I’ve tried GTA Online a couple times and have never felt more lost in a game. Is this some kind of story arc? Do you have to be a certain level to access it?
There is a new career mode of sorts, you choose a roll, like Businessman or Biker Gang or weapons dealer I believe are the initial choices. It starts you out with money to purchase a business a car or two and some other stuff I forget... Has some intro missions to help you get a feel for it, and then you go to prompts like the single player game to get other missions. Or you can go to start menu and find them there.
A lot of missions are tied to your level but you can level up pretty fast. If you have friends do a couple of heists to get level up fast or race.
It is to me the best GAAS ever, tons to do and they release new content all the time. I've been playing since PS3 days off and on and its better than ever right now. Like Bluecondor said, they updated in June to where all of the content that previously had to be done in multiplayer lobbies can now be done single player.
I guess the most recent update messed with Cayo Perico heist which was the easiest way to make money. It sounds like its still doable just harder than it was before. I like the Dr. Dre missions, not sure if there is a level cap but they are pretty fun missions. Nightclub is great for passive income, most of the businesses you purchase or steal supplies and then do a mission to sell it all. I check out
rockstar.com every thursday to see what businesses are paying double to max income.
Or some days I just drive around cause there are so many freaking cars. Haven't tried the new missions that released this morning. Reddit is bitching about them cause the new update is going to be released over several weeks. Personally I like that better cause I can make money to buy everything.
Anyways, if you jump in I hope you enjoy it, it can be a little overwhelming but once you get a business groove down you can start expanding into other things and uncover a lot to do.
