I remember being floor to see that GTA V on my PS3 was a 8gb disc. Zero optimization for consoles these days.
When Baldur's Gate 2 came out it was on 6 CDs, like 4GB. Game was massive.
UT2k3 was 7 discs iirc.
Funny UT2k4 was only 6. Better compression maybe?
That’s so wild, I had a pirated copy that was a single disc install. How’s that work?
DVD ISO?
Must’ve been. Why didn’t they do commercial releases that way, are DVDs that expensive?
At the time we all had CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs were expensive. It'd be a few more years til PC games started to be shipped on DVD and Steam was in it's baby stage at the time. My copy of San Andreas was a DVD-ROM, but pretty much every other game I bought was CD until Civ 5 which did come on DVD... and a steam code which was required this making the DVD useless haha.
I remember Hexen was on eight damned floppies. What a pain.
Wait, what ?
Meanwhile it's 98 GB on PC.
