This is what a monopoly looks like

This is what a monopoly looks like.

Without any form of actual competition for freeroam crime-simulator multiplayer, Rockstar has been on cruise-control since the release of GTA V's PC port.

Basically:-

>They have cut off any update from reaching Singleplayer, intentionally placed a script that instantly despawns and prevents the PC players from equipping/driving new DLC content in Singleplayer.

>Changed Online policies to instantly ban and wipe all progress and cash on people with no chance of appealing to the ban on the Support site, even if you're innocent and some script-kiddie spawned money on you by force.

>Raised prices of DLC items to be more expensive than the game itself and keeping the value of microtransactions the same, an example being the most expensive shark card being $100 for $8M in-game and the most expensive own-able car in the game is $5.7M.

>Despite advancing its gamemodes, old fun gamemodes are neglected and riddled with bugs after each update is dropped, even the new gamemodes are restricted to Public lobbies that are prone to letting you be griefed and harassed by other players with zero repercussions, but defending yourself from said griefers gets you labeled as a bad sport and makes you pay a fee as punishment.

>Utterly horrendously AI that intentionally screws you over and the most bullshit form of artificial difficulty that puts Dark Souls into shame, with perfect accuracy on low-range weapons from 3 blocks away, being able to survive five .50 cal sniper shots, as well as being able to aim aircraft guns in 360 degrees while players can only aim them in a fixed forward position.

This game needs to have a competition to force it to improve on the next iteration when GTA VI comes out, otherwise Rockstar will take their sweet time milking the fuck out of it and stay dominant in the freeroam multiplayer crime-simulator genre.

Its crazy that all this is actually true, now that i think about it

Cockstar has always been literal scum, and anyone who supports them needs to get cancer and die.

>take forever to release heists
>some of them are actually kinda fun
>haven't made a single fucking thing of substance since

>he doesn't hack and have LODSAMONE while shitting on anyone who tries to ruin your fun

you have only yourself to blame. its fucking e z

You have to pay for hacks that let you do such thing without getting banned in an hour, dude.

bump

its not that hard to find good mods for free.

even if you are incapable enough where you need to pay someone to get mods with retard proof safeties, you will still be getting an infinitely better deal than paying rockstar.

I hate cheating but this is the only game where I feel its justified. its grand theft fucking auto the entire premise of the game is you being a cheating criminal. shame on rockstar

Just recently started playing again a month ago and I think it's fairly easy yet time consuming to get money I own all the biker business's and export 4 top of the line cars every hour that I'm on. I've hit the point where I don't know what to buy anymore to increase my profit so I'm sitting on 40 mill. I can understand people being upset that they can't get everything right away but just cheat and get thrown into the modder pool and play the game that you wanted. Here's one of my cats.

>he doesnt grind pacific heist glitch
kek i have 10M$ yacht, office in arcadius, shitton of cars and warstock vehicles and i play rarely.

you belong to the most retarded kind of people existing. how are the people on the servers responsible for you playing a game which you dont like?

Some hacker dropped about $100,000 on me earlier out of nowhere against my will. I didn't bank or spend it and immediately reported him and left the server. Am I gonna get banned for that shit? I just bought this last week I saw a lot of people saying they've been banned for that.

>buy GTAV on PS3
>be constantly told "heists are coming! don't worry! we're working on it!" while they're covertly making the next-gen and PC versions for a year
>they don't even give me a discount coupon to upgrade

Rockstar really frosted my tits with that one

also a trophy requiring reaching rank 100 is pretty bullshit

They need to wipe the obviously glitched world records and fix prices or payouts so a fucking t-shirt doesn't cost me $850.

how does me cheating have to do with me not liking the game? I love it, I just don't want to pay money to buy all the shit rockstar keeps adding.

absolutely massacring whiney little shits like you in god mode is hilarious too.

if its only $100,000 you will be fine. rockstar only gets suspicious if your bank starts to approach the $60 million mark. they check suspicious accounts by running a bank log on your account and if they notice you gained like $30 million within the span of 10 minutes, you will be most likely be hit with a week ban

>trophy hunting
Fuck you, I hope more games add absurd trophies so faggots like you start rethinking their life choices.

Did you grind that Heist 50 times perfectly with zero money loss? Besides, my point is about how out-of-touch Rockstar is because they have zero competitors, causing them to slouch and milk their cash cow until it inevitably dries.

My beef is with a jacket costing +20K, t-shirts are rather tame.

beeen thinking about fucking over my own account just to give people in game free cash, whats the best way to
1 give others cash without getting the red flags out on them
2 keep the red flags off me as long as possibule so its worth getting a reset and a month ban.

i realy want to say fuck u to rockstar since they have been lazy cunts and tryign to scum money out of people

It was just an example you silly goose! I don't even know how much things cost except that they cost way too much in general.

>They have cut off any update from reaching Singleplayer, intentionally placed a script that instantly despawns and prevents the PC players from equipping/driving new DLC content in Singleplayer

Is this true? That's actually quite funny


>Despite advancing its gamemodes, old fun gamemodes are neglected and riddled with bugs after each update is dropped
Not sort of quite rockstars fault with old content being neglected by the community, though the community is a product of the game in GTA IV people would play anything because it was only way to rank up and for "fun" meanwhile the gtao community don't see these side activities worthwhile because it doesn't make them enough money
These freeroam activities is reaction from the community bitching about there's nothing to do in freeroam so rockstar added alot of shit both pvp and pre but again same problem as above
Personally I believe these freeroam activities should be there own lobby type with no level advantages and remove the buzzard savage hydra and lazer

>, even the new gamemodes are restricted to Public lobbies that are prone to letting you be griefed and harassed by other players with zero repercussions, but defending yourself from said griefers gets you labeled as a bad sport and makes you pay a fee as punishment.

Yeah, everything is absurdly expensive now, you used to be able to buy a jacket and new shoes just by robbing a liquor store, now you need to finish a mission just to afford a hat.

I really like the online game but the load times are awful, it also crashes a lot

GTA Online would be good if it were just Grand Theft Auto but online. It's not though; it feels more like a grind heavy free to play mmo than it does an open world crime game.

I did it 2x in a row and went from 30k to around 730k I thought that was pretty good

So i grinded my way to level 140 on xbox 360 with the classic "wait 15 minutes doing nothing to get full rewards" but i never went into the PC or next-gen consoles versions yet.

What did i miss ?

the only people who play GTA multiplayer are 12 years old
stop embarassing yourself

only give to friends or beggars, anyone else is guaranteed all kinds of jelly of your mods because they are too stupid or too jewish to have them themselves. be generous but only reveal your power level to those you know you can trust not to report you

I worry about RDR2's online mode.

I actually like Sleeping Dogs than most of the GTA games. The only GTA game that was better than Sleeping Dogs was the new GTA.

Wish they made a sequel. The Japan atmosphere was too good

Problem is, OP, Rockstar has Rockstar money, that's the only way they can afford to develop something like this. You won't see any competition, simply, because it's too expensive to compete in that market.

An open-world sandbox game is an expensive endeavor, it's even more when you have an online world that you have to populate with "interesting" things to do.

>Japan
Sleeping Dogs is Hong Kong

...

i wanted to do a wide speard thing though, like just go into a room fuck around oding ceo work them bam just drop like 1mill worth of money to each person while doing my work then leave like 10 mins after it stoped.

>intentionally placed a script that instantly despawns and prevents the PC players from equipping/driving new DLC content in Singleplayer

This one isn't a thing depending on what you use. Latest version of ENT doesn't despawn cars.

I made this post because my concerns are the same as this guy's ().

I grew up playing Rockstar titles and heavily enjoyed SA-MP, I was excited when they first announced Online because we get to enjoy an official Multiplayer GTA by the devs themselves, only to be heavily disappointed by it afterwards.

Seeing it grow like this really leaves a bad taste in my soul, it's like seeing your childhood friend grow up to be a junkie.

also whats the best way? just a mod menu or is there a script i can use?

No, you don't have the right to post a reaction image in this situation. YOU are the retard here, not him.

Shame SA-MP was always shit

I wasn't the guy who made the Japan remark, It was to laugh that the fact that Americans think Hong Kong is in Japan.

some menus let you remotely, continuously drop money on peoples heads. you can infinitely drop money on everyone in the server from anywhere on the map if you have the right mods.

I think niggermenu lets you do that if i'm not mistaken

I'm the user that posted the Japan comment. It was just a kinda joke , but I actually thought it was japan the whole time I first played it. And than when I posted the comment on Sup Forums years ago I was dead serious in thinking it was japan and people thought I was trolling.

I just want an unranked freemode so I can play replicate playing San Andreas with cheats on with my friends online. Riot mode, all weapons, etc.

I know you're not the guy who thought Sleeping Dogs was in Japan. But it sounds like you responded to the wrong person with the image since was also reacting to the original poster referring to Sleeping Dog's atmosphere.

No I used the right post to respond to, since it was your post that made me laugh

I retried the game a couple of months back with the native trainer mod, didn't touch the multiplayer, only fucked around on single player for about 10 minutes. The next day I got an email saying I was temporarily banned from the multiplayer for violating their "Online Features Code of Conduct". Rockstar can go fuck themselves, I didn't even touch the shitty multiplayer.

I've played the Singleplayer for like 5 hours, the rest is all from GTA Online, playing together with friends.
We meet every Thursday, play a racing playlist and it never gets boring because of all the free shit they add. Also, creator update was the best shit ever.
After the playlist we usually play one of the other game modes which are added FOR FREE in the game.

No i wasn't paid for this post, but I don't really agree with your post, since you get all the shit for free, just don't play open world multiplayer like the autist you are.

>Watch a video of race mode in GTA Online
>get reminded of MTA:SA racing maps
I bet they stole ideas from there

what if you and your friends got banned for "hacking" because someone gave you billions of dollars against your will

>mfw dealing with cops during VIP work
why do i do this to myself

Let me walk you through this to see if we both understand.
Original poster thinks Sleeping Dogs is in Japan.
Another poster tells him it isn't.
You react to the second poster with a reaction image, mocking him.
From my point of view, it looks like you are the original poster and you have some kind of warped perception of reality where the second poster is the retard in that situation.
I tell you this.
You say "I wasn't the guy that made the Japan remark, it was to laught at the fact that Americans think Hong Kong is in Japan".
I tell you that you replied to the wrong post in that case.
You tell me you didn't.
Is this correct?

Jesus Christ dude, give it up.

Most of us actually recieved tons of money but non of us (there are like ~20) of us, ever recieved a ban.
I know that we are non the whole community, just saying non of us had to ever deal with that

Just stfu already you autist.

You pointed out Sleeping dogs is in Hong Kong and not in Japan. I never played the game, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with this post until you pointed it out.

So I replied to the right post you aspie fuck

You are actually autistic. Go play in traffic.

...

Not until it's over
I wasn't the one who fucking pointed that out you retard, how are you not understanding this?

I wasn't the one who fucking pointed that out you retard

Then why are you even talking to me you aspie mong?

I responded to the post of the guy pointing it out you absolute autismus

Cops typically do have pinpoint accuracy irl.

Nobody can just give you billions of dollars.

All the cheaters can do is shower you with briefcases worth 2k dollars and no, they can't just drop million of them at the same time - you literally have to stand still and collect it.

The game doesn't ban you right away, you just need to collect an inhumane amount - which you don't if you just switch sessions when you see some fucker spawning money on you.

I have over 1400 hours played online, I've had this shit happen to me multiple times - totally, I would say I've collected about 500k like this, never banned.

>1400 hours online

damn son, are you dr. dragonballz?
How do you get such a high amount without creating maps nonstop

that's it, i'm giving up

Good

>you literally have to stand still and collect it.
Nope. Most mod menus actually allow you to pin shit to players, meaning that they can constantly spawn bags above your head. The ONLY way to get away from it is to stay in a vehicle.

>dr. dragonballz
Dunno who that is, but I suppose it's just another youtuber with loud and obnoxious intros?

>How do you get such a high amount
Playing with irl friends. Usually shortly post-patch when shitters don't have their cheats updated and you can enjoy public lobbies cheater-free.

Gta really is a fun game, you just need to have someone to play it with and suppress your childish greed and have everything instantly at no cost.

Dr. Dragonballz is the guy who shits out racing maps every day, one of the "big" map makers

I'm talking about gang members and random civilian NPCs being as accurate as highly trained military troops or professional militias for hire.

That's the real bullshit.

Well, my apology then.

Why does it take forever to lose wanted level
It's more efficient to just kill yourself 99% of the time

>GTAO content is literally free
>people complain about it costing money

>other game locks content behind a pay wall
>this is fine


???

>literally free
There are people who seriously believe this
Next you'll be saying that I can just get a car for free IRL, since I just have to work for it, right?

people are dumb user

didn't even finish my reply until popped up.
people really are retarded

yeah. that is just lazyness on Rock*'s part. It wouldn't be that hard to have an accuracy setting and change it for different AI's. none of which should be 100%. Military should have 85% at short/medium range with it decreasing exponentially as the distance increases.

>you have to pay for niggermenu
what the fuck is wrong with people

>It's totally free after you complete 20 heists, 37 crate missions, 22 specialist car sales, and 15 CEO missions :^)

>Rockstar is one of the biggest and most wealthy companies in video games
>Still can't make a better Multiplayer GTA than some autistic nerd coding in his mothers basement

Pathetic

This game was absolutely hamstrung by the sheer frequency and length of loading screens. I've never made the decision to not play something based on how long it would realistically take to load into a match, never mind the shit ping, hacking and difficulty of getting matched with someone who also speaks english

Wait, you really need to pay for the hacks?
I thought it was just some dudes scamming people online, what the fuck

You paid for GTAV and GTAOs launch content. Everything that came out after could have been locked behind £20 expansions like every other game but it's not. You didn't pay for the post launch content so you're not entitled to it.

Play the fucking game or buy a cash card.

>even if you're innocent and some script-kiddie spawned money on you by force.
that is just straight up not true, and anyone who has ever claimed that is a liar.

nigger menu apparently does, if anyone has an account can u upload the latest veresion so i can go spread the love to randoms in gta?

post yfw you didn't buy GTA V.

>mid gun fight against some cunt
>cops start joinging in
>die from being shot in the back

EVERY FUCKING TIMEEE

No thanks, I played enough San Andreas Multiplayer in its day that I don't need a second-rate dogturd fed to me by Rockstar to fill that niche I had for MP GTA.

Feels pretty good to not be underage and not have shit taste.

Sadly, this is probably the milestone that changed Rockstar, they'll probably just keep doing this with every game they make now.

I look forward to RDR2, and most likely RDO, but slowly they will inch in more DLC that requires Bronco Bucks. And if it works, we wont get any single player DLC

>no RDR2: undead nightmare

You do have shit taste though.
MTA:SA is objectively better

>HUUUR I dont want to have fun playing all these missions just to buy the useless stuff i want.

What the actual fuck kind of argument is that? people just want every single thing unlocked for them for free? you faggots would get bored.

the most fun shit you can do in a game is ride BMX and jump off of everything anyway, and the damn bike is only 500 in game dollars. You get 2000 dollars every 20 minutes for good behavior.

Mechanically, yeah, it is the better mod.

But in terms of community and servers SA MP was the better mod to use.

>2.2 million cars
>need to at least pay 4 million dollars to afford an office, warehouse, and attack helicopter just to have a decent moneymaker without dealing with randoms
>"free"

Retard.

cheat engine to get a shitload of cash

i was expecting single player dlc

i guess thats not happening now

Say it with me
>PC Gaming

>play race
>select 5 million dollar car
>drive

??????????????????????????????

what else do you want to do, buy it for free roam and drive around in circles like a retard `

it's a boring grind, i got banned for having a singleplayer zombie mod in my files. why don't they have a system in place for this kind of stuff?

my 500k was wiped and appeals were ignored. i was pretty let down by GTA Online, and would have much preffered something like SA-MP, more scripting freedom.

>there will never be a GTA 5 LS-RP

>buy a cash cards
>$20 can only get you 1.25 million dollars
>literally only enough for a single DLC car

Did you get dropped as a baby head-first?

>Agent and Bully are single player IPs
>won't ever be made since they can't be squeezed for microtransactions

come one people i know u all want free cash, i cant find a download to niggermenu v7.5 without paying for it and i know someone has it

Don't like it?
Don't buy it.

Yes it's sad, but they do whatever they want with their own games. If people stop buying it, they'll stop doing it.

I've played every single GTA, but did not buy GTAV.

>3 protag
>shitty radio stations revealed (first time ever).
>clearly showing PS4 footage as PS3

I knew it would be garbage. Sometimes, game companies are like people: put them on a pedestal and they'll just shit on you from greater heights.

So at this point it's obvious that Rockstar will focus on the multiplayer for RDR2, right?
