Is anyone else disappointed at the total lack of single player, story based DLC? The DLC for GTA 4 were fantastic and i was really hoping to have something of that caliber for 5. It's like Rockstar is a dog that found it's (MP) bone and won't let go.

Yep absolutely loved the SP, bonkers epic fun with some of the craziest missions I've ever played. Would have loved new content, the world is so damn good.

Yes. Thank you! Someone who gets what I'm saying.

I don't begrudge the MP, it is fun and I welcome any and all updates but I really loved the story missions. I think the writing and dialog was super sharp and witty and I miss not having any more single player stories in the setting.

The problemI had with 5 I also had with 4. The ending seemed anticlimactic. Something about the pacing just felt off.
Definitely would take more SP for 5.

I have finally jumped into GTA V multiplayer and having some mindless fun with it. I sent a crew request a few days ago, but then I thought that maybe nobody gets online to approve them anymore? If there is anybody, could you please accept Senkrad_68 (unless, of course, you don't want me in the crew and just want to kick me to curb. I understand *sniff* )

I really don't think there's an active GWJ presence. I still play but it's on game nights with my old high school buddies.

That's okay if nobody plays anymore, I just want to represent!

Actually, I would like to try a heist or 2 with goodjers but the odds on having the time to do it when:

  1. Kids are not around (for obvious reasons)
  2. Wife is not around (so I can use voice chat)
  3. Actual goodjers on (Listening to chat in open sessions, it seems there are a lot of 13 year olds playing. 13 being mental and/or physical age)
  4. Work not busy (minor requirement if the rest can come together )

and all of that coming together for at least a couple of hours straight, odds are good it will never happen

I really liked the game; however I just got fed up with the sheer amount of hacking and performance issues - stuttering and random FPS drops.

I'm planning on getting on now a bit this weekend now that there's been a new GTA Online update (I'm on PS4), so look for me - I'd be happy to help out running some missions and doing a heist or two.

After watching the following two streams from MrMoon and company, I'm sorely tempted to finally pick this up on PC. I have a 360 copy, but won't be doing live ever again, so no more MP. Now to wait for a sale.

1st night.

2nd night.

Had me in tears, watching this stuff live.

Just fyi to everyone, there is speculation there is SP DLC coming, based on a tweet from Franklin's voice actor and some data mining.

Strangers and Freaks has been out for a week now. If you're wanting to revisit GTA V, hit me up. The CEO/Associate mode is pretty cool. I love being a crime kingpin.

I've been messing around with it. But I really loathe having to be in public sessions to do the cargo missions. I literally spent about 3 hours collecting cargo and doing special VIP missions in between cool downs to load up a small warehouse(16 crates). No one bothered me. Then when I went to actually sell half of it(since selling all of it required 2 people) some jerks came and tried to kill me. You know what they get out of it? 2 grand. You know what I lose? 150k

So yeah until they make a change I'm sorta just eh on it.

I like it for the fact that it gives me a reason to play in public lobbies - and I've had decent luck so far.

That said, I either play with friends - or I find a server that's pretty empty. This morning I made a handful of solo runs on a server that had two other corps fighting each other over and over and over.

Made it real easy to make small runs, get some goods, and sell them without anyone much caring. Added bonus - I got a bonus on the sale because of the number of active CEOs on server.

You need four people to make it effective. I've been playing with Moto and some pubbies. Been fun so far although sometimes you get a pubbie who just wants to do his own thing and you need to kick him.

If I see either of you on I'll bug you to see if you have an open slot.

If you're on PS4, friend me and I'll be glad to help out. I'm back in on this game after having been out for while.

Sold my PS4 copy and was thinking of finally finishing it on the PC. How is the Rockstar Club DRM? Is it annoying? Is it like Uplay/Origin even if I buy it on Steam?

Like UPlay I would say. It's not that intrusive.

It opens the launcher, but it auto signs in usually and the launcher closes after the game launches. So no biggie.

I assume it doesn't populate from your Steam friends list?

No, it uses the rockstar social club for that sort of stuff.

OK, got to the

Spoiler:

Torture scene/event/mission.. whatever it's name

.

Think I'm shaking from that. I'm putting a hold for a few more days. I like the end of it... but still. It was sad.

A large majority of the single player has really troublesome content for a huge number of reasons. Realistically if GTA Online didn't exist I probably never would've played the game. But I really love Online, depsite their attempts to get me to spend hundreds on money cards.

That was the only scene I really had a hard time with - if only because I kept waiting for it to have a punchline that never came.

Fortunately - I was able to file it into the "Well, this is just a game..." category, get through it, and now I only recall it when someone brings it up again.

...so THANKS FOR THAT!

New update coming out next week. I love racing in this game and this looks awesome.

Nice. If some of you are still playing on PC, hit me up.

I'm half way to be able to unlock CEO, but could be a bodyguard for the cash and giggles

The last update was fairly devastating on my finances. Hopefully, this new one is a bit more working class. And a new garage wouldn't hurt.

I'm at 667k, so 2/3 now!

Add me on social club if you haven't Manach, it's b12n11w00t there too. I can be CEO and we can alternate between vip missions and challenges. It's a very fast way to earn money getting abotu 100k an hour or so. Bonus is that you can do it in private so people won't hassle you.

Edit: Actually probably faster than that, you get 22-23k from Sightseer and that takes 5-10 minutes with a helicopter. Challenges in between vip cooldowns take 5-10 minutes and earn about 15-18k for the winner(which would be you wink) and then every 10-15 minutes you also get paid 5k-ish to be an associate.

Can't do private for CEO mission.

We are already friend on there as well.
