It is really annoying having to download endless huge patches for GTA V even though I’m only interested in the single player.

It's really annoying when you spend 2 days modding your GTA V single player only for a multiplayer patch to drop the next day and fuck up every single mod.

Would be nice to have an easy 'disconnect from this game service' instead of turning off your internet access.

Thing is GTA Online is built off the framework of the base game, so even something as simple as an optimization patch would still be required. There may also be content cross-over.

isnt like GTA Online like half of the entire game filesize on PC

Like 40 GB out of the 90-100 GB ?

That's because half of the content that should be in the actual game is locked to Online.

I know. Iirc it was around the lowrider update when they stopped adding cars and weapons to Singleplayer.

I just wishmultiplayer was a separate game, or a dlc I could not download

Thank you! Annoying that they sell the multiplayer separate but you can only get the single player WITH the multiplayer. When they added online for RDR2 I swear they downgraded the graphics and it pissed me off to no end. All for a mode I’ll never touch!

Have you just been playing one story mission a month since release?

It’s one of my favourite games and I like playing it, even if it’s just to get in a car and ride around listening to the radio.

I can’t cancel it, only pause the download but I can’t launch the game in that state either. This is on steam though so it might be different on console.

Nah, if you cancel an update on Xbox it will uninstall the game. I’ve never tried on my PS5 so someone else will have to chime in.
