    This should maybe have its own thread; not sure if it's directly related to the trailer, but... IGN dropped some goodies this morning.

     

    I haven't had a chance to read any of this yet but the first one looks like some impressions from a live demo.

    A lot of my dissatisfaction with the game is my own fault as I am not a social player and I am just not good enough for PvP games.

     

    You remind me of myself so much it's spooky.

     

    Crew nights are fun, but I can rarely join.

     

    I'd be content with occasional DLC providing a handful of solo missions. I don't need an entire new campaign, and I certainly don't care about money or XP. Just a bit of monkeying around without having to coordinate schedules with friends or suffer through randoms. I know, I'm high maintenance.

  3. I'm having a fairly sour evening as I'm coming to realize: GTA Online just isn't fun (for me). At all. Hasn't really been for quite some time.

     

    And that's particularly troubling since it is clearly R*'s cash cow. I mean, from a business perspective, I get it; selling Shark Cards to kiddies is a hella lot more profitable than selling a $60 game every couple years to someone like me.

     

    Still, seems like there ought to be some kind of happy medium. A huge part of the appeal for the GTA series used to be that it was readily picked up by the casual gamer. Sit down for 30 mins, create a little mayhem, get on with your life.

     

    Anymore, the GTA universe revolves around the next DLC, the next vehicle pack, the next kill-the-guy-next-to-you mode. And it falls flat. This isn't what brought me here.

     

    I don't want to spend hours upon hours grinding missions to make imaginary money just to be competitive in a race, or whatever goofy adversarial mode comes down the pike. As a consumer, I don't want this.

     

    I don't want to be pwned in public lobbies by 13 year old kids who spend hours upon hours honing their virtual skills to feast upon the fresh meat that is me. I'm not particularly good at most of these game modes, but - and here's the kicker - I don't want to HAVE to be particularly good. I just want to play. And lately, it doesn't feel like play. It feels like work, and it blows, and it's depressing.

     

    Where has the fun gone?

     

    Am I the only one?

  4. Is it true the Festive Surprise is next-gen only?

    According to the latest Q&A from the newswire...

    ...we can say that we do have a few seasonal treats in the works for players on all four systems to enjoy this coming holiday season in GTA Online.

    Keep the faith.

  5. Completed Flight School last night and netted around $175k for around 2 hours of work. Missed out on gold for a couple of lessons, so there's still an opportunity to squeeze out a bit more cash.

    I don't know how to verify this, but it seems like you can make more by grabbing bronze first, then silver, then gold. Each time you earn a new medal the payout is decent, but of course repeating a medal isn't worth much.

    RP is stunningly awful for each lesson. Absolute garbage.

    Good times tonight, each of the jobs had its own brand of fun. I especially enjoyed the supercar-ramp-through-Vinewood-Hills race... Mostly because it was no contact, which meant I got yelled at a lot less. :D

    Open letter to Ayreon:

    Sorry for constantly slamming into you during that one drifting race. It's not personal, you see; it's just that I suck at racing.
