GTA V for PC eats away 65GB of storage space

Checks calender.......Nope it's not April 1st

But they've got to be having a laugh, 65GB!! c:

 

I guess it is because of cutscenes with multi language xD

 

Holy bankroll batman ***128567;

 

Or some badass textures

 

Last year I got rid of my DVD drive because "Hell I never use it and I can put another fan in there"

Oh what a fool i've been, DAMN THEM

3 days of downloading it is then.

 

Sounds like it's time to upgrade my gaming dedicated SSD from 256 to 512GB then...

 

Hopefully it doesn't include 50GB of stupid DRM

 

DVD-ROM for games since ~2000!???? About too years!!!! Due to too number of DVD's!! Never BD-ROM for games yet???! Why?? :thumbdown :thumbdown

 

what worrys me is i got slow internet i need buy the retail disc version on amazon but steam you only get half the game on discs so still 30gb download thats gonna take 5 days of leaving pc on to download it

 

I should think that there is some compression so the download wont be near 65gb.

 

i guess it's: the bigger space it takes up the better nowadays? Sigh...

 

Yeah its a shame we have to fill our hard drive space with useful data for something we have purchased rather than leaving it free doing nothing

 

It's 2015. As long as it isn't because of some crappy Titanfail excuse.

 

Glad ive got a couple of 1TB SSDs

 

Will it have un-compressed audio maybe? I remember that was the case with Max Payne 3, took a lot of space for it's time.

 

I guess mp3 licenses are getting expensive...
This smells of not wanting to compress audio files or video files too much. Like when EA just dump a ton of uncompressed audio on the install because they probably didn't want to pay a royalty to someone.

 

You took the words right out of my mouth

 

65GB...

That's a big chunk of SSD and super-long loading times.
256GB SSDs stop being enough. Diablo 3 is 20GB, CoD:AF is around 40, BF4 57GB, and now this.Argh!
