"This is why we can't have nice things", do we all agree o

[MrAnimorie]

This is something I've been saying for the longest. People in this community are ungrateful brats. Always wanna find something to cry about, yet they fail to realize that 1. DLC is free. 2. No one is forcing you to buy cash cards. 3. Things can't be fixed in a day. 4. You're playing online for free depending on your service provider (Free on P33). All of these gifts on a spectacular game and yet you still find simple things to bitch about. It's incredible. It's a massive open world game, OF COURSE THERE'S GONNA BE A CLIPPABLE SURFACE OR TWO! There are only but so many testers to find these things It's an open world online game, of course people will kill you, they're assholes. So find an external source such as this forum or many others, make friends and play with them. Damn near every bitch and moan complaint can be simply solved, you just wanna poke your ass out and have them force feed you a solution rather than you solve it yourself.

They should charge for all future DLC and release more of it in a steady stream. They should also charge monthly subscription to reduce the amount of under 18s playing the game and again help pay for more DLC more often.

Yeah....And those who can't access PS Store can go f*ck themselves, right?

they're multiple ways to access THE store, it's not r*, problem if you cant afford good connection.

 

This is what the Op means, the community complains,glitches,have bad connnection all of which are delaying heist

 

PS Store is not available in certain countries. Connection has nothing to do with it.

 

In fact, all Rockstar games require at least 2MBPS. I know because I got kicked out for the whole of last year because of my amazing 0.8 MBPS.

well that's nobody problem but your own, like my mother always said.

Many countries have open arms to immigrants from anywhere so long as they take the proper steps. Don't make excuses.

[hsthompson]

Ha! No. As long as R* makes my car do a 180 no matter what I hit, NPC vehicles that aims for my car during chases, police cars with super car powers until I'm the driver and other BS glitches in their favor I'll take advantage of many glitches as possible.

 

No. I'm not Se7en nor am I anyone like that. But when a billion dollar company punishes everyone for what a handful of baddies do then that billion dollar company is in the wrong. Sounds like to me if individuals such as ourselves can figure out how to glitch these programs then maybe R* needs to hire employees that knows what they are doing.

 

Charging an insane amount of money for toys while at the same time paying very little for jobs so one can buy those toys, makes one have to play this game for hours a day. Some of us do not have the time and even more do not want to use the Shark Card system which was orchestraded out of pure greed.

 

I'll continue to play GTA but more than likely I'll move on to the games that are designed solely for the new gen systems that will floor the GTA series.

[ll Noble 6 ll]

Off topic:

The suggestion that someone should move for a better video gaming signal shows insane levels of cultural ignorance and stereotypical "American" rudeness. Don't insult people for living where they do. That's just... barbaric (but then again, we are talking about players of GTA, so there's that - and yes, I include myself in that description). There is a reason most of the world thinks of Americans as self-aggrandizing arseholes and this sort of conversation only proves them right.

 

On topic:

It is entirely possible to have a good time in Free Mode with other players. I have done it on several occasions. Yeah, I've been killed and griefed by others. Like it or not, that is part of the Free Roam experience. Get tired of it? Switch lobbies. Not hard. But there've been lots of times when I've been tooling around, watched someone pull up to me in their vehicle (and pulled a weapon and aimed in case they attacked) only to have someone get out and start hand signaling (or switching cars non-violently), leading to hours of goofing off by jumping hills parkouring around buildings on the beachfront, bmx'ing at the jump park, riding the rollercoaster (while getting shot at by someone who didn't see the enjoyment and had to shoot things just because), jumping breakers on the Sea Sharks by the pier, etc.

 

I have a few folks I've added as friends because of free roam. They're rare, but they're fun to hang out with and I have a randomly accumulated crew that are a blast to hang out with on missions and races. They don't troll one another. They shoot each other at random because it's funny at times.

 

But the hour long 5-star shootout at the warehouse the other day, the random goofoffs at the beach, and the occasional visit by someone coming to see why four or five people are hanging out together on the map without killing each other regularly (who get taken out in a hail of gunfire if they start shooting at any one of us) makes the game entirely enjoyable.

 

You don't like the way the game plays? Find a better way to play it. Don't bitch about what you can't change. R* has folks who watch this forum (most of the R* Verified races came from the Approved Races thread, after all), but they're not there to make your wishes come true.

 

Play the game as it is. It was put there for you to do so. Make of it what you will. Bitching won't get you anywhere.

 

Trolls, have at this. I don't care. Your thoughts don't change my mind. Your trolling comments are taken as just that, and promptly ignored.

 

Folks. Play the game as it was presented. It could be better, but it is what it is. If you want to make suggestions on how to better it, do so on the right site (which isn't this one).

Some of us do not have the time and even more do not want to use the Shark Card system which was orchestraded out of pure greed.

R* has stated that the Shark Card system was put out so that they could put out DLC for free, so as to maintain the largest group of potential players, rather than differentiating everyone based on the number of DLCs they'd paid for. If it was for greed, you would only be able to play with the folks who'd paid for the EXACT DLC that YOU have paid for. Didn't buy the Valentine's Day pack? Can't play with folks who are wearing the clothes, driving those cars. They'd have to manage extra servers, just to maintain that delineation. Too much of a hassle. Better to give it out free, let everyone have it, and offer OTHER means to get those micro-transactions that the industry has already proven WORK to raise the bottom line.

 

Think of it this way - the "cheaters" who spend their actual cash on digital dollars in GTA are actually funding the DLCs for the rest of us. THANK them. Their tank-griefing allows us to get a DLC every now and then at NO CHARGE. Whether you think there should be more stuff in each DLC is up to you, but the fact is, R* is giving it out free to maintain the largest player pool possible.

 

As I mentioned before - if you don't want to spend real cash on digital currency, DON'T. But don't think for a moment that it was just greed that made R* put out the Shark Cards. If it was JUST greed, they would have made us pay for EACH AND EVERY DLC that has come out - and they haven't.

Yeah, because I'm a f*cking millionaire and moving to another country just because I don't have access to a certain service that I'll probably never use is for free.

[dzian]

 

"This is why we can't have nice things": do we all agree on this, right?

 

Warning: this is an opinion and is a "long" text. If you joined a forum wanting to read posts of only one paragraph and reading is not your ally then maybe Imgur and Twitter are for you.

I started with that meme since it's a nutshell of the (in my honestly honest opinion) biggest problem about GTA Online. And here I am, claiming that it's the community the doom of the game.

 

Rockstar promised that GTA Online is a constant world that will be growing up and adding new stuff in order to keep the it fresh, it's their long-time project. Of course, since Rockstar said that and watching what the game is today you can ask yourself if they were scamming people or the micro transactions took the best of Rockstar Games.

 

You can see it in the trailer of GTA Online, the open game is showed as a PvE game rather than a extended version of Nuketown. That was Rockstar's expectations, if they were aiming their ideas to that, no wonder today the game hardly adds a new feature.

 

We have to give credit to the devs, they are doing partially what they said... for a DLC era where you have to pay a few bucks to get a camo in a gun watching them releasing DLCs (or updates, that doesn't matter) for free is something we don't see every day. We agree on that.

 

But, what about the other part they promised? What part, can you ask... heists, the casino? Yes and no, I'm talking about the part they avoid because the worst gaming community in the last years: features. I get it, it's nice to have new vehicles/clothes/masks every two months but it gets old very fast. We need (yeah, otherwise the game will "die" soon) things to to instead of things to buy. I don't think Rockstar was talking about clothes/cars when they talked about keeping the game in constant evolution.

 

Micro transactions are what Rockstar needs to keep releasing free content, right? Well, adding features is near impossible because bad luck decided that the worst communities went to GTA. You know what community I'm talking about: the community that pays a few bucks for a camo, the same people that want everything easy, the ones worried about rank and k/d like a life/death matter.

 

And we get to the point that started the thread... this is why we can't have nice things.

 

It's not only about having a good idea and adding it to the game as a new feature. Think about something you'd like to see in the game, whatever you want. While you think in how implementing that idea I bet you found ways it could be exploited easily and will cause a gamebreaker glitch. Even if you don't find it we're talking about the same community that managed a way to glitch money by the rearrangement tool in the garage.

 

It's a fact and we saw it on the Flight School update: one day and 95% (so to speak) of the players started to complain about a new feature being boring. It wasn't my favorite but I recognize it felt good to have something else to do. Less than 24 hours and Se7en and /r/gtaglitches had ways to exploit the Flight School, it was simply ridiculous. Same for heists, people will be more concerned about ways to exploit it than if the content is good.

 

This is where I blame youtubers. It's not like if people needed money in-game, youtubers spread that for the sake of doing it... after all they only need to read a text tutorial and make it a video, and of course... as everyone want to be the first one it ends with 100 videos of the same glitch.

 

Conclusion: people itself is preventhing this game from growing up. More than console limitations, game limitations or network limitations (another problems too) the main problem is and will be the community. After thinking about it, Rockstar finally has a stable game, adding new features will release the glitching chaos again. It's just my input and hope it can be discussed.

 

The thing is the promise of a ever evolving gameworld hasnt happened at all and it is almost impossible to make it happen as nothing a player does is persistant. look at the basic gtao setting. a year and a half ago gtao was said to be set 6 months before gtav. here we are a year and a half later and its the very same day in los santos as it was back then. the game world is exactly the same. time in los santos hasn't even moved 1 day closer to the storyline of gta v in a year a half. the game world is static and dull.

 

micro transactions. the problem many players have with them are that they destroy the value of gameplay. because everything in game revolves artound money and money can be bought. so it takes you 4 hours to grind half a million. or you can go and buy half a million for £5 or there abouts. that basically says every hour you play is worth £1.25 and as such the game isn't rewarding to play.

 

microtransactions themselves aren't a bad thing it's just the way there implemented in many games. micro transactions should never change or alter the flow of gameplay for example. any transactions that do are bad and often seen as paying to win. in gtao many the say the objective is to become rich. that can be done instantly with a cash card you win...

 

that said if instead of cash cards gtao did transactions like custom car plates or something. it wouldn't have caused so much issue, paying £0.39p to register a custom number plate or something instead of screwing with ifruit wouldnt have been a bad microtransaction as it wouldn't have any effect at all on the flow of gameplay... the same could be said with other things such as player outfits and gun tints etc.

 

as for free dlcs and stuff it's really irrelivent. they're not dlc's there basic updates with a few new cars and stuff. if i didn't have high life for example the only difference would be i couldn't buy a jester and you could. wouldn't seperate us as players because we'd still all be doing the same content and jobs.

 

then comes glitches and exploits. the problem here is not so much that glitches and exploits exist it is the lack of any degree of punishment on players that abuse them. if rockstar was much stricter and came down heavier on glitchers and exploiters in the opening months of gtao banned them blocked them etc etc then people would be a lot less willing to abuse glitches and excploits today. however as rockstar never takes action against these gliters / exploiters there's really no detterent at all and that is why it is such a huge problem.

You hardly have to be a millionaire to move to another country. Getting some form of citizenship is more of an educational process than a financial one and you can rent an apartment. The point I'm making is you're not going to change how a multimillion dollar corporation does business but you can change your options based on location. While it may not be the EASIEST solution, it is one. People move all the time because they don't like certain things about where they live. Each person just draws their personal line in a different place.

 

Don't say it's dumb because you don't like it. Just say you don't like it. If you WANT A SERVICE and it is not provided where you live, you have the choice to move somewhere where the service is available. No one said it would be easy or free but it is still an option and you cannot deny that. Whether or not you choose to pursuit it is entirely up to you but if you have a solution to a problem and choose not to act on it because you have some sort of problem with it, that's no ones fault but your own.

That's your choice. However because YOU CHOOSE not to put yourself in a position to get what you want, you are the one responsible for not getting it. If I lived in a dry county and wanted to drink, I'd have to either not drink, leave town to drink and come back, or move. Choosing not to move or leave town would mean it is a result of my own choices not being able to drink. Because it is a result of my own choice, I would have nothing to complain about other than my own decision making skills and where I weighed my wants compared to what I know.

 

This situation is the same only on a larger scale. If you choose not to do something about a problem you have when you CANdo something, no one is to blame but yourself.

 

I'll spell it out:

If you want a service that is unavailable you have options

-speak to the company to get them to change their services

-move somewhere where the service is available

-do nothing and go without

 

Obviously M$/Sony isn't going to change their international structuring for one person, so that leaves the other two options. Wrap your head around that because you're clearly not understanding the very basic logic here

[BigJoe_1]

I completely agree. OP, This has got to be one of the best topics I've read in a good while.

 

The reason online is in the state it's in, is right in front of us. R* had a vision that couldn't quite make it into reality (at least not right now), they tried to make a game that would appeal to the casual gamer yet rub off on so much more people. GTA Online is in it's own rights a great game but some of the communities that play it make the game seem like one of the worst games you could ever play, I'm talking of course about that abnoxious group of people who, reverse kill, money glitch, yell racist comments down the mic, drive hideous cars and generally ruin everyones online experience.

 

Take me for example. I'm 24, I work in a garage, go to uni, I have my own place, a girlfriend, quite a few friends and one of my favorite subjects is autosport and cars. Now with all that out the way, sometimes after a day of uni and/or work or just a day out with people I like to come home and play a little GTA Online. My attitude varies with this game depending on the aspect of it that I'm thinking of.Sometimes I might want to do some racing/off roading, I might want to do some free roam bounty hunting, do some activities like tennis or darts, or just do some missions. Before I come on I'm looking forward to it and expecting to sit and relax after a long day, however most of the time it's the exact opposite.

Whenever I want to do racing the lobby is filled with idiots that love to ram and pit you, if it's bounty hunting most of the time they're either spamming sticky bombs or the they leaves as soon as they realise I'm coming to kill them for the $5,000 on their head, barely anyone does any of the activities so finding someone to even play this part of the game with is extremely boring and when it comes to missions I get bored after 5 minutes or so since I've already done most of them.

 

Now compare that to what Rockstars initial plans were for online. It was supposed to be a community where people do everything from play tennis to robbing conveniance stores for a measly $1000/heisting banks for millions. Instead of that we have god mode users killing everyone they see and people glitching millions all from a single car. Racing, instead of players fighting (out turning/out speeding) for first place is literally a demolition derby in the street, Bounty hunting is supposed to be one player trying to outsmart others so that they can survive the price on their head when in reality it's who can kill them before they realise they have a bounty on them and leave the session (either that or it's who can dodge the stickys and get that lucky headshot), Barely any players are even aware the there is tennis/darts/arm wrestling in the game so it's as if it isn't even there half the time and most of the time instead of players teaming up to hijack the oil truck it's a bunch of players driving to the parking lot tossing a few stickys to kill all the guys and then taking the briefcase to the guy occasionally doesn't even turn off his phone to thank you for doing him a huge favour.

 

Don't get me wrong this game still has lots of potential, however that potential can't be reached until R* figures out how to add all the good stuff without messing up other stuff but still keep other players happy.

 

However there is still things R* could do to keep us entertained until they drop the big update, they could:

 

• (It's already mentioned above) Make the train occasionally carry goods that are being guarded by Merryweather guards.
• Add stuff like lift kits and working snorkel pipes to make rally racing actual rally racing and not just some off road run where 4x4's get dominated by a dirt bike.
• Give us more detailed missions, missions that are as long as LSC (Los Santos Connection) and not just "steal the coke" and "Kill the Professionals".

There are many more than this but it's up to you to decide what you would like.

I'm the only one of my friends that I know who have joined GTAForums, and I can vouch for all of us here who have limited expectations because GTA Online is used as an open-world deathmatch simulator.

 

It's frustrating to say the least when you're expecting to run into somebody who doesn't instantly open-fire as soon as you're within a 0.5mile radius of them.

 

How many of you guys have entered a public lobby without the occurance of heated teens, kids too young for the game and outright pests trying to shred every grain of skin your character has with an AK? I have no idea why I approach everyone with a fair view of thinking "maybe this guy will be okay?", "maybe this guy is a friendly"; its a lost cause.

 

The only way we can realistically learn is by having Rockstar monitor the game. Obviously no-one is going to watch whether players are killing people with a realistic reasoning, since every other person is there to try and ruin someone's day. Private lobbies are the way forward and it's going to take a lot more than the current attitude of "wait and see" a change, when it's already broken.

 

An example of this, I do not kill people for the need to quench my thirst. I was on for a couple of hours, and I saw three people in the street, approached them in passive, threw them friendly gestures, such as salutes, thumbs up, etc. and within 10 seconds they were hammering my car to a pulp, whilst I stood there. Secondly, I approached someone with a bounty, killed him, carried on with my business, and this guy was so infuriated that he spent $10,000 putting a bounty on me to claim $9,000 back after chasing me all around the map. Who are these people? And why are they trigger-happy retards? Because they follow the norm of a broken community.

*raises hand* o/

 

yes, it is sad how the open-world is a deatchmatch simulator, like it has been said here the trailers showed a more friendly like Online multiplayer. I have already sent a message to Rockstar asking for them to make friendly and hardcore lobbies, just like in Red Dead Redemption, I really do hope they listen to me and all the others who want that feature and I am glad to see many people here who share this very same opinion.

I'm the only one of my friends that I know who have joined GTAForums, and I can vouch for all of us here who have limited expectations because GTA Online is used as an open-world deathmatch simulator.

 

It's frustrating to say the least when you're expecting to run into somebody who doesn't instantly open-fire as soon as you're within a 0.5mile radius of them.

 

How many of you guys have entered a public lobby without the occurance of heated teens, kids too young for the game and outright pests trying to shred every grain of skin your character has with an AK? I have no idea why I approach everyone with a fair view of thinking "maybe this guy will be okay?", "maybe this guy is a friendly"; its a lost cause.

 

The only way we can realistically learn is by having Rockstar monitor the game. Obviously no-one is going to watch whether players are killing people with a realistic reasoning, since every other person is there to try and ruin someone's day. Private lobbies are the way forward and it's going to take a lot more than the current attitude of "wait and see" a change, when it's already broken.

 

An example of this, I do not kill people for the need to quench my thirst. I was on for a couple of hours, and I saw three people in the street, approached them in passive, threw them friendly gestures, such as salutes, thumbs up, etc. and within 10 seconds they were hammering my car to a pulp, whilst I stood there. Secondly, I approached someone with a bounty, killed him, carried on with my business, and this guy was so infuriated that he spent $10,000 putting a bounty on me to claim $9,000 back after chasing me all around the map. Who are these people? And why are they trigger-happy retards? Because they follow the norm of a broken community.

You're all morons. You're all post hungry achievers. You're all glory hunters. None of you are gamers, none. Almost all of you are children that own gaming devices, not gamers.

 

I know this for I'm part of a gaming community that spans 30 years.. I'm a gamer....You are not a gamer, you're a child.

Define gamer.

 

EDIT: Dictionary definition of "gamer" is someone who plays games, yeah?

I also find it sad that pretty much every time someone mentions the fact that the community is overly hostile, there are always a few of those guy who are like "ITS GTA U R SUPPOASD 2 B A DIKK 2 EVERBADY Y DOANT U GO PLEY MY LIL PONEY ONLINE U PUSSEYZ" or something along those lines.

 

Can't there be a balance? Some hostile guys in lobbies make it interesting and the chases can be fun... But as it is it can basically be broken down into:

85% shoot at you as soon as they see you

10% run away from you because they think you are coming to shoot at them

3% aren't hostile but have no interest in interacting with you and will just ignore you

2% will appear friendly and seem willing to "play" together although not always in a constructive way

Freeroam warriors don't want balance. They want a wat with everyone to prove they're best.

 

They're like statfreaks, but instead of overall stats, it's just current stats inside that specific lobby.

Try to steal AI tank with cargobob because it seemed fun when some other guy on the forums did it, go to zancudo and about to airlift tank, everyone disconnects...

 

I already made my daily 100k and was gonna get off after having a little fun with the tankbob, thanks R*

I admit I didn't read every post, or even most of them, but as far as the "people who do exploits are ruining this game" argument goes, not that I support glitches/exploits, but come on, that's what people do. No matter how well the devs made the game, someone will find a way to manipulate it to gain an advantage and it's not limited to video games (fun read: http://www.cracked.com/article_20807_5-insane-ways-people-trolled-system-and-won.html).

 

And if R* really wanted to put an end to the constant PvE atmosphere of Free Roam that would give us the option to join lobbies where players can't kill each other or were invincible and this could not be killed by conventional means... like in GTA 4 online.

 

You can blame the players all you want but I personally blame R*. There are dozens of fun, easy things that could give us to keep the game fun and interesting exploits be damned, but many of those fun things could/would interfere with their micro transactions so we're not getting them (like a mission creator).

I didn't knew that playing videogames doesn't make you a gamer.

I didn't knew that playing this game in peace means I'm not a gamer.

[MrAnimorie]

So goes my ultimate saying about this community. Filled with elitist man children. People who treat a game like it's destiny, like it's their real life calling. It's a game, it's a break out of reality, not a testosterone enduing thrill ride, and if it is that to you then please...go outside. Thinking you're better than someone else because of a K/D ratio or some simple sh*t like that. In all reality, it's a game. Chill. You are not a thug, you are not some mob boss. This is a video game. Either it be a casual gamer or a hardcore gamer they are gamers nonetheless, thinking you're better than that person because you have either played more games or have a higher score means really...you are a child with nothing better in your life. This is a video game, that I play because I enjoy video games. Taking it seriously belittles yourself.

You need to unplug. Go outside and get some sunlight.

 

Take GTAO public lobbies for what they are. Free roam is an everlasting deathmatch filled with spoiled kiddies obsessed with their KD ratio. And they will take every cheap shot to pump their KD up.

 

It is not the Matrix were people live out their lifes in total ignorance. If you want to play GTAO like the Sims go invite only. I go invite only to enjoy my virtual riches and exploring things. Sometimes I invite some friends to do missions.

 

Co-op minded players you meet during missions and survivals. Certainly not in free roam. They are out there. If you insist on venturing into FR band up in a crew. When you work together you kill the individual griefers with ease.
