Why do people kill others in free roam?

[Charles_Lee_Raye]

 

 

 

 

 

The real question OP is why do pacifists play GTA online ?

 

Also how else are we going to unlock the tints ? Sure as sh*t ain't going to happen by clicking your heels together 3 times.

It's not a case of being a pacifist, it's just annoying dying everytime you end up near another player.

Doesn't bother me personally - I just avoid it and accept the occasional death, but I can see why others get frustrated. I know two non-gamers in person who played GTA:V, but gave up in GTAO because people kept killing them in free roam.

 

Do deathmatch kills unlock tints? or just free roam?

Both but the problem is with the deathmatches. First of all theres no tint for your hands and all I ever quick join are melee matches.

Second 90% of the players are little girls so when you do get into a dm its forced and locked weapons. Again no tints are getting unlocked so therye pointless if you wanna unlock tints.

Third im lvl 282 so when I try hosting a dm people leave when they see owned weapons. Again because they are little girly b!tches. So still no way to unlock tints.

They probly think im going to use the minigun and rpg but im not until my ap pistol, auto shotty , and ak all have lspd tints first.

Now anyone I see afk in freeroam gets domed by my choice of weapon to unlock said tints. Ill also go after lower levels and anyone I feel has a disadvantage fighting me. Im not heartless if they cry too much I will stop amd move on.

You can thank all the sh!t user creations that plague the quick job because of lack of filters, or thank the pvssys that wont let people use their own weapons because theyre either lower level or just a plain b!tch. And thank yourself if youre part of those mentioned groups.

Thats why freeroam is such a killzone. Dont think ive played a straight up dm with owned weapons since dm creator was launched.

Oh and we really need to thank the guy who created Prison [email protected] Fight and really got the plague spreading..

Omg please someone kill it... People use forced only so you can have a fun, balanced em with no mini gun, RPGs and free roam f*cking bullsh*t.

My ass...little kids use it because they're too scared to play anyone with better weapons than them. Guess what? Your rank should count for something...I earned my guns, and I'm going to use whatever the hell I want. Why should I be limited just because you either suck or don't play as much?

 

I remember the early days of GTAO...you'd play a deathmatch and when you saw a Rank 60 join, you knew the game changed because that guy had a grenade launcher. Eventually, the RPGs would be introduced, and that changed things again...it was awesome. Now, it's pistols or fists only and deathmatches absolutely suck. I used to do nothing but DMs, now I never join them.

Thank you. I knew I wasnt alone on this. The worst part is that now noobs get the special carbine and bullpup. So theres absolutely no excuse for people not to man up and go fight.

 

When I was a noob I had a fvckin micro smg going against people with advanced rifles and grenade launchers. Its honestly pathetic to see what Dm has turned into compared to what it was.

 

Thankfully one simple feature could fix all this. Game filters. So when I join a Dm I can filter user vs rockstar created, owned weapons or locked/forced weapons.

 

So when I join the dm im put in with other people who actually want to have a Dm not run around melee fighting or weapon hoarding.

 

Yah its so fair to set forced weapons then get the better weapons first as thats who wins every time, the person who gets the superior weaponry.

Because if you kill people in real life, you'd go to f*cking jail.

And if you kill people in GTA you'd go to a leaderboard.

 

Does that answer your question?

[gizmonomono]

Because it's a video game? A third person SHOOTER... maybe...

[ktek01]

The game is not called "Clusterf*ck of Mass Murder",

I would so buy that game

Do you know what FREE roam stands for?

[STEEZYR]

If you moan about getting killed on gta you are just moronic pond scum. Its a game about crime, anything goes.

I know you can do anything in it I just find it retarded when you can do it in deathmatches and actually rank up and sh*t

[Infinite2324]

Because this GTA. Maybe you should try Sims.

Do you know what FREE roam stands for?It means nothing in this game because of restocking ammo to kill the assholes that won't let me mind my business, then the cops coming in and ruining the fight, possibly impounding your car afterwards, insurance, phone contact services, medical bills, Pegasus, etc. (Am I missing anything?)

 

Yeah, because there's loads of free in free roam. -.-

 

Got friend and crew sessions going on, then that's a different story. Public lobbies, and the things I've mentioned above apply to everybody who plays this game.

 

EDIT: Aside from the money, you're free to do whatever you want, as long as it's in the guidelines of the LSPD and the SA Sheriff's Department. Lmao, god forbid their appreciation of fun.

I know what OP's point is, but that wasn't the best way to ask it...?

 

It IS Grand Theft Auto, yeah. Not Great Teenage Assassination. Or Get That Asshole. Or Gonna Taste Awesome. But since stealing cars does nothing in GTA:O, besides:

 

A. Possibly getting you a bounty, for which some opportunist WILL claim.

 

B. Maybe a Wanted Level, which has LSPD distracting you while some asshat opportunist kills you because they can, or the pigs kill you when they catch you!

 

C. You make nearly $1,000 - $12,900 (varies by vehicle stolen then sold) but you can only do THAT every 48 minutes... Then some opportunist kills you outside LSC just to get your cash...

 

All theft does is leads up to a gunfight!

 

I miss "Friendly Free Roam" in GTA:IV. And RDR had a friendly free mode as well, where the worst that'd happen is the butthole on the Zonkey would blow up your horse for no reason with explosive rifle.

 

See the pattern? Yeah, you're gonna get killed stealing AUTOMOBILES in this game. But is that why the wife and I, plus most of the Crew, stay outta public rooms?

 

Nah. It's because the hackers, modders, squeakers, twankers & LazerLosers make public unbearable.

 

I'll stick to private lobbies and steal, sell, kill thousands of 5-Oh all I want and never have to watch my back.

 

I'm gonna blame R* for making this a COD style game, all PvP rewarded, in an effort to sell Shark cards... Their previous games were FUN in public. Everyone (well, almost!) had a good time and even some laughs, until we all have to spend money, real or virtual, to play. So %rockstar. LoL!!

 

Anyway, Have Fun, Y'all!!!

Because its....fun.

 

[Remote Six]

What's the real reason?

This game mainly attracts the following types of people:

 

1. Teenager (12-18) boys - This type has more testosterone and aggression then they have brains. They use this game you burn off some of that "kill energy".

 

2. Teenage targets - This type is your classic "loser". They are bullied and harassed at school so they come to the game to work out their frustrations since they dont have the balls to kill in real life.

 

3. Nobodies - This type is your typical person of any age who is under appreciated at thier job/school and feels powerless. They have no authority or respect in their real life so they go into the game to kill people and feel powerful, even if only for a little while.

 

4. Closet Psychopaths - This type is pretty self explanatory. They want to kill people in real life but are afraid of prison.

 

5. Socials - This type comes to the game to meet new people, make new friends and enjoy co-op activities. They enjoy shopping and things like that.

 

6. Anti-socials - Typically refered to as "griefers", this type comes to the game with the sole intent of harassing other players. They get enjoyment and pleasure out of ruining other peoples fun and making others angry. This type is also known for their use of game breaking glitches.

 

7. Adventurers - This type comes to the game to explore and generally just have their own fun. They drive offroad, do trick flying etc. This type will dabble in social aspects if they meet just the right person or if their friends are around.

 

8. Wannabe "gangstas" - This type is typically black and want their friends (and strangers) to think their "hardcore niggas" even if its only in a videogame. They tend to be loud and annoying on the mic and refer to their friends as "nigga" and white people as "crackas". This type also includes white people who try to emulate black ghetto culture ("wiggers").

 

9. Children - This type is an offshoot of the "nobodies" type. They come to the game because they want to feel powerful (or what they believe to be powerful) by driving, flying and killing.

 

10. Females - No one knows why women do anything

 

Socials and Adventurers dont tend to last long because the other types are FAR more numerous and are really annoying.

Your problem is obvious

^^^ That stereotype seriously doesn't make sense. At all.

 

I'm a griefer (occasionally), an adventurer & a social. That's a derp on your part, Remote Six.

1. because they had a gun

2. because I had a gun

3. they are not my friend / crew mate

4. I dont want to get kill first

5. I want to unlock tint for my weapon

6. because this is GTA:online

[jtattersalluk]

I would assume it's fun to them.

 

Other day I was in passive mode parked up my car and started walking to a grocery shop to buy some snacks for the next mission when I was hit by a black and green Zentorno and then ran over and killed. The respawn system basically put me right next to them so he ran me over again and was killed. I respawned further away this time and managed to climb on an skip, guy came over and started shooting at me but because I was passive mode it didn't do anything. He then puts a 9k bounty on me but that won't kick in unless I disable passive or change server, I then see him call 911 for a fire engine I hear it come and I phone-> quickjob and port away.

 

So I was in passive mode, minding my own business with no desire to attack or be attacked. Now I guess that whole exchange of interaction was fun to that person, me I thought it was rather pathetic. Still I would like to thank that person for the free $9k as my bounty wore off.

 

It's just part of the game.

Do you know what FREE roam stands for?You can be FREE to do something, but still be an asshole or douchebag for doing so. The freedom of being able to do something doesn't then absolve you of all appropriate titles, or people calling you out as such.

 

Oh, and I guess since you're FREE to kill people in FR, I'm sure he's FREE to call you a douchebag or whatever else he feels is relevant. Freedom is a two way street. Who knew?

 

Anyways, OP, I'm pretty sure the online community has made it abundantly clear, well before this thread, that the sole reason this game exists is to senselessly kill people in freeroam and f*ck everything else. Anything else that's not killing in freeroam is for pussies that should be playing The Sims or My Little Pony. You obviously have to apply antiquated Social Darwinism principles when playing a video game because logic.

 

Oh, and if you need further proof, just look at the name of the game. Apparently the words "Grand", "Theft", and "Auto" dictate that you must kill everything that moves. Otherwise people wouldn't so adamantly use "the game is called GTA for a reason" as a justification for doing so, right?

To everyone above, the point of a video game is to have fun. The FREE roam aspect I was referring to is the freedom to have fun, anyway you choose to, without breaking the rules of the game. And killing other players is encouraged, as made clear by the bounty system, armored trucks and such..... You're all asking for free roam and missions to be seamless, as opposed to separate, like they are now. But killing people in free roam is somehow frowned upon? You say go play DM if you want to kill someone. Well then you go play a race if you want to drive off road. It doesn't make sense. Why do anything in free roam if you can do it in missions.

To be clear, I rarely pick fights. I just find it stupid that someone would get mad for being shot. We have this great sandbox, with lots of potential for races, shootouts... basically having fun. When someone shoots me I see it as an invite to come and play.

If you don't wanna be shot, turn on passive mode, that's what it's there for.

Why do I kill other people? Because there isn't a whole lot else to do in public free roam. I do all the random events (Simeon car, armored car, etc.) when they appear, but otherwise I just go for pleasant drives or murderous rampages. Or revenge. You kill me, you'll get chased out of the lobby or trolled until you're far angrier than you should be.

kill or be killed
