Whats the point of playing this game online?

What’s the point of playing this game online? I’ve completed it 3 times, on PS3, PS5, and PC. But why play it online? You do missions, make money, and then what?

What's the point of life mate?

Do missions (work).

Maybe get married and have kids, amass money and die.

The online life is escapism and sometimes it's good to escape.

Your life must be really sad mate..

Different endings. Also my first attempt was on PS3, so then i wanted to try on PC with better graphic. And on PS5 just to try new generation of consoles with new dualsense.

At least in gta you get to re-spawn after being killed

There is no point in playing GTA online.

Everything you can buy is so crazy overpriced that you will spend countless hours grinding for cash. You can shorten the grind by buying the crazy overpriced shark cards where $50 will buy you ONE vehicle that is mostly copy/pasted assets.

Every aspect of GTA online is designed around making you waste as much time as possible in order to artificially increase the amount of time it takes to earn cash.

The mechanic regularly doesn't answer the phone, and when he does it's not unusual for him to deliver your car miles away from you on a different street.

Every single mission has you driving nearly all the way across the map.

The loading screens are literally designed to take longer in online mode, with extra unnecessary loading screens where you can actually hear everything happening in the session it is supposedly trying to load.

It is super common for at least one player to lose connection during a heist finale, forcing everyone else to waste time loading back into free roam and re-starting the heist.

Even with their new super ineffective "anti-cheat" there are still tons of cheaters destroying public lobbies, only now there are innocent legit players being banned due to false positives (because BattleEye is one of the worst anti-cheat systems available)


Literally the only appeal to GTA online are all the vehicles and garages for vehicles you can get. There used to be a mod to add all of that so called "free" content to single player so people could enjoy it without being forced to waste a ton of time grinding cash or waste thousands of dollars buying the crazy overpriced shark cards. Unfortunately Rockstar chose to go after the mod maker that created a single player mod that only worked in single player instead of putting ANY effort into removing cheaters online.

The first time I joined GTAO, a modder instantly bumped me up to level 35 and found all of those little cocaine stashes for me. He was a nice modder.

I enjoyed that this turned into a philosophical inquiry.

Maybe the point of gta online was the friends we made along the way.

There are a ton of GTAO achievements which is why I've been playing so much lately.

I remember playing this game for the first time as level 1 player who manages to steal some pistols and a bike from npc and cops and decided to shoot and run the modder who was standing still with his neon shotaro bike
After than he instantly teleported near me and started ragdolling me in the clouds although I tried and did shoot him in the head more than 10 times but it never affected because of the god mode

They don't seem to troll you unless you do something first, or give them any sort of reason to do so. lol
