Damn dude. You only have ~200GB of storage space? Upgrade your HDD/SSD, for real. I don't even review games for a living and I have 2.5TB. I can definitely fit both games. And then some.
This artificial battle of the VASTLY DIFFERENT STYLE RPGs is fucking bizarre and just a made up issue to get clicks, I swear to Christ.
Starfield has ssd listed as "required". Even if it runs from a HDD it might be horrible, like with No Man's Sky.
Eh, With games like these a 1TB M2 SSD is kinda required to have, I have one and I'm wanting to have two already tbh.
When it comes to cheap ssds M2 barely has an advantage over SATA, not in any practical sense anyway.
A 2TB SSD can be had for like £100. I even put one in my PS5.
Just got another Crucial one for the wife's PC. Was like £95, but that is PCI-E 4.0 rather than the Evo 970's PCI-E 3.0.
Won't make a jot of difference for what she does, but nice to have it in case gaming actually uses that extra speed in the future. I don't even think most PS5 games make use of the extra speed right now. Certainly nothing that shows up in loading benchmarks, but I suspect when it does show itself it will be from single frame hitches where it's loading things on the fly.
