I haven't gamed since like 2006... (ps2, san adreas)
Got a laptop that is capable of running GTA V, so I'm like "sick, been wanting to try that chit" (yes, I'm late AF lol)
1. downloaded game (took about 10 hours)
2. couldn't install game because the download took up too much space so didn't have enough room to now install it
3. tried moving the game to 256gb flash drive
4. rockstar games didn't recognize file after I moved it and re-downloaded entire game (took about 20 hours the second time LOL)
5. installed game to flash drive because the game attempted to download a third time when I tried to install it to my C: drive from the flash drive
6. game finally installed
7. started to play the game and it crashed after about 5 minutes
8. I clicked "verify game" to check for corrupt files
9. rockstar is now re-downloading some 3gb patch for the detected corrupt files
what in the fuk
It's been like 4 days total now between me sleeping, working, downloading, patching, updating, moving files.
Is this what life is? my PS2 from 2006 was easily a hundred times easier and more intuitive.
You need to be borderline I.T. professional just to load a game

I get it, but the fact rockstar failed to inform me I actually need double the space in order to install my game is laughable. Then their software couldn't even detect my download.
then it immediately crashed and needed to be updated.
this is way worse than just "ur laptop isn't robust enough"Spoiler alert; you die at the end.

Sounds about right for online downloads.
I just started a GTA V replay (beat it around 2015) and it still holds up pretty well. Online is a waste of time IMO unless you are a no-lifer. So many hackers and sweaties.ωσяℓ∂ тяανєℓєя ȼяєω

If its a Windows 10 computer you would be surprised how much you can clean up to save space.
Between uninstalling that festering mess in the start menu that came preinstalled and that you will never use and the mountain of crap Windows keeps around 'just in case' you can clear up multiple GB of space.

pretty sure that's mainly the fault of rockstar. their games are a HUGE pain in the ****ing ass. brb trying to stream in my living room and god damned rockstar launcher needs permissions so i have to go into the ****ing room with the pc in it to click out of that ****.

10 hours to download? Do you have government handout internet? Wtf
Did you not check game size against your storage? I’m thinking not because the original download failed.
It’s not just PC games doing this patching GB’s worth of crap either. Console gamers who pick up the 500GB versions can only install 4 or 5 AAA titles due to the sizes.Lurking since '05 - the days of VS gorilla/cloud/goku threads

There are literally only 2 I would use for something like this, I use both for all kinds of stuff and they are exceptional.
