Need to delete 3 games to install COD?
Stop defending unoptimized bloatware.
Devs used to be wizards. Iwata's custom compression algorithm fit the ENTIRE previous Pokémon map onto the same cartridge.
Today? Devs just throw raw audio and 4K textures at your SSD

*(launch file sizes)
The original Super Mario Bros could fit inside a single 4K texture file of a rock in modern COD over 1,000 times.
Are high-res textures naturally larger? Yes. But that's only half the story. The real reasons your SSD is crying:
1. Crunch Culture:
Optimization takes time. When publishers rush releases, file compression is the first thing cut.
2. Duplicated Assets:
Some games still duplicate identical files hundreds of times to speed up loading (outdated trick from the spinning hard drive era)
3. Leftover "Junk" Files:
Scrapped levels and unused assets are often left in the final code because deleting them risks breaking other parts of the game.
4. Audio Bloat & Orphaned Assets:
Forcing players to download uncompressed 4K cutscenes and uncompressed audio files for 12 different languages they will never use.
Optimization is a lost art. We should stop normalizing 200GB games.

@GermanStrands @SerezhkaF1 so about as long as an average saints row game, not bad

been playing bo7 in my free time
& I hate to break it to my COD boys but this isn't a bad COD. Way better than BO6 and I dare say better than MW3
& that's kind of problematic.
The fact this is one of the worst selling games of the franchise when it isn't even bad is very telling when it comes to the public opinion of this IP. It's a clear signal that they've lost alot of the faith of their consumers and players are moving on
Very VERY deep hole Activision has dug themselves into that's going to be very hard to crawl out of. MW4 gonna have to hit hard

I miss pewpew games But feels like nothing out there really interests me anymore in that entire genre & my favorite franchises are a dumpster fire now. COD looks unplayable, Xbox pretends Halo doesn't exist and extractions have just never really done it for me Makes me kinda sad.

Tell me why bo3 a game from 2016 looks milesss better than any recent cod

@Kuriaki_Hen @Maximus_g_420 @pcgamer you don't even have a blue checkmark you're just being a retard for the love of game I respect that
English

@Uzis__ @Maximus_g_420 @pcgamer I'm not one who had to wait years to play a game from 2001 on a PC, nor do I consider myself a technology nerd because they've ported a 25-year-old code.

@ThourCS2 I think the new animations look like shit. He’s literally skipping over fucking four sets of stairs. What the fuck?
English

@Kuriaki_Hen @Maximus_g_420 @pcgamer are you shit posting or are you actually this slow?
native means you can run the game code locally on your machine without emulation
English

@Maximus_g_420 @pcgamer You can't talk about running a game "natively" if you're not using the hardware it was designed for. No PC has the Emotion Engine installed, so calling this emulation "native" only exists in your imagination 🤡

@factpostnews too busy fighting wars that didn't need to happen rather than aide his own citizens, and also economically destroying his country and the rest of the world in the process, thanks trump. 👍 very cool
