[QUOTE=Hovering Sheep][QUOTE=andrew]Must be bored to think that way. Gamecube disks held too little information and multiple disks were often needed. [/QUOTE]
Often? How many games needed multiple discs?
[/QUOTE]
Often is here taken to mean something like 5 games out of 600+. It is much the same way that Hailey's Comet comes through here very often.

I remember when I first played Eternal Darkness, I just couldn't get over how they could put this seemingly huge game onto such a tiny disc. I mean it had some really long cut-scenes, and what at the time at least seemed like a set of huge environments. The answer of course was that the developers used A LOT of compression for those cut-scenes.
I admit that I dug those discs. It was a silly thing to like about a system, but there are a lot of silly things I liked about the Gamecube, like it's small and compact size, like some kind of space age toy. Of course, there were plenty of things I liked about it that weren't so silly too, like its compact size.

I remember when Twilight Princess was rumoured to be on 2 or 3 discs......
HAH! I guess they left all of the voice acting, the ambitious CG cutscenes and the orchestrated music on the cutting room floor.
Seriously, I think we can say that the 'limited' storage space on GC discs was overated.
