No way that game has enough content or is complex enough to justify 135GB. What it is is unoptimized crap. And since storage keeps getting cheaper studios have no incentive to fix it.
There’s 1TB SATA SSDs for $35 at my local best buy.
You think it’s just full of empty bits thay added in for fun to inflate it? Yeah sure, optimisation could be better and there’s no excuse foe not trying, but at the end of the day, if you have 130GB worth of assets, then there’s little you can do to shrink it. Those textures, audio files etc can only be compressed so far.
I had horrible framerate/stuttering with raytracing enabled so i refunded it… waste of 135gb download
For me it has been running just fine with 7900XTX on a 4k TV all settings on Epic. Stutters only occur occasionally in a few places. I only started playing it a week ago though so there might have been some patches.
I guess as long as the game runs on your NASA super computer it’s everbody else’s fault, right?
Personally I believe in the Dachsjäger gospel. If that dude says it does have issues, then it has issues.
