'GTA Online' Stimulus Package Will Probably Come Next Week

8CN: Rockstar has revealed that the "GTA$ Stimulus Package" money announced a few weeks ago will likely be available sometime next week. The studio added that they wanted to make sure the game progress loss issues were ironed out first, and that they still have a few fixes and tweaks to make before they will be ready.

People by now have come to realize $500k is nothing. You can make that a day easy. But to get back a player that was 30+ levels. That's going to take some time.

500k in one day my ass...

ZBlacktt4589d ago

Just because you are unaware. You clowns think I just sit on here posting random things? Worst gamers on any site... yes again, 500k a day can be done. Come look at my garage.

hay4589d ago

500k Stimulus Package does not seem to be that hot, when I see people doing mayhem in tanks worth well more than that. Which can be easily obtain in... aboot 2 hours or so from what I've seen on the net.

I personally think GTAOnline is seriously broken. You either play with friends or cause mayhem, or enjoy lack of teamplay with others and be a victim of mayhem.
Logic is flawed, you can get better results of obtaining helicopter from Merryweather than buying your own(since you need to go to the nearest helipad) and it costs the same(minus the cost of helicopter).
You get ganged by 4 people in a car(3 with full aiming) when pretty much only chance to fight back is drop a grenade while speeding away(in order for them not to wait by your vehicle after they kill you), you get to be the Bad Sport, but them dudes are fine and fun.
While GTA is one of my top series of all time, I lost interest in Online. Fan made mod for San Andreas is better IMO.

not interested anymore, BF4 will be taking up all my time from Friday :-)

FunkMacNasty4588d ago

picked up BF4 yesterday - couldn't hold out :-)

It's awesome - definitley a worthy follow up from BF3

paranoid19714588d ago

Damn!! Still 2 days wait for me

Grimhammer004590d ago

Sold it. So many poor design choices coupled with incredibly incompetent netcode in the beginning....and load times from hell.

Was certainly poor enough for me to scratch off any future mp offerings from rtockstar. Sad really.

ZBlacktt4589d ago

Yes to all this.... load time is like 10 mins every time you first put in the game. This whole game is not even close to a 10 at all..... at all!!! More like a 7.5. Don't hate it, but see it for what it is and all that it is.

hay4589d ago (Edited 4589d ago )

They made Online shit, but it will probably work well by GTA6, I wouldn't discard them in the future just because some disconnected managers decided to either accept design and go with current state to release.
R*North also had significant QA team rotation which doesn't really help when quality needs to be achieved, though it is their problem for not having adequate QA internal support(which often is the case, and results with newer products more broken than previous, cause: tools are updated for development rather than testing, which gets increasingly difficult).

I'd wait for DLC. It did a trick for worst GTA in history(perosnal opinion), namely GTA4.

moodymofo4590d ago

yea i turned mine in to while it was still worth somethin , gamestop gave me 45 bucks for it that i used to payoff my killzone preorder

boribori8314590d ago

Damn rockstar I'm already bored of the online .

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.

ActualWhiteMan38d ago

And the players arent hood rats

S2Killinit37d ago

Like in what parallel universe?

blacktiger37d ago

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.

CrimsonIdol38d ago (Edited 38d 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.

S2Killinit37d ago

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

ActualWhiteMan38d ago

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

Outside_ofthe_Box38d ago

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

S2Killinit37d ago

Lol maybe you need a new perspective on life?

Aloymetal37d 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.

ChunkyMonk37d 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

blacktiger37d 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.

ocelot0737d 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.

LostPotato37d ago

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