That's actually low. For comparison the latest Call of Duty is upwards of 100GB install size.

Final Fantasy VII is a playstation game on 3 dvds. The remake is splitting it up into three individual games. Part 1 is a tad over 100 GB, part 2 is a tad over 150 GB, so we're at over 250 GB for 2/3rds of the original game. I'm sure part 3 is going to be at least another 150 GB, if not more.

Games have gotten insanely huge.

CD-ROMs, not DVDs, so roughly 650 MB per disc

This memory monopoly is ridiculous! I have maybe 20 free gigs left on my computer. There has to be something really amazing about COD if I’m ever gonna buy a new PC for it.
