LOL Dangerous consequences, common practice.. Listen to yourself. OH NO the sky is falling! 20 more GB.. OH SHIT.

Instead of laughing and dissing my statements, actually provide evidence that something I said is wrong.
The issue is, All that I’ve written is a problematic direct consequence of your complacency with such a practice and you not only don’t care but think it’s harmless while ignoring all the evidence that it isn’t.

The only laughing matter here is how you dodge every single point made against you. You’ve been doing so every single comment. You still haven’t answered to a single line!
And the few lame excuses you’ve made only showed further grave ignorance on things that should be basic knowledge!

What I mean is who (anyone who actually has half a brain ie not you) gives a fuck? Not me.

Given the ammount of attention this issue and the amount of people who actually agreed with my points and concerns, a lot of people.

Also please at least have the face not to try to insult my intelligence. You’re the one who made illogical correlations, based a whole argument on false assumptions and ended up with implying
that compression, efficiency and other vital things in computers are useless, irrelevant and unneeded.

I understand it’s a lot to ask for a delusional person but please don’t blame other people for your own flaws.

Who says nothing in there is compressed?

Nobody. It’s obvious you can’t even properly read what you’re being told.
Nothing surprising there…

Textures AFAIK don’t compress that well anyway.. again where’s your proof?

But you already showed that you know nothing about what you’re talking about so nothing surprising there.

Are you seriously going defensive against me to the point of asking me for proof of basic and known concepts?
What does that say about your failed argument that I haven’t already pointed out.

Textures, like any other kind of image, can be compressed easily. There is nothing on them that makes them compress any differently than any other image.
Seriously at least go read up on basic stuff.

If you need explaining on something you’re arguing about, it’s another red flag that you’re just spewing rubbish.
Anything that I claimed and that a person discussing this doesn’t need to know I’ve already backed with proff, evidence and explanation.

You and your wild assumptions and accusations on the other hand….

You’re just assuming it’s 40GB of padding, you have NO FUCKING IDEA AND NO FUCKING PROOF SO fuck off with that reasoning. It’s fucking retarded.

Hilarious, but I never said it necessarily had to be 40GB of padding. You’re the one assuming things here.
Good job on failing to read every single thing you’re attempted to reply to.

All while insulting other people’s intelligence.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds and you’re getting pissed at your own ignorance. Hilarious.

Who says nothing in there is compressed? Textures AFAIK don’t compress that well anyway.. again where’s your proof? You’re just assuming it’s 40GB of padding, you have NO FUCKING IDEA AND NO FUCKING PROOF SO fuck off with that reasoning. It’s fucking retarded.

Ugh I’ll respond to the rest of your bullshit later.

It’s assumed that was the case and even if it was who gives a fuck?

Appearently a lot of people since they can see the dangerous consequences of such a thing becoming common practice.

40GB is nothing plain and simple compressed or uncompressed or just high res texture who cares?
It’s not a big deal. Wasted space? The fuck dude.. if you’re not using the space then THAT is wasted space

Really?
You’ve just gone against so many standards and basic practices of computer science I can hear the painful screams of anyone reading such a comment.

Am I safe to assume you don’t use any zip or rar file, that all your images are bitmaps and every single video you store is in rawvideo?
You also despise MP3 in favor of wav right?

Are you seriously ignoring the consequences of discarding compression and it becoming a common practice????

Why the hell am I even replying to someone like you..

That’s simple.
You’ve already demonstrated you’re not a very smart person to even see the direct consequences of your statements based on huge misconceptions and ignorance.
So it’s clear you’re replying because you still cannot see the buttload of rubbish you’re writing.

Not this large huh? Well it’s there. You tell me what that 40GB comprises of exactly. Or get one of the devs to comment.

That is actually what you should be doing.
You got the game, go analyze the files, if you even know how to. You clearly showed you don’t understand compression so it will probably be a lost cause for you but hey, positive thinking, I still have hope.

Nevertheless it’s been stated that the game has an abnormally high filesize compared to similar and better games.
Intentionally or not, that mistake or abnormality had an effect on piracy which, if it becomes a common practice becomes a terrible problem since lawful customers get worse products than pirates who
can easily compress the product. It also goes against the general purpose of anyone developing anything: efficiency.

It’s been 3 or 4 comments and you still miss the core point and issue!
Seriously this should be enough red-flags for you to stop and realize the stupidity of your diatribe.

So the proof is just in the fact it’s 40GB.

No , that’s not a proof, that’s the core fact on which the issue and the discussion is based given it’s consequences.
Are you so lost that you don’t even know what you’re talking about?

Or ya know find an extra what $20 to more than cover the additional space requirement.

For someone so worked up against shitty setups I can’t help but laugh at your suggestion to buy a 20$ disk, if that even exists.

And you still don’t understand that this is not a problem with not having enough space for the game. Hilarious how you keep repeating the same thing despite being shown and told
what the actual problem is and how wrong your arguments are.

It’s sad to the point it’s laughable.

The only people that were really crying over it was the ones downloading it..

That’s your baseless assumption.
The fact of the matter is that people actually worried with the problems of such an anti-piracy practive or if it wasn’t intentional, such an unprofessional development practice are the ones
complaining first and foremost. The discussion on this thread is a prime example of it.

Obvious flaw? You just pick apart a statement to find something to argue about, there is no fucking flaw man you’re just being a douche.

No, I pick the parts of your text (which unfortunately are pretty much everything) were your flaws are and I point them out.
Am I a douche for showing the flaws in your arguments and logic and inability to see the consequences of your statements? Or are you the douche for being unable to man up to your obvious and clear mistakes?
It’s getting very hypocritical of you at this point.

I understand everything just perfectly.

You can’t even understand the basic direct consequences of your statement!
You can’t even understand compression nor its importance!

How can you even write that???
Are you delusional?

You’re not twisting facts, your trying to find stupid arguments in statements.

Please point to proper evidence on the flaws of my statements.
So far you’ve just avoided all the flaws pointed out in yours and dissed everything as “poor people crying” which is not only a ridiculous generalization, but also a huge misconception.
You can either stop circling around and dodging the issue or shut up.
Just don’t make yourself look any worse for your own sake.

TB+ hdds are common, to say that you don’t need that space for anything else completely misses the point of this article.

The point of this article was that a bad development practice had effects on piracy.
You’re the one missing the point entirely which is the consequences of such a malpractice.

Who cares if for most games a 500GB HDD is okay? I don’t load up an gaming system with a 500GB HDD..

So you’re also economically insane and buy things you don’t need?
Because free space (to a certain degree) really doesn’t affect gaming performance. But I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t knew that since you actually assumed the two were correlated 2 coments ago.

Again you’re just finding stupid weak arguments

Really? Again delusional???
You said that gaming performance and HDD space were directly coorelated and I showed you a simple example that counters your argument.

Please wake up to reality, if your statement gets proven wrong with a simple example, then it’s your argument that’s flawed and weak.
A simple example that destroyed your argument isn’t weak.

Are you so ignorant that you can’t tell simplicity appart from weakness?

I’m not even going continuing to bother replying to you after this, you’re fucking stupid.

Jump in the pit yourself you dumb fuck.

Hilarious typical Ad Hominem of someone with no arguments and unable to even address the issues pointed back at him, let alone the actual topic at hand.

Great Ego shield, be careful just not to burst your reality bubble on the way out.
Come back when you’ve at least learned what the topic and issues at hand were.

Have fun using all that empty space on your HDD. Oh wait that’s what it’s there for

Exactly, it’s there for useful data not uncompressed, useless garbage.
Or do you want me to give you a script that fills your disk with several 4gb files full of 0′s?

Given that statement It seems that you’d love that!
Or perhaps a decompression bomb so that you understand the actual problem going on.

Anyways, thanks for the laugh.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a new low on IQ.

100GB! AIN’T NOBODY GOT SPACE 4 DAT!

I don’t think 40GB HURTS legit customers.. They can save and download on steam and take the 40GB hit (not a big deal if you have unlimited cap) or find it on disc and maybe pay more for it.. probably works out about the same. Only thing is that if you have a shit cap, you might have to wait awhile to get it.. or ya know, find the game second hand…

So much derp out there, when people want something for nothing and then proceed to complain about it, it’s at times like these I wish I could just cull the population.

Not this large huh? Well it’s there. You tell me what that 40GB comprises of exactly. Or get one of the devs to comment.

So the proof is just in the fact it’s 40GB. Wow. GG.
Even if you could prove it, again Big fucking deal.
Play it uninstall it. Or ya know find an extra what $20 to more than cover the additional space requirement.
The only people that were really crying over it was the ones downloading it.. And IDK why the fuck anyone should even care about that.

Obvious flaw? You just pick apart a statement to find something to argue about, there is no fucking flaw man you’re just being a douche. I understand everything just perfectly. You’re not twisting facts, your trying to find stupid arguments in statements.

TB+ hdds are common, to say that you don’t need that space for anything else completely misses the point of this article. It’s about DOWNLOADING the pirated version. Who cares if for most games a 500GB HDD is okay? I don’t load up an gaming system with a 500GB HDD.. Again you’re just finding stupid weak arguments I’m not even going continuing to bother replying to you after this, you’re fucking stupid.

Jump in the pit yourself you dumb fuck.

Forum link where questions are raised about what makes the game so big, general consensus is that it’s the pre-rendered video and the megatexturing.

Have fun using all that empty space on your HDD. Oh wait that’s what it’s there for.. So hard to back up and uninstall when you need the space too.. Think I’ll QQ on torrentfreak cos I feel so hard done by. Oh technology Y U MOVE SO FAST!? Fuck.

Being used as a deterrent for piracy? LOL, it’s just a fucking side effect..

Please either don’t reply to discussions you’ve clearly forgotten about the topic or at least read up. The point of the article was that the size was used as a measure to deter pirates. Plain simple.

things get larger and more detailed as time goes on.

Not this large. It was already established that it was abnormally big for the content it has.

Where’s your proof that this game was deliberately made larger to deter piracy?

The fact that the game was abnormally bigger than normal without actually holding anything higher quality than the usual or anything noticeably causing it?
Did you read the article ??
Did you actually forget the point of the discussion and are arguing against what was already told?

What points?

Clearly you can’t read proper english since you not only failed to adress them, but also notice them.

You make no valid points of anything, you’re just stupid and have a small HDD and a pitiful internet plan. Basically you’re a poor man and you’re QQing.

I beg to differ, you’re now resorting to baseless insults based on a desperate attempt to justify your flawed arguments.
Now dealing with facts. I actually own two TB disks since I actually need them and use one to switch things around! And unlike in the US, the internet here is rather fast (100+ mbps fast).

Sorry to burst your bubble. Oh but don’t take my word for it.

Ugh, you love twisting things to suit an arguement don’t you?

Nope, I’m just showing the obvious flaw in your statement. You’re implying that not wanting to have 40GB of useless
data means that people have shitty pc’s, connections or both.
While ignoring the actual issue. I’m just showing you that flaw since I’ve repeated the issue several times and you still can’t understand it.

Please show where have I twisted the facts with a proper quote if you’re so convinced.
The only one assuming things out of nowhere is you.

If a system has such a small HDD that someone feels the need to complain
about 40 measly GB then the rest of the system would hardly be up to spec now would it? It’s just fucking common sense dude.

Because people playing games actually need that much right? Oh wait… with large games being arround 20gb at most you’re ok with even a .5TB disk.

Angry? This is hilarious how fucking stupid you are..

Oh, angry and delusional I see.
You’re one of those who can’t see the pit even while standing next to it….

I understand the simplest of facts it’s you who isn’t getting it.

Funny since you keep insulting and claiming errors but so far, 0 evidence of them was given. Plus you clearly forgot the key issue of the discussion while also ignoring every single point people (not me alone) told you.

Being used as a deterrent for piracy? LOL, it’s just a fucking side effect.. the game is the size it is, things get larger and more detailed as time goes on.

Ugh, you love twisting things to suit an arguement don’t you? Generally the HDD you install on is a single HDD. If a system has such a small HDD that someone feels the need to complain about 40 measly GB then the rest of the system would hardly be up to spec now would it? It’s just fucking common sense dude.

Angry? This is hilarious how fucking stupid you are..
