Maybe not on max setting but I think you'll be more than able to play it.

 

Maybe, but I need a new card anyway, so this motivates me.

Who's the developer of this game?

 

On another note, 18GB is absolutely nuts. Sims 2 Ultimate Collection was less than that, and think of all of the programming that goes in to that!

Sims 2 the base game is also a 10 year old game.  How about if you want to compare to sims you compare to current version.  Sim 4 which takes 9gb

 

Any way this is not the day in age of small hard drives.  you can get a 1tb hard drive for desktop pc for about $50 dollars. 

 

here the thing programing takes little hard drive space but use more cpu or gpu.    

 

Also keep in mine Em5 Deluxe which is the game with 18gb hard drive requirement comes with 4 Different city maps.

Now that i think about it 18gb does sound kinda large for this game. To put that in perspective, GTA IV was only about 13 gb on the PC. GTA V is only about 16gb on the PS3/360. Watchdogs is about 13 gb on the PC as well.

 

Now GTA V on the PS4 is rumored to be about 50gb (If you can believe that). 

 

 

And for reference Emergency 4 deluxe edition was less than 2gb. 

 

 

So either that number is greatly inflated, or because of higher quality textures and larger maps the game will be much larger in size. 

 

To go from form less to 2gb to 18gb is hard to believe, but if thats true than Em 5 should be a vast improvement.

Em 5 should be a vast improvement. 

 

Or a vast disappointment, depending on the the way you want to see that.

Again comparing hard drive size of this game to older game is not logical. Gtaiv is an old game. As is comparing it to game that out on older generation console.

Heck by that logic. I should be able to say it big because I remeber games that would fit on floppy. Heck I remeber how you could fit several games on floppy and where luckily if you had a 18 go hard drive.
