And God forbid you come on N4G saying anything of the sort. The disagrees say it all.
Thanks, I try.
Yeah, I know. Can't wait until it's running at something close to a normal level.
It's the repeated loss of characters and goals that I've accomplished in GTA Online that makes this so frustrating. There's simply no real reason to play if you're looking to make any progress with your online character if it's all going to get wiped out by a corrupted save file.
Paranoid? Obviously you haven't been paying attention to the forums.
Sony is definitely not the underdog on N4G. The thing could come boxed with a fresh dog turd and somehow it'll be made to sound like the greatest inclusion with a console ever on here.
Not to mention a meh lineup of launch title exclusives.
Dude, it's obvious there's nothing that can be said much less done to help you gain trust in MS or to give them your money. Like XboxFun said, just say you're not interested, you'd come off as much less of a paranoid person.
I had people straight up accuse me of lying about getting on the other day. I guess because I have this urge to impress people that I have to lie about stuff...?
One thing that was weird was that the second time I was able to get on, it just threw me into the world with a completely random character, skipping the intro and everything. I was so happy... that is until I had to turn off the game later and repeat the process.
No s**t we're getting spied on. I can't even go on a website without seeing ads for things I looked at on Amazon the day before. We're ALL being watched in some way, shape or form. I'm not saying it's an impossibility that it can happen with the Kinect but what the hell do I care if they want to watch me? Especially since I'm getting watched regardless? Anyone concerned about Kinect spy tactics should just chuck their smartphones if that's the case and get rid of t...
The problem with that is that since I almost always have to reset the game because it's infinitely loading, I think the data gets corrupted being that I'm resetting during the loading process. The game is amazing too, which is the biggest shame of all. I can't wait until they work out these bugs. Yesterday, I took on a motel full of gang members and then other players showed up and started shooting at me in the middle of the whole thing.
The problem I keep running into is the corruption of the character save data. So basically, even on the slim chance that I do get on (twice so far, woohoo), I'll basically lose any and all progress I've made with the character once the game locks up and corrupts my save data. And the worst part is having to watch that intro cinematic each time I have to create a new character and attempt to get on. I swear to God that if I have to hear Lamar greet me at the airport one more time, I ma...
I have yet to see one instance of a Kinect being used to spy on anyone. And for all of you worried about being spied on, what exactly are you doing that you're worried about? Cooking meth? Whacking off? Beating your wife/kids/dog/etc.?
At the end of the day, the patient gamer wins. I didn't have to wait too long to get Assassin's Creed 3 for $15 on XBLA. Anyone who can stand to wait a little while will generally get their game of choice for far less than its debut price.
I've been gaming since the Atari 2600. To hear that a game like GTA V is disappointing is kind of crazy when you think about how much the game does right and how much you can do in general.
I managed to get on for a few when it launched that morning and I loved what I got to experience. My buddy was on it all last night and got to work late as a result. It's good stuff and as chaotic as you'd expect.
I think that's very big of them to keep his name on future installments of Tom Clancy branded games, such as Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon to name a few. Ubisoft gets an honorary bubble for respect.
It's gotten to a point where I'm just generating random characters due to how many I've lost because of corrupted saves.
I'll be honest and say that the amount of negativity that's being spewed in regards to this is just shameful to say the least. They're working as hard as they can to fix the issues at hand yet gamers everywhere are flipping out because they can't handle the delay. I'm frustrated too as I've had little luck signing on and have experienced numerous corrupted character saves but I also happen to be a life long gamer and I've been around the block. Online launches usua...
