25 GB is a lot in 2012? Seriously?
That sucks but if you know that, then dont buy DD games that are 25GB?
I install all my games on a 120GB SSD.25 GB is a lot in 2012? Seriously?

not everyone has Blu drives and Blu discs are more expensive to make. DVD is cheaper and you only need to install once.
only for guys with monthly bandwidth caps on their ISP.
Though, afaik are only the cutscenes between the levels pre-rendered. So video shouldn't take that much up90% of the game is cut scenes so that makes sense
Not everyone lives in an amazing internet provided area, and some places will cost a fortune monthly for top end speeds.
which is to say, a shit-ton of people.
Just keep in mind it's Rockstar Social Club, not Steamworks. (Though even the Steam version is more of a hybrid with much of the back-end being done through RSC).25GB is indeed enormous, especially for people who still don't have fast internet or people who live under data caps. How is anyone in Australia even able to buy Max Payne 3 on Steam? I live in the US but 25GB is at least a six-hour download for me. Since this was mostly because of the quality of the assets, maybe they should give people a choice between a standard quality and high-quality version.
This is precisely why I bought the retail PC version of RAGE (which is 22GB) and why I'll probably get the retail PC version of MP3 if I ever find it on sale.
me included. thanks Comcast

Most people have monthly internet quotas they need to keep an eye on.

actually... not right now you don't.

until they figure out the details of the new proposed cap, the 250 gig cap has been lifted.
It's about 30GB on Steam. Seems a lot for something I finished in 8 hours, 2-3 probably just for watching the endless amounts of cutscenes in the game.
It matters to them because potential customers on limited bandwidth cap and rate might not buy the game.And this matters to the devs how?
That kinda is pathetic. Download 30 GBs for 6 hours of game. Oof.It's about 30GB on Steam. Seems a lot for something I finished in 8 hours, 2-3 probably just for watching the endless amounts of cutscenes in the game.

I dont get the problem [people have with large game downloads] unless you have to download to an SSD.
So it takes a day or so to get it. Then you get a better quality experience with no compression. The world is not ending tomorrow. Play it then.
If the "gimme gimme naow naow" ADD people whine enough to cause a decrease in asset quality, I'll be pissed.
Just checked it's size on Amazon.com. It's actually 26.52 GB. 50 GB games download future, here we come!
But you can still buy the boxed version.It matters to them because potential customers on limited bandwidth cap and rate might not buy the game.
Then buy it at retail.
I like the smell of master race superiority in here. Why should folks, who at no fault of their own, be forced to walk to brick and mortar store, buy the boxed copy and pay taxes? Why can't they also sit in their air conditioned room (it's 102F outside, by the way), download and whine about the download time like the rest of us?But you can still buy the boxed version.

Retail PC games arent as easy to get as a console game. Especially if they're not very popular. Even if they are, they're not always available, I had to buy Arkham City and Skyrim from Steam since i couldnt find them.
not everyone has Blu drives and Blu discs are more expensive to make. DVD is cheaper and you only need to install once.
Blu-ray drives aren't exactly expensive anymore. Hell you can get a burner for under 100 now. If someone is playing a modern PC game like Max Payne 3 I don't see why they wouldn't have one.
A novel idea since the game consumes too much space.they should just youtube stream the cutscenes
also: #CutscenesLOL
that's true but DVD drives are the most common and R* doesn't need to deal with complaints if people find out it's not compatible with their drives.
Then I would tell those people to move
Meh, people switched from CD to DVD fine for games. I guess in a few years when games are commonly hitting 40GB we'll finally make the switch.
if Blu drives are included with every new PC as a standard, it won't be an issue anymore. Too bad some manufacturers won't commit to keep costs low
And what's stopping you from picking your own parts? Cheaper and you won't even necessarily have to do the assembly yourself if you don't want to (tho anyone who's played with legos can do it).
