master race gamers, how do you manage your storage space
| By not playing modern AAA games.
Even if I did, I have 6 months rule, in which if a large game is not being played for more than 6 months, it should be moved to external HDD or be uninstalled.
| > By not playing modern AAA trash garbage junk
This.
| A couple terabytes of space should be the norm for a gaming rig right about now, no? If you really have troubles with it then try writing a list of what you'll want to play in the near future, while everything outside of that list goes on hold until you've cleared some space.
| I was constantly struggling with space so I finally splurged on a 4tb HDD for all downloads and low priority games and a 1tb ssd for games that I want to load faster and I play a bunch.

> 6 months rule
this sounds sensible. I don't really wanna splurge on extra storage for the sole reason that had I gotten a console instead I probably wouldn't need to spend on a drive since the game come with its own storage with their purchase (for physical games)
| 2TB HDD.
I'm not really sold on ssd's.
| >>612870 faster loading speeds
well it's more like, once you tried it HDD speed feels like torture
so you shouldn't. good for you
| >>612723 but with consoles, you'll be most likely spend extra 10-15$ per game (assuming you buy games on steam sale and you play AAA games); Not to mention the online subscription. just dish out 10$ per AAA games that you buy and you'll get enough for 4TB external drive once you hit you 10th game.
Disclaimer, I don't live in the US, so idk the price range of 4TB external drive. I managed to buy one at around 100$ in my country.
| Only download the games you will actually ever play. 60 percent of my steam library isn't installed.
| >>613020 not her, but sometimes they are just so cheap that you ended up buying games that:
A. You only have slight interest in
B. You think you'll play later
I bought phantom brave because it is from the same dev and look similar to disgaea and ended up not playing it because I haven't finished disgaea 2.
| >>613029 well, it's all about personal goal. Most people's end game in disgaea 1 is to beat baal, but mine was to get a rank 40 weapon and max it. At that point, I could technically do NG+ (because I was in etna mode) and beat baal, but I was too lazy to do that.
With disgaea 2, my personal goal is to step my foot on land of carnage (which I have done in Disgaea 2 PS2 but not in PC)

AAA games are shit. Why are you even playing them in the first place? There are very few AAA games worth playing, you should have no problem sparing a few hundred gigs to the worthwhile games. If you're struggling to get below 300 gigs, then you're playing the wrong AAA games.

>There are very few AAA games worth playing
you say that like I play fallout 76 or something. you don't know what games I'm playing lol
| >>613301
AAA is shit, my opinion is right
M8, that ain't helping, you're just showing your transcended tastes gamer cock to everyone, and it ain't impressing anyone
| Op buy like 2tb hdd, they're like 60 so you miss one AAA game and it's paid for
Or pay like $120 and get a 1tb ssd and enjoy never being slow
| >>613385
I think I'll just get the fastest 4TB hdd I can get. I'm a hoarder so data piles up really fast and 1TB won't do it. SSDs should stay as a boot drive until they are more reasonably priced.
| >>613396 dude I'm become a data Horder too but I'm also broke let me know if you find some good cheap dives with or without shucking
