You can take this enhanced and shove it, back to legacy for me. No text chat is a deal breaker

I like playing multiplayer. I liked being able to communicate with people and help them when they needed it for the last 12 years. I don't like voice chat.

I'm sorry this concept is so hard for you to understand, but your inability to comprehend basic english is not my problem.

Oh no, I understand it. You want to use an outmoded form of communication in a game where the standard on every other platform for 20 years has been voice.

Let me guess, you will want them to add Morse code next right?

BTW, as rockstar pointed out, there is still text communication in game. Use the phone. Its what its for. Send a text.

You can pretend all you want, but we all know they took away a communication method in a 12 year old game and it's objectively worse now because of it. The remaining methods are crap and always have been, which is why some people are so pissed off about it.

60 char limitation, 1 person only, 1-2 minute time frame between messages. It's garbage. It can't be used to help people that need it, even if the people playing ever checked messages on their phone, which they don't. It takes longer to send messages then pressing a single key and takes even more time away from actually playing the heist/mission/whatever.

At 100+ wpm I can type really quickly. Pressing 1 key and then communicating something to someone to help them was a great time saver for me. It's not anything near the same thing with their crappy text message system, and you can pretend otherwise all you want. It's bull****.

It's a console port. They didn't remove it, it hasn't been implemented.

Phone chat is garbage but i don't miss chat, i don't have issue with voice chat.

You think public lobbies are the right place to chat and meet people ?

Playing in public and doing missions/heists with randoms is how I've made most friends in this game.

GTA Legacy was a console port as well. It's the same engine. They literally could have copied and pasted the code from one to the other, but chose not to.

My theory is they're prep'n their tools to funnel text chat (and voice) through their servers, then use that to train in-house AI, which will fuel the npc's language on the fly in gta6. Then, masses of people on the streets with various signs trying to sell me ingame cheats.

But yea 'currently' gives some hope for its return. Not everyone is in a position to voice chat every minute they play, text chat still gives opportunity to communicate. Legacy had the option to disable it - which anyone that didn't like - could.

This is the exact reason.

[Tamamo-no-Bae]

I don't enjoy voice chat, and prefer to talk with text.
The main reason I have not moved from legacy is the lack of text chat, so I very much want this to be fixed.

[Devilish Dave]

Good.

The game doesn't need text.
If they have it, then they need to put effort into monitoring it, dealing with the reports from all the fragile people.

Like this, they don't need to moderate the text channel, nor do they need to deal with reports and all that time and perhaps even money can be put towards far more important elements of the game or future games.

Like this, reports will also primarily focus on cheaters, so that too will be more quickly handled as opposed to when a large portion of the reports were just butthurt individuals.

Edit: It annoyed me anyways when people appear to be inactive during a quest and failing, only to be greeted by a biblically long message from them.
