Is GTA Online Now FINALLY A Good Game?

I've been diving back into the depths of GTA Online, reassessing my previous critiques with a fresh perspective. After initially reviewing the game with a critical eye, my journey has led me to explore every nook and cranny of its expansive world, gaining new insights and understanding the nuances that have evolved over time. My previous views, shaped by countless hours of gameplay and challenges within the game's dynamic environment, are up for re-evaluation.
In this exploration, I delve into the modifications and updates that have transformed GTA Online since its earlier days. From security enhancements to gameplay tweaks, I unpack the improvements that have been made, as well as areas where it continues to fall short. My aim is to provide a balanced view of how the game stands today compared to my past experiences, highlighting both strides forward and ongoing issues.
As a seasoned player with a deep connection to the gaming community, I share my thoughts on what makes GTA Online both frustrating and fascinating. This isn't just about revisiting old grievances but also acknowledging where the developers have listened to feedback and made meaningful changes. Join me as I dissect these elements, offering a nuanced critique based on extensive hands-on experience.

As for having to add people as associates, you think it's a bigger problem than it is. If you're doing something in free mode, even prep, you need associates. If it's a job/mission, you can invite them directly to the job/mission, although your associates will be given the option to join any job/mission you start. I also thought it was funny how you always complained about the hard way to use snacks and armor instead of using the easy way the whole time (in the weapon wheel)

​@AcHaeC Why do missions have to be done with other people, though?

Personally I don't like to play missions with other people, especially when the other people aren't good at the game, so it's just constant failing and having to restart the mission and on top of that if you don't already have people to play with there is almost always a massive wait time in the mission lobby waiting for enough people to join the mission!!!

I think it's a terribly made online mode built on top of a game with great base game mechanics that suit online play really well. Speaking as someone with 3500+ hours spent in it I can say that a lot of them were just straight up pain, agony and repetition. If I wasn't autistic I probably couldn't stand the boring drives, repetitive grinding, poorly tacked on online mechanics and terrible menus at all.

i don't play with randoms anymore i only play with 1 friend of mine now i made a mistake of letting a friend mod 1 Bil onto my account back in 2019 was it ? the reason that was a mistake is it kinda kills the game theres nothing to grind for it's literally dont play the game for 90% of the year update comes out plays it literally done in a week in recent times they have been spacing out the content which i mean is cool? but in reality the whole content is barely 24 hours worth of gameplay

Coming from a car community point of view after gta+ and half of the games cars being locked away, it killed pretty much all the fun I had

[@tamoghnapal6619]

So yesturday there was a 500mb update in GTA 5. It was because Rockstar once again screwed up social club on PC. If you owned the game on Steam, you could occasionally be asked for a 'Steam Key', which you get the first time you launch the game. But entering the Steam Key just showed 'Key already activated', so you would essentially unable to play the game at all. The fix (for me) was to completely close out Steam and Rockstar Launcher, relogin to Rockstar launcher, restart steam and then launch the game, this would fix it. So yeah this was fixed yesturday, but Social Club is and always has been dumb.

[@jackaboy123]

Reaction videos are never good. Matt would never do this with any other content creator and for good reason, he's only reacting to this because it's his own content which gives him the right to do so because he already put the work into the video.

[@Yorick257]

Fun fact (at least it was for me): the dice puzzle is not a R* original, they use 3rd party plugin/API for it. Which probably explains why it is required even if you have 2-factor auth. First you do the 3d-party stuff and THEN R* takes over.

[@DakotaWolf666]

I honestly think it they went back and made the original 4 player heists only require 2 players it would honestly be good enough The biggest issue with the original heists is just getting 4 reliable good people and it's kind of questionable if anything would be lost by cutting 2 roles Like in the prison heist for example 2 people go into the prison and 1 person flies a plane around and another flies a military helicopter to defend the plane. You could easily cut the plane and helicopter roles and nothing would change Or in the bank heist, 2 people run crowd control and 2 people go into the vault, you could easily just have 1 person on each

[@puzzlefischer1205]

there's basically no way to circumvent Prison Break to be 2P, as it's the only heist with >2 different roles (as in actual different roles that're assigned to completely different tasks, not like Series A Funding's "lookout (south)" and "lookout (north)"), and no, Pacific Standard's hacker and demolition don't really count, as they can indeed be merged into 1 role; Humane Labs Raid should be relatively fine, as you can easily merge ground team and gunner into 1 role and just have another pilot; Series A Funding should also be relatively fine, but the catch should be that if played in 2P there'd only be 1 truck (although that'd still render the technical useless), you'd just need some more micro SMG bullets and as such, all the other apartment heists **should** be eligible to be redesigned for both 2P and 4P without really altering and/or dumbing down the total amount and variety of tasks, except Prison Break

[@DakotaWolf666]

@@puzzlefischer1205 what I'm saying is just have the plane sitting there at the airstrip in the 2p version of the heist and if you really care about solving the prison bus "plot hole" you could just have both players steal it on the heist, drive it to where the previously stolen bus is hidden, destroyed it and then take the old bus to the prison

[@puzzlefischer1205]

@@DakotaWolf666 wouldn't that count as dumbing down game mechanics, as you're basically cutting down nearly half (evade jet, protect plane) of the tasks? although the military sending out fighter jets to destroy the plane doesn't make even a lick of sense logic-wise (what "air control" was Agent 14 talking about? how did they know this ordinary-looking plane is heading towards the prison? how does this warrant calling Fort Zancudo and requesting jet fighters since normally even flying directly over the prison only gives you 3 stars?) , it's indeed a game mechanic that's already in the heist

[@DakotaWolf666]

@@puzzlefischer1205 I wouldn't consider it to be "dumbing down the game mechanics" because to me it always felt like 2 of the roles on the 4 player heists were kind of forced because they "needed to make the heists 4 player" and like you said you could just not have the military send in air support because it really doesn't make much sense canonically

23:18 The reason you can't explore it in freemode because it would kill the whole idea of the heist. Its a private island with armed guards, when you gather Intel for the heist you are pretending to be a smuggler and even then, you can't get caught in the wrong places. It would make absolutely no sense for you to sneak onto the island to rob it and then 5 minutes later be able to go and freely explore it in freemode without

[@nemesisnidhoggr1468]

34:00 this is much harder problem than you think. If you been moved to another session, that means you did a job, that puts you in a closed "mission instance". The place that is separated from online. If you want the game to leave you in session you was in - that means game has to reserve your place in lobby. Maximum lobby size is 25 people. Now imagine out of these 25 people, lets say 16 (4 full groups) decided to do some sort of missions, that puts them in "closed instances". Their characters leave lobby, join mission, doing mission, but their place is reserved in online lobby. That means that other 9 people in lobby left alone. Because no new players can join untill those 16 complete their missions or leave the game. So i understand why rockstar removes you from the lobby you were when you start closed instance missions. It's so new players can join that lobby and it wont be empty. Obviously for closed sessions or friend only sessions that shouldnt be case. This is where they should improve

Idk if I commented on the original video, but the only reason I played GTA Online that much and continue to play it, is the free roam. I love the drive, I love chilling with players, I love helping players who are trying to do some free roam activites, I love engaging in savage pvp, all of that. The free roam part of GTA Online is the very reason why RP servers are that active, "aimlessly" chilling in the world with a big objective in mind, but not always trying to achieve this objective. Exactly like there is a ton of people who just slack in MMORPG, aimlessly running and jumping in the capitals, but accepting pretty much all invitations to duel or when a PvP group of another faction come near, engaging against them. I'm rich since the very beginning of GTA O, the crew challenge exploit made me 5 bils before I stopped doing it, so the money was absolutely always pointless for me. Helping people leveling up and getting their money was what I always did, and still continue to do. Even now, using a mm myself mostly because you can't play in public session without a anti crash and anti kick mm, and also because it divide loading time by almost 2, I still continue to play normally among other things I do thanks to the mm, like creating custom maps for custom gamemodes that we love with some friends (manhunt kind of modes, where everyone is off radar except those in your organisation, and there is an org that play police and another one that play thieves). We're considering switching to an AltV server for this kind of gamemodes tho, GTA Online quickly become very limited and too reliant on players fairplay for that. That being said, GTA O only issue for me is the loading times. Too many times I refused to do an activity because it means waiting for minutes, back in the days, before being able to play. Now it's better, but still not close to FiveM/AltV minigames servers at all.

[@caliqm2199]

I agree that Matto was too harsh on the open world aspect of Online. Unlike some other GTA youtubers from the past like Vanoss,Matto never really had the chance to have fun just wandering around doing random shit and enjoying the free roam with friends. Which is quite a shame.

@@caliqm2199 It really is! That's the fun part of GTA O. So much memories, drifting aimlessly while listening to Non Stop by a rainy night only lightned up by the occasionnal thunder, only to mess up a drift and end up killing a player that was just there. Writing "sorry" in chat, talking a bit, and ending up 2 hours later in the final of a heist. Congrats, you just discovered a new friend. So much people I still talk to, still play with to GTA O or other games, it's a fantastic social game imo. Better than most MMORPGs I played.

16:00 i definitely agree about the sessions. Just last friday, i made an invite only session with 4 friends, we went to do one race, and then the game kicked us all into different open sessions, 2 of them got instantly force teleported out of their home and griefed by a mod menu user, blowing everyone in the lobby up the moment they respawn, thus stopping them from using the escape menu to join a different session. They had to alt f4 and completely reboot the game, in story mode, while i made another invite lobby.

You only need to invite friends to a Securo Serve if it’s a free mode mission.

My favorite theory about when GTA Online takes place is after the Single Player, but it's all a movie being made by Michael.

Damn I love the editing on this one

[@laytonlewin29]

17:49 associates of mc and CEO is helpful for sell missions bc some sell missions give u 3-4 vehicles which would take very long on ur own so with more people it’s quicker and the owner still gets the same amount

[@frankejk]

44:08 this is the funniest editing joke ive seen. genuinely made me burst out laughing

[@TaccRaccoon]

I remember playing online a lot back in 2013-2016 then I took a break for years and when I came back it was overwhelming

[@brendancurry9808]

17:00 I always use the lester heist notification to get to my apartment lol

[@ronane8117]

[@rizones2286]

[@PeanusButter]

[@hundredvail]

GTA Online the best redemption arc, ish

[@steezys.]

With the Cluckin' Bell farm raid new players will have no troubles making milions while owning nothing

[@patrikmatousek5450]

Also I have to mention that the dices "minigame" verification is more complex. It tracks your speed of writing and mistakes and other. For example you type one letter every second, this is suspicious, get verified. In other case you type in random intervals and even type a wrong letter, then the system probably thinks you're human and therefore no verification. I can't be sure about it but I know that captcha on websites works like this, so I assume it very likely works in R* launcher the same

[@Ash.taka3]

This style of editing is great 😂😂

[@mohammedkebab]

17:45 You only need to make people associates for stuff that doesn’t put you into another session. A way to notice this, (as you said) is the stuff that has that menu you showed changes your session.

[@Tatman2TheResQ]

Loved the initial rant, and appreciate the follow-up. I enjoyed my time with GTA Online off and on for the first 4 years. But I don't like the grind, lack of singleplayer DLC, how long it's taken for GTA6, etc. Not that it makes a difference, but I just can't touch it anymore.

[@lolcatzidk]

There is a teleport button, at least for Apartments and Facilities for the respective heists. Still limited but it’s there

[@leofoster6231]

In my experience in this game if you have a good crew perferably with 2 people, you can make crazy money with big con, artwork, and drills on diamond casino heist. Me and my friend made at least 250 mil in 2 weeks by grinding. The trick is just have 1 person hack and the other one loot so when the hacker is done he can get whatever artwork is closest and then drill for the last minute. I think our highest take (without cuts included) was like 4.2 mil.

[@iGhxsts]

i think just easily explained is that for anything that is still in the freeroam world they need to be an associate, anything with a menu you can just invite without associate

[@galo9572]

i loved the bank teller bit, please do more shit like that. Comparing online captcha and tests to real life has a kick to it I quite enjoyed.

[@aleksaa24]

30:46 TBH I hope gta 6 has MORE open world/freemode stuff to do, like missions, heists, maybe races or other content as well in freemode without loading screens and such as long as they make it harder for people to grief you, maybe make like sticky bombs where you can carry 5 max the power ceiling of what u can do, maybe a regular RPG/minigun or an Insurgent with a minigun on top is alright as well. Basically I want FiveM roleplay server done on a professional level but like without rules. At least make "high power" and "low power" sessions if you want to keep flying bikes and military jets in the game.

[@eusoumaniaco]

what made me give up on online as a pc player was the chop shop dlc adding an interaction menu to remotely organize garages *for console only*. felt like being spat on in the face by the devs for daring to play on pc.

[@callbettersaul]

Lmao I love that cat clip at 22:12

[@lachlanbrowne3716]

I have a short, you might want to make. So I was replaying the mission marriage counselling, and I realise you can call any number and during the part where the caravan park in front of the way it won’t set the weigh point, and it will keep the red dot

[@lachlanbrowne3716]

PS. Pls make him notice this

[@Jane-qh2yd]

DarkViperAU is just a react streamer now. Bet he never even asked the original creator for permission

[@savagepanda8458]

Locking previously free to obtain cars behind a paywall and releasing half-assed, buggy missions says no.

[@Xancisco]

My nephews recently got the game and it’s been fun running through all the heists

[@akirajkr]

47:15 Another thing that deeply irritates me about Social Club(besides the fact I see no benefit to the end user for it to BE), is that if you have MULTIPLE Rockstar games installed, and they DARE update the Launcher, you are forced to individually download that Launcher update for every single game you have installed. You can't simply download the launcher ONCE. You're just casually strolling on your Steam Library and--OH MY GOD 4 ROCKSTAR UPDATES, all of the same size, what could it possibly be!? But seriously, even EA and other companies figured it out: Require the ACCOUNT, not the launcher.
