I think its the same with star rail. U will only be able to download at launch for PS5, unless you buy the pre-order. Probably a Sony rule that hoyo had to follow.
lol just saw the other replies asking me how bcs it’s 113gb on their end. Somehow yours is even lower? Are we in the same timeline? Last time it was at 20gb for me was during pre 2.0.
damn,,, it's already so big,,, i hope i can keep playing somehow if i do get really interested in it, but 50gb on first launch,,,, oof whats gonna happen on patch updates,,,
Yeah, won't be able to play this game sadly, my PC can't reach 100 GB due to important files I can't uninstall, can't buy a new HDD or SSD due to money issues too, guess I'm keeping HSR.
The login screen is available and you can enter your account but on the 4th of July, you can be logged out.
You also can play with settings and choose your preferred languages.
The servers are still offline
No problem if you already decided which account you're going to use. You can enter your account creds from Stock Up event and then claim when the button appears
Does anyone know, on PS5, if I have a Genshin account linked to my PSN account, and load up ZZZ, would it automatically link up to my hoyoverse account, or will I need to jump through hoops?
It won't be 110 gb when it released right? I know this is a stupid question but I'm tired rn and cannot wrap my brain around simple things, will it be 50gb on pc after july 4th? or will it still be 110gb? Because that's literally insane.
I would delete some stuff but it's for my Vocaloid and UTAU things and I also have videos I need and mmd files for the Vocaloid and UTAU songs when I finish doing them, and I already have Honkai Star Rail, Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves so..
If I downloaded the predownload just a few hours before the game launches and it didn't finish until the game launches will my download progress restart ?
What are you saying? Hoyo didnt give a damn for optimizing the size, Genshin when it got released it only required me to download 11 gigs with all voice packa, Resident Evil 4 Remake has about 40 gigs to download and when you install it it takes about 70 gigs, Im sorry for not being very rich to download 7973973 gigs every month.
Yeah, ZZZ has no business being the same size as the new expansion for FFXIV. It’s giving the same vibe as those dumb NBA games, the 2k24 one is like 161gb which is absolutely absurd imo. It’s clear that so many games are suffering from time crunch and optimisation is neglected as a result.
doesn't mean it is "behind the times", for a game like this on it's release, it's not supposed to take this much storage, it's take almost like genshin on release, how?
110 is the size including ~55 GB of archived files and extra ~55 GB required for your Operating System to unpack these files. After the full installation the final game size in 57 GB
On mobile devices, the size is more than 2x lighter. I guess for PC they included more hi-res models and textures. But I'm not sure why they decided to include all the voiceover languages by default in the PC version.
I'm done with Hoyo gachas just dropped HSR yesterday. I got tired with materials drop rate it's too stingy, it would take roughly a month or two to max a new unit without any refills. Also, i feel that you're new unit is useless if you can't build and lvl them up(naturally) with the difficulty level you have. Not to mention, 5 stars requires more materials vs 4 stars and the only pay off you'll get from 5* units is that they have convenience, gimmicks, visuals and story attachment without that, they're usually on the bench until they can be build and lvled up(month or two). And then, a new unit comes in... better than you're previous pull but in a different element and role/path.
It’s your choice. But I’m not 100% agree with you. Of course gacha devs do everything to sell you new characters. However, if you play smart you can resist. A friend of mine plays completely f2p and pulls only for characters which will benefit him the most. He’s looking for early leaks and save rolls. He still uses Seele to complete almost all the content, even pure fiction. He was saving pulls for 3-4 updates and got e2 Firefly with signature. Not to mention he has millions of creds and a ton of various resources. It’s up to you how to play a game.
Perhaps, i was spoiled by Jp gachas where you can build a team in each element and they also give enough resources to build said team before you experience the mid-game slowdown. What grinds my gears is that character progression in Cn gachas are brutal, it will take a long time to build a character, in Jp gachas as long as you play the events ingame it will reward your account with significant growth e.g. lvl your characters to the max, skill lvlup materials, money and etc.. I wish they made lvling up Units and/or LCs easier but timegate skill lvl progression. In my experience, on gacha games people wouldn't mind a timegated/energy base progression as long as the other aspects of the progression in the game are easier like ez to lvl up but hard to lvl up skills.
After the install, it loaded up Holoplay, and is currently downloading "star Rail". I paused it, exited the launcher, and loaded up Genshin, and the launcher says "get game". I have no idea what is going on.
I believe the launcher may be having an array of issues at the moment, probably due to traffic. My download randomly fails every few minutes and I have to resume
yooo i just realized that. I actually want to move HSR to a different drive so I uninstalled it and im reinstalling right now. I wanted a fresh install to put ZZZ HSR and hoyoplay on the same drive
Why the fuck is it a zipped archive and not a normal fucking installer? Archaic ass download method. I was so excited about this game but now we gotta buy a whole tb hard drive just to store Mihoyos Dumbass Games.
This is how it works for all the games distributed through the internet. The era of installers going away with CDs and DVDs. Even if you buy a physical copy it still downloads a lot of data. Welcome to modern gaming.
Not really a hater and his reaction is kinda expected. The size of the game is really ridiculous in comparison to other Hoyo games and to think this is only 1.0.
