Grand Theft Auto - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[X Pac Heat]

The threat of being a "Bad Sport" never stopped anyone from being a jackass in Free Roam Deathmatch lobbies anyway. The fine for blowing up someone's car is paltry.

The secret was that you put all of your cash onto your secondary character (not in the bank)

That way, there was no penalty for blowing up other peoples property at all. IIRC this was also a trick to get around paying for damage in Import/Export at one point.

Until the latest Heist update, none of the updates had done anything to expand upon the map since 2013

Isn't the new island so damn linear/scripted and restricted it might as well not even be considered an expansion but just another mission space like all of the heist interiors?

 

[Megaroad 2012]

My one experience playing online after enjoying solo game was spending forever getting it going, and then being killed pretty much as soon as I spawned. Repeatedly.

 

[Cod of War]

Can I get a tl;dr of why GTAV online is trash?

Rockstar are assholes and wants to force co-op on everyone but at the same time encourage everyone to fuck each other over.
Delivery Theft Auto
Long loading (9th gen is free from that)
Never-ending grind
Griefer tools (MKII Oppressor/Orbital Cannon/etc)
Forcing to you drive all over the map (Need a bike for the casino heist, game send my ass to Paleto Bay
Shark cards
Aimbot AI that can put a bullet between your eyes when blind firing with a pistol from over 2 blocks away.

R* does shit that waste your time or annoy you. They have NPCs bombard your phone telling you buy shit, NPC complain at you for not doing their stupid activities, NPC begging you to their terrible missions. Unskippable cutscenes, constantly replaying mission dialogue, NPCs constantly rushing you doing missions (Lester during the Doomsday heist takes the fucking cake for that). Unskippable calls (having a shootout and English Dave calls? well get fucked).

Pretty much, and it doesn't help that it's so poorly optimized for Xbox One & PS4.

For all the attention Rockstar gives it, it's amazing how lackluster Online really is.

because they gives it attention, not effort since no one wants to challenge them

 

[The Last Stand]

Heaven forbid you do an Import/Export mission and the game literally screws you as you're trying to deliver cars across the map.

Or get stuck in a loop where aimbot AI kills you as you spawn.

or you need to source car by CargoBob (you surely know why)

Early on, the car could randomly fall off the hook.

There was also the tendency for the game to glitch and think you were pulling lobby timeout tricks and just blow the fucking car up even when you weren't doing anything goofy.

to make a game on the scale of GTA and not be as lazy as them when it comes to dealing with stuff you'd probably need some computer cooled by a river or something is downright insane.
no one wants to challenge them because people will just stick at GTAO already due to sunken cost.

now people are resorting to use CE so they can hack the game into making a public solo lobby or doing the complicated version of it, which begs the question: if you are already hacking the fucking game why bother with the grind?
also, funny take:

> glitching
> legit
PICK ONE, RETARD.

Complicated version of it? Couldn't you just fiddle with router settings on console and on PC just make an outbound rule in Windows Defender Advance settings?

I haven't played in over a year so have they finally found a way to stop it?

 

[The Last Stand]

I miss when GTA would take jabs at GTA clones back in the day.

Their main target was the Driver series.

Did they not test this shit? No game this successful should have something so fundamentally broken.

Driv3r had Timmy Vermicelli. A nod to the fact that Tommy Vercetti can't swim, hence the water wings.

Good one, Reflections. Tanner can't drive, walk, or swim to save his life.

he can get in coma tough.

 

[JamesFargo]

he can get in a coma though.

Next coma, I want a yacht! I want deep sea fishing and a god damn yacht!

There is a haircut that has been glitched since at least 2016, whenever the Bikers update came out I believe. (it was my haircut so I remember)

But yeah, I don't think they test it much. That's the players job. I know some Rockstar knob slobbers claimed the exploding I/E car was intentional. They made the claim I referenced about it being a timeout punishment, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm pretty sure it never blew up whenever I did a timeout trick with it, but would occasionally blow up when I was just playing normal. They still might have been correct that was the intention but Rockstar certainly fucked it up if it was.

I thought using CE nowadays got you insta-bant. Last time I did anything with CE was back when modding tunables to win absurd race payouts was a thing.

You wouldn't have so many people hacking the game if the grind wasn't so soul-crushing. Making the various payouts actually worth a fuck would go a long way towards fixing the shit.

Then there would be another problem: San Andreas would be full of people with those P2W toys. Balance in GTA Online was already fucked up after Gunrunning, it's getting worse from there.

They REALLY need to make the AI fair.

 

[X Pac Heat]

Balance was always fucked up in GTA Online. The tank was originally a fucking monster that could take maybe dozens of RPG hits, and anyone who just wanted to royally fuck up anyones fun had one from the start thanks to billion dollar bounties and the fact getting to level 80 wasn't hard at all.

Not to mention, it was never that hard to steal a fighter jet and just lay waste to the city. The homing launcher has never been good against the jet fighter, and the homing launcher didn't even come out until the PS4/Xbox One versions launched.

It's really a wonder anyone tries to play legit since the moment the game released there were assholes just blowing you the fuck up out of nowhere. IDK how anyone expected to do business deals and such 2 years later. Even with a crew it's some bullshit.
