I'm worried about GTA V's longevity

[WingGamer20]

As much as I LOVE playing Grand Theft Auto V ever since it came out, as of the release of Smuggler's Run DLC, I'm starting to become very worried about the game's longevity in the near future, as more and more people keep on hating both GTA Online, and GTA V as a whole, primarily because it has to do with the use of 'Shark Cards', and Rockstar's clandestine (often ludicrous) corporate business decisions.

Not defending the game in any way, shape or form, but when will the user reviews ever recover? I totally understand why they protested the game with blood red, demonic negative reviews when Take-Two Interactive temporarily banned SP modding, but even now and then, I still keep on seeing more negative reveiws than there were positive ones. No wonder why GTA V's overall reviews have devolved to 'Mixed'.

As an SP modder, despite the fact that Script Hook V hasn't been updated for the new DLC yet, since the Hunter's return to GTA V, it has great potential for being used in wanted levels, for my copy of the game, exclusively at five stars, since the Hunter is an attack helicopter based on the AH-64 Apache, with some elements of the now-cancelled Comanche helicopter. However, despite the fact that Hunter has great potential as the replacement for the Savage (a Hind-inspired helicopter introduced in Heists), I have dealt with two anti-Smuggler's Run and anti-GTA V ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s on YouTube, saying that 'it is worse [than Gunrunning]...', and even one user called me a '♥♥♥♥♥♥' for being a 'novice modder', which is straight on dumb bullcrap.

I know that GTA V used to be really good, and now it has been going downhill pretty quickly, nowadays, but all of these hyperbolic 'negative reviews', Smuggler's Run hate and the 'Hunter is so underpowered and sh***y; worse heli ever!' bullcrap, does not reflect how GTA V needs to be overhauled and improved upon, and Rockstar couldn't even give two sh*ts about fixing the hacker issue in Online. I almost forgot to mention that Online is so grindy to the point of being virtually unplayable even for beginners. Now, it is safe to say that GTA V will most likely phase out of store shelves in... I dunno, the next year or two? Nobody knows when, but GTA V is getting closer to being as dead as the infamous 1983 E.T. game, or Bubsy 3D.

These were my personal worries I have for GTA V, but hey, it's Rockstar's responsibility, so what're you gonna do about it? I deeply apologize for posting this, since this is such a depressing thread explaining my personal worries. Whatever you do, whenever you do, make GTA great again!

UPDATE: Script Hook V has now finally been updated for Smuggler's Run DLC.

since the smuggeling dlc im kinda done, the dlc prices are too high every time

[jasonw]

I'm sorry, I don't keep up with things but is the ban on SP over? I saw you said "temporarily"

[WingGamer20]

Yes. Rockstar has already lifted that ban, by the modders' request.

I understand why. Online's a boring grindfest.

Holy crap! There is someone left playing this game speaking English

[iMoveFasterAlone]

I feel you.

The current gta is an experiment. Grew too big too fast and made R* a ton of cash. As long as this cow milk cash R* is happy.

Hunter? Depends on how we can modify it. Dependent on co-pilot?

Next dlc? Bikers 2? To get us back on the roads?

Time will show...

DLC costs game money, not real money. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with no patience buy Shark Cards.

Activision and EA Games are the money sluts. R* at least does it right. Making money off the dumb asses and giving DLC for free.

What they need to do is seperate the English speakers from the rest.

The Hunter has some customization options, but for me, I like to keep it stock. I don;t play Online, tho.

With _CP_'s 'mpsmuggler in SP' mod, it is possible to spawn that attack helicopter in SP, without it despawning each time. There was a file called 'vehicles.meta', which defines all the vehicle's characteristics, as well as the vehicle flags. It's kinda difficult to understand at first, but with experience, this can become easy. For example, giving the Hunter a 'FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT' flag will make that attack chopper eligible for spawning in wanted levels, in which 'dispatch.meta' will come into play.

The 'dispatch.meta' file dictates how vehicles with the 'FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT' flag spawn, during wanted levels.

The hunter is not even out yet?

[WingGamer20]

The Hunter is there, but you'll only get to pilot it, during those boring Cargo missions. So technically, it's not yet available for normal gameplay. In SP however, granted that you have _CP_'s 'mpsmuggler for SP' mod, you're able to spawn the Hunter, without it despawning each time.

Game is dying ... 80k players online

oh, ok. I knew it was avaiable in missions, but not purchaseable and thus not modifyable. So I wondered how they know what customization it has.

Ah all those tears to talk about a hunter that wasnt officially released to customize. Another ♥♥♥♥♥♥ crying about things they can do or not with mods that arent supported
