Sociology Experiment

[jeremy34567]

i tested out a specific theory, gta players are dicks,but how bad?, i did 4 specific experiments, i kinda guessed what the outcomes would be and they are worst than expected.

 

 

#1: going up to a player(unarmed ) and see what they did

 

9 out of 10 i was shot or blown up

 

 

#2 going in a car(not a chrome adder) and try to lend to lost gta player a ride

 

9.5/10 my car was either blown up or shot

 

.5 some1 shot a rpg and missed what a troll

 

 

#3 being inactive for 30 sec at a time

 

within 5 sec i was killed

 

#4 rooftop rumble

 

4/10 did the mission successfully ( yes ppl do suck that bad)

 

 

 

i did these experiment at different times and sessions. My conclusion, obliviously people are dick but what caused it to be this bad i didn't remember gta 4 to be this bad, maybe its the squeakers or overconfident trolls. Your opinions?

it was for the test

[Unknown_33]

are you new to gta o?

[CrysisAverted]

Multiple times Iv'e been shot by people who were seemingly friendly as they would withdraw their gun...and then shoot me ass oon as I dropped my guard( i would of course not be armed either)

[silverforte]

Not sure what else you expected. The game and the way free roam is setup encourages people to be hostile toward each other. Plus. most people in free roam are assholes. If someone sees someone else come at them and they shoot as soon as they're able, it's a defense mechanism because most people attack other people with no provocation. It's kill or be killed. You can't go into a room full of total assholes and try to be polite. It doesn't work out 9/10.

[RajunCajun88]

Well the game is filled to the brim with kids and idiots who think it's all about pvp, what do you expect? My advice...Roll with a crew and stomp anyone who tries to be a funny guy.

Freeroam doesn't encourage people to be hostile towards each other....it gives you the option.

LET ME MAKE A GUESS...

YOU WERE PLAYING IN AUTO-AIM MODE

[Fail_At_GTA]

GTA 5 is a shoot first and spawn kill game. Don't bother trying to make friends with randoms unless you know they need help. I help low levels sometimes only to have them try to kill me later in the session and rage at me saying "wtf did I do 2 u fagget" when they fail and I kill them. Its the sad reality of GTA 5.

[Shake 'N Bake]

I feel like this is not accurate at all. I've played since launch and almost always if I roll up in a car honking the horn and presenting the passenger side door they usually enter or just don't. I'm rarely killed by players if I don't act like I'm going to run them over. Maybe because I've always been a higher level and maybe they just think that means I'm nicer?

 

But what do you expect to happen if you run up to someone? Thats like running up to a bear with her cubs in the wilderness, just not smart.

The OP also tried this in free aim but 9/10 there was no one else in the session Edited April 25, 2014 by Jolly SWAGman

i like turning the radio on to the country station to see if they change it while i'm the passenger.

 

9/10 wreck while trying to change it.

I can confirm. Switched over to a friends capture game in fee aim, went back into the lobby after and for about an hour after I was wondering why I could't find anyone else.

[Kachii]

Gta online is a kill or be killed environment, can't say I haven't shot seemingly nice players because it's the nature of the game.

Nostalgia will do that...it will gloss over the bad and highlight the good.

[The Angel King]

The sad truth is a majority of people are aholes. Real life, internet, video games, etc. The only difference is that the level of creepyness tends to go up over the internet.

[Relative007]

Well the results do not surprise me. Particular with the many ways around paying insurance for destroying PVs, most people do not seem to bother what/whom they are destroying/killing or how.

 

As for all this Free-Aim talk, I just tried it for the first time. The first person I approached in my vehicle in Free-Aim shot me while I was in my car from a motorbike; not really seeing a difference.

 

Might not have been getting blown up, but all I saw in FR was people driving around in cars shooting each other instead of doing the same on foot with Auto-Aim or in a tank. Just seems to make it to dangerous to be a pedestrian in Free-Aim. Will stick with it for a while longer and see what happens, not expecting much of a difference though.

 

First time I get killed at Martin's house after completing RR or blown up by a tank I am sure I will switch back to Auto-Aim.

[nspekta]

When I first finished the tutorial I was placed in a open session. Saw someone right beside me, I went to get in my car and was killed. Ever since then I pretty much shoot anyone.

How does one suck at rooftop rumble? All u need is a helicopter pick up...

[nmrgoodnightn]

I sometimes get low levels in my car, rob a store or catch a bounty with them, then take them somewhere secluded and kill them. Message them "Trust no one" I like to think I molded them into the serial killers you see today.

 

But I'have gone off the radar and find and punched people to death, when they respawn some of the time they wanna fist fight. Try that experiment.

 

How does one suck at rooftop rumble? All u need is a helicopter pick up...

1) I was in a game with 3 randoms, I called a helicopter by the time it landed someone blew up the document

 

2) We restarted and now i cant call in another helicopter cause of the cooldown. someone else calls one in and halfway to martin one of the random flew it into a building.

 

3) Started again i could finally call in another helicopter, almost at martin's and the guy with the document jumps out and dies on the dirt road.

 

Yes, people suck at rooftop rumble.

Okay, I LOLed at this...and I know at the time you weren't laughing, but now that it's behind you, you can see the humor, right?

lmao I was yelling at my tv I was so pissed, I just wanted to finish the damn mission.

[pandadoudou]

You should have tried "How many run by car on me while in passive mode ?"

 

NB : no need to check the "how many used +2 ammo clips on me while in passive mode?"

[RowanSane]

The only one that surprises me is the RR result. I've only started playing it recently but I've only had one group fail from a sample of about thirty - and that was a weird 'a professional has been killed' fail when there was only one red dot left. The same group succeeded next time. Even when we all spawned at martins house at the start everyone rolled with it....even when the guy with the doc jumps in my car so I have to drive....even when I then accidentally knocked the other two off their bike while cornering....just that one glitchy fail out of 30.

 

Edit: even....when the guy in an SUV smashed into my jester repeatedly until I drove away from martins and let him have the cut scene all to himself....

"Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get f*cked by dicks. But dicks also f*ck assholes: assholes that just want to sh*t on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can f*ck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they f*ck too much or f*ck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of sh*t that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us f*ck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in sh*t!" Team America

 

This is basically how I feel towards GTAO. Because if we don't kill the griefers, this beautiful game would quickly be covered in sh*t. It's Science

[lilmoonpie]

I used to be Captain Never Shoot First until something in me snapped one day and now I'm like "WHITE DOT! FIRE!" I would never shoot first and get shot first about 99 percent of the time. Now when I fire first, I always do think "wonder if that guy was gonna be friendly?" before thinking, "well, that's over now, I'm sure he's pissed, screw it."

 

I've met some really good people playing the game, though, by having some trust in other people. I've got "GTA friends" across the U.S. and even in Austria.

In my gtao travels so far randoms are nicer to you if you make a female character.

[OmegaEvolution]

Oh lord not another High School thread. First it was a psychological analysis by Lava Lamp, then that guy the other day wanted a philosophical perspective on players. Now we have a sociological take on players?

 

Whatever next, theological musings on tank griefers?
