Here's the problem with this... It's that the majority of lobbies, people are grinding the mode. It's currently a 2x payout because of halloween, and the majority of players are entering the mode and trying to make the games last as long as possible and go as many rounds as possible to grind money and RP, not actually trying to win until the final round.
The result is a like 22 minutes of doing nothing, and then 60 seconds of trying to actually win.
Every mode breaks down like this.
I've played a few matches and people seem to be pretty serious about attempting to win, I've played some pretty long matches though.
I guess its down to who you're playing with and what game plan they have for the game mode.
I got a lot of fun out of it playing with friends, but yeah, its really hard to like the:
- Overpriced shit
- Long ass loading times, its almost a cloud view simulator <-- most important problem
- Idiotic player base in hydras
- Still no animals online, breaks the immersion
- Framerate is all over the place in PS4
Those things made all my friends stop playing it.
I hope they can fix those things for GTA 6 online.
I've found the loading times on starting up the game in GTA Online takes longer than going to single player and loading Online, other than that the loading times haven't been too long for me, it could be faster tough.
Coming from the PS3 version of the game until I got the game on PC when it launched the loading times are a godsend here, not sure what it's like on the PS4 and Xbox One though.
Also, damn, how bad does the frame-rate get?
I was thinking of picking this game up when I get a PS4 Pro to play with my console friends on PSN, hopefully they make a patch for the Pro so it could potentially run better.
I can take just about handle the drop from 60 fps on PC to 30 fps on console, but sub 30? I had enough of that on the PS3 version I don't know if I can take that again lol.
- Horrible p2p servers that you have to reconnect to and reconnect to and reconnect to and...
- Longest loading times in videogame history
- The worst playerbase of all time including MOBAs and you have to interact with them to do heists
Hope they fix this crap up in RDR2.
P2P... Oh man, I can't even be bothered to complain about how annoying the P2P sessions are.
I really hope Red Dead Redemption 2 has dedicated servers, I can see Rockstar pushing the boundaries with RDR2 seeing as it's a current gen game with no last gen consoles holding it down, it will be incredible to see what they do with it, it would be cool to see more enter-able interiors online too.
The games vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.
I can't help but eagerly await in anticipation for more single-player gameplay and also gameplay and details about the multiplayer, Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer was absolutely amazing!
Red Dead Redemption is in my top ten favourite games of all time, and it's my favorite Rockstar Game, RDR2 is a dream come true, it feels so unreal to have the game finally revealed!
