Why a balanced, inmersive and not toxic Freemode is considered a fantasy now?

Well we are closing in on year six, so.  After same period of time, I still didn’t expect that my wife would become good cook.

Never late than never, even more if R* expects this game to still be profitable.

I expect this game to remain profitable for a while. There will be an end eventually. It's just a matter of when.

This is very funnies.  Rock Star could use your ideas on how to make monies, they haven’t figured out such tings.  

[Happy Hunter]

This wait is so tiresome, both on this and red dead. Has something gone horribly wrong? The optimistic side of me says maybe it's really big stuff they're making. But I doubt it.

 

Someone spill the beans, this is just depressing.

It's not about monies, after all, R* has that already figured out. It's about keeping some good faith with your playerbase for once, that's way more profitable in the long run than just focusing on short term gains.

Maybe a big hiccup.. I expected some GTA update a few weeks ago.. Some more arena vehicles or something. Everyone knows there has been issues for months 6++

 

Usually the harassment in freemode reminds me its time to move on.. Amd I havent played this game 1 year

 

And Im not crying about ruined sales/supply runs... Its the underlying game mechanics and exploits

Ikr... like how can u miss that? LOL

 

Also yeah this game needs ideas to remaib profitable bc honestly i doubt its as profitable now as it was 2 years ago. Prove me wrong, with sources covering their net income from GTAO alone.

And your proofs of that is what?  This is most highest grossing entertainment product of all times.  Anyone can just say anything.

I mean, there are lots of companies that lose money after alienating fans. Believe it or not, but when people like a company they usually give it more money.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing the most profitable piece of media in history is being managed by a skeleton crew given how aggressively Daddy Zelnick wants to push microtransactions. Even if they want to put many of their eggs in the RDRO basket, they’re far too greedy not maintain what’s been raking in the most cash. Look at NBA and FIFA. Those games get resources en masse. 

 

Something smells. 

[Teddykgb123]

The last two updates should be TUNERS and I//E+ Nightclub Part II. That'd make players happy and probably bring some back who have quit the game. The last two we or three updates we've had have really disappointed me in terms of cars. I understand there are hundreds and hundreds of them but we need something to make the game fresh. New cars are very profitable for them because we will overpay for new vehicles and pay a ton for more storage, let's say a special thing that is a 15 car garage and costs 3.5 mill, people would pay it and 2 mill for a sports car at this point. We're starved for new vehicles.

Can you call it a theory? Yeah I guess but I thought it was a very known fact. Konami looks real good after using metal gear solid for pachinko machines lol.

I'm interested in knowing what version of advanced flags we get next. It could either make or break the DLC.

Yan didn't necessarily mean the next update. He said possibly in future updates. I hope the next update is something good though I really hate AW and all the overpriced trash it brought (apart from the muscle cars).

I disagree with the notion that there is nothing to do in the game. Though this probably has to do with curiosity and whether there is creativity about the way that time is spent. There is a reasonable chance for players to have a collection of cars, which is not unlikely to introduce maintenance in regards to organisation and customisation. In addition, progression is not necessarily linear, which is another great aspect about the game. This is in addition to how every player in the game holds an influence on how others experience it. I do not have a facility and this is a conscious decision which ripened over time. However, I like helping other players with most of the heist, especially what I summarise as preparation work. This includes attempts which are not successful. In this case even not owning something can lead to an experience. I also only recently started a motorcycle club and I appreciate it. This was inspired in part by the recent payout and the substantial sale on an illicit business, while on the other hand I chose a clubhouse which was not on sale as I have a fascination for the desert location. I believe that an expanded desert partly in size and partly in activities would have been wonderful. The grinding that you mention does happen, yes, but there too approaches are varied. It is possible to monotonously repeat but there also is a less exhausting path of observing differences, considering how to approach things and possibly even creating challenges.

There is some talk about some not being critical or not being critical enough towards the developers and publishers but I personally will criticise anyone and anything if there are reasons and within reason. I have sent a couple of rather trenchant messages to the developers over the years, but privately and discreetly so, which unfortunately does not seem too common these days with all of the inane commercialisation and grandstanding going on.

(...) Actually I will use 3 vehicles for example. Grotti Itali GTO is a beautiful car with crippling bouncy suspension, due to advanced flags, that makes it nearly impossible to drive in the city under full throttle. (...)

Have you participated in the highest speed challenge a number of times by any chance? The trick to winning it, aside from owning a land vehicle propelled by a rocket, is to make use of bumps on the road which I believe are part of pedestrian crossings. This causes the back of the vehicle to be lifted, which then again seems to cause an increased wheel spin as well as a relatively substantial increase in speed respectively in speed recorded by the game. I wondered initially how players won this challenge and eventually I figured it out myself. The bounciness of the rear in certain situations thus seems to have been a presence in the game for some time now if not from the beginning and in my view this should be acknowledged in this discussion. I have nothing against the discussion on how exactly it would make sense for individual vehicles to have a higher affinity for this so to speak and whether it was an intentional decision or not. I even agree that this leads to a disadvantage to these newer vehicles within the city. I mentioned elsewhere that I participated in a lenghty no crashes challenge in the vehicle you mention on countryside highways and in addition also during snowfall. It was a close and exciting tie with a particular player at one point, but ultimately I won it. I have I believe a complete recording of it but I value discretion whenever possible as I mentioned. I should actually have a look at it as I would like to reach out to the mentioned competitive but friendly player.

I recently tried playing Death matches and LTS modes because you know...people there want to PvP, right?

 

I had 3 matches with one time more than just one. After that I gave up because obviously nobody plays other game modes.

 

I'm gonna be honest here. The only game modes besides free roam that are being played are races and the weekly moneyboosted modes. If you now look at how much stuff we have...why should Rockstar ever bring new stuff? I mean sure, activities in free roam is a different thing but why should they implement these drag races? Even normal races are not being played by a lot of players.

 

I always wonder what the "non toxic" part of the community does in this game besides trying to grind in free roam. Because I can't find them anywhere else.

Which platform are you on? I'm on PS4 and haven't actively looked for Deathmatches or LTS in awhile, but I used to play them both very often. Unfortunately it became more and more difficult to host and get people to join or to find lobbies with enough people, so I kinda gave up for the most part; I still see invites to those awful user created parkour and $$$ maps, but pretty much never to good maps with decent settings.

 

I'm not sure what others do, but I either try my best to find or host decent/enjoyable jobs that other people want to play; run missions with friends; or if I'm not in the mood to be social, do business stuff or whatever at my own pace alone in a "private" public lobby. I definitely understand you though; it's become a lot more difficult to find certain job types that people are willing to play and it only seems to get worse as time progresses.

 

This is why R* needs to do promos on deathmatches, LTS maps, captures, and other classic job types; unless jobs are double money, you rarely have a chance to play them unless you have an established group of players who are all willing to join.
