The Official B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 2)

[Shaundi.]

I know I'm more than a month late and haven't paying been attention to most threads here for the past 2 or 3 months because I don't play the game as much and my PS+ expired and PS4 Fallout 4 has mod support and I'm enjoying it but I just wanna say this;

 

Rockstar's new/current ban policy is draconian and tyrannical. Which muppet thought of such f*ckwittery? Wiping both your characters clean after one temp ban, then the second ban is a permanent ban? What the f*ck?

 

So I could go on a tank or Hydra rampage, killing all non-friendly players on sight then some worthless fuccboi who should've committed suicide years ago gets butthurt and I get reported for disrupting other player's experience, get temped by Rockstar and my 85+ days of online play gets reset to zero, all cars confiscated, all Pegasus vehicles confiscated, all apartments confiscated after one temp ban. How the f*ck is that fair?

 

Or

 

I could be on PC playing GTAO with a harmless FOV mod or texture mod and get banned no questions asked, even if it's harmless, not harming or disrupting other players, get temped, character wiped clean etc. Rockstar should be very grateful and thanking modders, if it wasn't for SAMP, online modes like IV MP, RDR MP & GTAO would never exist. Now they're a bunch of ingrates giving the middle finger not only to creative modders but also their entire customer base.

 

Y'know, after Rockstar/T2 sending Private Investigators and shutting down FiveM last year and suing NTAuthority and taking him to court for creating a different kind of GTAO and the constant neglect of SP was bad, this is f*cking worse.

 

Rockstar are literally committing corporate suicide. I'm glad the game is losing popularity. I'm afraid when I renew my PS+, I don't think I'll insert the disc in my PS4 for a very long time. I'd rather buy and play Overwatch or Watch Dogs 2's MP mode.

 

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

After three years of dedicated waiting for some biker stuff, when it finally arrived, I've just realized there's not really any more future interest in this game for me. I couldn't care less about more boring adversary modes.

 

GTA Online is totally dead and done to me now.

 

 

That is until I get tired of all my other games and return...*lol*

 

Finally someone with the same thoughts. I have been waiting for new bikes since GTA release, now we finally got them, but its kinda too late. Game is pretty much dead already. They should have added the biker stuff atleast a year/year and a half ago. I still play the game, but definitely dont enjoy it anymore as i used to do, thats why i couldnt enjoy the biker dlc to the fullest... There is just not much to do anymore.

 

Same, waiting for Biker update since day one, huge crew which was always supposed to be a biker crew. By the time they added Biker content , it was too late, the game and map is stale whatever new fluff they add, crew members bored and burned out after 3 years wait and the Biker update was not in depth and frankly the same dull sh*te as CEO work at end of day. Its now a playground for underage bellends and "leave me a lone boo hoo" grindmonkeys

 

I totally agree with both of you. Indeed it's too late. Grinding the same relatively small, uninteresting and also quite stale map for three years is just fun for so long. I guess I endured because I had friends who used to play the game for quite a long time, and because I was really excited about the possibility of a biker DLC. But yeah, it was definitely about 1,5 years too late, I'd say.

 

I actually find it rather strange that R* waited as long with the biker DLC as they did, seeing as it was one of the most requested DLC themes and already had a huge community for it since day one. But their seemingly change of attitude towards their fan base in latter years is proving ignorant. I mean, they don't seem to really listen to us and our requests, or they simply do it way too late. Not just with the biker DLC, but with other stuff as well.

 

GTA V has, to me personally, destroyed the whole GTA franchise a lot. Not only is its actual story and characters pretty terrible, the map feels like it's trying to be too grandeur in a too small space (I badly miss the map of San Andreas). The other thing is how R* seems to have changed focus from 18+ to cringey 10-year-old kids and now hold just-as-cringey YouTubers in high regard. But the most annoying thing of all is how the taste of massive success made R* incorporate microtransactions. They went from being actual independent-feeling rock stars among game developers into being one more greedy corporative, ignorant and fan-overriding company.

PC: cheaters all over totally ruining the game. No fun. R* anti-cheat is a bad joke killing the game.

[Shadowfennekin]

Literally every Kill Quota game I queue up for starts with like 5/6 people, why can't these impatient f*ckers just wait for a full lobby to start

^^^^This

A million times this

 

 

And for the love of god, if you're the last person on a team who are getting their butt handed to them. Do the winning team a favor and just leave so this ends.

One guy insisted on dragging a Kill Quota on for an extra two rounds before we ended up winning. Hard to reach weapon quota with only ONE enemy to kill......

Can anyone f*cking explain this:

 

Clearly your face missed the ground was eager to meet it.

 

 

This video reminded me of something recent. Tequi-la-la resupply for Coke in Alamo Sea. I was on my Shotaro, going down the Vinewood Hills towards Sandy Shores with the package. I took a jump, and naturally wiped out. The Lost MC bikers caught up with me and demolished me with their pistols. I respawned on one of the nearby hills, and started jumping down since... yeah, my bike was still on the road.

 

Then I suddenly went into the sky diving animation and splattered all over the rocks like 5 meters below. >_> All this after getting through the barfight without dying, since I got lucky and the supplies were on the first few bikers.

Players that lock their doors.. really? f*ck off with that, why don't you live a little. Some of the most fun I've had was when someone stole my vehicle in the thick of it.

 

What's worse is when these assholes come honking because they want you to jump in but they have locked doors! What the f*ck?

f*ck that. You have your own car. Get the f*ck away from mine.Or some asshat lowlevel that steals your car in the start of a mission, heist final or setup!

 

Double GTA cash doesnt seem to get people to play adversary modes. Do quadruple or quintuple.

Hope they do that and people still won't play it!

I think R* is sore losers when they see how a mod can breath new life in to the game just by elevating the grafic!

 

please edit your previous post instead of double/triple posting, thanks!

[mmm chocolate]

just looked at how many adversary/vs modes that I HAVEN'T played, (no green check beside them)

and I'd say its at 96% are unplayed. (maybe I'm the dumbass whos missing something, but as a longtime GTA player, all those game modes are not somethiing I wouldve asked for in the game)

[xXepicjasaXx]

I hate that this game has got boring for me and that i havent played it in ages, it think a lot could be done to make it more fun like adding in North Yankton it would add so much and will definitely make me come back and play it.

 

 

Also i hate that the snow in online is there for a few days because i never get to enjoy it because i am so busy and i cant enjoy the snow for long and it would be great if in the next GTA there would be different servers like snow only servers and normal ones for christmas that starts off from december 1st it would be so much better because if i get bored of either i can chose

[dragosani00]

Soooo after reading many good reports in here I took advantage of the cheapo office promotion to move from Maze Bank to Lombank West ... only to realise that almost every Buzzard spawm point out the front of the building is right next to a tree and/or lamp post and it's nigh on impossible to take off without wrecking or severely damaging the copter.

 

What is it with buzzards always seeming to spawn underneath something?

 

30 mins later I am back in my good old Maze Bank office

[askinnywhitedildo]

I saw someone a page or so back talking about the Adversary modes having Double money and RP.

 

And they're right. That sh*t sucks so much dick, that it's not even worth playing for double points. It's absolutely horrible, and it would take 4x the RP for me to continue doing it. I tried for a whole day or so, and the sh*ts so bad that I can get more RP out of doing crate missions as a CEO, because it moves faster.

 

Like wtf happened to REAL Double XP and Money weeks? We used to have them on old gen, like wtf. It's like a punishment that we can't have these things. It's like C* is pulling their cock out, and slapping us in the face with it.

[KreatiivFox]

Okay, so I was getting chased by cops, and I needed a getaway vehicle. So, of course, since I'm a motorcycle club president, I call for my Shotaro. And you know what happens? THE GAME MAKES IT SPAWN IN THE OCEAN! Whooptie-f*cking-doo. Destroyed and making me pay for it.

100% agree with this, Snow should be about for about 2 weeks before christmas, I'm normally often pretty busy on the run up to christmas so don't really get to enjoy the snow so much, Rockstar must think that people don't work over the christmas period and have other things to do.

[GTAUrbanCamping]

Snipers. One reason I rarely do public servers.

Literally every Kill Quota game I queue up for starts with like 5/6 people, why can't these impatient f*ckers just wait for a full lobby to start

Because of the timer that runs out.

My B&M: Killquota Loadout 1.

Seriously i love Killquota and i like all the loadouts except loadout 1. Whoever gets to the minigun first is nearly 100 % the winner of the match.

You're able to constantly reset the timer though; just keep switching matchmaking from open to close and vice versa. As long as the job is not the second or beyond in a playlist, you could theoretically keep the lobby open until you and everyone else leaves. I don't think a lot of people realise this though.

 

I feel his pain though; I hate it when people automatically just start jobs when the minimum number of players are present to successfully launch and don't bother inviting players. If you have the absolute minimum and one person drops after the launch screen, everyone gets kicked and the job fails to start.

 

It sucks though when you're in a game mode obviously designed for more players and you only have three, maybe four or five at best still in the match. I've burnt out on playing Kill Quota; it was fun for a few days, but now more than half the players just drop out or leave in the middle of the match. It's absolutely dreadful if it's set to four rounds and you only have four (at the most) people still there.

 

I tend to prefer jobs that hold more players though.

So I join a public session with only two other people in the same CEO organization. I message them, "Can I join you guys?"

Literally 10 seconds later, "Players are voting to remove you from the session"

Gotta love the playerbase

I wish people would ask me.

 

I was just Ghost, delivering a Rumpo with 3 crates in it. Someone on the street (A level 60 with a .50 KDR) made me out, and blew me up.

 

Like, f*ck you, you little scrub. Is it really worth $2 f*cking grand to you, to mess up all my sh*t for me? Go get a life, and get your own business, and lets see how you like it. Oh but wait, you're just a little street scrub who will never amount to sh*t in this game.

Act friendly, get a warning about your behaviour. Gta Logic.

 

 

I finally got an empty lobby and had stock left in MC businesses so I had one chance to sell it safely. Started a gand attack trying to get there, killed everyone but the gang attack would register it as over so nothing on the map would let me use or access it. Had to restart and ended up in a full lobby.

[Shadowfennekin]

Hey, a full Power Play lobby! This is going to be fun!

"You have been kicked from this job"

Start some VIP work - that should give you 20 - 30 minutes where you can't be kicked, or get bad sport/insurance for blowing up cars (depending on the work, I think).

 

The rest ... You know, time for a vehicle rampage.

Because of one particular game?

I mean sure, the cheat stuff is one (the only?) downside playing that game on PC, but switching to consoles won't solve the non-dedicated server issue.

[rtie]

Loading screens are taking long again, smh r*. It's been fine up until today.

[Spectacus]

Loading screens are taking long again, smh r*. It's been fine up until today.

I was tryna join your lobby the other day and I was stuck in the clouds for a good 7 mins before I gave up.

[Silencer555]

If only NPCs were more forgiving instead of brutally punishing for the smallest of mistakes.

This was the last enemy during the last wave of Survival. I was really surprised that I wasn't obliterated by his minigun. This would make melee weapons more viable against them.

But... But... who uses the ground access anyway? The buildings have helipads that we don't even need to land on to enter the office... I mean.. sorry you didn't like the office, at least that's one less boss landing on my roof.

Dear Fellow Teammates of Power Play:

 

Would you kindly refrain from putting us all "In the Zone" over and over and over again. Sure, it looks a bit cool (the first couple of times)--especially if you're in the middle of firing an RPG or sniping, but it's absolute rubbish when you're the Beast, trying to roll away from gun fire/reloading, or are dealing with multiple enemies gathered together. I've been killed and set back more times from this feature than any other thing within the game mode. It's purely an annoyance at this point--for both sides.

 

Thanks so much for listening and understanding.

 

Love always,

First time I played that it ended up 1 vs 3, with me getting zoned and doped and God knows what else. Didn't think much of that mode to be honest.

[Professional Amateur]

How many others get stalked regularly by jet tryhards after shooting them down or just killing them on the ground? It's hilariously sad how I get these guys adding me, trying to join my sessions to jet grief me. I know it's probably amazingly common amongst those who get into combat 24/7, but holy hell it's pathetic how it comes down to online stalking over a petty kill. At least they bugger off when you call them 'bub', 'bubby' and 'sunshine', lol.

[Commander S]

Did some maths, earlier - saw the speculation that the next update might have around 20 new vehicles, and figured it worth working out how many new vehicles have been added this past year (starting with Lowriders, because that's the beginning of 'Year 3' of GTAO - and also the first update to begin the trend of 'updates which might as well not exist, in terms of the use I've gotten out of them...'):

Lowriders* = 10

Executives & Other Criminals** = 19

Be My Valentine*** = 3

Lowriders: Custom Classics = 6

Finance And Felony = 14

Cunning Stunts = 15

Bikers = 21

TOTAL = 88

* includes the Halloween Surprise vehicles, ** includes the Festive Surprise 2015 Tampa, *** includes the racecars that came with the same patch, but not the original Roosevelt from 2014

 

That's just new vehicles, discounting re-releases of existing content (for instance, the Bagger with Bikers, the stock cars with Cunning Stunts or the Cargobobs with F&F), or variants of vehicles that aren't either personal vehicles or individual Pegasus vehicles (so none of the new colour variants of the boats/helicopters that come with the yachts - or the yachts themselves! - or things like the modified Valkyrie variant from 'Extraction' that can't be bought). And I'm not taking into account things that are brand-new, either - would be interesting to compare the percentages of things that are all-new (Tyrus, Shotaro), variants on existing cars (Tornado Rat Rod, Faggio Mod) or re-used GTA IV assets (Faction, Tampa), but that's kinda beside the point I'm making...

 

...which is: working out how few of those 88 I've bothered buying, because good grief, I've been left so bored and uninterested by most of 'em.

Not joking - haven't touched any of the lowriders, or the bikes, or anything like the high-end supercars or armoured things. Haven't even really been enthused by the racecars, either - so the only things I've gotten out of the entire year's offerings have been things I didn't hate, and largely because it was during a discount event, and I figured 'better to get them while they were cheap'. But that still works out as:

Lowriders = 1 (Fränken Stange)

Executives & Other Criminals = 1 (Mamba)

Be My Valentine = 2 (Sultan RS and Roosevelt Valor)

Lowriders: Custom Classics = 0

Finance And Felony = 0

Cunning Stunts = 1 (ETR1)

Bikers = 0

TOTAL = 5/88

...and on top of that, haven't even bothered with things like the CEO offices or MC clubhouses - don't want to go down either route, and certainly don't like the idea of being stuck with something like a goddamn biker clubhouse (to quote Trevor Philips, "I hate bikers!") permanently.

So yeah - haven't got particularly high hopes for the next update, particularly if it just winds up being more modern super/hypercars, another expensive business venture that's not to my particular tastes, more oversized, low-resolution clothing items instead of anything fashionable/well-designed, and bog-all else besides.


(sorry for the rant, but that's the point of this thread, after all - and I'm getting to the point where I can't keep kidding myself that 'there'll probably be something interesting with the next update, I guess...')
