How much of a dress up simulator is GTAV? Or a car paint job simulator? Wondering if the huge install size is worth it to mess around in increasingly quirky load outs.

What are the odds they'd just release GTA Online as a free standalone game?

A good poster posted:What are the odds they'd just release GTA Online as a free standalone game? If they were going to do that they'd have done it by now I figure, might as well get that initial buy-in money.

A good poster posted:What are the odds they'd just release GTA Online as a free standalone game? Why bother now? They are giving away GTA Online bundled with the single player game here free. The complete deal. So why later on make GTA Online free, without the single player portion. I think for most people, the single player part gets you hooked and makes you play the online part. So it's more profitable to pack the solo part in with the multi, just to increase engagement.

You could just download someone elses 100% save if you just want a sandbox with everything unlocked though: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/100-save-game

Requirements on Steam for GTA V say "72 GB available space". The site is already getting hammered it seems. I just got an error message and when I refreshed it was the same error but now in Chinese

Fuzz posted:Liberty and Vice City Stories were free at some point too. I always wanted to play these but I've never owned a Sony console and they were exclusive, and the PSP emulator I found never worked well. Artelier posted:How much of a dress up simulator is GTAV?

You can do all those things but the single player doesn't have all the cool cars they added to the online. And rockstar hosed the prices of things online after cheaters started dropping money on the last gen consoles. I think there are mods or trainers that let you get the online only cars in single player.

It's the online premium version, so chances are everyone who already owns it is claiming it to get the free GTA Online money. I remember someone saying a while back that's why it sells so well, because buying the game over again when it's on sale is a better way of getting GTAO money than buying Shark cards.

For real, smurf accounts in most online games are kinda sad, but Overwatch smurf accounts are something else when you remember they had to buy the game again.
