How Has GTA Online Progressed Since Launch?

EGMR writes: "GTA Online was an exciting proposition when Grand Theft Auto V launched on the 17th of September 2013 — a multiplayer mode which would allow several players (up to 16 on PS3/X360) to explore the same city and wreak chaos together, do missions and take part in various other activities.

Two weeks later, when the online mode finally launched, it was in a state of disarray. Players all over the world were complaining about connectivity errors, missions glitched or failed to progress properly, and the game was missing several core features.

I have never played a single match of anything online on any GTA game. Is it just goofing around or is it worth it to play? Compare it to some other online game and tell me if it's any good.

My standards are pretty high and my free time is so rare I don't want to dick around playing sub par games so tell me if GTA is any good online.

It's really fun with friends, I have ps4 version if you need a friend add me. Seanscythe

GTA V is so much fun online. Especially the Heists /s

ZombieKiller3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

It depends really on if you play with the right people or not. I've been playing it online since launch and it's been an absolute blast.

They say the game is glitchy, people are a-holes running around killing everyone, and that some lobbies are a nightmare.

Thing is, I've never seen any of that apart from a few glitches all because I have a crew of about 20 people who I know in real life. Almost every night we sign in, fire up a private match and do whatever we want. GTA is excellent online if you have a crew of creative people that like to have fun and you play in a private match.

As for the tard waiting for heists so impatiently.....don't you have Assasin's Creed Unity to play? Sorry, Rockstar likes to complete games before they release them.

getting into missions is shit,u spend half your time looking at a loading screen and reinviting people,if u just drive around u have fun and no loading,but its not streamless missions like in story.

Game is really fun especially with friends. That being said im more than often put off by the experience due to connecting to servers. Its hot or miss as far as dumping me right into a game or taking forever to find one.

Sometimes I am having fun playing Destiny or something. Then everyone wants to play GTA. We start the game up and it just feels like you have to jump through hurdles to get into a game.

Doesn't happen all the time but enough to make me hesitant to switch over to it and break the flow of whatever game we are playing.

Fun game for single player. But online is boring it dull and boring. It was fun in beginning now it not fun.where heist ?

dreamed3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

On x1 its a disconnection nightmare,on 360 it works fine,for me anyway

yezz3808d ago

It's great but matchmaking is super poor.

This was my experience yesterday when I wanted to join a race with my friend.

- Because there are no proper search options for lobbies I have to join a random race and it takes a lot of time to get a good one.

- When I finally got into a good one, the lobby was already full and it launched before my friend could join. GTA doesn't take your friends with you, it just sends them automatic invites, which enables this stupid situation...

- So then I have to quit the race, wait for the game to load me into a random lobby where I have to quit into the single player to create a new crew session!

- All that hassle just to try the race search again! It's ridiculous.

The game has an incredible amount of good content but the lack of search options is ruining the experience.

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_cheese41d ago

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

DarXyde41d ago

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

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d 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.

anast41d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake41d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow141d 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.

MDTunkown49d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8549d ago

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

MDTunkown49d 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.

andy8548d ago (Edited 48d 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

InUrFoxHole48d ago

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

generic-user-name49d 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.

anast48d ago

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

repsahj48d ago

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