You know you are addicted to GTA online when...

[Black Terminator]

When you get a scratch on your car and you always go to the mechanic to get it fixed.

[Halal Cyborg]

When you've levelled up a second character to 115 in less than 2 months just to have 30 more cars

[JoshD4PreZ]

Damn this is the only thing I could find on google? Brought me right back to where I started today before searching "can you get addicted to GTA online"...

 

Well f*ck it, I'll dig this thread up from the grave...

 

I got one....

 

 

 

When you first bought the game for your Xbox360.. And a few months later decided "I'd love to see what first person is like"...

 

So you buy it for Xbox1... And buy an Xbox1... and it's the only game you've ever bought or played on Xbox1... after a few months....You hear about this little thing called "Remote Play" that PS4 has and XB1 doesn't...

 

So what do you do?...

 

You go buy a PS4.. and a PS VITA to remotely control your PS4... and you buy GTA for the 3rd time... You are now convinced GTA is the only game you'll ever need to buy..

 

So now you can use remote play with your PS VITA, to turn your PS4 on, anywhere in the world you have wifi... All so you can Play GTA when you normally wouldn't be able to Play GTA...

 

Then you get pissed, that normal wifi coverage isn't enough... like when your in a car going places, or at work.. So you start using your phone as a mobile hotspot, to tether your VITA to connect to your phones wifi... Now you're able to play your PS4 absolutely anywhere you have at least 2 bars of cell phone signal.. All so you can play GTA even more than when you normally wouldn't be able to play GTA...

 

And then you end up with a $1600 phone bill from going over your monthly data allowance....

 

And 3 different consoles with 3 copies of the same game, when you only use one...

 

 

Yeah... I don't have some catchy way of ending this story, other than I'm f*cked.... so ya don't have to tell me that I need help, or need a life, or need friends, or any of that.. cuz trust me, I already know...

When you stay up until 1AM-2AM and oversleep + miss school..

 

Not miss school because its an 18 game and nobody under 18 is allowed to play. But the part of 2am is right.

[CaptainMarvel]

When you name real cars after their GTA counterparts.

 

I drive a MB C270, but it's a Feltzer now!

It's sad/funny for me too man. Drive a Serrano/ML350, have a Landstalker/Navigator and just got Franklin's Buffalo s last month.

[Fakeplastictrees]

When you tell an absolute gorgeous guy he can't come round tonight as I have a headache, when really I just wanna chill out with a load of food, cigarettes and blast music whilst playing GTA (EVERY WEEKEND).

 

When you live in the UK, get in a car as a passenger and start screaming that the drivers driving on the wrong side of the road.

 

When you literally try rolling around the living room floor thinking you and your family are in a TDM!

[Coleco]

When you mentally prepare yourself to bail out of your real-life vehicle when you hear low-flying aircraft overhead

[Draclonis]

When you dream about bustin caps in people and even go so far as using the weapon wheel to pull our your Marksmen Pistol because someone is being a douche and won't die.

[whywontyoulisten]

I have to admit that seeing an armoured truck fills my mind with thoughts of sticky bombs, and real life cars register as Ballers, Jackals, Pantos etc., but other than that, I'm still pretty well connected to reality. I fear for some of you.

What about post secondary? college, uni, trade schools, etc?

I saw this thread today and thought, 'I should've just posted here', touché XD. How do you post a link?

 

OT - I figure if I'd stuck to just one account and 1 character, would be close to 1000.. So that.

[Quarthon]

When you (you meaning I) start drinking at noon and playing GTAO until you need to go on a beer run. Having a good buzz on the walk the real world just isnt real. No its still GTA and the thought of stealing a car to get to my destination is actually a consideration for a split second.

[Sentinel Driver]

When you hear La Cucaracha you pull out a rpg and rush to cover, prepared to destroy a hot pink/lime green/chrome zentorno speeding at you

[GTA_dog]

When you see an armored truck IRL and your girlfriend says to pull out sticky bombs

[deadx23]

When you have 7 characters to play with

[King Rossey]

When you go to check your phone behind you on your bed in real life but you can't fully turn around to see it so you click on the right stick on your controller .. I did that

[Elder Maxson]

You try to put money in your savings account by jamming it into your phone.

[Nah nah nah Gta 6]

When you're taking out enemies with friends and you start talking about tactics very seriously.

[GoodTimesAhead]

you wanna jack every random car in your neighborhood & take them to custom shop to change the wheels multiple times.

[JON22]

When you spot multiple vehicles that are the same type at traffic lights in real life and think of the sh*tty vehicle spawning. Seriously yesterday on the way to my cleaning job I saw two exact copies of a Volkswagen van turning at traffic lights. Only difference was the paint job.

 

And on the way home I saw three SEAT cars close to each other at another set of traffic lights. Looked the same except colour.

 

@JoshD4Prez-.........give me (real life) money......j/k.....any loose change?....

[ric-013]

When you are sitting in traffic and see a Land Rover drive by and your first thought is I can get 9k for that.

Lol , i do that pretty often ...

[R3CON]

You think of cars in real life by their GTA names.

 

I watched Need For Speed for the first time a few days ago and thought hey, the Adder vs the T20 vs the Zentorno vs Entity, what a race.

[Handsome Jack]

When you car jack somebody and kill them so they dont call the po po

[Flachbau]

When you jack lower end cars instead, cause you cant customize the higher end vehicles without drawing attention to yourself

[FFDP999]

When you walk into a 7 eleven and wonder how you'd rob it.

[Cancerslug]

When you go to sleep and youre still playing in your dreams

[Captain Sensib1e]

Nope, never been that addicted to GTA.

 

Now Skyrim, damn, everytime I passed by a flower or lightning bug IRL, I wanted to pick it and brew a potion!
