Stupid ideas from R* we can all agree on

[Thebootydisorientsme]

Rockstar has made many terrible design decisions for the online component of this game. I'm not talking about launch issues or anything like that, i'm talking about decision they made regarding game mechanics that are incredibly stupid, here are all the ones I can think of and I'm sure the entire forums if not the entire player base can somewhat agree.

 

1. Making the first tutorial mission unskippable and dependent on other players. This was a huge disaster for everybody, and I don't understand why we even need a mission type tutorial for this considering we've been playing the game for 2 damn weeks, this is GTA we know how to drive a damn car and how to shoot people. They also shouldn't have made it dependent on other players to join the race considering that's where most people hit a brick wall when it came to connecting and it was a huge clusterf*ck for everybody truing to complete the tutorial and waiting on the lobby to fill.

 

Bottom line, there should have been an option to skip the tutorial (not the intro, just the playable race) or at the very least an option to do it alone without having to wait for any other players and just racing Lamar alone like many of us ended up doing after hours of waiting.

 

2. Losing money for hospital bills in Deathmatches and missions. This was straight up retarded, I can understand losing money in free roam if you die countless times, but it shouldn't be that way in deathmatch because you will almost always inevitably die, and the very nature of a team oriented deathmatch or mission means you have to rely on other players for assistance, and lets face it most of the time we are teamed up with utter morons and the best you can do is to try and get a decent kill count or to complete the missions alone, but we shouldn't be punished and lose money for dying during deathmatches considering the circumstances. Free roam is fine because you atleast have the means to escape, swithc lobbies, enter passive mode or any number of things to secure your funds but deathmatch is a completely different story.

 

3. Being given a bad sport title for being disconnected form a deathmatch. I recently entered three deathmatches and in every single one of them I was killed and taken to a black loading screen that just sat there for maybe 10 minutes with nothing happening, I didn't respawn, i didn't exit the lobby, so I had to restart my console and as soon as I re entered free roam I get a prompt telling me that I "recently quit a job without completing it and could be given a bad sport title if I do this frequently". this is bullsh*t rockstar if you can't get your servers don't run properly enough to keep us connected to a deathmatch we shouldn;t be given a bad sport title for disconnecting when we have no other choice.

 

4.Those stupid ass filters that come on when you get a kill streak or losing streak or bull shark testosterone or whatever the f*ck it is, they are stupid as all hell and should be removed. the pulsing screen is irritating and distracting and I can't see sh*t most of the time and always end up getting killed.

 

5. Character customization. I don't need to elaborate. this system was a lazy cop out and its stupid as f*ck, everybody either looks like a coked out junkie or a botox addict. Its annoying trying to configure stupid grandparents because for one there aren't many choices and two a lot of the times the results don't match up on your characters so no matter what you do you always look like some bloated east african/indian meth addict with cheetos stored in his cheeks.

bump, discuss people

[Crookid]

1.) Design issues that don't involve not being able to play? Yet your first reason is such. If there was no freezing no one would have an issue with this mission. It served as a gateway and small tutorial/story of you entering LS. It also gives you your starter vehicle.

 

2.) if you deposit your money, you do not lose any for being wasted.

 

3.) The bad sport idea was excellent and if server issues didn't exist, this would not be a problem. If you played other online multiplayer a, it's incredibly annoying when there is no repercussions for people just quitting. You can earn good sport points that if you don't intentionally act like a dick, will hugely outweigh the few DMs you left due to crashes. Again, something involving issues and not mechanics. And honestly, I'm glad there is something in place for quitting bitches, cheaters and griefers. Love the dunce section also so the assholes get out with other assholes.

 

4.) I have gotten those achievements and haven't noticed any annoying screen shaking so I can't speak on that.

 

5.) On the contrary, I think it's the opposite. I think R* got over zealous and tried to create something innovative but it back fire. The whole don't reinvent the wheel comes into play here and I partly agree with you. I only partly agree because with some tweaking I am happy with how my guy looks. But given the amount of idiocy I've encountered in the game (not saying you are one), of people asking a million questions about the easiest self explanatory sh*t, I can see where people get frustrated with it. But honestly, I think people should stop being so pessimistic such as this thread and focus on what they like and give good feedback to R* in what they should change in up coming patches. Not scream in agony over every experimental thing. I played APB for a long time and this game blows that out of the water. So much room to grow. Relax and enjoy what you can and wait for some improvements. We are here to HELP R* improve the experience. Not bash them for not getting it right the first f*cking day. This is the first time any developer has done something so ambitious.

For number 2 I believe you still lose deposited money because its considered a legitimate purchase/medical bill so to speak. Could be wrong though.

Yawn... Zzzzzzz

Didn't read LOL!

[ShinobiFixer]

I agree with #1.... The rest I'll have to wait and see.

 

The last one, it took me four times to get the look I wanted for myself. So it's cool in my book.

[drjonkoe]

Deposited or not, youre money is gone. They will just deduct it from your bank account

[Flashify]

Agree agree agree agree agree agree agree agree.

 

I'll add one too, MONEY. I don't wanna buy sh*t let me f*cking run across the road and pick up an RPG, worked fine in IV.

What are you doing on a forum.... most of the stuff here is letters, which make words and sentences. If you don't like to read dont go to a forum

No you are correct - you lose a % of your total money (banked + carried)

But where will you find an RPG?

Maybe it's a bug on your end. I never lose money when I die.

 

Honestly, if this is intended I like it. Gives you reason to not just go around and kill/grief people because if you die it costs.

 

Don't want to get killed and lose money? Just go into passive and queue for missions/jobs.

 

What is so f*cking difficult?

If you actually read the damn post I'm talking about losing money during deathmatches and missions not during free roam.

Can still be killed in passive if you're in a vehicle. Can still be run over as well.

I agree with all of those! I don't even care about the server issues as long as I can go play on Solo Session and rank up a bit first, but no! They make it to where you have to be in a public session even though I only raced against Lamar only anyways! It's very frustrating. Then I lost my character, created a new one, and the mark will not appear!

 

I have a feeling this is nowhere near finished which is very disappointing seeing as they had an extra two weeks on top of an already long five years. This game is off to quite the rough start in my opinion...

another one for the list.

 

Guns in skydiving... REALLY WTF?

 

i had been doing SD missions alone yesterday for some RP and decided to do one today and as soon as i got into it, one of the f*ckers who was above me killed me after i deployed my chute! seriously WTF? in order to not lose the $2000 it would have cost me in medical bills i quickly quit to xbox dashboard. yeah i've resorted to cheating just to keep my money from being sucked away by many of Rockstar's BS ways to get you to never have enough money to buy properties.

Agreed. You know what I do? I don't play deathmatches and I expect a lot of people to do the same.

[E•MO•TION]

I don't play GTAO and I suggest everyone do the same. Maybe we should even launch GTA IV multiplayer.

GTA IV is sh*t. I can connect perfectly to GTAO The game is fun it just needs a good ironing.

[billy2048]

Agree with the whole sh*t. Don't like deathmatch at all, because shooting with a gamepad is just utter garbage, but now you even loose money. f*ck this dm garbage.
