The GTA community is awful

[Astrolonomics]

Lets be honest, the GTA community is one of the worst out there. I ain't some Rockstar shill or whatever else people will say against me, but this community is awful. They give you almost no help at all and act very arrogantly and elitist towards anyone who doesn't have the knowledge that they have when someone doesn't understand them. Also when people criticize their mods the creators have a fit and block these people. And it's not just this game that has the problem, but I mean the entire GTA community, especially on places like GTAForums. So to ask you guys, why does this community have so many awful people in it?

[Rager]

I mean you guys made the point for me. Rockstar consider it cheating also. The openIV thing they did not want people changing their story or vision of the game. They caved in because this community is trash and was outraged about it. But rockstar was well within rights to not want people cheating aka modding.



Like I said, it is a common sense thing. You young people need to understand that modding has always been consider cheating, Even in the SNES days with game genie up until now. Just because YOU don't want to admit it does not mean it is not true.

Clearly anyone who says modding is not cheating has to be young since gamers since the Fing nes days knew this.

This is so lame. Take Two need to take down all modders?

Modding is not cheating, and I'm 44. Born 1975.

No, they need to take down the cheaters.

i wish people knew the difference between modding and cheating tho if your modding this game in single player get fivem

I just love how Rockstar tells you that the only way to help "clean" up the online community is to use the in game menu to report toxic players. The same menu that closes every time you die, to bad there are griefers, and modders that are spawn rapeing you so that you can't even get the menu to open for more than .05 seconds. More than once my group of friends and I, all on our own, not bothering anyone rock crawling a canon, get spawn camped for over 15minutes until i got lucky and spawned under him so he couldn't kill me at once. Great way to show love to you true players Rockstar.

I haven't even played GTA online (I plan to), and I have no idea what to expect, but I'm tempering my expectations.

I actually don't much care about people acting ♥♥♥♥♥♥, that's just whatever, but if there's unavoidable ass-tons of cheating as there is with games like PUBG, then my experience with it will be short lived.

Anyone who thinks modding the single player experience is cheating is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane, you have to be a ridiculous megalomaniac to want to have that rigid control over how people play a game you make in the privacy of their home. It's cheating online which is a problem.

Remember that games since the early days often CAME with actual cheats for players to use which they could have gotten rid of. Also many mods don't in fact cheat the game but add a different yet still challenging way of playing it. Mods are great, in fact I come from a time when modding first became popular, and that was with the doom and Quake era.

Id software ENCOURAGED modding because they're cool, they don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about how people play the single player game they created, and they like to see the creativity of others putting a twist on a their existing creation so long as it's not screwing other other players online.

To say modding the game in singleplayer is cheating is absolutely INSANE, there's no argument against it that doesn't make you seem like a childish, controlling megalomaniac.

To cheat is to leverage an unfair advantage, and there are so many mods and total conversions out there for so many games, which simply don't accomplish this, thus it's a completely baseless claim to say that modifying and adding content to an existing game always qualifies as cheating.

And seriously what kind of psychotic crab bucket mentality is it to care about whether somebody who you don't know uses cheats to play a game you released into the world?

How do you know they are modders? Did they tell you they mod singleplayer?

See folks you have here is someone who does not like hearing the truth, and goes on a epic rant moving the goal post.



I stated a simple fact, Changing a game any game from the developers vision of said game is cheating that is it.


That is all the point i am making, The community does not like to read the truth, so go on this rant about how modding is ok, or devs allow it, blah blah. Had nothing to do with anything. That does not change the fact at all.


If I make a game, and you change said vision of game by modding it. You are cheating in my game. It is not a big deal like you all making it out to be.


I mean I understand this community is so warped, that they are trying to change what is well known by most people.

You can cheat in single player games, and modding is a form of cheating.



Sorry if you all want to go on some epic rant about it. It is not like cheating in single player games is bad. Noone even said that, I'm just here to get the facts right. To say modding is not cheating is false.

half these games are pvp fps, or are pure pvp games ( mobas ), so i guess the competitive setting can more or less justify it

but sandboxes games such as GTA where people would actually spend some of their money to destroy your shipment and camp your spawn for 0 rewards but their own twisted pleasure while you're just minding your pve business are different ( and not gonna talk about heist leavers and the amount of script kiddies that this game is famous for), GTA online is one of a kind in terms of toxicity for many reasons
