iS ONLINE FREE ROAM NOT BORING

[el-cobra]

If online free roam just involves going about the map killing people or whatever with no purpose or goal then what is the point it would get boring rather quickly i would rather play death matches that have purpose of ranking up and competing towards a goal

[Saintdestroyer]

Who said it would be?

[ugotsmoked]

To each his own but I enjoy going into FM, finding the bully and making them rage/quit. I have enjoyed this since day one, and enjoy it to this day.

[SIRHC13]

I'm pretty sure there will be more the GTA Online than dicking around in free mode.

 

Which is still incredibly fun.

[Markowins]

well if there actually going to have a multiplayer gameplay video, im thinking there is more to multiplayer now then to just free roam or them deathmatch games

[sasuke78200]

Do you think they will give a unique name for the multiplayer, release gameplay video and online preview for a freeroam mode ?

 

 

 

For sure it will be more than a freeroam mode, I really think (and i'm not alone here) it will be a MMO.

[GTAFanatic81]

Im sure even if free mode is just doing whatever there will be people who make up stuff to make things interesting like car clubs/racing, get togethers airport arsery like in IV just so much you can imagine doing.

Well RDR's free roam fixed all the stuff which made GTA IV's boring. So I expect the same this time around.

Yeah i am hoping it is like Red Dead Redemption Free roam, I can see free roam having icons for activities and games - For example you go to the golf course and invite players to your game, this will put you into a golf match against players separate from whats happening in Free Roam, After the round of golf players will be put back into their Free Roam.

I am with you on the MMO idea.

[AshMan306]

Most folk role play i.e kid on they have robbed a bank and there pals are the cops. But i think if i do go online with GTA V it will be a convoy all the way around the map with cops trying to stop us i.e other players in cop cars.

[Hayze]

I'm very confident it will be an expanded version of RDR's online free roam/lobby type situation. Gang hideouts, mini heists, areas to join objective games like races/tdm/etc., base jumping locations, maybe an option to do cops vs crooks not just as a mode but in general, and so on.

Very much so. You need to look at RDR rather than GTA IV to get an idea where they will go with Free Mode in GTA V. There will be opportunities to level up your character and unlock items, as well as objective based gameplay that is proceduraly generated to always give you something meaningful to do.

Why leveling up? RDR's mp was stupid you had to do gang hideouts for like a week just to get to the max level so you could use a f*cking gun. Id rather them do something unique or use money. And there was nothing boring about IVs Free mode, you just had to have creative and fun friends.

Well it's not going to be EXACTLY the same, but some form of progression and unlocking of content is to be expected.

[zainzombie]

Free roam was MIND BLOWING in RDR when it first came out, there were tons of posses with everyone riding together, beating other posses, completing hideouts etc. etc. but then I tried it again earlier this year and it was REALLY boring, esp. because I never find people in hardcore free mode.

 

Im sure GTA Online will have alot to do in Freeroam. Liars and Dice DLC pack for RDR has to be the most famous DLC pack, Im sure Rockstar noted it and will provide alot of missions like hideouts (this time heists maybe), but also the mini games in free roam, which was pretty awesome in RDR.

I love when I come upon those people in Free Roam.

 

One time I came across a bunch of people with LCPD Police names. They were talking about going on the highway for highway patrol (really?). So, I just sticky bombed them.

 

Fasted boot I've ever gotten in my life.

[johnnyink]

I've had internet as long as I can remember and I was never a fan of mp games until I played RDR, it set a standard for mp games I've been dying to feel again, I even chased the COD franchise with black ops 2 and waiting in lobbies sucks, host migration sucks, every game mode is so repetitive, take cover, throw grenade, shoot.. I ended up getting diamond sniper rifles, twice, after doing a fresh start. I quickly realized that COD is just a very mundane and bland online community and its greatest benefit is the trash talking.. I put this list on another post but it fits.. after getting gold weapons on RDR and Diamond weapons on COD, I realized what I like to gain from mp online games.. to keep them from being boring.. you just have to find what makes you happy..

 

1. I feel that as soon as we log into the world, thats it, no separation or lobbies separate from the world.

2. Mini games, activities, death match, and so forth will deal with crews and icons

3. the lobby for rivaling crews and or inviting friends into your server will be utilized through the cell phone.

4. We will be given opportunities to purchase properties as safe houses, the more currency you have, the more elaborate your safe house

5. heist modes with your buddies will definitely replace gang hideouts in RDR

6. open mic's within 100yards (game yards) to speak friendly or not

7. open season on death, with that I believe anyone and anything can be killed, including players

8. fully customized vehicles for your own personal identity in game, this can i assume include clothes as well

9. I believe the leveling will allow access to new playable characters and i cant think what else

10. GOLD GUNS.. my soul purpose once I turn the game on.

I am with you on the MMO idea.

Don't get me wrong, an MMO would be enjoyable to say the least, but I'm placing my bet around around 64 players per server or so, if not only 32. It's hard to make an open world TPSMMO to work without boat loads of bugs. Have any of you played defiance? Well odds are if you have, you've quit playing because the devs made promises they couldn't keep. Even in the amount of time its taken for V to be completed, it would be harder to design an MMO to go along side what R*'s promised in single player. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, if anyone can do it, R* can. However, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[black_benz]

I prefer free roam in single player. But, I enjoy playing games with objectives online -- especially team deathmatch, coos and crooks, and car races.

[Frantz Fuchs]

Free roam is the best online mode. I had countless hours of fun in RDR FR.

Gold Guns are rather pointless and illogical, how are you supposed to remain hidden until you attack when you have an obvious gold gun reflecting the sunlight very easily?

 

Free Mode can be fun sometimes, until some asshole shows up and spams RPG's and rely's on a car to get a kill. That or the dumbasses on TBOGT that spam choppers and rely on stickies from cars to attempt to kill. Then there is the ones that rely on shuffling back and forth, looking like the biggest dumbass to avoid getting shot. I hope we can turn off the Blips and the Player Icons so

every f*cktard doesn't rush at you when you spawn. Along with road names on the map and mini map to make it easier to play without the blips and player icons. Im hoping for 32 players online. Playing free mode as a cop is fun, especially when you see how big of dumbasses some of the suspects are. Detachable supressors for guns would be ULTIMATE!

[ViXeNoVa]

If you want to fully enjoy Free Roam you need something called

[CM_Kimmy]

Free roam is far from boring. It's nice just to get online and be with other people. I feel lonely on single player by my lonesome. Nice to drive online knowing people are around.

[ASIAN LAWYER]

i remember being stuck in a random rivalry. two guys were chasing me all around liberty city for 3 hours. determined to end me. they won, but it was still intense as f*ck.

i think what you're after is a progression system, a reason to continue. which i don't think is necessary, partly because i like to make my own fun. i create my own personal vendettas with people and do my best to annoy, or ally, with everyone. you can create some interesting scenarios in freemode, along with some great memories.
