The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[Lupo-Akane]

We need some more arcade games and some more room in them. They could make an Area 51 style game but call it Fort Zancudo or something but dang we could use some more of them.

I think the maintenance for RGL the other day has forced some Steam forum admins to run clean up ops because the anger from consumers meant they had time to reflect their purchases. The first page of the discussion board was littered with frustrated users unable to access offline content with an online tool.

 

I can’t find 4 threads I posted in and have seemingly vanished, all topics related to the handling of DE. *sigh* Like maybe the topics derailed or someone was flaming idk, they didn’t seem toxic in the ones I posted. I do know I’m getting real f*cking tired of censorship and cancel culture. The infiltration of corporate bodies to redact valid consumer complaints from “supposedly” safe places to discuss such things.

 

We all know big businesses don’t have their consumer interests at heart, otherwise we wouldn’t voice our distain in the first place. It seems like they pick and choose what gets discussed and what doesn’t. My comment barely skirted the monopolistic tendencies of AAA gaming and topics straight up get deleted to ensure only the nice things are spoken about. Soon there won’t be anywhere left to bitch.

I agree. For me, it seems that everything changed upon the rise of the Bloggers. Once blogging went from someone simply voicing their opinions (good or bad) on a website to someone becoming a "brand", corporations seized on the idea of those bloggers being the voice of their corporate products. Of course, that comes with the territory of the blogger shilling for the company (not that there is anything inherently wrong with that...it's just good business) but any voices that were deemed too negative or were of the wrong opinion were suppressed. If the voices telling you what is wrong with your product are suppressed, then how can you improve your product? The answer is, "you can't".

The combat in GTA V is one of the worst I've ever seen in video game history

the snack menu + op aimbot enemies is just f*cking torture

[Big Molio]

I had a fiendish plan to go into Ghost Organisation, get into my Kosatka, then cruise missile a crew of griefers who were spawn killing noobs at the airport.

 

Opened sub door with 2:40 left of Ghost Organisation.............<loading>

Finally arrived in sub with 1:32 left of Ghost Organisation

By the time I had fiddled around trying to get sat down at the missile station (torturous), and shifted around in the seat, the counter was at 0:41 seconds.

 

I swear that 80% of time spent in this game is time wasted and not actually playing.

Yeah, you know you've neglected your platform's core and gone off on one with adding decorations and trinkets when the most desired DLC is a Quality of Life update.

 

Look at most of the buildings we get, like the Auto Shop as the most recent example - spawn upstairs, have to walk down the stairs, past Gobby Doris, who then triggers MuppetMann's tempest of bullsh*t etc.

 

Grand Walk Online.

And don't even get me started on areas i nwhich you're not even allowed to sprint for no damn reason. Or worse, areas that you're only allowed to walk.

 

"But it wouldn't be realisti-"

f*ck off with you realism in video games. Realism in video games only exist to hamper you 90% of the time.

Because R* is incompetent and/or incapable of fixing something that doesn't hamper their abilities to sell shark cards.

There are three ways to combat Speedo's (to my knowledge):

1) Ram, flip and park your vehicle on them. Exit your vehicle and shot them through the windshield. Works with the Kanjali, though you have to be fast.

2) Bait them to any body of water and push them into it.

3) Run from them. To chase you they have to face your direction, meaning their heads are easy pickings. MOC Cabs works wonders for this.

 

Or simply don't fight them. The Avenger is my go-to vehicle in this mess of a game. It can outrun what it "can't" fight, fight what it can't outrun and outlast anything (as long as the OHK glitch doesn't set in).

[Shiloh Comes]

Every time the Coke stops producing in my NC I lose 100k on a sale. This has happend at least 6 or 7 times now. So f*cking irritating that this never got fixed.

Red Dead Online was always going to be doomed from the start in my opinion. It is a truly superb single-player experience, but trying to sustain itself as a persistent open world multiplayer game is limited enormously by its own time setting. There really is only so much you can continually add to a game set in 1899 and keep it both fresh and consistent with the era.

The most remarkable thing is GTA III was released in 2001, Vice City in 2002 and San Andreas in 2004. It took them two years to produce the most groundbreaking game ever in SA, with a map spanning three different cities. Including the city we use today.

 

My hope is that GTA 6 is the incredible all-encompassing map that we've all been dreaming about, which we can set foundations on for another decade. Every time Rockstar milk old content, it takes us a step closer to the inevitable launch of something new, which is motivating because they simply can't regurgitate forever.

 

My fear is that by the time we actually get real new content (not hacked on DLCs and enhancements) I'll be too disenchanted to invest any more of my life in Rockstar games.

No No there are so many opportunitues, but the have lost so much creativity since Release.

 

I brainstormed for 5 Minutes and you could add the following without any effort:

 

- Saloon brawls (melee Deathmatch es)

- Buyable Coaches in every Version 

- Buyable properties 

- Coach races 

- more Camp upgrades

 

This is my creative Output for 5 Minutes, so why didnt they achive something in years?

Don't you get it by now? R* didn't even want to do Online for RDO. Take two forced them to do so due to the success of GTA Online

RDO wishlist  has a treasue trove of ideas - a decade worth of content.

Not to mention countless novels and movies, Rockstar could parody.

 

And if that ever, got exhausted. Rockstar, could time hop, upgrade the map and let the players enjoy 1910.

 

Just a matter of them giving a sh*t.

"Heist Month" started off good with 2x all heists, then went to "meh" with Act 3 only, and now is straight insulting with only diamonds and no bonuses at all.

 

Guess next week is 50% higher chance of gold spawning in the storage rooms in the compound

[KiTTYReCkless]

Got on GTA because I had an idea for a survival. Survival creator blows. Okay I can go capture route and make something fun I thought. 45 minutes in and almost done with one side only to decide to take a few things out that were not needed. Now memory is full? Like what? How can removing stuff cause the memory to jump from just over half to full?

Anyway I had to scrap my idea and almost an hour of my life was wasted. Thx a ton R*. I used to be a big fan, but you really f*cking suck now.

og heists 2x is still an insult. even 4x would be kinda fair considering they pay like 500k at most and require 4 players, so 125k is basically what you get for a paige terrorbyte mission

2 million for a 4 person finale would probably make people want to play those again, and even that's debatable considering how much of a pain is to have 3 reliable friends willing to help, so im sh*t out of luck stuck on f*cking humane labs forever

It was expected for Cayo Perico to not get an uber good bonus but Casino didn't get anything at all and that takes longer to grind the setups! (And needs two people minimum for finale!)

 

You'd think they'd at least axe the crew cuts again or make everyone's first go diamonds but no... nothing! Shirt reward is a repeat too unlike the rewards for OG and Doomsday Heist weeks so no point even bothering!

 

Honestly think they might acknowledge Cayo Perico with a completion reward but give the final bonus to the autoshop contracts(Though I honestly won't say no to that, I still need the medal for doing an insane amount lol )

Same as current GTAO - It's just that there is nothing to compare to it nor replace it.

I think if there was some competition to R*, they might get their head out of the sand and get to work on some quality products.

 

But here we are, Rockstar is being their own competition so they release 3 turds in a moist box named "trilogy definitive edition".

Can't wait to see how big the sack of sh*t will be for GTAO-re-re-release, because chances are very high I won't buy it because it probably won't work properly the first 3 months anyway.

They need to come out and just say what's "Expanded" cause right now? There's nothing new! It's the exact game we have only with YELLOW plates!

It's ridiculous like why be so secretive? If it's Liberty City keeping that secret is fair I guess but if all we're getting at launch is a few new cars and weapons.... that's just bullsh*t, should tell us from the start

This heist month is a major disappointment so far.

Not so much a B&M, more of a less than positive observation -

 

I'm guessing it's because I'm old, and because fashion recycles every 20-30 years, but the LSCM level 500 Broker jacket looks like something from the mid 90s, when there was a brief period where dressing like a clown having a breakdown was for some reason desirable.

 

Next stop is that rather fetching Lampadati tricolor hoodie, which already has an outfit with the matching hat and a Sprunk BF400 just waiting or it to arrive in time for some Italian -themed snow fun. Seriously, handbraking (back brake on a bike) that BF round corners is just great in the snow. You can virtually drive at full speed around the city just tapping the brake and sliding any corner. Defo upper top ten of the best snow vehicles.

There are probably enough naiive people who have convinced themselves there is going to be a massive map expansion that it's worth keeping everyone in the dark to bag all the revenue these mugs will generate by buying the game yet again. Of course there will be a teeny sh*tstorm of whingers on various forums when the new version drops and there is no huge map expansion but the same people will keep playing anyway after venting their spleens a bit, it's a win win for R* & they are fully aware of it.

Plundering previous or current titles for release, re-release and re-re-release is in vogue among developers these days I think. I've just been suckered into upgrading my current version of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim to the tenth anniversary edition.

Kind of like all the old comic book movies.

No creativity.  Just remake Superman, Spiderman, Batman...
