Seems to be a lottery at the moment. Ive been on since Tuesday. But i know others are still having problems. Im not on at the moment because for some reason none of the missions or activities will load, same for all my friends.

A very good read.. he explains how everything works, and why it dosnt work.

meanwhile (playing on ps3) I was able to get level 14, the online part is so awesome the more I play the more I want it.. and with friends its 10 times more fun...

but all those lodings and freezes.. cant they just give us a hint a message.. online is offline, try later... and thats it, instead it gives 20 types of errors and freezing time to time.. and I cant understand why I am the host every time.. and no one joins.. it takes too much time to find people.. on and on...

I've not had much problems getting on with the 360 version and currently rank 32. The only problem I've had is spending money on an apartment only for it not to show it as bought the next time I logged in.

Regardless of whether they should have had the server capacity issues sorted for launch, for me, it's obvious they should have released it as an open beta to help iron the bugs out instead of doing a full release while openly admitting we should expect problems.

fattyuk4611d ago

Sorry but i hate all this moaning.

It'll all be up and running smoothly at some point.

Rockstar even said before online was released that it wouldnt be a smooth journey.

As for the whole I've bought a product that doesn't work... what aload of bollox.

GarrusVakarian4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

Its a frustrating situation because on the one hand we waited two weeks for something that doesn't work 100%....but on the other they told us to anticipate these problems before release.

Just find something else to do while R* fix this. People are acting like their lives depend on playing GTAO. Mine stopped working a few hours ago....so i turned my PS3 off and did something else.....like came to N4G :p

@Piper

Yeah.....which is STILL something OTHER than play GTAO, unless commenting on articles is the same as playing a videogame? Your argument fails.

l still love the game,it's amazing

Gorilla_Killa_X4610d ago

Agreed, after 3 tries I was able to get race to load up and haven't looked back since. Got a garage and an elergy and am working my way up to affording a house.

Stsonic4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

I would understand if it was a massive mmo with hundreds of players in each area but this is 16 players in a lobby so why all the bugs?

Anyway I tried once and failed. Will probably try again in a month or so when it's all fixed up.

Thatlalala4610d ago

Agree. Can sit in any popular wow city lag free, but can't even find one person to do a two to four player mission.... Fucking joke.

PlayStation is GTA and GTA is PlayStation, they're going to kill it when GTA 6 is finally released 😏.

Maybe that's because xbox and PC have much more variety in their online offerings.

ActualWhiteMan35d ago

And the players arent hood rats

S2Killinit35d ago

Like in what parallel universe?

blacktiger35d ago

That might be true but you forget, all of Microsoft 1st part games are also available on Playstation and soon day one release

I know of people that own a PS4 exclusively to play gta5, and that’s all they play. I’m sure some of you here know of someone too. I’m surprised at how low the revenue for PC is.

CrimsonIdol35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I can't tell you what it's like on PS5 but it's absolutely horrific on PC. My experience is constant hackers and a game that feels like it hates you playing with your own friends too, always seems like a chore to manage to join some minigame together without somehow ending up in different server instances n shit. If I were going to bother with it I'd probably do it on console too.

My guess is also that there are modded versions of GTA online with massive communities on PC that are way better than the rockstar approved version and Rockstar isn't making money out of those.

S2Killinit35d ago

Those are the types of things people forget when they are talking about PC gaming.

ActualWhiteMan35d ago

That’s because most PlayStation fans are ghetto. Source…Every ghetto person I know, plays on PlayStation.

Outside_ofthe_Box35d ago

Rich folks like Epstein did play Xbox, so maybe you're right.

S2Killinit35d ago

Lol maybe you need a new perspective on life?

Aloymetal35d ago

Be glad the ''ghetto'' PS fans around the globe are spending money because they're practically single handedly keeping the gaming industry from crashing and burning. Can't say the same for MS and their miniscule green fanbase.

ChunkyMonk35d ago

Yet those "PS fans" didn't save Concord, Marathon, Highguard or Helldivers 2. Hell, Helldivers 2 and Marathon are only on life support cuz of PC. lol

blacktiger35d ago

ghetto or not, they are gamers right? Now what about Call of Duty same thing>?

Actually really surprised with the PC revenue which is an abysmal 3% overall vs Console (PS and Xbox combined) at a whopping 97%. It now makes sense why Take Two/Rockstar prioritizes Consoles. Heck, they could even delay the PC port release 2 to 3 years and it wouldn't make any impact at all.

ocelot0735d ago

I think its due to FIVEm. A lot of GTA PC players seem to just play that so don't need the shark cards or a way to even use them for fivem.

LostPotato35d ago

They already delay PC ports by a year or two already so nothing new.

Your favorite island paradise just came down with a deadly case of party fever. As if a major narcotrafficking island wasn’t dangerous enough, it’s now been overrun by the undead — and maybe it’s the drugs or the tropical climate, but this time they’ve got a whole lot weirder.

Fight through these hordes and make your way to the airstrip — then pray your evacuation plane doesn’t take too long.

Welcome to the tourist trap.
