Session or lobby?

[AmyStone]

I've noticed that most people refer to a session as a lobby. I thought the lobby was the entrance to a session - like when you're picking outfits etc before someone launches a heist etc. Which is it?

[RANDOMv2]

I have always thought as the spawning in point as the lobby and whatever job or mission you join as a session. Sightseer is done in a lobby and missions or Last Team Standing is in a session.

Well the game calls it a session. I'd go with that.

Dis. I call sessions freeroam. I call lobbies the screens where players join you for a job.

well technically on some moments you can go straight to a so called adversary mode from the game menu....

I really do not bother with the technicalities TBH

[Rewdalf]

"Players are voting to kick you from the session."

 

Does that answer your question?

Doesn't really matter too much. Though if you go round calling a wheeled bike a Vortex, now that's a different story. (Aimed at Rockstar; not players).

I call it the Zentornex...

 

Or, er... The Vortorno...

 

Still like the bike. It just unjustly stole a much-loved vehicle's name, like the Windsor.

Personally, I call it a clusterf*ck.

I refer to an extended time of continuous, uninterrupted game play as a 'session', but I use 'lobby' to refer to free roam (e.g. public lobby, invite lobby) or a job lobby (where you wait until the job launches) itself.

 

Personally, I call it a clusterf*ck.

 

However, I like Coleco's terminology better^

rockstar calls it a session so...

[AmyStone]

But I never hear anyone call it a session on this forum - apart from in this discussion.

[.Vooodu.]

Sober people play in lobbys.. Non Sober people play in sessions...

 

 

I need a session before a session.

A session to me is a period of time usually spent somewhere- in this case, in a lobby.
