How in the absolute fuck is it even possible for a game to be 300gigs AND need you to stream the textures? How could anyone think streaming textures from a fucking server would be beneficial for literally any person or purpose?

Peggle 2 any good? Or should I just stick with the original?

Damn I miss PopCap games, before everything ruined by fucking EA.

Not sure, just have Peggle Deluxe and Nights… the mobile app is micro transaction BS so I’m avoiding it.

oh, you’re not talking about the mobile app? Can you still buy it on PC? How about MacOS?

I rate it. The original is the classic but 2 is more of the same for the most part.

Is the title really true? 300GB?!

Yes, but it’s misleading. Since CoD has a new launcher, that 300 GB includes MW2, MW3, and BO6, and each game can be downloaded separately. Since the games share a significant amount of code and assets, doing it this way actually saves space.

the recent mw2 was ridiculously rife with hackers, i watched a friend play and every killcam had obvious aimbot locking on through walls. cross-platform gaming was a mistake, pc players deserve their virtual gulag. also i can’t even fit 300gb on my internal drive, unless it was the only game installed.

That’s why they’re inflating the size like that, because they want to occupy as much space as possible and be as much of a pain to reinstall as possible so people get rid of their competitors and keep them around forever instead. It’s a toxic competitive adaptation that’s been getting progressively worse over the past decade or so since the strategy has worked out for them so far.
