The Pet Peeve Thread

[Scumbag_Dave]

Not being able to sprint while on phone.

Run from cops and call Lester? #nolol

 

Not only that, but the run button and end call button are the same. Sometimes I forget you can't run while on the phone, so when I'm on the phone, accidentally press the run button and it ends the call! Argh!!

[fw3]

Ah, but have you ever thought you'd put your phone away, only to call another player by accident? DOH!!

[WBaker]

I have a pet peeve about the trademark symbol in the thread name. It's rather pointless.

[Zanje]

Infinite respawning enemies, I just hate them every game they are included in, it is such a cheap way of trying to attain more difficulty.

[RowanSane]

Not being allowed to golf in my knee high boots or leopard yetis. The high heeled combat boots I understand.

[A Maned Wolf]

Stealth killing an enemy, no matter how far away or quietly, it alerts everyone.

Why even put it in the game if it doesn't work?

[pizza4life]

When a modder gives you 2bil and you have to withdraw 1m at a time on another character ro get rid of it -_-

[PkUnzipper]

breaking cover by automatically standing up to eat/drink tin order to replenish health in the middle of a firefight. Especially if there's a tank nearby with it's barrel pointed at you.

The Mechanic

 

When you start a mission and have to cross a street to get to the objective

or your vehicle and a civilian smashes into you depleting the armor you just spent 500 bucks on.

 

and the biggest one of all Rockstar's decision to take the cash out of racing but not fixing the glitches.

[Mr. Crowley]

NPC drivers ... they all drive like C*NTS

Yeah....I find it amazing that they managed to make them so realistic.

[SpidersWeb]

Already said, but yeah what grinds my gears is the cover system - in some situations you'll press R1 to go to the nearest cover, and I'll have the game jump me over to the other side (somewhere further away) where I get shot. It needs to target the closest wall the camera is pointing towards.

[lilpokerface]

My pet peeves are pets that pee on carpet and tanks.

[MeGusta90]

Oooooooooooooooo

 

When you're trying to join your friend's session and it says "getting session details" or something like that... but then you have to wait through that + the loading screen before it tells you that the session is full, and then kicks you to some other session.

 

What the fu­ck. When you get the fu­cking session details, tell me right then and there that the fu­cking session is full, don't make me sit through 60+ second load screens just to tell me something that you already knew before you brought me here. Jesus Christ.

This^

 

Also, your f*cking sig violates my soul.

I have a pet peeve about the trademark symbol in the thread name. It's rather pointless.

You are.®

[Acky.]

Let's go!

 

1. Locking on to NPC's when you're trying to lock onto the player aiming a f*cking AR at you.

 

2. Police trying their best to kill you for walking into them, stealing a car, killing another player who shot at you, for driving into them, for THEM driving into YOU, because you J-walked and they decided to impale your spine with the grill of their cruiser.

 

3. Police having ridiculous accuracy.

 

4. Players that kill you for no f*cking reason.

 

5. Players who sit outside LSC waiting for someone to kill.

 

6. Players who roam around in a f*cking tank.

 

7. Players who enter glitches on the map and repetitively kill you for no reason.

 

8. People who have bounties on their head hiding in their apartments.

 

9. The mechanic who decides when and when not to bring you vehicle, then crashes into NPC traffic, or brings it to you to only drive off.

 

10. The annoying as f*ck random bounties for stealing a rusty old ass Emperor or some other sh*t car.

 

11. The stealth system being redundant.

 

12. Pegasus charges for delivering a vehicle that you've already purchased at the other side of the map.

 

13. A bad sport system which is shocking and doesn't work accordingly.

 

 

There's probably many more which I have forgotten.

[datboishad]

long ass respawns in a race, when my mechanic dont deliver my sh*t, people who drive around in a tank and blow you up for no reason

[Vice Beach]

The Buzzard locking on to police when I'm trying to shoot at other players.

 

Getting knocked over by some c*nt in an Adder, then laying on the ground motionless for a few seconds while being riddled with bullets because my character forgot how to stand up.

 

Taking cover in unintended spots in critical situations.

 

R* blocking areas in Survivals.

 

Impounded cars.

 

Sticky bombs.

 

Banking cash is completely pointless. Don't believe the lies.

 

Stealth mode is completely pointless.

 

Still no heists.

[blk95ta]

asshole griefers.

tonight i joined a mission with a friend and a random 3rd and the 3rd guy proceeded to blow up both of our PV's and then leave. WTF? why even bother. i hope he got BS for it. he did have to pay the tab. i only wish it was my $10,600 Stinger and not my $250 Phoenix.

 

Rumor has it he was actually from this site too..

The last guy to vote on a screen...

 

f*ck that guy.

[Horndog_SA]

Cops are the most irritating, when you having a gun fight with other players and still have to worry about the cops shooting you, stupid, they should allow for sessions with no cops or somehow fix this.

also when calling meryweather, spending my cash for a helicopter pick up only to kill the guy and as i enter the chopper it vanishes WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

no speed dials for lester etc, sometime you really need to get hold of someone quick, but the time it takes you while you fighting is stupid, by the time you have connected to the contact (while walking as you cannot run) you have been killed...

the point would be he is getting his K/D ratio up and yours down, do something and fight back, its fun.

 

btw my K/D ration is 2.95

[Sangers]

People who don't like/vote/ready up quickly. That is the single most irritating thing for me.

 

actually occasionally the game glitches and the screen is still loading for the whole period that everyone else is waiting for other players to vote. then when the timer runs out on the voting thing, everyone gets to the next screen where you vote on the next mission or return to free roam etc.

 

so it's not their fault ...sometimes.

[Areacode8O8]

Random players trying to kill me during missions.

[Sangers]

 

• People who go all Rambo on missions, try to do everything themselves, don't wait to see if others need/want a ride

 

 

i use to hate this. it's kinda essential on that Los Santos Connection mission if you're doing anything with randoms. Some idiot always blows up the coke with a buzzard. Once I did that mission about 6x and each time someone blew up the coke despite myself and another guy having Mics telling people not to. ...I guess that's my pet peeve.

[z0etr0pe]

My biggest pet peeve, and I have a few, is the LS Police.

 

Yes, they're agressive. Fine. But I cringe when, for example, a tank is griefing the area and one of the fifteen cruisers crashes into me, minding my own, and suddenly, I become the entire focus of their attention, gaining two stars and fleeing for safety.

 

Or maybe it's the swarm of cops that comes out of nowhere for jacking a Futo?

 

In GTA4 you got arrested for minor offenses. Now, it's life or death if you punch a smartmouth pedestrian!

 

you've obviously never had to deal with the LAPD.

[silentunion]

My latest pet peeve are the ones who run to a tank when no one else is even using a tank. My guess is that those people feel insecure about their ability to use a gun or something?

 

At least I know how to snipe them anyway.

[Alpha Riff]

1) When you join a mission and people insist on not unlocking their cars them drive off to the objective without you. A lot of the time I join missions from my apartment, so I don't have a car handy. We all know how slow/unreliable the mechanic is. It takes less time for someone to unlock a car than it would for me to call and wait or call and not get him to come (which is more often than not, especially because people seem to missions out in the middle of nowhere where the server has issues picking out your location). I've actually started not helping on missions if everybody just jets out without me.

 

2) When, as the passenger, the driver pulls ALL THE WAY UP TO THE NPCS AND INITIATES THEM then proceeds to turn the car so passenger is targeted and killed almost immediately. Really? The host set this on hard so NPCS have almost 100% accuracy and you decided to waste the one life we have because you wanted to be Rambo with a passenger? It's almost obvious sometimes that people playing this game have zero finesse or strategy and want to run into the middle of enemies without a care in the world. Probably the same hero types who die repeatedly in survival and send angry messages because I'm not out in the middle of the map on wave 9 running and gunning.
