>a game that's all about hijacking cars
>the game punishes you for doing so
no soul
you could write ten blogposts about the flaws of online, but I'd say this summarizes everything up nicely
Everything went right for Rockstar
It went wrong for the player when they wanted it to be a Lifestyle simulater rather than just an open world online sandbox you randomly fuck around in like GTA IV.
If you have a group of friends GTA V Online can be extremely fun but never play alone as it isn't worth it.
greed, the same problem rdr2 online has, but GTAO is fun as long as you can separate the missions from the PVP at will by using the solo lobby tricks
Without the solo lobby tricks I can't imagine ever actually being able to complete some of these missions with other people constantly trying to blow you up, the advantage to disadvantage ratio is completely stacked in favor of your attacker
>unbalanced weapons/vehicles
>weaponized vehicles with little to no cooldown
>broken “economy”
>literally a game from 2013 trying to run on 8th gen consoles
>idiot devs
>"it's fun with friends"
gee, I'm sure that hasn't been said about an online game before
they needed a Naval update with a pirate ship, a battleship, or an aircraft carrier.
the aircraft carrier is already in the game ffs
>online
It's in the name.
>tfw nothing was as fun as jumping in a bus together and activating the swing set glitch in IV
>No game mode came close to original cops and robbers
>They did the exact same things to make RDR2 online just as unfun
>base game about breaking the law
>breaking the law in online gives you bad boy points
>hacked 1 bill into account
im the outlaw now rockstar

>"Looks like you're gonna have to pay a 10,000$ insurance + tip! Here's some bad sport points too because fuck you for defending yourself!"
I think the point of no return was when they added hovercars and hoverbikes
At least the first flying bike was somewhat hard to control
The whole game was designed to push you to spend real money at every turn with shark card advertisements everywhere. I swear they made the AI for npc drivers in the online mode worse just to make you spend more money on repairs. Also, it should have had a dedicated PvP lobby that let you fight other players all over the map, with minimal interference, like the original red dead online.
not on PC lmaoooooooo
jews
>invest in warehouse and shit because Im bored and want to do some missions to make money
>There are hardly any options to do anything solo and most missions pretty much require more than 2 people
>autokick people who make too much money too quickly because they must be hacking
>hackers autospawn bags of cash over random players head and they get kicked out
all the people that whined about it being horrible played it all the time and spent money on it anyway
In the base game the police attack you if you break the law and punish you. I don't see how it's any different
Isn't breaking the law the point?
Online you not only get punished by magic cops but also by bad boy points.
>need friend to have fun
Gee, i wonder why vidya hate it so much...
vehicles. if gtao didn't have oppressors/apc/hunter/hydra or any of the op weaponized vehicles it'd be playable but you can't really do anything without 6 oppressor mk2 chasing you around.
I know it’s online, but if you don’t have friends to play with, you can barely do anything worthwhile. And unless you get yourself into a solo lobby good luck getting anything done without getting blown to shit by the nearest rocket-mounted vehicle that someone has.
>run a criminal empire with your friends!!!!
>cant do any of that in a private lobby
>cant grow your business along side your friends
>cant pay your friends for their help
>cant even do heists with friends because god help you if you need a random to fill a non doomsday slot
>public lobby filled with AP sniper/orbital strike/ruiner missile spam
The only enjoyment one can extract from this dumpster fire is fishing for people with the cargo bob or dog fighting in the dive bomber since almost no one can hit that with AP rounds
>engine is garbage and barely works
>no way to stop modders on PC
>willfully add stuff like Oppressor II with no cooldowns which gives cheap greifing opportunity to shitters
Buy your own Armoured Kurumas you stupid fucks, then you won't get killed will you?
