I remember doing the car selling dupe and military base exp exploits at launch. Then I transferred to PC and someone dropped a bunch of money on me, only got warned for it and still kept everything. Fun times.
I played it around launch and was coming from the GTA4 mindset of people just killing each other whenever. Why did this eventually become known as "griefing"? I played it some time later and you get put in a time out lobby if you kill people. So the devs even agreed with people crying.
People would just go to the military base and get jets or spawn in tanks to kill people or put hacked million dollar bounties on people for the whole lobby to chase. Shit was fun for the first year.
I liked GTAIV but the weapons were way overpowered in GTAV and took noticeably less skill to use. GTAIV didn't have super fast jets or super durable tanks. In GTAV, people could easily grab one of those and shit on everyone's day with ease.
It didn't help that GTAV also added a bunch of "convenience" features that people immediately took and flipped around into griefing tools. On GTAV, there are communities built around the act of killing yourself to deny other players the kill, and staying hidden/invulnerable until your opponent is no longer in a position to fight. The circumstances are clearly not the same.
GTAIV's free mode free-for-alls were actually surprisingly competitive outside of people figuring out glitches like clipping into the geometry and becoming invulnerable while still being able to shoot other people. I remember you could take down buttholes in Annihilators with the pistol if you were a good enough shot. The Buzzard in TBOGT was even easier since the canopy's shape makes it easier to hit and you start out with the best pistol in the game.
>buttholes >in annihilators
Those people were not buttholes at all, the annihilators are borderline useless in pvp, certainly weaker then a pistol. If someone came after you with an annihilator, they were just having a good laugh pretending to try to kill you while you got to have fun taking out a helicopter with loud scary guns. Like the onky way an annhilator could grief you is if you went afk and the player took time to line you up. This is coming from someone who could precisely take out vehicle tires with it whenever I wanted. Tires fine, but shooting a person? Lmfao good luck. Not like it had the explosive rounds like it did in 4, where it was a grief machine.
>GTA4 mindset
GTA4 multiplayer was much more fun and chill than GTA5 where you have third world kids with hacks instantly blowing you up along with the entire server.
I remember this Thai guy who had like 2000 hours in GTA 4 on PC and only played the racing modes.
Kek people still do that suicide shit even though KD isn't a thing anymore in freeroam. Oh well, a death's a death, if they want to do the work for me I'll take it
You remember how in the GTA4 MP missions and gamemodes there was always some troll deliberately ignoring the objective/teamkilling and wasting everyone's time? In GTA Online all of those missions and gamemodes are in freeroam. So fricking with people in freeroam who aren't interested in your K:D war is just as much griefing as it was to play Bomb Da Base and then go AFK on the other side of the city after running over all of your teammates.
I only played it for a little bit on PS3. I played it again when it got a PC port and it was pretty good until they started adding all kinds of crazy shit.
Well, they didn't outright delete them, they just removed them from the stores. If you have them they're still there, and a lot of them can still be obtained from the street and other places. But it's still really shitty and a sign of what they're going to do with GTA 6, making things limited time so that people feel an urge to buy them as quickly as possible so that they don't have to wait for a year for them to show up again. Probably gonna make even the top cars limited time so that people feel desperate to get the fastest car while it's available
If you want to win any races you'll need a decent car. I mean I like getting all kinds of cars but I'm just saying, they're definitely going to go in that direction where they have a Krieger or something available for like two weeks so that people rush out to get it
This and the MRAP thingy were the ultimate seethe mobiles. Get a couple buddies to chuck bombs/use the machinegun while you drive and you could lock down an entire server.
The grinding cooperation was something I haven’t seen in other games. If the lobby was full, two people shoot up the garage from the south side, one person shoots up from the north side by the bridge and destroying the enemy cars the moment they spawn, and one person hanging out in front of Madrazo’s house for exactly ten minutes for the most efficient payout. To think Rockstar was sooooo upset about it they intentionally broke the post-mission next activity selector to include completely random stuff, disabled the “replay mission” button, and made the payout timer-based instead of being flat was so funny.
They also removed the 'gift money/car' options after like a month because of how many people were using it to help others get rich. There are still stats in the menu that keep track of it even though you haven't been able to do it in a decade.
Is there a supported mod or something that adds everything from Online to SP? I'm mainly interested in tuning options and corresponding cars like lowriders or ricers.
>set prices of vehicles in your vehicle game very high to urge people to buy shark cards > then remove ability to buy 186 vehicles entirely except during tiny limited time windows so you can't just grind to buy your favourite > also make them available in the subscription service
how many layers of hideous frick-you-give-us-more-money do these c**ts expect to pile onto this game? 6 is going to be literally unplayable at this rate
people are forgetting this is WHY they got hacked in the first place and why I didn't care when my friend threw literal billions of "cash" at me using those hacks.
I never got reset. and I will never buy a GTA game again. its just a cash grab now.
no frick you there is nothing nostalgic or memorable about this shit. i was playing it at launch and literally everyone was just grinding rooftop rumble. it wasn't fun it was just the quickest job. it got temporarily removed IIRC and came back nerfed with an extra fail condition if you just used stickies to blow up everything to get the intel quick, the explosions would also blow up the intel. iirc they nerfed that mission multiple times just to kill any idea that you were able to make money quickly doing anything in this game, because you were meant to buy shark cards instead.
at some point everyone got obsessed with grinding chemical extraction because that one was also quick and easy (still not fun, this game fricking sucks) this mission got outright deleted and re-added as a heist setup. again, only as a reminder that the wienersucking israelites are in control of this game. you are not going to have fun, you are going to spend real money.
frick you newhomosexual underage morons who play this shit and spend money on it thinking your reward for paying IRL money for fake money is somehow supposedly linked to "having fun"
I remember lifting a tank with a cargobob, and I accidentally let go of my friend within said tank after struggling to fly to the top of Maze Bank. Fun times.
The first like three months of GTA online was an insanely buggy nightmare that would just have you stuck in the clouds for minutes on end as shit never loaded. It was more ore less a pistols only version of the modern lobby where everyone killed on another. Then Christmas hit and the first insane wave of money drops happened and a lot of players just bought all the ridiculous shit then tanks, attack helicopters and all the full modified cars they wanted. It was funny how rockstar rolled back money afterwards but didn't rollback any of the cars and other shit people bought
It was really shit >making money was a nightmare >horrible bugs >95% of missions were either horribly designed, required multiple people, or both >getting aircraft sucked
I hate how much shit was cut from the GTA Online >No Animals >Gasoline Won't leak from cars anymore >Physics is even more non-existent than it is in the fricking singleplayer
Vehicle deformation is still seen in the vanilla vehicles, but all the PS4 and onwards DLC cars have zero physics. Sure, you can break apart their components like the doors and bumpers, but they won’t deform.
Yeah, unfortunately. I stopped playing in late 2018, but the newer cars felt stiff and samey. It got to the point I bought a Rapid GT and drove that thing frequently because it had a unique handling.

The right writing was on the wall from day 1 how they planned to monetize the shit out of gta5s online. The spontaneous and natural fun you had in 4 where some people are dropped in a lobby together and suddenly come up with their own shit to have fun with isn't something you can make money from so it has to go
>Ywn again have as much fun as cops and robbers in any GTA >You will never arrive to your friends with a chopper to rescue them from the police shootout
Problem is that Rockstar designed the game to be super grindy, then releases an update that introduces a great way to get money and players can afford almost everything, then they release a new update that has very expensive things, then they release a newer update that has a much better money-making method and players can afford everything once more, and then the cycle repeats until they started demanding you to pay two million for a shitbox.
I remember in the 360 days someone set up hacked DNS servers that you could join and it would max out your money. I think Rockstar took 90% of it away eventually, but not after I bought the biggest garage and filled it with every car upgraded all the way. They even left me with like 50 mil for the road.
Back when using the Zentorno’s back as a drive-by armor was the meta.
I remember doing the car selling dupe and military base exp exploits at launch. Then I transferred to PC and someone dropped a bunch of money on me, only got warned for it and still kept everything. Fun times.
The 200 mil I glitched is apparently not enough for 2023 GTAO economy lol. A Camaro is more expensive than a Bugatti.
>gave myself around 600-700mil with stealthdrop several years ago
>Still ran out of money
What the frick is this bullshit israelitestar
I glitched around 100 billion in 2015, and ran out in 2019.

it's over

You only end up there if you blow up someone's car like 50 times

he is talking about 4 and only TLAD had the explosive annihilator. lol casual homosexual, 1v1 base me now

PC issue
There’s deathmatch, in which you duel other players, and then there’s bullying a low level because you wanna raise your K/D ratio like a coward.
GTA Online also created a mentality, which is explosive spam and placing stickies on your feet to deny the other player a kill.
Kek people still do that suicide shit even though KD isn't a thing anymore in freeroam. Oh well, a death's a death, if they want to do the work for me I'll take it

Yeah I remember, it was kino. And I mean quite literally, because I could only watch it on YouTube, there was no PC port back then.
i was 12 in 2013
When no one was looking, Rockstar deleted 186 cars. They deleted 186 cars.
Thats almost as many as 19 tens.
And that's terrible.
Well, they didn't outright delete them, they just removed them from the stores. If you have them they're still there, and a lot of them can still be obtained from the street and other places. But it's still really shitty and a sign of what they're going to do with GTA 6, making things limited time so that people feel an urge to buy them as quickly as possible so that they don't have to wait for a year for them to show up again.

Imagine being a metagay
I only buy cars I actually like
This. Most of the top cars in each class drive the same anyway, so pick your flavor (if it’s even available) and use it.
Back when I played the game in 2018, I drove the Nero if I was going solo, and the Raiden/Schaffer V12/Buzzard if I was going with other players.
If you want to win any races you'll need a decent car. I mean I like getting all kinds of cars but I'm just saying, they're definitely going to go in that direction where they have a Krieger or something available for like two weeks so that people rush out to get it
GTAO went to shit exactly when they've released Armored Kuruma.
Just shoot the A-pillar with a shotgun, bro. That’s the car’s biggest weak point.
This and the MRAP thingy were the ultimate seethe mobiles. Get a couple buddies to chuck bombs/use the machinegun while you drive and you could lock down an entire server.
Rooftop rumble
The grinding cooperation was something I haven’t seen in other games.

I miss, and also don’t miss, the mechanic delivering to us directly.
there was never a gift car option. you could give away money, but i don't ever remember being able to give away cars
Is there a supported mod or something that adds everything from Online to SP? I'm mainly interested in tuning options and corresponding cars like lowriders or ricers.
I really dont
For me it's Z-Type
No i don't.
I'm not a fricking child so i didn't play that.
Yes, because a mature and free-thinking individual like you instead spends his precious time on hentai games.

I never got reset. and I will never buy a GTA game again. its just a cash grab now.
It became really painful to make money when they patched this mission
Cops and Robbers was the coolest shit in GTA4 and they never brought it back.
it was always bad
The fun kind of bad, now it’s just bad kind of bad.
dont even pretend you feel nostalgic for this garbage
Nostalgic for the fun that you could only experience in the beginning.
no frick you there is nothing nostalgic or memorable about this shit. i was playing it at launch and literally everyone was just grinding rooftop rumble. it wasn't fun it was just the quickest job. it got temporarily removed IIRC and came back nerfed with an extra fail condition if you just used stickies to blow up everything to get the intel quick, the explosions would also blow up the intel. iirc they nerfed that mission multiple times just to kill any idea that you were able to make money quickly doing anything in this game, because you were meant to buy shark cards instead.

times were simpler

the handling of the DLC cars is noticably different as well. the vigero has a nice soft suspension but the gauntlet classic is stiff as a board.
Yeah, unfortunately. I stopped playing in late 2018, but the newer cars felt stiff and samey. It got to the point I bought a Rapid GT and drove that thing frequently because it had a unique handling.
