I'm at 93% completion! These servers can't go up quick enough! Hurry up, T.

^Wtf? You need to sleep too... hahahah I'm at 34% or something.

PVP is gonna be lame with auto-aim. Just freaking turn it off for multiplayer mode!

If BF3 has 64 players PC version of GTA can do that as well, no??

@killerclam..
Doubt it, not to say that its impossible but 64 players on an entire city.
BF3 does not have anywhere near the graphical complexity of GTA V

Better if the game lets us select the amount we want, rather than a fixed amount.

32 should be the minimum, 64 max and after that it should let us go higher if the server creator so chooses.. with a map like V has, it needs a lot of players in it.

I mean even SA-MP's 200 player servers still don't use up the whole San Andreas map, but it is a lot of fun with that amount of players.

It'd be waaay to easy to farm money that way. Considering that there are many luxury cars all over northern Los Santos.

Not really, you could put other things in the game to balance it out.

If you steal a really good car you automatically get 4 or 5 stars on you so it makes it that much more difficult to get away.

Steal a crappy car that sells for 5k, and maybe you get 1 star.

??? Wtf you on 'bout?
My net's just fine.
And ppl still agree with that coment...

Dust slows them down. You have a 6 year old machine. Sometime that'll cause hiccups.

And by "my old ass PS3" I mean every PS3. Might've described it wrong. But oh boy the hate is strong in this one..lol

Hate? I have nothing against you

Same with kz2

M.A.G. didn't have anywhere near the strain that GTA 5 would put on your machine while multiplayer gaming.

Everything was bland and undetailed. There was hardly any physics, certainly no traffic algorithms, no pedestrian algorithms, and so on.

M.A.G. had to be toned down very much to support that many people.

The only place that will support more than 32 players for GTA will be PC. I doubt if the consoles will go over 16.

You got 130$ on you? That's the price for the Standard Edition in Saudi Arabia because it's banned here.

@TheGrimOfDeath If this game was somehow $130 in the USA. I probably would've still bought it, and said it was worth every penny.

Not trying to disagree with you, that's just my opinion.

How's the overall exploration factor of the game? I loved games like Skyrim where there were tons to explore. I've owned every single GTA since Vice City, but I've never finished a single one. Usually the story isn't good enough to make me want to finish it, or I get distracted with cheats. But I'm hoping GTA V would be different.

GTA V is very different from the previous Grand Theft Autos.

For one, missions are actually fun to complete now, i.e. you do more than just drive and kill dudes. The heists in particular are incredibly fun and you're gonna wanna keep playing the campaign just to see what happens next.

There's also a tremendous amount of potential for mayhem and destruction. One of my favorite things to do is to hijack a Buzzard from the military base and then reign terror down on those lousy beachgoers!

Easily the best GTA ever, I highly recommend it.

The best form of poke her.

Have the stripper do lap dances get the Like meter up and you can take her home to her place. ;)

Poker + Stripper = Strip Poker

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

Futbol.

Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.

My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.

To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.

Perhaps, and I hope you’re right. A shift is needed IMO
