Are people losing interest?

[thebazeman]

some people are losing interest naturally.... but the MAJORITY of GTA PLAYERS love this game.....gta iv multiplayer thrived from launch in 08 till the launch of gta v..... gtao has 100% more to do and will thrive much more and longer than gta iv multiplayer where players had to use their imagination to have fun..... i'm on ps 3 and only play free aim since gta iv and there is always lobbies full of gta lovers such as my self..... not to mention i have a crew with over 150 active daily gta gamers.......the fun never stops for me.....

 

i'm sure you were always in free mode in GTA IV MP. what has GTA:O more? drive more and longer? wow... thats it?

 

what else?

 

yeah free roam is nice, but for players who want to play REAL MP, it simply sucks. why the f*ck do we have to choose a new game after every game? why is it not the host who desides which player gets in which team? every deathmatch sucks because there are f*ckin noobs switching teams before it starts... and the maps are way to small! why can't they let the host choose how big the area in the map will be?

 

so, deathmatch sucks.

 

capture: ok, but maps are to small. the two packages are within 500 meters, how stupid is that? this map has so much unused potential. imagine you have car chases all through the map. others get a helicopter, police gets involved (or can be turned off), etc.

 

and where is the game mode that we used to play every day from 2008 till 2013: cops and crooks? what about turf war? mafia work? (they don't have to name it that way, but add modes like these).

 

and what about heists? is it even true add they will be added?

 

no rockstar... you failed. i don't know what they did, maybe hired new people who have no clue and never played mutliplayer games before...

I think what should be done is of course Heists definately, but I think, also the Mission Creator where we can make our own MISSIONS and tell our own stories, this would give R* the ability to let people develop story lines for them and give them time to get more content in the pipe.

 

personally, I wish the story missions we do have from Lester, Lamar, Etc, has MORE cut scenes in them, like the intro to GTA:O had, Those simple cut scenes just gave me a better feeling of, I am really working for these people.

I left with the cornrow bug, incompetent game developers. Also because stealth isn't stealth in this game.

[blitzzd]

Funny.

 

This game is 10x better than its predecessor and people were on that for 4 years.

 

I like it because its the same threads every year/month/week... "Are people losing interest? Is it old? New content???? Whahhhhh I'm leaving to play something else"

[thebazeman]

the game is better, the map is better, single player is awesome, but the GAME MODES in GTA:O suck!

 

i've played GTA IV five years - from release till 09/16/13. but GTA V is already becoming boring a few months after release.

[tymaster50]

i already lost interest, only reason i even hang around on these forums is because its fun talking to you guys

[SuperDuperGta]

Gay.

 

I preferred the game with the money. I just like to fight other players and not worry about running out. I haven't played for a bit due to exams but I imagine that the lobbies are full of tanks blowing everyones cars up.

[SoggyLuke]

Ive stopped playing as much since the wipe, when i did the DNS i did it for my own gain and not to affect anyone else because i know how annoying it is. I purposely only ever gained money from it in an invite only session and didnt go into public lobbies with godmode and doing all that annoying sh*t.

 

GTAO for me was 10x more fun when i didn't have to grind the same boring missions which are nothing like SP missions and had as much money as i like, its just how i prefer to play.

I had my fun doing missions but once you've done them all again and again and yet only earn 200k in 2 hours just to loose half of it in 2 minutes in free mode; it gets tedious and not fun.

 

Ill be back properly once the heists come out and the SP DLC is out.

[BondageKitty]

I try to lose interest but I don't last much in other games. I bought Call of Duty: Ghost, the story left me scratching my head and the clifthanger ending annoyed and the multiplayer felt lacking and bland, the community filled with sociopaths, ego strokes and random hate/perverted messages. Bought Battlefield 4, story was more believable and enjoyable but just as linear and the ending bothers me as it's lacking a choice and the one's you make have no difference. Multiplayer there was more interesting but the level system feels like a grind.

 

Only game that can keep me off GTA is Skyrim but to be fair, nothing has a chance against that.

[Khaos89]

The past two days I've noticed many people on my friend list playing other games. Out of the 80 people online yesterday, only like 15 were playing gta and just two weeks ago there were about 55 on my friend list who were playing. Is it just me or are people leaving?

Yes but not because of the money. I'm just bored of the same sh*t.

[~Joseph~]

I don't know about you guys, but something made gta IV's gameplay much more fun.

[Noeks]

im really happy gta v singleplayer was so good so i that i can just leave it and dont play gta online and wait for other games to come out

[Aexra]

I pop on once in a while. GTA is my 'I'm bored and just want to play something' game.

[dzian]

To be honest the one thing I wish online had was a proper story line I can play through with friends. Coop campaign kinda thing. That would be awesome.

 

What annoys me is almost every game released has cheap and lazy deathmatches and vs modes and they all get boring kinda fast. There's never a goal or objective other than beat the other guy up and win. And I'm not a huge fan of pvp.

 

This is why I was hoping to see a coop story kinda thing in online and kinda hoping that's what heists are about. I really hope they are more than just jobs or even enhanced jobs. I hope theyre full on campaign stlye sequences similar to the san andreas casino heist. Have to make decisions with your team and acquire getaway vehicles and plans etc. In such a way that even if you do the same heists several times the stuff you do in the planning stage can really change the job.

 

No doubt some people just want heists to be jump in an go but I really hope they offer so much more than quick thrills.

[LubeMan]

Here's the thing. Game has been out for almost four months now. We've all played the missions, we've all played The Commute a hundred times. And the creator is only so interesting, because basically, you're making tracks for yourself. Sh*t like "Jumps,jumps,jumps" gets Rockstar verified just proving how broken that system is. Anyway, for me, it comes down to content. There is not enough content to keep me interested. This game is a good idea gone to waste. There are not enough vehicles, mods, guns, clothes, races, or missions to keep people around. For a game that dangles the carrot, that carrot is awfully small. If there were more content, I would play more. But as it is, there is literally nothing left to do. The shelf life on GTAO is coming very soon.

 

Every time I play, I think of what this game could have been. The basics are there, but Rockstar skimped on everything. No new content (cars, missions, etc.) means folks are getting bored and leaving.

[ShinobiFixer]

I never even played GTA IV's multiplayer, matter of fact I didn't even finish GTA IV.

 

The stealth is ass in this game for a free roam game that's supposed to make me feel like I can do what I want. Which is f*cking false. This game should be called TANK WARS, since it's obviously lost it's identity as a CRIME simulator.

[M210F]

I moved on in January after getting BF4/N4S:R. GTA's problem is that it's a game which is fun for its sandbox elements, but it only encourages structured play. 1 RP for killing a civilian and 5 for killing a cop/gangster is probably the first thing I would do and the easiest gameplay element to patch in- it means you're encouraged to fight the police instead of just immediately running away. Currently, there is literally no reason to get into a standoff- you just waste ammo, and when you die you get no bonuses. In RDR, you were rewarded for going to Fort Presidio and holing up against the police, and it was one of the most fun aspects of that game, finding better areas to hide from the police- the same goes for GTAIV.

 

Taking that away means you take away half of the things people did in freeroam in previous games. Now there's just the structured survival, which we can't even make in the content creator.

[Ataricade]

I have lost interest quite a bit but I fire it up now and then. Looking forward to what they add in the future now that they are getting the game back under control.

[bensons]

GTA single player is still good but online just doesn't have enough substance compared to the other proper MMOs out there.

[Ataricade]

 

The ones who don't understand the concept of work to get money will give up. No loss, they can go play some moronic crap like COD.

I've made 30 million since reset!

Concept undstood and finished what now sir?

You mean you cheated again

[jessyaudrina]

I personally left and will never come back until heists are released

[watchclock]

Have you considered that your friend list contains a bunch of lazy scumbags who can't shoot and only get in a fight if they are:

 

a) in a tank

b) in a buzzard

c) able to chuck a sh*tload of stickies

d) able to chuck a sh*tload of RPGs

e) in a tank

[watchclock]

I don't know about you guys, but something made gta IV's gameplay much more fun.

That something is your lack of imagination

You unlock all classes`s tools VERY fast and early, for BF4, so you can have fully capable soldiers at no late than level 15-20 or so. The "mainstream" weapons you get access to very early, too - Assault - AK-12 is a very competent rifle, with carbines AK-5c AND AKU-12 easy to get very early too. Vehicles are a bit of a grind, but it depends how competent you are with one, really.

There's some really nice ideas to spice up freemode, missions and pvp modes in this thread. I just hope they get implemented.

 

R* did say they had something like 45 years of ideas for this, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I think that's a bit harsh. IV's guns had spread which made gunfights less of an automatic sprayfest. Also crouching was a simple thing that I miss considering the 'stealth' system in this game is nearly pointless. Armor actually meant something, explosives weren't as all-powerful, npc's wouldn't die in one punch, ect.

 

I wouldn't say it was much more fun, but there were some nice things in IV.

[Phyxsius-]

R* did say they had something like 45 years of ideas for this, but I'll believe it when I see it.

..and they ran out of ideas in 3 months . I`ll add 5 more minutes to those 45 years - Heists and BAWSAQ.

I wanna stun gun a bear, pick it up with a dozer, cargobob that to LS and set the bear loose in Burger Shot.

 

That's another 3 minutes?

[luisniko]

Now I only play with one person, which is in a close-by country (which not much time gap and connects much better). And if that guy is off, 95% I'd close my game and do other things.

 

And no, I still got a lot of car parts to unlock. My first character now is Lv 69. The second one is Lv 16. Still long way to go, but the content is getting old.

 

Last time i told my brother that GTAV would satisfy me for a year, but it happens to be worse than Borderlands 2, which failed to keep me for a year due to the f*cked up game balance and 'more money milking - less game quality' company attitude.

Yeah if BAWSAQ is really in, I think the chance of you profiting 2 dollars is 1:10, judging from how hard Rockstar trying to make us buy their Cash Cards.

 

Heists? Meh.

 

Personally, I don't get myself hyped up for Heist feature, just by looking at their current Online game design and business. Fun or not fun, most likely it won't be fun, so why don't we have fun doing something for our real life that makes money?
