I'm fairly new to the whole concept of internet forums for games. I was just wondering why so many people here feel the need to complain about anything and everything (yes, I realise I've joined in with a bit of a moan too) and take this game so seriously.

The taste police are back in force. I drive a silver VW Golf in real life. So in a GAME (game being the key word here people), instead of driving a silver thing, I'm going all out on cars with bright stupid colours. Weird combinations, the lot.

Sometimes I wear a suit and drive a racing green Stinger with a silenced pistol. Other times I drive a bright purple and yellow Zentorno with bright green rims with a gold silenced shotgun that makes no sense in just a pair of running shorts. Something I'd never do in real life but quite funny in a fake cartoon world of pixels that means nothing.

People moan about being killed, moan about their pv being destroyed, moan about anything that slightly annoys them (again, I realise the irony of moaning myself).

A lot of people treat this like a job with a real economy. There is no economy.

It's a jumped up arcade game. It has always been that way. People moan about what the NPC's are saying, the crazy drivers etc. It's satire, it's what every GTA has been about.

If a lot of fellow forumers relax, take a breath and play the game as a game where almost anything is possible then everyone will have a better experience and there will be less moaning and flaming of Rockstar and less of these types of threads on here.

I'm off to annoy the taste police in my sh*tty cars, bye!

If you think this place is bad, which it isn't, go hang out at the R* support forums and you'll see fanboy elitist extremists.

I see your point at car costuming, but a purple/yellow zentorno would hurt my eyes. Please never join my lobby with that car. :p

 

And in general, you're damn right OP, people do take this game too serious. Just like most people take life too serious.

Exactly the point I was making in the "bad taste" thread.

 

People do audacious things in GTAO because they can.

Hey OP, welcome, let me be the first (or hundredth) to tell you your choice in car colors, customizations, clothing, etc are all sh*t and everyone on this forum will take every chance to let you know that. People are gonna bitch about anything and everything on here because this is their only real outlet and they are just hoping to find someone as jaded and delusional as they are (or start a flame war)

 

All you have to do is not care what anyone on this forum thinks. If we all fell in line with the general forum consensus, we would all be driving around free aim lobbies in Pantos (not chrome, of course) doing friendly quick actions to any players we come across.

 

Don't give a f*ck what people think and you'll be okay. Take this forum for what it is, a place to gain knowledge and a form of entertainment. You might even meet some cool and funny people along the way (doubtful).

 

Anyway welcome OP.

 

 

And watch out for the trolls!

If paramedics were paid the same amount as footballers then I'd get rid of the Golf in a heartbeat.

You could have at least modded it into a Ferrari look alike...

OP drives a chrome ambulance with dollar wheels irl. He's first on the scene, and first to be seen!

Lol, that part was a joke. Just a jab at the forum in general. I'm sure we've all met some cool/funny people on here at some point

If you think this section is bad, then good luck in the GTA:SA and GTAV forum section.

Or this site itself, good luck with deviantART's forums.

This forum is not bad compared to the Rockstar Support forums. That place will get you before you even breath.
