Seems to be a lottery at the moment. Ive been on since Tuesday. But i know others are still having problems. Im not on at the moment because for some reason none of the missions or activities will load, same for all my friends.

A very good read.. he explains how everything works, and why it dosnt work.

meanwhile (playing on ps3) I was able to get level 14, the online part is so awesome the more I play the more I want it.. and with friends its 10 times more fun...

but all those lodings and freezes.. cant they just give us a hint a message.. online is offline, try later... and thats it, instead it gives 20 types of errors and freezing time to time.. and I cant understand why I am the host every time.. and no one joins.. it takes too much time to find people.. on and on...

I've not had much problems getting on with the 360 version and currently rank 32. The only problem I've had is spending money on an apartment only for it not to show it as bought the next time I logged in.

Regardless of whether they should have had the server capacity issues sorted for launch, for me, it's obvious they should have released it as an open beta to help iron the bugs out instead of doing a full release while openly admitting we should expect problems.

fattyuk3858d ago

Sorry but i hate all this moaning.

It'll all be up and running smoothly at some point.

Rockstar even said before online was released that it wouldnt be a smooth journey.

As for the whole I've bought a product that doesn't work... what aload of bollox.

GarrusVakarian3858d ago (Edited 3858d ago )

Its a frustrating situation because on the one hand we waited two weeks for something that doesn't work 100%....but on the other they told us to anticipate these problems before release.

Just find something else to do while R* fix this. People are acting like their lives depend on playing GTAO. Mine stopped working a few hours ago....so i turned my PS3 off and did something else.....like came to N4G :p

@Piper

Yeah.....which is STILL something OTHER than play GTAO, unless commenting on articles is the same as playing a videogame? Your argument fails.

l still love the game,it's amazing

Gorilla_Killa_X3857d ago

Agreed, after 3 tries I was able to get race to load up and haven't looked back since. Got a garage and an elergy and am working my way up to affording a house.

Stsonic3858d ago (Edited 3858d ago )

I would understand if it was a massive mmo with hundreds of players in each area but this is 16 players in a lobby so why all the bugs?

Anyway I tried once and failed. Will probably try again in a month or so when it's all fixed up.

Thatlalala3857d ago

Agree. Can sit in any popular wow city lag free, but can't even find one person to do a two to four player mission.... Fucking joke.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno34d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist41d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist40d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
