I'm not really surprised.  Most games are big now.
Because developers are stupid.
Or because it's the natural progression of things, I remember when 2MB was enough storage for all my save data
Yeah, no.
The new consoles are using blu-ray CDs, which have more storage capacity.
Devs are just like "lol fuck it" and just whacking everything on the disc because they don't have to bother as much when compressing the data because of the extra space.

Almost always, with moderation
#consoleproblems

COD Ghosts was like, 40gb IIRC
FF XIII is 60 gigs
I don't understand this, does most of it go to the open world area?

Or because the size of games is actually increasing, like how HQ textures take up more data than those at sub-HD for example

Again, nope.
PC games from years ago look better than 8th gen games, and they aren't ridiculous sizes. Crysis 3 is about 20gb on PC, and that looks better than any 8th gen game.

Devs are being lazy.

Yes. They're just preparing it ready for the 29th.

This isn't a difficult thing to understand.

Never thought I would agree with Lemon on anything but he is right. Games are increasing in size because developers are losing the desire to work on actually making file sizes not ridiculous. I have a 2TB HDD so I'm fine but it is irritating how often devs now refuse to compress files to a reasonable size. Not all compression causes loss of quality if done right.
