GamR Mag Writes: "It came as no surprise to most of us that are familiar with online gaming that Grand Theft Auto Online would experience some hiccups early in its life cycle. Rockstar Games had never experienced such a massive amount of sales, and certainly had never undergone such an undertaking in the online gaming market, so it is understandable that the online portion of Grand Theft Auto would suffer early on."
The street-level action is heating up, so dive headfirst into the chaos of Freemode Challenges and Events — all of which are paying out Double Rewards.
Rockstar Games will be conducting one-to-one discussions regarding its live service game, GTA Online, with a select number of players.
@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.
Rockstar Games is permanently banning players for using an account duplication exploit in GTA V's multiplayer component, GTA Online.
Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?
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.
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.
@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.
I'd give it a bit lower than this. It is tons of fun but it feels empty and during jobs you are still in a lobby with a timer ticking down. It is like they are wasting the open world somewhat. I'm sure things will improve but they need to do it fast.
Honestly wish they didn't make it. Single Player could have been twice as detailed if they focused solely on that. Not that i'm not impressed with the detail already, but there are still a lot of little things missing that IV and San Andreas had that should have been in the game.
My biggest grief is that each race is defaulted with the "catch up" setting set to on. The catch up setting allows those in last place a special boost to catch up to the leaders. Nothing like having an amazing race, and then some dufus come and pit manouvers you, putting you several places behind, all of this near the finish.
