What keeps you going in GTAO?

[LuCkySabeR]

getting a hooker in first person mode is quite a treat.

lolol that's so creepy....

 

OT: Deathmatches all day bro! Been dabbling in the creator recently.... Have one called "In the Pen Again" set in prison that's pretty sweet.

[soundism]

Creator.

 

My thirst for monetary gains and possessions was quenched a long time ago.

 

I like making fun jobs for my friends to play once or twice and then forget about.

I recently learned the ins and outs of the creator (stacking ramps, placing objects in mid air, etc.)

 

I would LOVE more options for actors, or like funmw2 mentioned above.. The ability to set up scenarios. At this point, having the co-op mission creator would have me back playing like it was October 2013 again.

[Killbook]

Roleplay, really. I like to give my character back stories for every outfit. I'll change clothes and give my character a backstory based on those clothes. I'm a level 80 something right now and I dropped every single gun in my inventory. (Imagine how much my ammo is once I buy it all back). I made a rule for myself that I'm only allowed to use guns I can't drop and guns that I pick up. So, I did this and went to every place you could find one. So far, I got a carbine rifle, assault rifle, pump shotgun, sawed off shotgun, musket, fire-rocket launcher, grenades, sticky bombs, gas can, pistol, combat pistol, and AP pistol (I have no idea where I got it from) as well as a auto shotgun, a regular sniper, and a uzi. It is annoying when free-roam people come after you too kill you but if you're good enough, it's not too hard to defend yourself or you can just simply run away. I started fresh with my character and I refuse to buy ammo. My ammo is what I pick up. I'll event hit up gang attacks for ammo crates or call in merryweather. I change garages often based on my character. My character used to be the only white boy, sort of like that white guy in brick mansions, who was forced to be tough and had to work his way up to joining random contact missions to get money. Now, I moved out of the hood and got my trusty Musket. I now use the musket for all of my kills, both NPC and non-npc. I go around to gang attacks and try to complete them for ammo or I do random contact missions all with my musket. It's a real challenge, trust me. It really makes you work for your kills and to complete missions without dying. I also have a interest in muscle cars so I collected them and store them in a separate 10 door garage while gaining money to modify them and do occasional races only if voted for after the mission screen. I also take random civilian like cars and drive around like a civilian and go to the bank after every few missions and deposit my money only through there. Never through my phone. It sucks because there is a LSC glitch that keeps my crew emblem on my car and even if I remove it, it still stays. So, that's what I do online. I make it a challenge for me by only using the Musket and the regular pistol to get kills and use muscle cars to complete missions and gain money to modify those muscle cars while going for gang attacks and taking the ammo crates or heading to non-official gang attacks, the ones where they randomly attack you just for looking at them side-ways, to make my presence known there. It's fun going up to a gang banger, smoking with a police baton in my hand, then whacking both gang members and running to the nearest cover and fight for my life with only a musket. The thing that keeps me playing is the challenges I set for myself.

Those little moments. The best example was when I was trying to get a bounty in a buzzard and he got me, but was close enough to land that the buzzard came down without a scratch. He then proceeds to walk right into the blades, so I got the bounty.

 

A couple of days ago I put my Zentorno in front of Simeon's before the HPV got there, which then proceeded to turn into a war with most of the lobby somehow, which was entertaining as hell to watch. Had two players in a buzzard chasing after me near Tinsel. Just kept going around the block again and again, then I saw a lazer in the distance and put a bounty on them. Distracted them long enough that the lazer wrecked them.

 

It's the little bits of randomness that keep me interested.

I just found out that you can buy Ammunation stocks in single player, buy ammo and things in ammunation in Online, and make money in singleplayer by buying back the Ammunation stocks.

You mean sell stocks, right? You're not supposed to buy more stock after the stock price goes up. That's hella risky.

 

IDK bout you dudes, but I got a sh*tload of Obey stock.

Yup. Already made 200M on Frank.

something like this needs it's own thread

You don't wanna know the stuff I do below buddy, trust me.

 

*raises eyebrow with interest*

[ugotsmoked]

I like to shoot people and blow sh*t up.

[JON22]

Turning it off.

 

Seriously bored after a year now. Used to be fun glitches that kept me going. But now I'm bored. Also R* locking the Titan/Cargobob was a dick move. Bored of doing missions or doing nothing in free roam. Also more connection errors and fecking clouds. Especially today as it's raining here in reality Really hate clouds.

[richard1997jones]

I'm at level 95. I own every gun with max ammo, I own all the clothes and the nicest apartment. I also own 20 cars, a plane and a few boats. All of the money I have made is legit. My ambition is to hit level 100. That's what keeps me going.

Don't look too close. It will get in your eyes.

[gpm45]

Good question, I still play the game a fair bit but I am not sure why other than to plan survivals just for something to do at night. It makes sense to think I should have lost interest in it but I still find it fun to play. I might start losing interest if nothing new comes out but if we get a decent update soon that will keep me returning for quite some time.

[Piecekeeper]

Buying, collecting and modifying cars. Flying around in a cargobob spotting cars and stealing or selling them, or just rounding up a few guys and trying to stack things up on rooftops and creating massive domino chain reactions and other stunts and shenanigans with physics.

 

Now the Cargobob is locked, the garage space is restricted, etc etc. So much for freedom lol, the game is sh*t.

 

I haven't even fired it up since the hipster update it's f*cking boring.

I have a blast every time I get on. What keeps me going is all the random PvP that goes on in Free Roam. Missions do bore me, but I play GTAO to kill people in Free Roam so I don't do much missions. Only here and there just to keep some cashflow. It's the moments when I am cruising around searching for modded gang cars, when players start heading towards me to try and kill me ending in a huge chase/gunfight, resulting in my enemies leaving server after I've shown them I'm no easy target. lol That's when I go out hunting.. being the hunter/hunted is always fun.

There are no open world games out there to compete with this online game,it's absolutely unique,I've played everyday since launch and still not had 2sessions the same.I play every mission,join Deathmatches,all different ,especially player created,havnt even done parachuting,golf ,tennis,shooting gallery,capture much,but still not bored.The only other game this year I enjoyed was Watchdogs. I have to mention street fighting ,which is a massive art in itself,whereby the whole of Los Santos becomes a random battlefield,with unique battles between players who probably have never even met before,and may never meet again...

[8up local]

honestly the only real thing that still keeps me going other than having fun with randoms is doing up vehicles anymore.

[sportbikepilot369]

I'm hoping for a white xmas

[H a y w i r e]

Meeting cool people & missions.

[ChrilLe]

Killing players constantly.

 

Especially when it's grown men that starts crying and bitching over the chat.

 

Any tear is delicious.

Stunting on my ruffian.

[xoC18H21NO3xo]

I'm kind of bored. We need perks beyond 135. I have a 1002 & a 158. I tried not to rank up my second character too fast, but it's kind of impossible. Maybe they should unlock the third character?

 

Right now, I'm being a free mode scrub. There's one semi-cool thing going on PS3: modded menus are handing out the cash. The only problem: we can't spam muggers, bounties and air strikes like in the billionaire days.

 

I realize my boredom is my fault & choice, as I spend every waking moment on the game and I have not yet explored LTS or those raid/grabs fully.

[Jerking For Soup]

freeroam battles is the thing that keep me going...

 

that and the LSPD gun tints.

[manta5x]

Just moved my exercise bike in front of the TV while playing gta5 lol fun times and sweat using my character on a bike while pedaling in real life.

[Rare Echelon]

The dream... the impossible dream...

 

HEISTS.

 

But actual: I'm just curious as to what else R* has planned for Online in the next three months where the game will finally be available on all platforms. Surely then they'll devote their time to the much-anticipated Story Mode extensions, and pump out a few more content updates for Online -- with the possibility of paid content/a substantial increase in quality.

 

If the rumours are to be believed, then Online Heists are only weeks away. Depending on how they turn out, I may be persuaded to persist with Online intently for the foreseeable future.

[TeammateHelper]

Now that I really think of it, the community of GTA makes me feel like I'm a combination of Einstein and Mother Teresa by comparison.

 

I like being a way better person relatively.
