Ever wonder if you are building yourself up for disappointment?
Single play will be pathetically small. Itās all been online play for years(itās very profitable).

It has for Rockstar sure, the map certainly wonāt be pathetically small I can assure you that.
Just saying that online is their market now, so the single player modes content normally suffers. Seen it happen with lots of games. On the plus side, the game lasts for years(I still sometimes go online on battlefield 4, after god knows how many years and thereās still a huge selection of servers).

Everything Iāve seen and read, and the whispers Iāve heard from people closer to it, say this is absolutely not the case.
Hope you are right, but i havenāt seen a game yet that has gone big on online content and not diminished single player content, compared to pre online. Admittedly I donāt buy a huge amount of games, so maybe not true across the board.
What is this to you? (that sounds pointed, itās not.)
I reckon itāll easily be 50 - 60 hours worth of play. The game world is huge, the amount of wild life in the game is insane (200 species, more than Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, Far Cry 5, Red Dead Redemption, and Grand Theft Auto V combined).
Even GTA V, which seems to be your gripe, had a massive single player mode. Granted, the story was probably one of the weakest in the series, but I donāt really think it was affected by the online (which came later iirc).
I do get your point, there is often a focus on Online (I do get why, it makes sense from a business/development stand) to the detriment of single player. And I do share that frustration, as Iām not really an online player. My dalliance with Fortnite was very brief. But I really donāt think that will be the case here.
Am curious to see what they do with their online, the co-op stuff in the original was interesting, but perhaps not quite fully realised. Iām really intrigued to see if they include a Battle Royale mode at some point. Thatās a trend that doesnāt seem to be going anywhere fast - what with games like COD even adding BR modes now. Granted, Iāll still probably barely touch it.
Need to get Zelda finished first 
50-60 hours is very good. No complaints if thatās the case. Battlefield(was my main game) destroyed single player(about 4 hours) and seen similar in others and put it down to the DLC market.
Never played GTA(any,), so no, thatās not what iām aiming at. It could be that i like first person shooters and they seem to be about online only now and online demands your time(canāt pause), so i donāt play much anymore.
Cheers for your little write up, itās doubled my chances of buying it.

Seems fair. Never really been a big Battlefield or FPS person myself, theyāve never really been my thing (plus Iām crap at them), but I have certainly seen that trend. Apologies for the misinterpretation re: GTA, I still think RDR2 will have a substantial single player campaign though. I may be wrong, but from what I can tell, it still seems like a traditional single-player game with bolted on multiplayer.
Eeek! Maybe wait for release, and read some reviews or find out some more details on it. You should be able to find out a rough idea of how much content there is, and probably swerve some of those pesky release bugs! I wouldnāt want you to base it solely on me!
Donāt worry, i only said doubled, so iām going to see what people on here and general reviews say before i decide.

He talks utter bollocks, it may not be the biggest map no just cause 3 but itāll be bigger than GTA and itāll have so so much to do in it and thats the key.
