GTA Online is overrated.

[R1ch4rd N1x0n]

GTA Online was lit back in the old days, around the first 1-2 years after the game was released. But I honestly can't get into it now, because it's full of nonsense and stuff I can't understand. Returning players who played the game on old gen consoles (Xbox 360, PS3) will find the game SIGNIFICANTLY different than it used to be, and it will not feel the same at all. The "businesses" and ♥♥♥♥ they've added, as well as the stupid flying cars and bikes. This is Grand Theft Auto V, not Back to The Future. Everything is just so complicated it honestly ruins the experience.

GTA Online is honestly just so weird nowadays.... and I cannot get into it anymore...

Additionally, it feels like Rockstar have been pushing GTA Online too far... they've continued to update GTA Online for the past 8 years now, and honestly it's ridiculous that they haven't moved onto a new game already, whether that be GTA 6, Bully 2, etc, they just need to call the quits and move on for gods sake.

Flying bikes and ♥♥♥♥ made me stop playing.

Wait until the GTA Online fanboys come in and stir up a firestorm and vehemently defend this game while completely denying any and all facts about the current state of GTA Online.

I think even people who play gta online a lot gonna admit that it’s full of issues and bugs .

I agree.
GTA always was more leaned towards real world.
I don't want to see flying cars and laserguns, PLEASE.
it could be a job or mode but not for the open world.
There are plenty of vehicles that are fun.
Imo heists fit perfectly and even businesses fit. I remember vice city you could buy taxi service and get money daily or something like that.
I just wished you didn't need to resupply all of the businesses all the time. Should be low but TrUe passive income iykwim.

I guess it's the whole "games as a service" thing, the GTA V engine is old , and all Rockstar need to do is add some new stuff every so often and people seem to lap it up, I can't imagine development costs being a lot and apparently GTA Online generated a billion dollars in revenue for 2020 alone, 600 million dollars in 2019 etc so the profit margin must be insane. That's basically why it's taken them years to get round to GTA 6, that would be a huge investment in time and money, whereas they can just add some flying bikes into GTA 5 online and make more in one year than most new AAA games make in a lifetime

Grand Flying Missile Bike, rip.

All the businesses got added to public lobbies to bring "life" to it. And death. Much death and "griefing".

Overrated, yes, but can still be fun with the right crowd.

Yeah, it sucks. It's almost like they took it in the direction of Saints Row with all the ridiculous cars and weapons.

this is exactly how i feel.
i like the business activities, but i got the game under the impression that gameplay would revolve around cars and firearms, not flying cars and orbital strikes.
as such, in combination with the abundance of cheaters, i can really only enjoy the online game in solo mode.
strongly reminds me of how the saints row franchise went down hill after the second game, when the developers got the idea that pure lunacy was the way forward.

the abundance of missed opportunities also strike me as tragic.
what is even the point of boats, for instance?
and while i take issue with the forced pvp at its core, it still could have been so much more interesting if instead of the game just telling everyone to go kill a certain player trying to sell their goods and painting a target on them, other players could have had to use the sightseer app for instance to track such activity.
the MOC or similar could have been used for limited radar coverage instead of having everyone visible on the minimap at all times.
in fact, there is little point currently in using anything but a weaponized vehicle, but if players were not always visible (or at least less so) then players could have made use of less conspicuous vehicles and careful driving for stealth, made use of "secret" routes and shortcuts and combined this with loading goods into boats at key locations etc.
and so on, and so on.

thats just the start of if really, i can think of many more examples that could have made the game a lot more interesting than "hop on rocket bike and go to marker".
i take the fact that recent updates try to limit the players arsenal (cayo perico, auto shop heists) to be quite indicative in this respect.

there is (sadly) no other game like this at the moment but still,
so many missed opportunities.

Cheater riddled and filled with mircotransactions, and then look at how bad they butchered Red Dead Online, its even worse.

Rockstar has most certainly fallen from grace, at least how their business practices are concerned.

Because it was intentionally built around fun in the early stages, therefore it explains why you were having fun back in the days. Now though they saw huge profit out of it as they keep milking it, and you can't put fun and profit together.

I also hate businesses and flying vehicles.

Yep, though on YouTube, there's some who still constantly defend GTA V/Online by calling it "Hurr durr, GTA V and Online are still gud, you just need to buy shark cards if you suck", which is something children would say.

Yes it is. Just because the game tell you to do it, doesnt mean its not being a jerk or griefing.
