If everyone sucks at driving, odds are that you do too (I’m not excluding myself from this). Most people just don’t realize it. But yes some people are more stupid than others…
Everyone sucks at driving. Humans simply don’t have an innate comprehension of the physics of muti-ton metal boxes moving at high speeds or the physical reactions necessary to operate them safely. Even if we actually did, there are underlying psychological phenomenon that make people bad at driving. Humans are social animals, but when you isolate them in a metal box they stop being able to read social queues and start seeing everything outside the car as just obsticals instead of other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
There are dozens of reasons driving is extremely bad for everyone involved, and why it feels awful for most people most of the time.
Several years ago I got an email about my rockstar account - someone had guessed the password and logged in, they were trying to change the email address. Luckily I’d managed to stop it in time and recovered the account.
Several years later, I decided to give GTA Online a go, I logged in and found I had billions in cash and loads of property and cars. I guess that they must have been nodding while using my account.
Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren’t implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.
These days you’re still free to ruin everyone’s day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.
A couple of these are really tempting. I need more information about Amazon, specifically do I get to choose the free items? There doesn’t seem to be any stipulation that I can’t resell them, so that’s good.
Seems easy to loophole around as well. Since the downside is “you” can only shop at Amazon, you just need someone else to do your regular shopping. Of course you could be screwed if Amazon ever shuts down.
Netflix if it allowes movies already watched. Give me them Marvel royalties. Otherwise Chrome for endless information gathering, or Spotify to revive lost songs and symphonies.
At first, maybe? When I first started last year, I was pretty hooked since it was something new to me, minus the constant hackers spamming the message and grievers, it was so bad that I had to play private lobby only. The only thing to do is doing the same thing over and over again to earn money just to spend it to do the same thing again. There’s no new mechanics, no story, nothing, just a constant grind and your reward is more grind.
Now I feel a dumbass for wasting two months of my life on it. Even Genshin is way better than GTAO, it actually has interesting story, fun mechanics and great characters. I’ve been playing GI since 2020, got a bit burned out and currently addicted to Witcher 3 but I still play it daily. But GTAO, fuck that shit, I left it more than 6 months ago and the thought of considering looking back never once crossed my mind.
Some of those 2 months was fun but most of it were like voluntary chore. I basically grinded to buy a business, just to grind that business to buy another one. Sometimes when I was earning money to buy a vehicle I want, it was somewhat fun because there was something to look forward to, and once I’d got what I wanted for a few days, I started asking “Now what?” every time. The most fun I got was from VIP Contracts, but they get repetitive real quick too.
It was when it first came out on ps3 for me. It was fun to run around as a nobody, get into gangland shoot outs and feuds with other players, have death matches in the hood, etc. But very quickly, within six months, the game had become full of cheaters and modders with tanks, so I stopped playing. I went back to it years later and it was not GTA, it was Saints row essentially, with flying bikes and laser guns and shit, it just became stupid and silly.
GTA online on PC is a hell hole of mod menu using douches. But on Xbox it can be a lot of fun, I’ve been enjoying the new Salvage Yard content and my buddy and I just did the first part of a doomsday heist and made him a million bucks in about an hour of time. It’s not hard to make lots of money these days in the game which is pretty great. I still play regularly on Xbox. But yeah, the moment I log in on Steam I’m instantly being killed by some fuckwad with a mod menu.
I played the story on PS3 back in 2013 then picked up the PAC version and only played online that time around. I did put about 200 hours in to it which is a lot for me, j probably have 4 or so games with that many hours or more.
If you’re looking for story it never got good, particularly because your protagonist is a silent insert with no supporting NPCs to carry it, but if you’re favourite part of story mode was the general exploration and open world stuff, it’s pretty good. I sometimes played with friends but I think 90% of the time I put in was mindless time wasting which it was good at, although I was a teenager and I’m not looking to waste time like that anymore. I also got into modding it in about 2017 and had a really good time with infinite money and cheating benevolently which probably got me an extra 100 hours of enjoyment out of it.
I think it had a golden age which you’ve missed. The first 6 weeks it was out, it was totally broken and then for maybe the first year and a half it was really low on content compared to story mode. Eventually the first wave of heists and tools and resources to support race / minigame makers came out too and that was a great era. Eventually though as players left more and more over time it was becoming more and more targeted at those few “whales” who were probably spending thousands on the game, with all content becoming inflated in cost to sell shark cards. By the time I dropped the game, it was practically impossible to progress without buying the digital currency, and any money exploits or cheater’s were gone, leaving only the destructive cheaters. I have no idea if this has got better I haven’t touched the game since maybe 2019.
Honestly it can be fun? For a few weeks at a time before I get bored and go do something else.
I will admit though GTAO is the only online game I’ve ever downloaded a mod menu for. I never touched the god mode or teleportation or any other parts of it. Just the money generation because fuck every single thing about the grind in that game that is designed to push you towards shark cards.
When you can buy whatever you want and the missions are purely for fun? Honestly yeah. I enjoy it. Last time I played, even though it wasn’t current, I mostly played with the nightclub.
Is there a way to safely give yourself money today with one of the mod menus? I got so tired of trying to sell my legitimate cars to get some money back with the stupid daily limit. It kept stopping me after two cars, then I couldn’t sell for a week at a time…
Duping the Arena Issi was the only reason I could ever enjoy the game. The grind was absolutely ridiculous. Once my character got wiped during the glitch where you could sell the cheapest property for the price of the most expensive one, I quit permanently. I’m not spending hours and hours and hours of grinding just to afford a single car.
Agreed, I dumped a lot of hours in that game’s grind and it’s marginally worth it at best. They seem to have loosened up the payouts lately (been playing on and off for the past year), but the real fun (VTOL jets, railgun tanks, subs, orbital lasers, etc.) is locked behind millions of funbucks, which are immensely difficult to accrue. Plus it’s infested with modders and cheaters at this point, so not using mod menus is relatively synonymous to shooting yourself in the foot before running a marathon…
I used to screw around with friends as The Panto Gang where we decked out pantos in the most ridiculous visual mods, and drove circles around people until they started trying to blow us up.
In 8 months, I put more time into gta online doing that than in the 9 years afterward.
Every day we played, we knew how the night was going to end.
At some point when it’s getting late, we’ll all be trying not to be the first one to say anything, then one person shoots another, it devolves into a half hour of free-for-all; explosions, probably literal tons of bullets, and when we all finally ran out of ammo and started beating each other to death with pool cues, bats, and police batons, the night would come to an end.
And then another half hour of talking while a few wandered around aimlessly in cars or sat on the dashboard.
Man I wish I fucking knew the context of this. Why did the guy come over in the first place? Where did the girl go? How did dude know instantly when he looked up at the guy while he was on his knee that he had to starch this fellow?
Dude in the orange attempted to rob them with mace. As he walks up you can see him grab something out of his pocket then put it in dudes face. Later you can see him spraying it at dude but he’s standing too far away.
The reality is that this game had consistently been the most popular game for over a decade now. So practically any exploit that could be in the code can and has been found. The source code is just a cool novelty to see how this game was developed at this point.
Yeah, but probably not on GP, due to the copyright… so there will be people doing cash grab asset swaps with ad for every time you move a meter, and obviously malware creators on the internet
Yes, they can, but it doesn’t mean they should, unless you wanna buy a new phone every few months, I’d know because I used to play Genshin on my phone.
