Nobody compresses or optimizes their storage anymore because fuck us thats why.

GPU direct storage (or whatever the specific implementation is called). The GPUs can directly access the NVME storage bus, bypassing the CPU. But in order to better do that, the storage better be uncompressed to reduce latency on the GPU.

Preload is up on steam, DL size is 135.8 GB.

I chalk the size up to the fact they pretty much remade AC: Infinity for the multiplayer mode. Like the Emergency sorties are pretty much the raids from Infinity 1:1.
On top of a campaign of similar size to AC7.

The real issue is that we have to download a buncha uncompressed 4k+ textures for the high graphics options.
 
The complete lack of multiplayer review stuff is always worrisome but I am sure the japs will nickel and dime us for waifu skins for our planes of all the latest vtubers or whatever.

PvPvE at least sounds neat, so you can farm NPC planes when not getting brutally skullfucked by chinese plane autists.

PvE having 'two teams of 4 compete for the highest score' sounds like a very weird way to set up PvE but I guess it helps give some competition stakes to the maps without 'making someone feel bad' since its still a team of 4 effort. But it does sound pretty cool with limited time boss fight sorties and stuff.

I just hope new planes aren't a 70 hour grind, which surely they will be.

ACF dedicated a section of his review to Online and he said that the menu was obtrusive and there's premium currency but the mode as a whole was incredibly fun

Still haven't gotten mine yet, I assumed the code would on a paper voucher for those who preordered the joker flight pack like me.

I ordered via the EU store for Oceania, I read online that support for the US store was giving conflicting answers on whether it would be an email or a physical code. Still no update on the status of the Flight Pack on my end either.

literally any grind is better than war thunder.
 
I checked the review and also watched the intro sequence and it really feels like a mix from first glance: the HUD looks like AC 7, then we have the "press button to x" from AC Assault Horizon, They also brought the Yes-No dialogue "wheel" from AC 5 back. From the review the downsides are slight performance issues and story pacing (ok, story in AC is usually more window dressing then tear jerking emotional master pieces)
