GTAV without Updates

johndoe99

I've been playing GTAV (PS3) since it was released and have achieved 100% and was considering backing up my current saves.

Then uninstall the game/updates/saves etc. Disconnect from broadband and reinstall the game. Because the PS3 is not connected to broadband I should not be prompted for updates.

I want to do this to play the game as it was released, obviously there will be glitches and maybe the game at some point may be unplayable. But I just want to see if there are certain parts Rockstar may have altered, such as locations are even dialogue etc. Been curious about this for a few years.

Have anybody tried this I wonder, tried google but no luck. Im sure there are GTAV game owners that don't have an internet connection. Anybody on Boards tried this?

How will you know?

Your logic is sound it should function as you intend, dont see the point myself.

Could just pick up a cheap PS3 and put it on that and still have the updated version to confirm any changes you thjink might have occured.

I'm sure there's probably lists somewhere of all the changes Rockstar have made to the game (these things never go unnoticed by fans even if they're not in an official list). Like dreamers75 says, your logic is probably sound and it should work, but it's a lot of effort even considering how little such changes may have been that you may never even notice them playing through again.

I'm curious if they took anything out, as if i remember correctly on release day there was a big update.

I understand what you're saying, I just don't understand the point

Don't leave any cars you care about at your safehouse garages.
I remember mods coming off or them dissappearing altogether being a problem they patched after a few weeks when it first released.

I'm just going through my book looking at what I had to do for 100% completion, and then checking online to see if there were any glitches in these areas that needed patches. Good so far.

I would explain why, but I don't have the time or the crayons.
