PC game downloads have grown incredibly fast.
The writer believes the issue stems from the need for ultra high resolution textures and uncompressed audio. They also highlighted a wish for more flexible download options, such as breaking down large files into smaller parts—like splitting game modes on Steam so only relevant content is downloaded. The author questions whether "high resolution" textures actually make a difference, noting that similar quality differences are often minimal while saving significant VRAM.
The visual quality seems noticeably improved compared to Crysis, yet it functions smoothly even on basic hardware. The performance varies based on how textures are implemented. Bigger textures tend to appear on prominent, easily visible items. It would be unrealistic for someone to apply a 4K texture to a bullet casing that’s shot from a gun.
Certain creators focus on enhancing video clarity, while others prioritize overall gameplay feel.
The top choice here is The Witcher 3, widely regarded as one of the greatest games ever made, boasting impressive graphics for its size while staying under 40GB. Many titles now exceed 100GB with lower quality, making the 60GB Fallout 4 pack seem laughable. Who should be held responsible? I just hope more developers match the excellence seen in The Witcher.
