The Clip if you’ve never seen it before.

Recently I’ve been archive my PS3 library of games, and I just finished backing up MGS4. Normally a third party PS3 game is between 7-12GB, however MGS4 is 33GB. To play MGS4 on a 360 you’d need like 4-5 DVD’s depending on how they compressed it.

Didn’t realize how large games were back even a decade ago.

    The original Baldur’s Gate was 5 cds and an additional cd for Tales from the Sword Coast. With all the open world travel that meant a lot of disc switching.

    The most obnoxious bit about all that was that you had 6 cds to potentially scratch that might prevent you from playing the whole game.

      When I was getting into PC gaming, I bought Wolfenstein the new Order as a DVD. What it turned out to be was Wolfenstein the new order… on steam, with several DVDs (4-8) that had the games data. I installed it this way once and never again.
