CoD: AW - PC Min. Sys. Reqs. Revealed - 55gb of storage needed

[jaggysnake57]

I'm not the one getting so angry over a game series that I am supposedly supposed to hate so much. I am okay with saying how flawed the game has become and how little they've actually progressed. WaW, BO and BO2 had decent stories but that was it, AW seems to be the first one in a while where they care. 

 

COD isn't my cup of tea. It is for MANY people. Just a fact of life. COD is as relevant to perpetuating the gaming industry as any other game. 

Money first games? What, games are about making you feel warm and fuzzy? Games exist to make money first always. No self respecting company puts out a game to not make money. 

 

1 hate and anger go hand in had...you want people to get "warm and fuzzy" over something they hate?

2 there is a big diferance between making money from a game and money first approch....skyrim springs to mind

So same shitty game as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year... No wait, mw2 was the last good one

That's interesting. I've seen people say Black Ops was the last good one. I've seen people say MW2 was the last good one. I've seen people say WaW was the last good one. I've seen people say COD4 was the last good one... It seems to me which ever COD happens to be ~2 years old is the "last good one".

[Almercenary]

And their is that damn 6gb minimum

People have different opinions

[Curiously Flamboyant Sheep]

Either they will be releasing new versions of consoles with 1-2tb hard drives that gamers have to buy for they're growing collection...Or the next generation of consoles are around the corner 0.o. Or game devs are slacking off and ruining the industry, Looking at you UBISOFT!!!!

 

The new XB1 bundle has a 1TB hard drive and I believe an upcoming PS4 refresh will give a 1TB hard drive as well.

[Rassilon]

Except Kevin Spacey's dead horse eyes lol!

Most of the characters during the CGI sequences look like they're made out of wax/plastic, there's some really awkward moments. Wouldn't say it's that amazing.

Also i'd prefer in-engine cutscenes. I still think that the CGI we've seen in the trailers won't be in the game.

Its a lot better than any other games in-game cgi

Steam does not have an option to have different games on different storage devices.

 

Yes it does.

I'm waiting for TB's say on this. With Samsung's 3.2 TB ssds coming to the market soon, will games like this even be an issue in the future?

[Commander Llama]

Well there is always this sort of arms race between hard drive capacities and "Can I install all 300 of my games at once? :D"...

 

But I think if there's any issue to be had with enormous downloads such as 55GB, it's for people with restricted Internet speeds and/or bandwidth caps.  I pay out the ass for my Internet and that's 20% of my monthly bandwidth for one download.  Lots of folks I know only have 60GB/month caps, too.

With 5tb hdd's being so cheap I don't see how this is a big deal.

"Cheap" That hard drive almost costs as much as my graphics card.

2tb for 50 dollars.

My Pentium G3258 @ 4.5GhZ (hopefully) and my 770 will handle it fine. Shame I can't be arsed to download 50GB of shite

[TroubleKlef]

So glad to be done with the shitfest that was called Ghosts. Infinity Ward really is the worst CoD developer.

[Vedge]

at least this time they are honest about their "next gen engine" judging fro the minimum specs. It seems I can make it run on my microwave (or a smart TV)

[Hendeka]

Unless you have something of substance to say then stay quiet? Or do you want to be childish and throw round ad hominem?

 

In order for Steam games to function, they have to be in the SteamApps folder which is inside the Steam directory which means if i installed Steam on my SSD along with some games, there's no way for me to install a game outside of that, on my HDD.

 

Most if not many gamers buy SSDs for their OS and their main games, then use their HDD for general storage purpose and maybe some other games.

After a quick Google search, Steam has had the ability to install across multiple locations on multiple storage devices for MORE THAN 2 years now.

Steam even asks where you want to save your game every time you install something from Steam.

 

For every new location you install a game from Steam, it just creates a new /steamapps/ folder in the directory.

 

Instead of being ignorant, please do some research before you claim to know what you are talking about.

[Mindtrickz]

Steam does not have an option to have different games on different storage devices.

 

That feature has been in Steam for a couple of years now.

 

I, like you, have an SSD, but unlike you i choose to store my games on my HDD. A few seconds of loading time does not make a difference.

 

[Cyroclipse]

Steam does not have an option to have different games on different storage devices.

Actually it does. When you're installing a game you can choose where you want to install the game.

At the same time there are programs like "Steam Mover" that help you with moving Steam games to other partitions.

[OlekKing]

7 people replied to me with the same bullshit about the Steam installation options, did you bother to look that i've been corrected two times and acknowledged it?

If you think me being wrong about something undermines my ability to say anything then please go ahead and piss off.

[matin94]

6gb ram, but nvidia 450 will do.... k then, its ghost all over again

[Psykomantis00]

Did you just completely forget that many if not most of us use SSDs? And they're not cheap enough yet to get multiple 1Tb drives...

Apart from that, this kind of size wears down on the drives quickly...

Hey look at this, slick agrees with me. 1:26:00 around there.

Huh?

First of all why are you appealing to authority?

Secondly...he's talking about AC:U's system requirements there...

[SpaceCore]

I'm more concerned for the minimum RAM than the storage space.

I'm sure they won't let you install it on anything lower than 6GBs of RAM.

I'm also sure it can run fine with 4GBs of RAM.

 

ehh...

[Misanthrope]

Genuine reaction: "Call of Duty for the PC? They still make those? Huh...."

Chances are that the game won't start up if you don't have 6GB
