When Good Games Go Bad

There is no denying what a huge financial success GTA V has been — when a game makes a billion dollars in its first three days that much is obvious. But is the game any good? In the case of GTA V, one could argue that it is actually two separate games: a traditional single player campaign and an online multiplayer version of the game.

Well, this is the main reason why people say you shouldn't review things like online, MMO's and the like beyond maybe the mechanics. Ultimately no one has any control over what will happen in the future and every experience is going to be YMMV in nature. For instance, Mercenary Kings was "glitched" in a way that made "Private" more of a "host" option (Only people could join you, but it wasn't limited to invites, thus the glitched remark). The issue was that I would constantly get random newcomers in my room, when I just wanted to play with my friends, which caused something of a dual reality.

In my reality, I got some worthless person that made my missions more difficult, my experience less enjoyable and was only a burden. For them, they were playing with two gamers that knew what they were doing, were over powered, knew the maps extremely well and were looking to finish each mission before the target time. So while my experiences were poor, that same person in the same party, probably had a great experience because of random chance.

Thats really how these things boil down and everyone is different, much like every experience and situation. Sure it sucks for online only games, though it's also well within your power to try to prevent this too. Typically smart people find like minded people to play with either publicly or privately (getting the experience you enjoy) or they find people who know how to stop snipers in an FPS, fighters that can curb stomp people relying on projectiles and the like.

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

ActualWhiteMan39d ago

And the players arent hood rats

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.

CrimsonIdol39d ago (Edited 39d 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.

S2Killinit39d ago

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

ActualWhiteMan39d ago

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

Outside_ofthe_Box39d ago

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

S2Killinit39d ago

Lol maybe you need a new perspective on life?

Aloymetal39d 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.

ChunkyMonk38d 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

blacktiger38d 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.

ocelot0739d 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.

LostPotato38d ago

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

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