gb free

    the rest is on a few other ssds (sata ones I use via a docking station) and hdd, but I'm planning to get a big ass HDD, install everything I own there and just move ones I'm gonna play. or two 6-8g ones so that I don't lose everything if one fails.

    imo two 1-2tb ssds and two 4-8tb hdds is the right balance atm
    plenty of space,for games and storage,not to bad to fit in the case since nvme's sit on the board, and you're still not left with pants down should any of them fail

    If heard this game is so bad that it's almost fun.
     
  10. I might just want to play that one game one day, and don't feel like having to install it later :p

    I was surprised when I managed to fill a 1TB SSD with games the first time. Had to break out a 1TB HDD and move some games over to that. VR games have most of my space nowadays, along with WoW being 70GB, Skyrim VR having mods over 100GB, GTA V at 90GB, etc

    Don't be like that. It's not like I was stating something absolute, I plan on trying the game. It's pretty poorly reviewed though, what's your experience with it?

    Edit: I'm playing it and so far it's fitting the description I was given. So far, I'm not disappointed. Though I'm obviously at the start of the game.

    PCGamingWiki says it's 200 fps capped but for some reason it's capping at 150 for me and it's not a CPU or GPU limit, it's very obviously a software cap. 150 is well into the "good enough" territory but the game is using so few resources, at least in the area I'm in, that I might as well push it to the 240 fps my monitor can display if there's a way around the cap.

    And oddly enough, the PC version has no HDR option, no RT either.

    Because even with 1GB internet, I do not wanna effin wait to download games I wanna play at any random time. With a 4yr old, working on my property, my 2 cars, and working on the house, I wanna just fire a game when I have time.
    I had 400 games in steam installed alone. Also why I have 12tb+ of game storage on my rig between 3 ssds, and one mechanical drive.
    Not to mention hundreds of console games for emulators.
