Every time I hear anything about this game it gets worse and worse

If I recall, my friend could opt out of the 4k shit upon starting the installer? I think?

The PC version is just too fucking big for its own good.

Whatever your stance is, games themselves being above 20-30GB is usually just fucking ridiculous and a sign of extreme laziness, let alone a god damn patch being almost 5 times that.

Geez.

The blessing of higher storage space is not meant to be an excuse for this level of fucking laziness damn it.

Your post-install file size is irrelevant because games compress after unpacking and installing, genius.

Again, props to the guy on the first page for getting it down to 65 gb. I can't simulate the """Standard content"" tickbox being defaulted again since Steam apparently caches dlc and you can't reinstall it altogether. The entire steam download is 97 gb standard content included, because the texture pack is a fucking 30 gb download. I don't care what it compresses to after it's installed.

On a side note its really interesting watching my IP throttle the shit out of this download.

Daily reminder that you shouldn't buy Shadow of War as they have purposely taken pieces out of the game simply for the sake of pushing forward loot boxes and day one DLC.

Since when is 100gb a lot? You can get a 1TB HDD for $30-40 cheaper than what the game costs.

Also, don't blame the developers you have potato internet.

Stupid verzion never finished upgrading the infrastructure for fios in the region after doing 80% of the work.

I had to opt in to get the higher textures and 4k videos. Those together are around 30 gigs if i remember right.
