Problems with Online Multiplayer

"Recently, there have been issues with games and their online multiplayer functionality. The launch of SimCity was a very bad one, and Grand Theft Auto 5 has also had some issues. The difference between these two games and their issues was that while one wouldn’t let you play with people online, the other would not let you play the game at all. Multiplayer downtime is never a good thing for a game, but if there is something the players can do while the multiplayer is down, then the downtime is not as bad." - Zack Cowan @GamerFitNation

I know out the gate GTA had issues

fredolopez3856d ago

Some games just aren't the same without online.

sinclaircrown3856d ago

Online gaming will always suffer problems. Some from the start, some down the line.

BLACKBIBLE3856d ago

Yeah that true. Heck I couldn't get online with GTA at all at 1st.

i think the only real loss is GTAV

OtterX12h ago

I think everyone and their sister owns the game by now. They likely want to squeeze the rest of the holdouts before GTAVI releases.

That game comes and goes from subscriptions so frequently I think it's expected now. Like rdr2 on gamepass Rockstar Games only last a max of 3 months On a service

MrBaskerville6h ago

Talos Principle is the real loss.

indivisible was pretty neat. Cute artstyle, fun throwback to older RPGs, shame its leaving but it is on sale often

shinoff218310h ago

Definitely. I e joyed what I played of it. Still gotta grab the physical at some point

Petebloodyonion12h ago

I'm not surprised by GTA V removal, Rockstar never allows this game to stay long on a subscription service.
They usually allow 4 to 6 months.

lodossrage11h ago

Yeah, they do that routinely with both GTA and Red Dead.

But it's because they know they can still sell them so they take them off and on to these sub services in cycle.

The weird thing to me is why is anyone still buying those games at this point? You would think after 3 generations of being sold GTA 5 that everyone and their momma would have it by now

RNTody10h ago

I fail to see how the loss of an almost 11 year old game that released across 3 generations is in any way a problem.
