Grand Theft Auto V PC

[srnewbie]

GTA V and Online.

Don't watch the videos. Try it yourself.

Wanna play GTA:Online with no friends? See if you'll still like it. Have friends? Well, you might like it.

Ever heard about more-than-500-days delayed Heist as a feature that basically was advertised in the release trailer but never been in the game? Ever heard about constant disconnections, trivial loading leading to error, and such? Ever heard about modders raining down huge objects in your garage and in the middle of city? Ever heard of modders killing the whole lobby with auto-explosion on everybody's character? Ever heard of asshole keeps griefing you no matter in Free Mode or Mission? Ever heard of the inflated price, but super shit payout out of terminator-tier difficulty enemies in missions? Ever heard of Rockstar hotfixing money making glitch within 24 hours while leaving money breaking glitch for months? Ever heard of Rockstar taking down every possible way to grind money legitimately, even by breaking mission design and leave possible intentional bugs to fail the mission? I bet not. That's only a few problems, btw. There are more to it.

That's why I hope Saints Row don't go GTA Online way. Especially starting to sell money and separate Online world from Single Player. That's when you gonna see money-hunger shit.

Other than that, GTA Online has innovative design - in a hipster way. Meaning it looks different, but killing effectiveness of the features inside.

GTAO is not perfect but atleast Rockstar tried to do something different, unlike Volition who are just releasing rushed and recycled stuff like SR4 and Gat out of Hell..

GTAO has issues but with your crew or friends it's lot of fun.. It's quite different compared to other big open multiplayer games.. Rockstar is constantly releasing free content updates for GTAO, they have not charged anything for any of the GTA Online content updates whereas SR steam store page is full 2-3$ DLC crap...All Outfit and other updates are free in GTAO..

And Exploits and Glitches are in every multiplayer game..GTAO is no different

Ever heard of asshole keeps griefing you no matter in Free Mode or Mission

It's fuckin GTA.. What do you expect? Los Santos is dangerous place both in story mode and multiplayer..Be careful and Be smart. ..I was level 100 player in GTAO and nobody was able to mess with me....

As far as Heists are concerned, yes, they fucked up big time there...But, hey Volition also promised complete SDK pack for SR3 and 4 and they havn't released anything except Weapon SDK... Plus they can't even get their damn website fixed..lol


One more thing - Heist update for GTAO will be free and it will launch with release of PC version.

I'm not paying $70 for a game that's almost two years old now, and has been delayed 3 or 4 times already. Eat a dick Rockstar, no one should expect quality from their PC ports at this point.

If you wanna try, wait for reviews or get a second hand.

I won't recommend you to buy a new copy, tbh.

Heist update MUST be free. It was advertised in the release trailer.

Anyway, those Updates rockstar given to us are cut contents. And well, as long as you don't confuse Update with Dlc, you don't need to feel thankful for content updates. Because that's what MMORPG and Mobile games been doing. Selling money while keep updating their game assets. The difference is that they are not desperate like rockstar in terms of money and rockstar always name their updates, then people start pissing in their pants and call them as Dlc, and thus become "free dlc"...

Gosh.. I pity them. Have they ever played another games that gives extended content through game version update...

I would, but it comes out in March so that's impossible at the moment. I'm not going to bother with the PS3/X360 console peasant version.

As for assholes in the game, that is in almost every single online game ever made. I don't think there is a single online game that doesn't have trolls playing to mess with others. This is not GTAs fault. Neither is the "terminator-tier" difficulty in missions. Difficulty is highly dependent on the skill of the player. I have played racing games where amateurs have taken weeks trying to beat a single challenge but always go over the time limit, whereas I beat the challenge on the first try with lots of time to spare. Hotfixing money making glitches while leaving others? You mean they fix some but not others? Perhaps it just takes longer to fix some issues, while others are easier/spotted faster. Again, not an issue with GTA. As for the whole removing ways to legitimately grind money, I can't say anything about that since I haven't owned GTA V, but I doubt there are NO ways to make money in the game.

By the way, this is PC, how would I get a copy used/secondhand?

Good that the team which ported Max Payne 3 is porting GTA V.
Max Payne 3 was very smooth.

Hotfixing money making glitches while leaving others?

As literal as I wrote about it. Hotfixing money making glitches can be done as fast as within 1 hour to 24 hours. While if there are money breaking bug, like losing your car and such, can be ignored for 2 or 3 months. Yes they know about this. This always become a sore to players and there were players emailing them and they said they were aware about this issue.

As for the whole removing ways to legitimately grind money, I can't say anything about that since I haven't owned GTA V, but I doubt there are NO ways to make money in the game.

Not completely removed. But they were taking down numerous way in making money, although payout is always real shit. They like it if you waste time on race and deathmatches because those are paying even worthless, especially for the losing sides. But as soon as there are favorite missions which pay slightly better and thus players are sharing the best way in completing it, it's either the mission will be removed/deleted, payout nerfed, buffed the enemies in nonsensical way (like popping up behind you and one-shot kill you, etc), or redesigned it in non strategic way which leaves (new) players in confusion and eventually failed the mission.

There are reason why we call them "terminator-tier" enemies. There are reasons why we call NPC car as "bulldozing" car. There are reasons why we call NPC car as "cheater". There are reasons why we call the streets have "homing traffic". I can tell you why .

Since you can't get pre-owned copy. Then I'd suggest you to start GTA Online first before GTA V. Why? Because GTA V is a well-balanced game just like previous GTA. As for the quality of the port, I'm sure it will be great. Maybe I can say 9/10 will be good.

About Heist feature. This has become a joke to us, except rabid fanboys of course, because it's a 'talk-only-no-action' feature that was promised, re-promised, but never come. There's even a site dedicated to this; counting how long GTA Online has been launched yet heist isn't there yet despite of the promises. http://aretheheiststhereyet.com/

This is the timeline about Heist:
- 2013, early: Rockstar said GTA V is PS3/X360 exclusive. No PS4/X1 and PC version.
- 2013, 2 weeks before 17 Sept/GTA V release: GTA Online release trailer launched. Saying "you can form a crew and tackle a heist" - showing a group raiding a bank
- 2013, 1 October: GTA Online started. Heist feature is not there. It was said they were focusing on fixing the current bugs and will be coming as the first update after it.
- 2013, November: GTA Online got its first update called Beach Bum Update. No Heist and Rockstar said Heist coming at the end of the year.
- 2013, December: Rockstar said Heist will be coming early 2014
- 2014, January: Rockstar said Heist will be coming as part of Spring Update as well as Single Player story dlc in the late 2014
- 2014, June (End of Spring): Rockstar said they can't deliver Heist and more info soon in a few weeks or so
- 2014, August: Rockstar said there will be PS4/X1 port this November and PC port at late January
- 2014, November: PS4/X1 port released. Rockstar said the first update after PS4/X1 port will be Heist Update
- 2014, December: First update coming, but not Heist Update. No Single player Story DLC either. Rockstar said Heist Update coming early 2015.
- 2015, January: Rockstar release Heist Update trailer. PC port was delayed to March and said Heist Update will be released ahead of PC version. PC version will be coming with Heist Update installed
- 2015, March: Wanna fill in based on the pattern here?

Delayed heists don't bother me because I'm a PC gamer lol.

The delay for PC doesn't bother me either. I have no shortage of games to play while waiting for GTA V.

It seems most of these issues are for console people.

Anyway, those Updates rockstar given to us are cut contents. And well, as long as you don't confuse Update with Dlc, you don't need to feel thankful for content updates.

Atleast they are not charging for it...All of their outfit and costume updates for GTA Online are free whereas Volition charges for everything. Volition even charge for fucking cheat codes pack..lol..Can you believe it? lol.. Rockstar will only charge you for big story DLCs.. According to Rockstar - GTA V story DLC will be bigger than GTA 4 episodes from Liberty City..It will be like a massive expansion pack..

And about cutting content - GTA V story mode offers more gameplay value than both SR3, 4 and GOOH combined...It took me over 150 hours to complete everything in GTA V story mode..Unlike other devs, Rockstar take their time with their games, they don't recycle stuff from their old games like Volition did with SR4 and GOOH..

I don't mind if they removed few outfits from GTA Online...I have no problem with that coz they are not charging me for those outfits like Volition...
