    Grindfest that could, and should have been a whole lot better. The wasted potential here is staggering.

    Added to that the lack of people connecting to pretty much anything you try to start from the map kills the online entirely. One can only imagine how many more features or how earlier released GTAV could have been if rockstar hadn't wasted their time on this POS.

    Rockstars previously unimpeachable reputation has taken a huge blow with this, I was genuinely excited for GTA Online in the run-up to release but it has proven to be a damp squib.    … Expand

    This is a complete disappointment and a big f--k you from Rockstar to all its players. This is everything I don't want in a multiplayer game, in a multiplayer game.
    Problems with GTA online:
    1: Grand theft auto IV had more hackers and modders then you could care to count in the lobbies. Well Guess what? They return! There is no shortage of hackers at level 1000 with invincibility and    This is a complete disappointment and a big f--k you from Rockstar to all its players.

    Problems with GTA online:
    1: Grand theft auto IV had more hackers and modders then you could care to count in the lobbies. Well Guess what? They return! There is no shortage of hackers at level 1000 with invincibility and billions of dollars running around. And the hackers give out money making Rockstars Microtransactions Worthless. It complete kills the atmosphere of the game.But even that is not the biggest problem with this game.
    2: RDM (Random Death Match)
    Yes you can kill people and it can be fun, but it gets dull almost instantly. Every time you try doing something in freemode, Someone comes up and murders you, blows up your car, sets a bounty on you, Sends mercenaries to kill you, Calls a mugger to steal your cash. And its even worse when they Come up in a Tank and start killing you on spawn. Yes there is a "passive mode". But passive mode is complete GARBAGE. You can be run-over and killed, If your driving a car in passive mode you can still be shot to death, and the police can still shoot and kill you. This is one of the main reasons I play in Invite only sessions.
    3. Police are Merciless, and RELENTLESS.
    It seems any time you try doing anything, the Police come after you. They are completely reckless, annoying, and a complete disaster. I have noticed the Police CHEAT in game, both in storymode and Online. Here is a list of what I have seen them do:
    - Police Cruisers get a random speed boost and ram into you hard.
    - Police Cruisers can keep up with your sports car at high rates of speed, Indicating they have speed hacks. You can test this if you do not believe me by getting in a police cruiser and getting in a chase, Although your driving the same car, They are faster and ram into you hard causing you to spin out.
    - Police spawn right on top of you while in a chase. Countless times I have seen police cruisers spawn a few meters ahead of me. Its unneccesary and takes away any fun in being chased by the police.
    - Police Magnetically go to your exact location. Even in a fighter jet Police helicopters follow you even though they have no idea where you are.
    - Police can randomly gain sight of you even though they have no visual contact on you. Again, This can be proven by going underground with police helicopters chasing you.
    - Police chase you while fighting other players. This is the main reason why I hate online. Having a gun fight with other players in freemode? So are the Police. I guarentee the Police will kill you more then players while trying to have a fight. They also chase you over minute things.
    Rockstar should have done what they did in GTA IV and made lobbies with, or without the police. But of course we all know that would mean more work and for Big ass greedy companies they would rather play the game of "How long can we keep the mice going while giving them the least amount of cheese possible?"
    4: Matchmaking is Complete Garbage.
    Particularly the Quick job crap. The jobs are already a boring grind fest that produce little money, But the Match making MURDERS it. Select a Mission, And the Matchmaking gives you: Last team standing games, Capture mode games, and Top fun Games. I want to do a mission, not a PVP game mode. 75% of the time you end up getting a mode you didn't select. And the Voting screen also, is complete Garbage. If I finished a Mission, Why of 6 choices do I get Parachuting, Deathmatches, Races, and No missions? Yes missions may show up, But not frequently enough. Its completely broken, And it is complete unnecessary.
    I can go on ALL day about what makes GTA online not worth a Cent. If you enjoy a Linear grindfest Garbage dump filled with hackers, Broken menu's, Crappy lobbies, Crappy players, Reduced amount of vehicles, Hackers, Crappy Rockstar Ticket services, And issues carried over from Single player you will feel Right at home. For everyone Else GTA Online is not worth your time. I have played GTA online from October 1st to Now and it has not improved vastly, and continues to disappoint. I am a level 123 with a 2.59 KDR before the fanboy defenders call me a "noob". Please avoid Online at ALL costs and stick to single player, Or play a different game that doesn't screw over its players.

    **Update July 10 2014**
    Often games improve over time, As updates roll in, and bugs get fixed. However there are always exceptions, And GTA online is one of them. They infact, have managed to make all my previous complaints worse.
    #1 DLC.
    Oh how nice free content!.... oh all the DLC content is at a unreasonable price. oh new cars! oops, nevermind they are all overpriced.
    #2 Earning money
    I said this in december "The jobs are already a boring grind fest that produce little money" And they made it even HARDER to earn money. You don't profit on 90% of jobs anymore. "Freedom of GTA 5, online!" my ass.

    GTAO can be a fun at times, but this is not a whole game. This is not a complete game. This is a Beta. We all paid $60 for GTA V and got the GTAO beta for free. As a beta I'd score it a five because you can't really score a beta, and five is the median, the average; neither good nor bad, but just there.

    No this isn't because the launch was kind of a failure, I don't care about that. What I do care about is the overall quality of the Online.

Every feature is designed to try and spend as much of your money as possible!    No this isn't because the launch was kind of a failure, I don't care about that.

Every feature is designed to try and spend as much of your money as possible! If you want to do a job that requires some kind of aerial vehicle you need to BUY ONE! Since 9 times out of 10 no vehicles will be spawned. Or how about when you die near your personal vehicle (Which is a pointless feature) it gets impounded and will often be damaged so you have to break it out of the Police Station and then repair it. And you NEED a personal vehicle as if the cops see you in a vehicle that isn't yours their spider sense kicks in and they know it's been stolen. Or you'll get a bounty put on your head by the owner who magically knew it was you that stole it (the game is called Grand Theft Auto for God's sake).
    The game also actively tries to stop you causing chaos with friends as the military bases and airports are walled off and difficult to get in also you have so little health that you die in very few shots.
    So in conclusion GTA online is ok you can have fun but is limited by certain features.    … Expand

And if you fight against someone with a higher rank you have no chance in hell of EVER killing them since they can easily kill you in one hit with no skill required. You can't steal other peoples vehicles because of course why would you except that from a game called grand theft auto?

    It seems my original hopes for GTO (no pontiac here) to be a fun, exciting, engaging social experience was all dwindled and sodomized by my rapt 8 hour experience with this frustrating torture.

Initially, the game had promise; even your descent into Los Santos is interesting from the concept of a new kid in town with Lamar from the main game being your 'game man' sort of fella, although conversations are awkward considering that you the player are a silent protagonist (kind of like someone talking to a brick wall). Anyhow, after the laces were cut on the starting run for this game (i.e the tutorial section), I had a welcome relief of people indiscriminately killing me on sight, and then consistently killed after spawning, my car stolen, driven, shot up, crashed (though not totalled), and being the loser of every single racing game because my racing skill was not high enough. I mean, wow, I never would had thought that a online game would just give newbies the middle finger even though they just started playing the game. Not to mention that I spoiled my signature car on something I just happened to need to drive and couldn't restore, and that the payoff of missions that were extremely difficult to profit on never is worth it, not to mention the missions repeat after 8 or so times. That's the funny thing too: I spent hours just robbing convenience stores of all things just so I could get a profit of money, I rank up to 12 just by that motion alone and I STILL can't even afford a garage. I live in my car, essentially. And the worst thing is is that the game never seems to show you any means to make yourself better, or that they decide to make the progression in the game just so awful and monotomous, as well as anti-social considering how seasoned veterans will ALWAYS WIN at any kind of gamemode and that every player tries to kill you on sight even if you are just minding your own business. This game was just getting autonomous, which really surprised me for a game that's all mmo with zero character progression, just as offensive as LOL was to what fair and sufficient level progression was. It was really hard to like this game, and as a matter of fact, stealing the convenience stores, something you could do in GTAV anyway, was the most fun I had with this online mode. Unless someone can tell me how you can properly progress WITHOUT GRINDING (no kind of like 'if you play final fantasy XIII for 13 hours it actually starts to get good kind of grinding') this game was a downer for me apart from the stylization and proper mechanics.… Expand

For my first hour this was the only thing that happened. I decided that I would give solo a try. It seemed to work for about 3 minutes until I got stuck at the first race. Booted back to single player I tried again. This time I managed to finish it. I got to the "Last Man Standing" mission and it found me 7 other players. and timed out. Not once or twice but it did this for 2 hours straight rendering the game basically unplayable. It was not an internet issue but a Rockstar server issue. I absolutely loved the single player portion of this game. But seeing as this review is for the "Online" game I can't justify giving this game a good review.

    so many glitches and doesn't run well. the game is just a series of minigames with a lot of waiting in between. hard to enjoy a game like that, including all the people who just run around and kill you. the auto aim makes no skill required to play, and other people will just snap to you and kill you. also don't expect your character to be there when you log in again.

The lack of dialogue and introduction of many new hate worthy characters. makes mission frustrating as hell when you spend 20 minutes on average to earn a messily $2000 that just might be able to replenish the ammunition you used during the mission. But the real question is what sort of price can you put on this artistic travesty?. The answer depends on how gullible you are for a flashy set of wheels or a the best apartment money can buy. $26 AUD will get you around $1, 250, 000 in game cash which if you don't spend right away is taken away slowly in hospital fees when you player is murdered. the most expensive item in the game to date is the rhino tank costing $3, 000, 000 which works out to be nearly $60 AUD. which cannot be stored in a garage and has to be redelivered costing quite a sum of money every time it is destroyed. Multiplayer modes such as TDM and racing are just a couple of the things that you can hate and love at the same time. delivering high and fast octane action the only way your going to see gold is by putting the money you spent hours earning into betting . 5 months from release capture the flag has been the only released game mode post released leaving fans aggravated at the fact the highly anticipated aspect of GTA online heists is still not available. playing a major role in the single player alone heists would be originally thought to have been released a launch of a few weeks after at the most. already detailing some aspects of the game mode though the multiplayer trailer released before GTA V's launch. friends and your complex imagination on free roam are just about the only things that want you not to smash your head into a brick wall after moments when you realize the $225,000 is the exact same as the $400,000 apartment with a different view or your just about done with the mission side of things. final verdict 5/10 GTA V Online delivers a lousy unfinished work that shares the same amount of effort as the 2013 bombshell Alien: colonial marines… Expand

    Whilst I am aware of all the issues with servers at the moment this was to be expected, with *R selling double the amount anticipated. People criticising need to understand the technical difficulty with trying to provide an online service for a possible 20 million people all at the same time.
    On another note there has also been concern over the effect micro transactions have in the game. They however whilst the money packs can be used to purchase cars, apartments and clothes etc they can't be used to give a clear advantage in combat as weapons and armour along with car modifications are locked depending on player rank.

Speaking of the look of your charters the cahrater creater is awfal. You costomize your guy by picking parents and then your grandparents. i think a tradidional carather creater would have been much more effective and simple. Despite of that the cloths you can put a fairly massive of clothes to begin with. Also there is even more clothes coming via free dlc. Yes free dlc. One of the high points of the game is the fact that you can do it all with up to 16 other people. The amount of fun things you can do is absolutely ridiculous.The 16 player count is kinda low for a world of gta’s size. The world you play in is set in San Andreas which is based of of southern california. There are 2 halves the map. The first is Los Santos which is based off of los angeles The second is Blaine county, which consists of wilderness, small towns, and a military base. The map is absolutely massive and blows any other game map out of the water. However over a quarter of it is consisted of untrekable mountains. The map has tons of detail, but you can’t go inside any buildings. The map is indestructible sadly. San Andreas/ Los Santos is a great setpeace for the pure fun of this game.it pushes the 8 year old consoles farther than thought previosly possible Fun is proberly the best word to descirbe this game.

    Despite a few drawbacks this game is absolutely amazing.

    There is a reason why the user score is so low. Many users jumped the gun on their review, and wrote it the day of release. Within its first week, GTA Online was glitchy, buggy, and basically impossible to even start. There were so many issues with the game, that people gave up hope on the game.

Many users jumped the gun on their review, and wrote it the day of release. Within its first week, GTA Online was glitchy, buggy, and basically impossible to even start. There were so many issues with the game, that people gave up hope on the game. They figured it wasn't worth it. Along with that, server issues led to thousands of deleted characters, having users need to start all the way from the beginning again. I waited as long as I did to write this because I knew Rockstar would fix all of the issues. Thankfully they did. Now GTA Online is a beautiful and highly enjoyable experience for you and up to 15 friends. You can do everything you can do in single player, and then some. Rockstar really listened to their fans when creating GTA Online, and it is a huge step up from the multi-player in GTA IV. Whether or not you are competing in races, deathmatches, or you are simply doing a designated job for one of the many contactable players (most from single player). You are never left feeling bored while playing GTA Online. Frankly, the only issue I have with the game is how repetitive it is. Rockstar announced that there will be over 700 missions available to play from the start, though after hours of playing, you find yourself playing the same mission over and over and over again. Objects are expensive in GTA Online, at least 30% more expensive than they were in single player. In order to purchase the items you really want, you'll have to end up repeating a lot of missions to make the money required. Making it a drag really. Overall, if you'll only buy GTA V for the online, I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. You'll get your money's worth.… Expand

    Diverse, chaotic, and loads of fun, especially with a group of friends. [Christmas 2013, p.84]

    It’s been a tough start, but this is the way to go. If they keep polishing the experience and adding content, Los Santos is going to be our home for a long time.

    The great number of diverse things to do in the game is its strongest asset.
