New GTA Online update adds Trackmania-style races

Absolute bullshit, game still gives me the same crap that happened at launch, it hasn't been fixed at all.

It has a really high download/upload requirement (moreso than most games...for some reason) so if you have a less than stellar connection, don't even bother trying, it's a goddamn trainwreck.

After 3 years still around top 10 with twitch streams. Usually included in top 10 digital sales on consoles each month. 500 MILLION dollars in revenue from ridiculous people buying shark cards. They are still adding more content updates and will continue to do so throughout 2016. Tons of people still playing the game to this day.

Trainwreck? I think the only trainwreck is your internet connection.
 
GTAO is still a lot of fun. Glad to see Rockstar is supporting it. But obligatory I still want SP content.

Hey prick, I didn't say a single thing about the games popularity, I said: if you have a lesser internet connection, don't bother because it's a goddamn trainwreck.

I'm actually a big fan of GTAO when it works, but every single time all my friends get together for a session, at least ONE of us will have connection problems, and this has persisted for 3 years, so I'm allowed to describe my experiences as a trainwreck.
 
I've been really wanting to put this back in my game rotation. This really puts it over the top. GTAO is the game I always wish I had more time for. Looks like I need to make that happen.
 
GTA races have always been one of my least favorite parts of the game. I enjoyed the car handling for just driving around, but will it translate into a fun track mania racing style game? I just don't think the handling is tight or precise enough.

I avoid most stunt races like the plague because they're awful, if I see one pop up in the quick race option I get out as fast as I can. There's very few that I've been in that I'd consider "good".
 
Looks awesome!


Haha random sidenote my friend always said if he were to ever make a porn parody it would be based on Metallica's Cunning Stunts with the "C" and "St" reversed.

Anytime your want to play man just send me a pm. Looks crazy and I hoping the race suits are form fitting for female characters. I can make cash easy now with VIP and stuff so it's not a concern. Just need to put work in. I finished off Far Cry 4 for the last 2 weeks and finishing Saints Row 4 on PS4 so I'll be getting back into GTA Online tomorrow and this weekend for some money making.
 
Another new mode that hardly anyone will bother playing.
This isn't being cheeky, either. Nobody really does jobs outside of heists.

I think it is you who is talking bullshit.

GTA:O is nothing like it was at launch. It is perfectly smooth and stable on my sessions, and we play in a crew of 8 or more for hours and hours at a time. Our longest session was 18hrs straight. Freeroam, activities and heists.

By your own admission, if you have a problem then it is your shitty connection.
 
How big is the PC version nowadays? Is it close to 100GB already after all the content updates?

67GB according to steam, takes up 1/3 of my SSD, but can't stand the load times without one.

-----------

So none of the props are in the creator.... what a missed opportunity.

no wonder GTAO has made over half a billion dollars from shark cards with those prices

absolute bullshit

at least these cars only cost 30$ in real money, way better than the $100 yatch


also no updates for the creator? wtf
 
Entered a Stunt Premium Race. Entry Fee is 20.000$ and Payout was 100.000$. I was in 1st place the whole time and then halfway through Lap 3, some idiot rams me and flips me over. This is why I don't play races anymore. People have to be unsporting in order to win.

Also, why do people still take off-screen pictures, when every console and PC's have a "screenshot" button? lol
 
how do i play gta online?

every time i boot up on pc its just mayhem, and then i end up joining some boring games

exactly my experience
Long downtimes between matches/gamemodes, often crazy hackers, just a long way to gain anything overall.
Feels like a grind, and most of the rewards you can buy are kinda questionable

But the basegame, the basemechanics are pure fun. A shame the economics and the matchmaking are messed up like that
 
Have they changed GTA Online to make it easier/faster to play, or do you still have to jump through tons of bullshit hoops to actually get to it? I tried it on the PS3 and just getting into it was such convoluted nonsense. Tempted to pick up the game on PS4 as well.
 
The only reason I couldn't get into GTA Online is due to not being able to turn off voice chat permanently. I would mute people but as soon as someone new entered the room I would hear them. And it generally ended up being the worst of the worst.

It's a shame. This looks great.

Nearly 3 years later and they still haven't fixed this. Insane.
 
Man 10.1 million for all the new vehicles. Thats like what ÂŁ80-90 worth? It's such a drag to earn cash in this game. I had like 15 million a few weeks ago and now left with 12k.

Also why the hell are Shark cards like 50% cheaper on PC? :\

Seems a lot better in my expereince on the new consoles rather the last gen. I don't have any problems getting into lobbies or matches. At the start up loading screen just choose Online and you'll be in. Loading times can sometimes be slow but once your in then it should be fine.
 
I was playing one of the new stunt races, was on the final lap while I was in second and was kicked 'due to an unknown network error'. Then later another game was stuck on the results screen and I had to go into Task Manager just to end the game.

The lobby system is still an horrible POS, if that's your question.
 
The motorcycle races are my favorite of all the stunt races. The cars just can't do the same fun things that motorcycles can do. And those tunnels just feel weird with the cars, they bounce over the surface.
 
Man, the online support for this game is just unreal.

I have a question. If I wanted to buy this for PS4 to play with my friend (I currently have it on PC), could I jump straight into Online? I have no desire or need to play the single player campaign on PS4, I just want to go Online with my bud.
 
Is the driving still terrible though? I could never do any of the car races online because the controls just didn't feel tight enough for them. A lot of bullshit physics and floaty-ness.

I like the idea for this though

Think the most you might have to do, is get through the tutorial (North Yankton) part.
 
Is PC still full of hackers?

There was a recent ban wave. So I'm sure they are slowly figuring out new ways to mod. But for the most part things are okay.

Maybe you were just driving some bad cars? The super and sport class cars handle really well.
 
Have they fixed the way the camera behaves when doing stunts? Going through a loop in the Cunning Stunts update and having the camera spas out completely ruined what was a great idea.
