Player base is dropping

[samplexample]

I noticed that there has been a mass exodus of GTAV players. Is this due to Rockstar not dealing with hackers, or the no mods in multiplayer? Can people not run the game on their rigs?

I played Online with my transfered character until one day I met a guy who shot cars at me with his assault rifle. At that moment I quit Online on PC for now. Sticking to SP with mods for now.

yeah gta 5 pc is dead nobody is playing it anymore its completely totally dead i mean its only the FOURTH MOST PLAYED GAME ON STEAM RIGHT NOW.

GTAV is very popular and everyone has a copy on at least one platform. But the console versions probably have more players than the pc version bc of the support the pc version is getting.

That graph actually shows that the online player count is stabalizing. The biggest drop was in the first month, since half may there isn't that much decline.

LOL well (1)the hackers will eventually be taken care of, (2) why do you need to mod GTAV? most of the GTAIV mods were all just aestetic bs anyways, and (3) ha ha what nerd posers!

(i know you not talked to me just giving my opnion)
the graphics of gta v are not that good, so a more photorealistic textures and high resolution ones are welcome in my opnion. also already use a mod to play with doubled city density (more cars pedestrians etc) and i feel the game should be this way in first place. i miss the city being alive in multyplayer, city is pretty much Dead no animals, desert citys. wish they are like in story mod (modded), well this is the only things i want to mod in the game.

1-high res textures,
2-and wish the city in multyplayer is alive like in the story mode.

Very cool, if true.

I agree. There should be animals and more pedestrians in Online. But these are all things that can be added.

Rockstar might not jump into action when the customers complain, but theyre listening and they will fix it with future patches.

Will drop even more when Batman comes in 2 weeks.

I will not burn my money on that one till I see a massive amount of reviews, the previous part was a let down.

The previous part was not developed by Rocksteady.

i can tell you the 10 major reasons for this.

1. no anti-cheat (most people cheat and get banned).
2. no anti-cheat (people are annoyed and dont play it anymore)
3. no proper matchmaking (lobbies are empty or nearly noone joins)
4. lobbysystem is garbage (i dont wanna watch a wall of text for like 5-10mins)
5. lag (people lag so even if u headshot them they wont die, or u crash into their cars and they like teleport 100 metres further away)
6. loading times are insanely long (5 mins to start the game, or to start a job, even with ssd & good internet)
7. bad matchmaking (which also is part of the reason it lags, u get queued with china/russia even tho you might be from germany)
8. ui and some features are really flawed (pegasus spawn for example, and ui is a bit confusing and u cant see everything right away)
9. performance issues
10. bugs

This are my main reasons too, except for performance issues, the game runs great on my 760 gtx, unlike the witcher were im forced to 30 fps.

Yes we all agree that the online needs anti-cheat. I think the connection/matchmaking issues and performance are subjective issues and have nothing to do with the game. the game runs fine for me, max graphics, looks great. I think the problem is that a lot of people dont know a 760 gtx from intergrated graphics.

Of course it is, and the longer they allow the modding issue to fester the worse it will become.

And the population is way above 400k on PC, you're not including the stand alone clients from R* themselves for the game. But ye, this is pretty bad as bad goes.

lol yall are delusional...game is dead

You want to look at a dead game, go look at the GunZ 2 forum.. They have an AVG of less than 400 players a month....

^ Example of a dead game

This game is far, far from dead.

Hardly dead, your delusional if you honestly think the game is dead....

Has the player base shrunk by a massive amount? Yes it has.

[Mo0on]

Dead? I can connect to online at 6am before I'm about to go to work and there is always people blowing eachother up.

The player-base dropping is more along the lines of people getting banned and not wanting to shell out $70 to hack again.
