Forget about Doomsday Mastermind, these damn Arcade game challenges completely blows that away as far as pain in the ass goes.

I quit prison break wet work because the f*cking dumbass host who was on city hall team with me kept leaping off the roof and dying after killing the lawyers, sigh what a f*cking idiot

 

Also I'm just so sick of the combat in this game. It's just simply terribly unfair, bullet sponge enemies, very low player health, sh*tty snack menu etc. RDR Online is just so so so so much more well rounded with plenty of ways for the player to heal or fortify their health and ability cards to boost their abilities. Remember when in GTA SA you were indestructible if you had a minigun? Well in GTAO you're just an idiot out on the open for some laser accurate aimbot npc to kill by blindfiring with a pistol from halfway across the map

Oh come on, just try RDO without autoaim and you realize it's just as bad as this if not worse.

This probably isn't news to many here, but I'm becoming more and more convinced that this as of now 8-year-old game and the things it satirizes has become an ugly metaphor for R* and especially Take-Two. All the things they poke satirical fun at (and did in previous GTA titles) they have become just that themselves.

 

The latest E&E trailer is as if an idea pulled straight from one of Lazlow Jones's shelved radio scripts. A parody of a parody.

Some of the legendary bounties on hardest difficulty disable your autoaim but with paint it black it is still bearable, hell even melee is kind of a viable option with tonic spam and good perks

 

+ I can't stress this enough how annoying it is to disrupt gameplay to open a stupid menu and scroll through a sh*t ton of crap just to get to healing items that heal only a fraction of your health

at least in rdr healing items are easily accessible, at least restore you to full health and maybe even fortify it

 

I see no way how they can fix this sh*tty healing item problem in a 8-year-old game. At least old heists have the heavy armor thing which makes it pretty good though.

I guess enemies just have to be less op, period.

R* needs to redesign the entire menu system for E&E. It is a PAIN to scroll through my car list in the heists prep screen when you own a ton of them.

That's why I just stick to the Toreador lol

 

It makes the Humane Labs setups/Finale travel MUCH more bearable. Just blast across that lake in seconds instead of driving around lmao

Humane Labs setups/finale helped a ton keeping my home clean: I just go and sit in someone else' car, than go to do the dishes, load up the washing machine, take a sh*t and a shower and when I return to the screen we're just stopping at the Insurgent. Genius!

Hey ruski tryhard c*nts, for the few of you that bothered to learn english, heres some advice:

- If somebody doesn't react to your random kills maybe take a f*cking hint and move on

- If you bother them long enough for them to start fighting back, dont get 2 friends involved, especially the kind that only use explosive sniper & mk2 bike

- If you then proceed to lose said 3v1 (because i've seen all tryhard sh*t since before you grew pubes) dont get your cheater friend to crash my game to protect your precious K/D

How  russian tryhards are  different  from tryhards from any other countries?  Do they have more players who attack others for no reason? Do they cheat more or they often have modded accounts? Because there are more then enough russian GTA Online youtubers who promote something that is cheating

Ha ha, yeah the Soviets are funny. They are typically all kitted out in military fatigues, night vision helmets and face-paints, and usually treat the game as if they are in a real freaking war!

 

You''re right too, they are aggressive and salty as hell if you give it them back. It isn't long before two or three others show up from the same crew looking to Putin the boot (see what I did there?)

 

I had a whole bunch of them spamming my phone and XBOX Live messenger with abuse the other day because I got the drop on them with my APC when they were all gathered at the beach trying to get their jets off the ground, no doubt to tear up the lobby.

Psst if you're feeling a bit cunty then just die and fail Humane Labs as soon as it starts, the restart is at the Valk

[TheGhostFromPast]

That's just great!  In order to get the livery, I have to play the Fleeca heist! It wouldn't be such a problem if cheaters wouldn't join in the Fleeca heist.

The last 14 days were bad. I got obliterated so often and i dont rly know why. I got orbed by i guy that i killed 5 times a few guys i killed 1 time and more. 

One day got orbed 4 times by the same 2 ppl lol. So i started to count. 

So in the last 14 days i got orbed 11 times

After 9 orbes i was only in inv only's.

That gets me to the next point: inv onlys dont rly work on xbox atleast. So we got a few ppl that joined us over xbox (if you add a guy on xbox you can join over crews or over xbox itself when you apear onine) We were driving in a car bam got orbed from a acc we dident know. Just funny that r* thought that a thing like that is a good idea. But i never understood how you get an idea like that.

Orb cannon was a straight-up money sink. It was meant to sell kills for 750K a pop. The joke being on R* since nobody ever, ever pays for it. I don't know how many I've seen, but it's the same every time: "Player A was obliterated by the Orbital Cannon", "Player B left". Check the list a minute later, lo and behold Player B is back in session, having been invited back by their friends. Rinse and repeat. 

 

Plus R* was counting on the rage factor the OC brings - they want us at each other's throats because free roam battles are still the best way to expend player resources; Ammo & insurance can very quickly add up to tens or hundreds of thousands. Chasing someone all over the map looking for payback means not making any cash. Clearly it's working, because those Shark Cards aren't buying themselves. 

 

Once upon a time players were customers. Now we're victims, cattle to be farmed for money. Makes my f*cking skin crawl that R*/T2 don't even see anything wrong with their predatory tactics - to them, this is a job well done. They brag about their profits on the regular.

 

There is, of course, only one solution - but here we are, 8 years later, playing right into their hands and enough of us reaching for the credit card that GTA VI is several years away at least. And I dread what that will even look like - it sure as hell won't be the game I've loved for over 20 years. Just look at RDRO - a soulless cash grab if there ever was one.

And now you've got the unlimited orbital cannon exploit, which they probably won't bother patching anytime soon.

I'm guilty of this too. lol

Had to take a mean piss yesterday but didn't want to get abandoned as it was finale time and I was there from the start, so I just held it until they started it, hopped right into a car and raced off to the bathroom!

At least you weren't being targeted by 3 God-mode c-bags that couldn't get a kill without going off the radar. Yeah, that was a fun session. 

[Shadowfennekin]

Mmm even the high levels hosting Fleeca rape the start button once you get in the lobby.

Oh, I think plenty of people pay for it. I can personally verify that, as I've been orbed by any number of tryhard types who were frustrated to realize they'd picked a very obnoxious target (i.e. me) and found this was the only way they could get that get-even kill they so desperately craved. I can also tell you that I've paid for it myself on occasion--even though I think the thing is a horrible game mechanic and absolutely is just what you describe it as (a money sink), occasionally there is nothing more satisfying than blowing a jet or Mk II griefer out of the sky. (And for me, a solo Cayo gets me two orb shots on griefers; since I've largely stopped buying anything in-game anyway, it might as well be that.)

 

Regardless, it sure does suck, and stays on the list of things I wish they'd just remove.

Only on Ruthless difficulty missions or 6-star bounties, which are kinda the point and even then I don't have to do a 20 key string to bring a healing item. AND EVEN THEN snipers work. Sure, enemies at mid range become absurdly good and long range Carcanos are a pain in the ass, but at least it's not some f*cking yahoo firing from cover and landing every shot. RDO's combat isn't perfect, but it's still miles away from GTAO and free-aim on controller is possible (something I know because that XP bonus has forced me to play free aim). Doomsday Heist on free-aim with a controller is just frustrating and cheap

Same. It's all about the metagame, isn't it? If I'm aiming to orb someone who I think is smart enough to be paying attention, I'll go off radar and play beat the clock, seeing if I can warp and orb before they either go off radar themselves or go underground. Works sometimes. I've also occasionally orbed random griefers who had not engaged with me and had no reason to think I was after them, just to enjoy the salt. Honestly, I find the game a bit of a lost cause--it's fun but it's never going to be balanced properly or have its myriad issues addressed really, so wasting my island heist money to annoy people that are being dicks is something I've started taking a lot of joy from.

That's me. I play the long game sometimes. If griefers get the drop on me for example, I always assume that they are expecting immediate retaliation. Best thing to do is go about your business for a while. Don't message them. Don't react to them. Then when they have moved on to some other poor sap, get them when they don't expect it. Most players aren't paying attention.

Imagine having the mechanic menu in races and heists. Isn't brilliant I know but it's better than going one by one when you have more than 100 cars.

 

Or when on foot, you hold left or right to use a health pack or bring up a healing menu. Or just giving players more health or more health drops or more ways of healing in general, idk give us SOMETHING

Any of those ideas would be a huge improvement.
