On PC, the game is 139.84 GB. On console, it’s 100.19 GB for Standard or 117.07 GB for the Premium Edition
You do realize storage drives aren’t exactly expensive?
Not expensive, but it’s another expense that not everyone can drop immediately.
For most it would be a choice of upgrading to a new drive or getting two games.
I’m pretty conscious of other people financial situations, but a 512GB SSD is 19.99 on amazon. That’s 1/3 the price of the game.
If you have a 512gb SSD and want more space than you need an 1tb or 2tb, and NVME m2s cost more than regular ssds
Not really honestly. 1TB Sabrent rocket is $40. 1TB SATA SSD is $34.
Sure. And of course it remains to be seen whether Starfield is worth it, but it’s undeniable that a game of this magnitude isn’t a common occurrence. If they realize the game’s potential, then missing out on it because of a relatively inexpensive hardware upgrade seems like a shame.
It kind of is though. We’ve already had at least 3 games of this magnitude drop this year alone.
I’m guessing one of those is Baldurs Gate, but I’m struggling to think of two more. There’s been some decent games for sure but none other that I’d put on the same scale. Diablo 4 had the potential but squandered it imo.
Is a game like Starfield “missable” though? Games like this’ll realistically be accessible for years (decades?) to come (not even counting Bethesda’s love of rereleasing their latest hit a la Skyrim lol). They might miss out on the cultural discussion if the game’s a hit though, that’s definitely a trade-off of late adoption, like what I’m experiencing with BG3 lol.
Yeah that’s fair. It might even be worth waiting a year so the community can fix all the bugs :p I know I’m too impulsive to wait that long though. Played through Cyberpunk at launch and loved it!
