I once bought a small tube of toothpaste for travel. I didn’t really check what was allowed by the airport, I just bought what looked small enough. I arrived at the airport, went through security, traveled to my destination and used the toothpaste during the week I was away.

When I was set to return my toothpaste was flagged at the airport. It was “too big”. I of course argued with the TSA agent that I had flown into this exact airport a week before with MORE toothpaste in the container than it had in it now. Of course there is no logic. Into the bin my mostly new toothpaste went.

I looked it up, since I wasn’t sure, it looks like online launched about two weeks after the single player game. But it also was console exclusive for two years. When it came out for PC is when it actually began to catch my attention, and it launched on PC as both GTA5 and Online.

So that’s probably where my confusion came from. I already hadn’t played GTA4 so it wasn’t high on my list to investigate further.

It’s funny I looked into GTA4 and GTA5 support on the Steam Deck. GTA4 says playable and online reviews say it works well. GTA5 says unsupported but online reviews say it also works great, but you can’t play it online. So both are options for me.

The stories and single player is definitely what interests me, so maybe someday.

No, but also I was never going to buy GTA6.

I loved GTA3, Vice City & San Andreas. Played for hundreds of hours. I played GTA4 for a few hours but it never really clicked the same. I also played Saints Row 2 and Saints Row 3, which I really enjoyed and scratched that same itch (those games eventually went a little over the top, but I still had fun.)

When GTA5 came out all I ever heard about it was it being “online” which turned me off of the series completely. I think I later understood that there is a single player component and an online component, but by then I didn’t really care.

If anything I’m likely to try revisiting GTA4 this year. Maybe.

Sometimes it’s best to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. They made a different dark plate later on that was different enough, they’ll do the same thing here. We’ll see “Friendly Cube” before the year is over.

Plus huge marketing win. They probably got a bunch of new users to visit their website and saw a huge uptick in overall sales.

GTA5 on Steam says it requires 105GB. It’s not unreasonable to think that GTA6 would take more than 128GB.

Of course with compression (at the cost of longer load times) and/or lower quality textures, I would bet you could make it fit.

I also seem to recall some disk based games in the past containing a subset of the full game. Although at that point you don’t really “win” by having it on disk of isn’t the full game.

Or you could do multiple disks.

This thread is terrible, the obvious answer is surfing.
