Are people losing interest?

[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.

 

 

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?

 

I would go as far as saying that it will be "rigged" to make you lose money. My only reason is this: Rockstar is trying its best to turn this game into a grind and have money very scarce. They have no reason to give tools to gain money fast, but they have all reasons to trick you into losing them.

I have a few people I friended from here plus some friends in real life and my GF and most of the time I can find them on PSN. Maybe PSN is much busier than XBox.

Why do you still play?

[Mud1221]

 

 

most of the people quitting are the kind of players we don't want around anyways..

 

 

And how exactly did you establish that, exactly ?

 

Me and all my mates are working professionals and all have dumped money into the cash cards (hence supporting the game in probably the most relevant way : financially). Six of them have already left and certainly none of us ever partook in the DNS/hacking nonsense. Most left due to the lack of heists and the ridiculous job Rockstar did during the all affair.

 

But it's not really relevant since players with money who aren't cheating and got sick of waiting for promised content are not desirable members of the community anyway...

 

lol k.

 

 

Maybe if you didn't wait in game for the dlc then you wouldn't be bored of the game by now I bet you spoil your dinner by munching out on snacks too

[Phyxsius-]

Why do you still play?

 

I am not since 1.07.

 

I still own the game and I feel like I am entitled to participate in discussions about the state of the game. If and when I will sell it, or trade it, I will remove myself from these forums. That time isn`t now, however.

I have plenty of other games / activities. It is only tragic for the ones that have only GTA 5.

If its the only game you own, youve got more reason to hang around the forums. You dont play it anymore, but here you are, thats kinda tragic

The reason is simpler - I can`t play right now, because of work. I don`t have enough work to keep me busy 100% of my time. Forums are a nice way of losing time until I can use my free time

Why not whine on the forums of a game you actually play though? I dont get it.

I`m not whining. I am sharing an opinion onto an open forum.

 

You see, not everything said against Rockstar or this game is whining. Some are simple opinions.

lol this game is dead. Coming back after 3 weeks and nobody of my friendlist (60 people that played gta) is playing this game. Only one member of my crew( 50 people) is playing atm.

 

Finally...

I am... Just got done with my sunday play session with a friend (he has small kids and his own business so he only gets a couple of hours on sunday to play). We started off with our usual survival boneyard to make a quick $20,000. First two times we tried I got booted to spectating at the start even though I was hosting the survival... Then the two of us only make it to wave 3, they've buffed the npcs again.

 

Every time I log on they've done something else to screw over the casual gamer. This is the first time I had logged on to play in a few days because to tell you the truth I am bored. While I do have money I don't want to do anything to spend it because I don't want to go back to grinding. So all the fun I had while rich... those days are over. Yeah... I think I'm done with this half ass MMO wanna be. It tries to be all things so it does none of them well. They should have just stuck with the GTA4 mayhem model.

[Mikeol1987]

I have lost interest to be honest, even after the patch the whole of gta o is just a trolling paradise and its getting boring.

hell even the maps boring to me now. I dont know if anyone feels the same way buy I memerised los santos and blaine county far farquicker than I did with liberty city. I find that weird cu I thought los santos would have exploring like mad for many months to come. This whole game is stale and to be honest I am also fed up with rockstar games. Their customer service is a huge problem. I was hoping taking away all the hacked cash was gonna make the game better again but its still just a bit lame. I only ever play it for like half hour or fifteen minutes nowadays. Overall I have been pretty disappointed by this GTA.

 

I agree with pilot above, they try to do too many things that none of it is very good or polished.

Of course people are losing interest. The game has been out for four months now. If it was CoD a sequel would've already been made.

[guygamer1]

I only had a few friends before from uncharted and none of them play gta so I've made all my friend's from here and from playing the actual game. Majority of people here have a keen interest in gta and I think they will continue to play it until the next one comes out on next gen. Just like me.

[FasterThanYou]

Get a nice active crew and fun is unlimited. Havent lost interest at all because WE structure the activities, so theres always stuff to do.

[damian001]

All I'm going to say is I started losing interest when they cut mission payouts in half back in November. When the glitchers started giving out everyone billions, my interest peaked again.

 

The game is unfun if you have to pay for everything. Do most popular shooter games (CoD, Halo, Battlefield) make you buy ammo? No.

[thatstupidbug]

OF COURSE I'm losing interest, today I just wasted like 40 mintues for 5 minutes of actual gameplay.

 

I did a post some day ago when I said that I hate when you're searching a deathmatch and the only thing that pop up are stupid ones like the prision fist brawl...today I got nothing but THAT, 5 times in a row... is that normal? I ended playing one just for some cash, and it lasted just 2 minutes... I do not feels to play the onlyne anymore, because I have one hour to play at day, and I lost half of this time watching the loading screen,..

 

they NEED to add a fast research function with the exact feature we're searching for (like "team death match" and "just pick-up", for example)

 

PS: if there's something like this, please let me know

Pay no attention to the guy in the ape mask, flipping you off while riding a wheelie on his bmx

They bought and own all the goodies and toys, even with the money gone they have no objectives left to play for other then an occasional hour long killing spree.

to be fair, you have always had to pay for ammo lol. it isn't that expensive anyways if you don't top out all the time

Why did you even mention those games? lol

Apples and oranges, if you don't like the game don't play it.

[PancakePoon]

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

Might have to do with the fact that money wasn't an issue. There were no worries playing GTA IV's multiplayer.

[Rezard]

I'm only still playing because I already paid for the Xbox version to play online with friends, and a few still do. That, and I have always enjoyed GTA games (until this mess).

 

Otherwise, I'm working my "corrupt" and "unusable" character back up over 100 by mercilessly owning the low-rank players I'm stuck with. Just playing the game as it's presented to me, as usual.

[LubeMan]

Here's a typical play session:

 

Boot up the game, watch loading screen for three minutes, load online game, watch loading screen for three minutes, choose quick race, watch loading screen for two minutes, back out cause it's "jumps,jumps,jumps" with supers, choose quick race, watch loading screen for two minutes, choose quick race again, get booted for inactivity, watch loading screen for two minutes, boot up online game, watch loading screen for three minutes, choose quick race, back out cause it's a boat race, host my own race, wait for five minutes for nobody to join, back out, drive around LS looking for someone to kill or f*ck with for ten minutes, log out cause it's boring.

 

I will race with my crew when they're on, but for real that's all there is to do. That's it. Race with your crew. And it's not even that good of a racing game.

 

Why is the prison not open? Where's the casino? Where's mission creator? Heists? New vehicles? Anything? Anything?

 

And here come the fanboys....

This is simply not true for a lot of people. There's been no new co-op missions since launch. Created content fails because currently the matchmaking is broken. In addition queue options are limited. If they at least fixed the matchmaking, created content would likely take off.

[RealHoosier07]

I still like the game and can't wait for the mission creator and heists, but I'm done with it for now. I am glad they took the money away from me....receiving the money kinda killed the game for me. Now I have enough of what I want and I'm bored with the co-ops and deathmatches/races. The videos I've seen on the Mission Creator are awesome and I can't wait to create some unique missions. We will have the ability to create "boss fights" by giving certain enemies up to 500% health. We will be able to create co-ops/missions that are very different than what Rockstar gave us. Go to youtube and search gta5 mission creator to see a video on it.

 

The heists will be amazing if they actually take teamwork and strategy to complete them...Im ready for more to do andd will patiently wait until then..I'm not done with this game yet...just taking a break. I love some HotShots Golf and The Last of Us(great multiplayer expereience).

Yes we need a new matchmaking system. I would like to see the ability to choose one of your creations and put it into a queue that searches for other players that have put their creations into a queue and then joins you all together for a playlist of each others creations. You could have options of 4, 8, 12, and 16 as the playlist size option you are wanting. If you choose 4, then the game would find 3 other players and their creations to group you with.

 

There HAS to be the option to play the game in free roam as you are waiting for the game to find you a group. Defiance did this very easily....you signed up for a co-op and then play the game until it found you 3 other people to play with, then the game would automatically take you into the co-op when ready.
