The Pet Peeve Thread

[LubeMan]

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

If I'm racing with a couple of douchebags who grief me for no reason, I'll do this on purpose.

I've taken to doing this, as well,barring the times the thing isn't in screw up/lag mode. Or if people are verbally assaulting me for whatever reason during a mission.

[Elemental716]

Joining races and getting criminal records everytime.

[Kaber]

Fkn mask baldy glitch.

 

FIX IT! I hate how much i have to get my hair recut every time i wanna put on my devil suit.

[Chekoloco]

Love:

 

Sniping random players!

[Kaber]

Hitting the garage door on the way out of the garage.

[SAUL_SILVER]

Every fricken time you get in a car the radio is always on the station you least like, if i hear channel x again i'm going to go mental.

[muhmuhhuh]

Randomly not being able to climb down ladders correctly. Does my head in, ill do the right thing every time yet sometimes my person will just plummet to their demise as they walk off the roof.

 

I also hate that when I start to panic I randomly start smoking in game and get shot to death.

[NeoNegro]

-Little kids (under 13)

-People camping outside my apartment

-sh*tty drivers

-Foreign people with mics on

-When people chase me. If I run then I don't want to fight.

-People who use guns when I come up to them fists raised.

[KimberJane]

Not being able to do coke in your apartment. I know there is a bong in there but I hate that stuff in real life so never touch it on gta-o.

[Digitalbulletz]

Not enough gold chains, bracelets, watches or teeth. I WANT GOLD TEETH R* make it happen!!

[Digitalbulletz]

^^ Agreed I want a fat mountain of coke in my heist room with fat gaggers already railed up with a c note rolled up next to them ready to go

[SprunkJunkie]

Here goes!

 

1. Assholes who don't vote!

 

2. Missions!!

 

3. Assholes who steal my car at the start of the mission then on their mic tell me how sh*tty it is!!!

 

4. LTS when you choose random mission, that should be part of deathmatch!

 

5. Idiots in fighter jets that don't put the landing gear up!!!

 

6. French people yacking on the mic then giggling, gad dammit thats annoying!

 

7. Chrome Adders with pastel green wheels!!

 

8. Money, I never have enough!! Why is R* so tight with the money, I refuse to buy their stupid cash cards.

 

9. People who glitch or cheat their way to invincibility with indestructible cars, and all they want to do is run you over but if you go on a ledge where they cant hit you they throw stickies at you and detonate them right next to their cars and then act all superior on the mic.

 

10. Bounties the entire bounty system is stupid and anyone with half a brain and a friend can profit from it.

 

I guess I'm done.

 

Oh and all you who hate getting killed in free mode, I laugh at you because I love killing you guys in free mode, its the most fun and yes I have a tank and I will blow your ugly adder to smithereens and not give a damn!!!

[Alphonso Mango]

Ringing pegasus next to the hospital and they deliver it to Vespucci.

 

Words cannot describe my hate towards the mechanic

 

Getting told I am a loser for having a rank 200 charachter

 

Overtaking people then getting completely rammed so neither of us win.

 

People who give up in lap races and ruin it for others

 

The cover system

 

The aiming system

 

My apartment garage door scratching my car every time I leave

 

The constant stream of profanities on mic

 

No party system a la BF3

 

Catchup

 

Criminal records/Commute

 

Ordering cars then they don't show up, ever.

 

Struggling players on survival who stand right by me

 

All palyers who are named with pre/suffix of I/x/X and aldo HD

 

Cant sell premium cars I bought

 

The fact I am utter garbage at combat

 

Simeon

 

"dupe me your tailgater bro"

 

Wasting 1.5 mil on a tank and 1.8 on a buzzard

 

Cheaters

 

Getting trounced by playes, putting on passive mode then getting run over again and again, finally getting away to a tank and turning the tables and then they just leave, I order a car right then just on the off chance that weasel of a mechanic will turn up just so I can stab him.

 

Other wise TOP, top game

[SandyEggoJoe]

Mechanic is the anti-christ

 

 

Getting one star on a motorcycle, fleeing to make it two stars, and then getting murdered by the cops who just slammed a car into a bike for a petty offense. The cops would never do that.

Clearly someone isn't racial minority from L.A

 

[Jet Jacuzzi]

 

People who spawn kill and camp at LS customs.

There were two guys camped atop a large apartment building (helicopter'd up there) north of the central LSC, rendering the shop useless, even to speedier players. I did the only thing that made any logical sense. I stood in the open area, went into Passive, and used the Jerk gesture repeatedly, drawing their fire until someone with a buzzard knocked them out. Fun stuff!!

 

 

I think I was in the same lobby, tried to snipe them from another, slightly higher building but the draw distance couldn't show them

 

They were over rank 100 and I'm only 53 so, if I'm honest, they were completely owning me. Everytime I spawned they got me within a few seconds.

 

I think eventually someone crashed a titan into them.

[CReaper210]

The damn mechanic.... the end.

^

That little f*cker. Why do I have to call him 5 times before he finally brings me my car.

[fw3]

I really enjoy the adrenaline rush of a personal feud with another player. Pull up to LSC and some off-radar dude pwns me. Okay, "game on!"

0–1... 1–1... 1–2... 1–3... 1–4... 1–5... 1–6...

 

uhoh. I'm getting a little too pwned.

1–7... 1–8... 1–9... wtf?

My pet peeve, here: The rude awakening of just how much I suck at this game! LOL!!! Cheers!

[GRINCH ASS BITCH]

One of my friends is a dumbass who can't drive for shi­t and always crashes into me when I'm trying to keep my car in good condition.

[THEFAM_MCMJ]

Not being able to CROUCH! Wtf R*?? Cover system is trash!

 

A-holes in tanks spawn killing ppl, but then they go into p*ssy mode (passive mode) when I destroy their tank with mine and start giving them a taste of their own medicine.

 

Not being able to insure all vehicles such as police cruisers etc..

 

Bad sport system. Making us pay their insurance is punishment enough. But puttin us in BS lobbies for blowing up cars is just retarded. Dumbest idea ever R*

 

The list goes on but I can't think of any right now..

 

Btw, it's funny how many ppl hate their mechanic lol. I personally have never had a prob with him. He's very reliable, for me at least. Only twice has he called back and told me he can't bring it, but that's because I was in the middle of nowhere and not even close to a road..

[Diesleman]

Driving in missions. Any mission that requires you to drive with heat on you is a pain in the f*cking ass, with enemy vehicles constantly spawning 10 metres in front of you already at full speed.

 

They slam you head on like f*cking mad men then one shot you in the face while you're still struggling to gauge where your gun is going to shoot.

 

I play free aim and have a respectable kd of 1.98, but it can be quite difficult and ultimately frustrating when all of a sudden, out of no where I have 3 seconds to dispose of a car load of enemies while pinned against a wall, quite often not actually able to fire in the required direction. Trucks are particularly notorious for that last one.

 

Oh and GRINCH, yeah I hate that haha especially because its your mate so you can't really just tell him he's useless, haha.

Well sh*t, why not:

 

The police ramming you at warp speed despite what sports car you are in, you honestly shouldnt have to worry about getting rammed unless you are driving, idk, a regina or something.

 

Once you get rammed, your car turns magnetic and veers towards the closet immovable object.

 

No working 4x4 system

 

Wonky vehicle mass physics. A NPC vehicle can ram you and your sh*t slides 20 feet, you ram a npc vehicle and it's the equivalent of ramming a nuetron star with a gumball. In particular, in IV the Patriot would easily ram through, climb over, push over any police vehicle in the game, whereas in V, the very same Patriot cant even push a Blista out of the way, the wheels just spin and even if you back up and ram it several times, the car barely moves.

 

The fact that the Duneloader and Dubsta both have snorkel intakes, yet they do not raise the water destroyed line on the vehicle.

 

The weird bit that super cars do not spawn in the world to be stolen for joyrides past the Infernus. It would be nice to see the super cars at locations around the more posh side of town. And maybe even the JB700 can randomly spawn at the Majestic studio or something.

 

Absolute non wavering, 1000% accurate enemy accuracy from gang members and police. It doesnt matter what you are doing, if you dont have a vehicle with either no back window, or a very small one, the ACME bullets the enemy uses will get you....easily.

 

Wildy unrealistic health, I can shoot a gang member, or a merryweather tool 30 times in the chest, and as they fall, and lay on the ground, tens of tens of bullets, before they die, or I shoot them 30 times and they still manage to sit up and go into last stand? I can get wasted from full health and full armor in mere milliseconds, Like with 5 shots Im dead. How the f*ck is that fair? Seriously? My shooting level says I'm military trained, what f*cking military? The Antarctic Paramilitary? Trained by an army of penguins?

 

Garbage vehicle physics compared to IV. I loved grabbing a Dukes and drifting around corners while getting chased by cops, now in V, there really is no drift. Cars will not downshift to keep the tires spinning. Cars handle for the most part like they are on rails, and when the back end finally does break loose it usually ends up in a panicked whipping back and forth motion or you just spin out.

 

Suspension that doesnt feel....right. The suspension goes through the motions, but it doesnt feel like it does anything. Hard to explain.

 

The traction bar concept. It completely ruins the concept of an offroad vehicle vs a super car. You will never see a CCX or Veyron offroad. Ever. So why then, do they outperform every other vehicle in the game on EVERY surface? Im in an offroad vehicle, which isnt 4x4 as one would think, and it gets outclimbed by a sports car because of the traction concept. No. An offroad vehicle should be average or below average on the road, and superb off road, and that just does not seem to be the case.

 

Gravel and dirt roads. Why do they slow you down? I figure instead they should cause your car to slide about more, instead of just slow you down. Rockstar dev team, come to my house and get in my interceptor, and lets go see how a dirt and gravel road really make a car feel.

 

Tires. They really dont much of a difference, there was another thread, where the difference made was so insignificant that there was no reason to change other than aesthetics. Therefore, they should be changed to make a serious difference.

• Offroad- reduces traction, decreased acceleration, and cornering grip on pavement, greatly improves traction, acceleration, grip, and braking offroad. Also adds aggressive drone sound from tires like real life counterparts.
• Sports- Adds Moderate acceleration grip, traction, and braking on roads, loses moderate of the three off road.
• Highend/Lowrider- Mainly for looks, Doesnt really add any significant changes, either on or off road.
• Muscle- Improves straightline acceleration on particular vehicles ( will not add to sports or super cars, effects mainly for muscle cars, which have the option for wheelie bars, causes front end of those 2 cars to lift off the ground ) Loses out on cornering grip, which causes a more drift worthy turning ability for muscle cars, and sedans/coupes.
• Tuner- Adds extra cornering grip at loss of straightline stability ( due to thick sidewalls) Also increases acceleration grip for particular tuner cars outfitted with these tires.

 

 

The list could go on and on. Some of these would be easier to implement than others, but many of these are peeves that irritate me every time I think about them.

 

Also, how worthless the character customization, clothing, weapon customization, and character creator is compared to Saints Row 3 and 4.

[a20characterusername]

Everyone who doesn't play the game exactly as I do is playing it wrong, that's my biggest pet peeve.

 

My second biggest pet peeve is the term "pet peeve".

[Biohazard Abyss]

When I join a session and my character is smoking, drinking, eating, etc.

 

You can't cancel the animation. It's annoying as hell, I just want to play online dammit.

And this right here is the single best written or verbal explanation of why the driving in 5 is f*cking gay. That being said man, you should grab a Phoenix vigero or futo, tune them to the max and leave the suspension stock. There are other cars as well, but the Phoenix in particular like this is a lot of fun to drive

[JohnMcClainNYPD]

The voting system. When the majority have decided, we shouldn't have to wait for the end of the timer for the one idiot who hasn't voted. Their vote won't matter since the majority have already decided. This is something they should patch. I have no problem waiting if they are the deciding vote, but most of the time their vote doesn't matter anyway.

[Horndog_SA]

Having dumba*s crew members killing you when you land to pick them up with a chopper, wtf!!!
