GTA 5 Ships 75 Million Copies

[CuteFaceJay]

 

 

why would they bother making dedicated servers at this stage?

So that the game works properly.

This. LL just ignore the ones that have been spouting the same nonsense since day one. Life if much easier that way. I rarely have issues since the ps4 jump.

It's a lot easier to just ignore the problems with the game and be a total fanboy, you're right. And it's just 'nonsense' that there's a 1/3 chance each loading screen will either result in a connection error or just a straight up freeze and require a restart of the whole game.

 

Thank. YOU.

Whats up with this side of the forum? They act as if every bit of criticism thrown at GTAO is directed towards them.

 

75 million copies but how many play GTAO? Like 8 or 9 million?

 

lol

Each day? Yeah, likely.

Don't forget the 75M doesn't include the digital copies. You probably have to double that figure to get to the total amount of copies sold.

 

It does include digital.

I don't feel it is directed towards me. This is a thread celebrating GTA shipping 75 million copies. But yet it gets derailed into yet another b & m.

Yeah, you're probably right. From this line 'Bear in mind that shipped means the number of copies that have been sent to a retailer, not necessarily how many have been sold.', I thought they were talking about physical copies. Kinda strange to be talking about "shipping" copies to Steam or the PS store.

GTAV ships 75 Million copies

 

 

I think I must have bought about 74 million of those

I'm glad to see these sales... That means that GTA online will be FAR from dead. I expect ALOT more DLC's, cars,... maybe map extensions?

Despite all its problems, to me it's still one hell of an awesome game... And it remains the only game I play... Guess I'm a fan... :-)

Hey me too. I hope it hits 100 million before RDR2 comes out.

[APB]

At this point its too late to get brand new servers.

R* COULD, in theory improve the ones we have already AND they COULD FIX THE FU*KIN BUGS AND ALL RETARDED GLTICHES.

 

 

As we all know instead of doing all those things, R* spends money on hookers and drugs in their offices.

[CaptainMarvel]

 

mad about what?

It was a vibe I was getting off the way you mimicked my hashtag, and tried to appropriate the blame on my internet - as opposed to Rockstar's horrible P2P system.

I don't feel it is directed towards me. This is a thread celebrating GTA shipping 75 million copies. But yet it gets derailed into yet another b & m.

This thread title itself is just mentioning a fact and the OP is just giving a few statements and statistics regarding GTA 5's sales.

People celebrating this happening or expressing surprise or annoyances because it did so well, that is up to them.

At least that is my 2 cents....if you have that much a problem with people criticizing this game and you feel it does not fit the topic, report them.

 

edit: or just, you know, put people on ignore....that is, if they really annoy you that much

 

more edit: here is hoping that means a lot of DLC is still coming along with an update to actually balance this game in regards of....well.....everything.

 

Small weapons in the weapon wheel, certain options, armed vehicles, unarmed vehicles, certain physics, job payouts....

 

Further then that, i kinda do not think they are actually capable to make the game itself more stable without some insane investment that is never gonna happen.

Agreed. I do find it humorous people annoyed at the success of others.

To be honest rockstar their success does not bother me in the slightest, in fact its pretty admiring.

 

What is annoying how ever is that they broke several promises and they are just adding things to this game rather then improving/balancing what is already in the game.

 

Beyond that, though i disagree with people saying prices are insane in general, i do think that certain content is in fact overpriced for what it is or is so overpriced and mandatory to do certain things once implemented, i say that GTAO has on occasions in certain situations bordered on becoming a pay for play game.

 

But then again, you can not blame rockstar alone for that happening, from a business standpoint they obviously have not much reason to actually go and change their modus operandi since...well, this thread is pretty much making it obvious GTAO is far from dead and still really successful.

The sale numbers seem to indicate that most people care about quantity rather then quality, so yea...you can not only blame rockstar for that.

People simply pointed out that with all that money made, it's a shame that Rockstar haven't put just a little back into it, so that we can have a game that doesn't conk out every 5 - 20 minutes with some unknown network error, session split, etc.

 

If this triggers you - well, it is unfortunate, but you'll just have to learn to live with it.

[nm69]

And yet most of the vehicles that were released with bugs and errors remain untouched.

I used to mod GTA IV cars and it amazes me how Rockstar failed to map most of the car textures(dirt/snow/tail lights/ headlights etc) which is literally a 10 min job at best for them.

There was literally no QC testing for anything they released as "free DLC content".

[Solid Scorpion]

Regardless of where you stand on R* you can't deny those sales are impressive.

Now re-invest in some servers.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

It really explains a lot....

God, tbh, if i was them i wouldnt invest extra cash in rebalancing and such either tbh....

[LL Cool L]

100s of updates later....... (100s is an obvious exaggeration)

 

"People simply pointed out that with all that money made, it's a shame that Rockstar haven't put just a little back into it"

 

 

I agree that GTA should have dedicated servers, called a Fanboy lol

 

The fact that I and many others do not have network issues is FACT that such problems are not universal....its that simple...Ive had them on ps3 and few times on ps4 b4 I switched my internet service provider, I am not saying this is a quick fix for EVERYONE but it worked for me so its worth a look..

 

blaming all connection issues on R* is ridiculous, even PSN network has problems sometimes....

 

 

 

logic and common sense....smh

I'm not sure how profits could be used on dedicated servers since the game is built for P2P but even if dedicated servers were available, do we really think R* would pay to run them and have staff or volunteers to monitor them? I would expect to be able to rent servers but I highly doubt R* would ever run the entire game on dedicated servers they own or rent. I'd imagine the majority of players would have access to the current regular sessions and some (dedicated) players would pay to play on password protected servers that they rent, control and mod.

 

Now, here comes the sad part. You can currently run your own server to play with friends and mod it as you wish on PC ...and you'll be instantly banned by R* the second you host or join it.

 

 

 

So it is possible, it is fun, and it's also free. That might be part of why it's not allowed... We'll never know.

 

Point is. Let's all hold hands and say a prayer for a better quality GTAVI Online.

It's priorities. Think about it. There's been glitches and wallbreaches that been around since ps3/360 days that haven't been patched or fixed. And yet Rockstar are quick to fix any quick money exploit such as splitting yourself from a race to real in all the bet money that's been in the game since day one or fixing a bug that reduced the cool down for CEO missions.

 

So pretty much why fix something that isn't really broken? And these stats somewhat prove my point.

 

Of course they gotta fix stuff like off radar glitches and God mode.

[Happy Hunter]

The fact that I and ragedandcaged do not have network issues is FACT that such problems are not universal....

These people are (mostly) just low-effort trolls though.

 

Seems like most here agree with me that the game would be much, much better with dedicated servers anyway (which would lend to the vibe that it's not satisfactory right now).

I'm not on PSN, so I'll refrain from commenting on them too much.

 

I would assume, though, that they don't have errors every 5 minutes.

 

logic and common sense....smh

You support Rockstar - they're not exactly the bastion of logic. Lol.

Ive lost count how many times Ive said I want dedicated servers, are you having a laugh, but chopping up my post like that, wtf is this arts and craft? loool

Exactly. Neither myself nor my friends rarely have issues. So there is that to fall back on.

[Happy Hunter]

I want dedicated servers

Then stop whining about people saying we should have them. Simple, right?

 

chopping up my post like that

Have to cut out the cr*p from your posts to get to the stuff that's relevant.

 

wait you have errors every 5mins? and STILL play? do something else mate...

5 on a bad day. 20 on an average day. I'd guess maybe 30-40 when I'm really lucky (and even then, it can still split).

 

Oh, and for the most part, I am doing something else; don't worry. Still doesn't mean I can't talk about the game.

 

Free speech and all that.

 

There's been glitches and wallbreaches that been around since ps3/360 days that haven't been patched or fixed.

Tell me about it.

Oh I have. Obviously they're patching things that make them money way before they patch other stuff that has a much more negative effect on the game.

 

And obviously, cash cards and all that.

 

That doesn't mean it's not sh*tty though, and I reserve my right to mention it in a post (even if it triggers that LL guy into trying to derail the thread).

When did I give people sh*t for asking for it?

 

I asked a very simple question... Why would they bother now on such an old game?

 

how does a simple question cause you to have to quote breakdown?....you are going thu all that trouble to look silly

 

 

 

 

bruv your chatting sh*t now...

And you've been given the answer multiple times. Like this one from the first page:

 

 

It'd show that Rockstar don't just see their playerbase as a bunch of rubes that exist just to purchase shark cards every now and then, and heavily improve one of the largest problems with Online.

 

 

 

 

bruv your chatting sh*t now...

 

Try to calm down.

Hopefully some of the money they made sinks back into the game anyway, preferably in the way of better stability, balance changes, bug fixes, etc.
