Should glitching and exploiting in GTA 5 be tolerated?

GameZone writes, "With the latest Grand Theft Auto 5 title update, Rockstar Games cracked down on cheaters in GTA Online, the game's online multiplayer portion. The battle between the developer and glitchers/exploiters has raged on since the October launch of the mode. With each exploit and glitch found, Rockstar has attempted to take counter-measures to prevent more players from doing so, but to no avail. Now the big question is, should Rockstar just accept glitching and exploiting in Grand Theft Auto Online?"

this should not be tolerated. It ruins the game for others that want to play the game the way the devs intended. This should all be patched or the cheaters banned.

You mean by r* wanting you to buy 100 mill through micro transactions not through some exploit made by their incompetence. Jeez the logic with some people.

vishmarx4186d ago

Agreed.
r* wanted a broken game when they added microtransactions.
hackers made everyone a billionare.guess were even now.
normally i dont support this stuff.and i know that this woulve happened even without the microtransactions ever existing.
but now they have an excuse/a reason ,and you gave it to them.

Joe9134186d ago

I do not understand why ppl have such a big deal with micro-transactions they did not make it to where you do not get much money when you do missions the only time you would buy money is if you may have bought something big and want something else other than that just grind through the missions you would have to do that if they did not put MT in the game anyway what it is a bunch of lazy ppl who want something for nothing you want a bunch of money by doing a mission that pays good over and over and over just move on you may get more money next missions IDK what game ppl are playing but I get around $6,000 a mission and instead of trying to milk a mission for money just move on you can milk survivor for money if that is what you are into as far as cheaters don't care as long as they leave me alone but they are the ppl who go around screwing with ppl who are trying to grind and get money so I would not like to be in the same room as those ppl I care more about lvl up my character than money because it is so easy to get can make $100,000 a night so why cry about MT.

SirBradders4186d ago (Edited 4186d ago )

@Joe microtransactions are the reasons why games require 100 of hours of investment replaying the same thing over and over and over again.
For a £40 game there should be no micro transactions and if there are they should be 1. Extremely cheap 2.not enable pay to win 3. No nerf the game as to take months to grind.
I don't agree with cheating in some shapes or forms but gaming is even starting to reflect whats wrong in society where the rich have all the power.

You also contradict yourself in your comment buddy.

brbobcat4186d ago

No different than players boosting through microtransactions.

dericb114186d ago

They just insult us with the lowering of money and RP. Why are they going so far to force players into playing forever. I stopped playing it. Just to much time spent on one game for me.

Ozmoses4186d ago

You don't HAVE to play it.. There are other games out there that offer good multiplayer experiences and don't rob you.

ziggurcat4186d ago

There's a huge difference, actually. You're cheating when you're exploiting.

DeadRabbits4186d ago

Tolerated as much as a broken game!

SpiralTear4186d ago

Has glitching and exploiting in competitive online games ever been worth tolerating? Of course not.

MrFit4186d ago

I still play it and enjoy it, but I mostly only play with a group of friends now.
It does suck playing someone 20 levels below me that has a fully jacked up car and all the available weapon mods because he has unlimited funds.
one guy just kept calling air strikes and sending mercenaries after everyone because he doesn't have to worry about money.
I really don't know how Rockstar can take back the money without hurting innocent players, but I hope they find a way to do it.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese46d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde46d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast46d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake45d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow145d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown53d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8553d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown53d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8553d ago (Edited 53d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole52d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name53d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast53d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj53d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
