Eurotrash Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) -snip- R* never said they'd support the singleplayer for years and years -snip- Just a couple of years would be fine for me Iirc, they did promise some SP dlc during 2014 - http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/09/substantial-gta-5-story-dlc-coming-in-2014 They also did promise Heists and PC release for 2014, so go figure it... They may have not promised to support the singleplayer at all (which isn't something we should expect, let's be fair). But they did promise a quality singleplayer experience that would blow our minds. Did they deliver? TIP: No, they did not.

woggleman Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I prefer SP but R are just adapting to the times. People who are only SP are pretty much dinasours at this point and if you don't keep up with the times you fail. Then I fail with GTA if that's the main direction Rockstar takes the series. If that happens, then you can consider my GTA days as they are now, over with. That's the day I stop taking an interest in the series. It's as simple as that for me. I understand why you feel that way but there are thousands of casual players to take your place and that is how R sees it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkadory Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I don't blame rockstar for all this online sh*t. I blame bungie and infinity ward, if it wasn't for halo and cod advanced warfare we may not be in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlitoDorito Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) In the gaming industry promises can't be made. Saying something is coming out isn't a promise, read the terms and conditions. Games devs, at any time, can pull anything, they could close down online permanently if they needed to for whatever reason, they could also say "sorry, can't be bothered with heists anymore, that SP DLC us and shawn fonteno mentioned? Consider it canned!" It wouldn't happen like that obviously, it would be more rockstar business speak. They never promised anyone would like the game either, it's a bit presumptuous to say such a thing. Promises don't apply to games. They didn't have to include an SP, the game would still break records. I wouldn't have bought it, but so many others would! It's a surprise we got anything added to SP at all, count your lucky stars and all that Edited February 21, 2015 by CarlitoDorito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making a statement to, or taking a stand against Rockstar. I am fully aware of the fact that they are a multi-million dollar company and that I'm just merely one of their millions of customers - I don't need to you to remind me of that. My threats and warnings to finally lose interest with GTA if it becomes more online-orientated have nothing to do with me getting my own back on Rockstar, or trying to get one over them. I don't care if I'm replaced by another GTA fan, and I don't care about how Rockstar view the situation. I'm just making a truthful point of what my reaction would be if future GTAs become online-dominated over SP. That's all it is.

Red DEAD Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Your single player got 3+ years of "love", five pre-release trailers and millions of sales. You can't play the same singleplayer over and over, that's why we have online. Move the f*ck on, OP. Can't play the Single Player over and over? I still play IV to this day...

FATMANYOU2 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I still think Online is empty, I've been sticking with single player lately. if they decide to add a true Cop's and Robbers, I'll consider more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyspanner Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm patiently waiting for a big DLC release this year, as they promised, something with the amount of content the Episodes had.

PlasmaFLOW Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I hope they add the supposedly leaked Cops and Crooks Gamemode short after GTA V's PC version gets released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyName'sJeff Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Except we are going to get a big SP DLC which says otherwise. What Rockstar is doing is called business, and I can guarantee you if you were in their position, you'd be focusing more on online because it's generating sh*t loads of profit for them and then move to SP later on. If you say no, you are clearly an utter tool and committing business suicide from the online perspective because the funds would even help with the extra SP development and online development as well. Business 101 guys, you might need to study this. So yeah, no one is getting f*cked over or anything, it's just you people thinking your entitled to extra work that Rockstar don't have to do, yet they are and always will.

Alvarez Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Because Rockstar thinks we would fill SP by ourselves when moddable PC version is out. And i guess they are right, but console folks will still fall short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtaultimatefanboy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 OP i agree with everything you said, but if you did put this thread in the Online section it could have been very different. sad but true Sorry, TOPIC FAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlitoDorito Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Online is really good, it isn't always getting blown up for no reason, it is sometimes, but that's people for you. There's always a tense moment when walking or driving passed another player. Is this guy gonna shoot me? Shall I get a gun out just in case? That sort of thing. You'll find online that a lot of players wanna do their own thing, or play with others, not everyone is driving around shooting people for no reason. I played with a couple of random people, we killed eachother a few times, had a car chase across half the map. It can be a lot of fun at times. With friends it's really good.

cp1dell Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) I used to despise the constant attention GTAO got by the devs, and I still don't like it that much, but it makes sense. Online was f*cked from the start. Heists were supposed to be in there at the beginning, but apparently the way they were implemented just didn't work out. Along with tons of connection problems, balancing issues, people losing data etc. There were so many things wrong with it, that Rockstar had to keep pampering it so it wouldn't fall apart. It's in a lot better condition than it was before. Rockstar has already told us what theirline up for DLC is. We've already got the High Life DLC, and Capture DLC. Now I can't wait until heists are released. Because after that is when they said they would put out the Single Player DLC.

Any chance we could load the Online resources (garages, models, that stuff) into Singleplayer?

cp1dell Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Not exactly sure. After the PC release people will probably be able to look into it some more. I remember I almost went insane trying to port some of the content from EFLC into the regular version of GTA IV I find it pretty crazy there hasn't been a mod pack of some sorts yet that combines all the content from IV+EFLC into one game, preferably TBoGT. I'm talking vehicles, side missions, storyline missions, weapons, peds etc. TBoGT has the majority of content, and the most recent gameplay/mechanics upgrades. Maybe when IV+EFLC is as old as the 3D era, we'll see a big merger mod just like III, VC, and SA has been getting. GAMIR_GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osho Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 People who are only SP are pretty much dinasours at this point and if you don't keep up with the times you fail.What dinosaurs?You're confusing the criticisms towards the "SP we got" with the MP. Forget about ONLINE. The SP experience itself, when it comes to their great single-player history ( and even other games ), failed to offer significantly a unique and a satisfying experience on its own. There's too much of the same boring filler like collectibles, absolutely pointless rewards, nothing in the name of proper optional side jobs/missions to enjoy outside the linear cinematic story, and too much emphasis on making the game a LOOKER than on the stuff they could have spent their time and money in making some quality missions to get a better replay for the game. The massive open world really fails to makes up with a satisfying bulk of an equally good amount of the gameplay. It is empty, boring and lacks inspiring moments, particularly outside the story, and poorly executed SP overall. All SP got are load of free crap and nothing worth to spend the money on. That's why we've such topics keep on coming to figure out the reasons. Its here when ONLINE is getting all the hate. Not so much because of its multi-player nature but more so by the fact that GTA:O got a lot more labor of love while denying some very excellent possibilities to the SP. And NO. Its not simply because they need to sell copies, or the fact that the multi-player aspect is an issue either. They didn't put up particularly enough efforts than the SP games we had and consider to be as important as MP, rather than just use the SP tag to sell a heavily focused MP game.
