So yea the title basically. I enjoy gaming but I do not understand the technical side of how it works I geuss.

I just dont understand how a game like Elden Ring which is a MASSIVE world with tons and tons of content, bonkers graphical detail, and even a DLC which is almost an entirely second game is only 91.1 GB total.

Yet when I went to download Overwatch. I expected it to be maybe I dont know 40-50GB at most? Its basically a dozen maps, 30 characters, and a battle pass with cartoon graphics. Yet somehow it's 91.7GB? Literally more memory than both Elden Ring and its DLC combined?

And I know Overwatch isn't anywhere near a big offender. I have heard people's complaints with CoD so many times for memory nuking their console.

But yea why is it like this though? Just seems so backwards to me. Games with next to no Content like Halo Infinite Multiplayer for example requiring 71GB... for what? To load 20 maps and weapons with a Character model?

Meanwhile you have another game like Hogwarts Legacy. Massive world, insane graphical detail, infinite assets to load, entire skill trees, pools of items, inventory systems, cutscenes, npcs, dialogs, etc etc etc.... and it requires 61GB.

Am I lost? I dont understand why these very simplistic games take an arm and a leg from our consoles memory.

Probably only like a 6-7/10 but I'll take it! Ive been waiting so long for this!!!

Probably like a 6-7/10 at best but my god will I take it. Been waiting toooooo long for this moment!

I started doing this recently with my buddy. Not sharing EX's, have been doing that for awhile obviously, but specifically Dragons. We share a Dragonite EX back and fourth daily.

Just figure my as well. This is my account at 20k and you can see how behind on Dragon pulls it is. If you are a completionist and would like to someday finish all of these trophies it will help a lot.

You could really do the same for stadiums/tools/items as well but you will get way less dust overall so not worth it on those imo.

Just figure if you are already doing it anyways. Which let's be honest most of us are for dust. My as well get a small little extra benefit at the same time.

It's not a big deal or a huge game changer, but something small that will add up over time. Over a couple of months thats a few hundred extra Dragons towards the trophy. I mean I have 297 at 20k playing for a year and a half. You need 1k to finish. If we continue at this rate it would take me about another 3 1/2 years to finish this! 🤣

So yea small little hack. Hope some of you appreciate it.
