Still doesn't work beyond Lamar dropping you off. The second you try to do that first race, issues arise once again.

UnholyLight4274d ago

I sat there for two hours lol.

meanwhile I get notifications about one of my friends posting world record times for missions and races

:/ I shoulda expected it but I REALLY WANNA PLAY

UrbanBullet4274d ago

When I hit Start and highlight the online tab it tells me "Your profile does not have the correct permissions the access Xbox live functionality"? can someone help me out here.

Cuzzo634274d ago

You probably have silver and not gold

Jack_Of_All_Blades4274d ago

I don't want a taste ********! I want the whole gawd damn pie!

How did Rockstar not anticipate this....they should of prepared better

LOGICWINS4274d ago

They DID anticipate this. They said this was going to happen. This is what they wanted. They need to see how everything runs when the servers are packed. They expected the game to crash for most people. Now they will make the make the proper adjustments.

-Foxtrot4274d ago

Wouldn't of been better to have a beta then so when it finally comes out all of us don't have to suffer after we've been waiting for it for ages

Audiggity4274d ago

@ -Foxtrot

Unfortunately, no beta test can emulate the sheer volume of server bandwidth that they are facing. They don't want to "overbuy" servers just to make sure this is smooth on Day 1, they want to make it as efficient as possible. Not necessarily to avoid buying servers/bandwidth, but in order to ensure stability no matter what kind of hardware is behind it.

There's only so much they can do. If we had to pay a monthly fee for GTA Online, then I could understand the frustration - but, this was 100% expected and is being dealt with properly.

LOGICWINS4274d ago (Edited 4274d ago )

Suffer after waiting for ages? You make it sound like you've been waiting for a new kidney for the past year and a half. Consider yourself lucky that GTA Online will be offered for FREE. Considering its an ever expanding world starting with 700+ missions (with more to come), Rockstar could have EASILY charged $10 so people could access the online aspect.

We didnt even know GTA Online existed a month and a half ago. I dont understand how uve been "waiting for ages".

You people are a bunch of impatient whiners. Is your life THAT devoid of any other activity that you NEED to play the most ambitious online suite ever attempted on consoles just a few hours after it launches? After four years, the community on N4G continues to amaze me.

JackStraw4274d ago

no beta test can emulate that? uh, that's the point of a beta. one of the biggest reasons for having betas for online games these days it to test servers. no excuses.

HammadTheBeast4274d ago

GTA O is part of the $60 purchase. I highly doubt the 700 missions are all different and varied, there's probably around 100 different ones.

They knew they would get tons of people playing, some preparation would've been nice.

Wow. It was a simple comment, bro. No need to be an a**hole about it...

tethered4274d ago

@-Foxtrot

This could be considered the beta.

yep, they def. anticipated this, as was stated by r* multiple times.

jessupj4274d ago

*in gandalf's stern voice*

"FORESEEN AND DONE NOTHING!"

3-4-54274d ago

They knew this was going to happen and warned us like 4-5 days ago. Nobody listened though, I guess people don't read as much as they used to.

SeanScythe4274d ago

They were to busy swimming in the Billion+ $$ they made on the game. Then someone from the online team walked in and said "Hey the online for GTA5 is going live in 5 mins. Hope you guys remembered to buy the extra servers we needed over the last two weeks."

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_cheese29d ago

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

DarXyde29d ago

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

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d 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.

anast29d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake29d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow128d 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.

MDTunkown36d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8536d ago

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

MDTunkown36d 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.

andy8536d ago (Edited 36d 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

InUrFoxHole35d ago

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

generic-user-name36d 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.

anast36d ago

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

repsahj36d ago

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

GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos49d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto49d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba49d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz48d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u48d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Chard48d ago

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
