The longer load times would be due to the amount of time wasted by the PS4's calculator CPU decompressing the files, not the time spent reading the files from the SSD. File reading will also likely be bottlenecked overall by the PS4's CPU to not be able to take full advantage of an SSD.

Judgmenl 11/26/18 6:26:08 AM #33:	Largest two games I have are HITMAN (69GB) and DOOM (70GB). I think this is more of an issue that modern action / shooting games are bloated as hell with lots of uncompressed audio and video for 20 different languages that you will never use. Comparatively a game like Dragon Quest XI is only 31GB and Divinity: Original Sin 2 is 54GB and they both came out in the past year. I have a 500GB SSD for gaming but I don't download more than a couple of games at any time. My new GPU came with Battlefield V but I don't play these types of games so I am giving it to a friend. I think that 50GB is reasonable, as we've had that as a standard for a while now, but I think that 4k textures and those 27 different languages should be optional downloads as many people do not use them. --- Judge, Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

This means HUGE install sizes.. and the benefit to players like us is not having to wait 30 seconds to a minute for an area to load after you already boot up the game and wait that initial loading session. Except that most of these 50+GB games also have some of the longest loading times of the generation.

_AdjI_ 11/26/18 3:34:05 PM #41:	faramir77 posted... I just bought the digital version of Smash Ultimate the other day. It's only 13.6GB. Though the Switch's internal storage is so small that even after archiving literally everything on the system except Monster Hunter (which I'm currently playing and therefore don't really want to archive just yet), I still don't have room to download Smash. I'm gonna have to either throw an SD card in there (which was an inevitability, really) or archive MH the night of the 6th to make room for the download. DPsx7 posted...

Sure you need to install it but keeping that hard copy on disc means you can dodge excessive DL times and keep the HDD as a 'workspace' rather than straight up storage. Any game that tried to read over 100 GB directly from a disc would run absolutely terribly due to how slow optical drives are. Most physical games still require large installs these days because of that.
