The Paradox of Freedom in GTA Online

[@jommunicator]

A few things cleared up: 1. Grinding in video games is not a bad thing. My point in this video is that in GTA Online, Rockstar has continued to move the goal post as far as wealth goes and what that does is make it so players spend more time trying to catch up through grinding, than actually enjoying the freedom that this game is supposed to offer. I don’t think you should have to put in 9-5 hours to have fun. 2. It’s fine if you’re into grinding the game all the time. I am too. I used to hop in my buzzard and play trash talk for 10 hours a day. 3. Yes I snitched on my friend. No I’m not proud of it. 😞 I was a salty 11-12 year old. We’re still friends today at age 22.

[@RetroPlus]

I am one of those early OG players who accidentally ran over a player that had a billion dollar bounty, when i got the money i cried because i thought Rockstar was going to ban my account. So i bought everything i could and just enjoyed the game awaiting the inevitable, and low and behold about a month later Rockstar sent a message apologising for the inconvenience, and a gift of $500,000 in game dollars. Early GTA Online was a great time.

[@FrezzaArmy]

I thought real money good for clearing that up 🤡

[@Mr.Kachersky]

I’m glad to see someone else sees the whole problem with the content being added for “free”. Sure we don’t have to buy DLC content just to access it, but it’s free at the cost of either grinding for hours or spending real money for shark cards. It’s free with a catch Edit: holy shit the point flew over so many of your heads it’s actually laughable, if you don’t get my comment, you don’t get the video 💀

[@mattschwartz7583]

I tend to play GTAO once a year and that is when snow is on the map. I can’t do the grind anymore. I’m an adult working adult hours. GTA IV was perfect. They need a classic Freemode with weapon pick ups.

[@Canleaf08]

I used to locked myself into a invite only session and used to roam around to travel later to Los Angeles Irl to see what was parodied in real. I think it’s time to say goodbye to 5. It had a great run. The snow was great at the end of the year. I got it running on linux. With recent decisions on BattleEye, I can’t play that world no longer. I do not think that I will get 6 to run well.

[@BLET_55artem55]

There are weapon pick-ups in GTA 5 and Online bruh. They're just extremely random

[@DonDeLem]

GTA IV was very fun for its time, but it was also very barebones. Anything that can be done in GTA IV can also be done in GTA V without spending any money. The money is needed to buy businesses, apartments, and new cars, none of which existed in GTA IV online.

[@sehbiii]

The FiveM purchase was not an innocent "let me support our community" move by rockstar. Instead of competing with FiveM, rockstar bought them and made the devs lives a complete nightmare leading to some of the OG founders of FiveM to quit. It's almost as if they just bought them to kill them since that would cost less than if rockstar tried to actually compete and produce a product better than FiveM. Lazy and scummy. This paved way for rockstar to introduce their own unique style of missions for GTA Online like the Pizza delivery mission. Rockstar promised to give the FiveM team lots of support and that this merge would benefit both them and rockstar, however rockstar seemed to have had other plans once the deal actually went through.

But at least it ended somewhat well for the dev team of FiveM. Rockstar has always had an antagonistic view to modding even for singleplayer. Look at the cease and desist for OpenIV from a few years ago. Rockstar regularly goes after modders to discourage singleplayer, and encourage people to get on regular GTAO to spend money on Shark Cards.

@@crazycar4015 No, individual servers offering subscriptions & such like Garry’s Mod servers. Nevertheless, I do agree with you. I don’t personally play FiveM but I’m glad it the modded community was recognized & “rewarded” if you could call it that. Instead of them just putting the hammer down on it. They realized how much of an opportunity it is, like you said single player mods are not profitable for R*. What I was saying though, they could have easily put a stop to it if they wanted.

[@gplgs4640]

I’m still surprised by Rockstar’s response to FiveM eclipsing their own official product in popularity was to… buy and embrace its features. Any other AAA game company would’ve sent a crippling Cease & Desist the moment that FiveM started catching up to GTAO’s numbers and shot the entire operation down without a second thought. With Rockstar’s decision to instead look at FiveM and decide to take notes from its successes, it’s just them proving that they’re still setting standards on what the rest of the gaming industry should be doing.

Meanwhile GTA Online in 2024:

[@MrToastyman900]

The evolution of gta online kind of mirrors your characters progression/”growing up”. You start out young and free without responsibilities and a dream. And as your character grows and ages in sync with the games content and updates, you advance in your criminal career and get more responsibility/different priorities to keep your new lifestyle going. In due time you’re so far up the ladder that the fall will kill you, meaning that you have to stay focused on making money to fund your empire. Which in a way is a very well thought out role reversal to what the game makes fun of during both story mode and online gameplay. It’s kind of like growing up in real life and realizing the effort and responsibility an adult life takes compared to when you were a kid. I grew up as a young teen playing GTA 5/Online and am now an adult with my own business etc. So this perspective makes perfect sense in my eyes.

Honestly the oppressor messed the game up for me. It’s like as soon as I kill a player on foot and drive away they never wanna actually play the game, instead hop on that damn oppressor and kill me over and over again 10 times. Point I’m saying is nobody plays the damn game anymore. And it’s difficult to get money and I’m not spending $100 for 10 million. And plus you can’t even get anything, maximum one big purchase with 10 mil maybe have 2 mil left.

I agree with all of that, but if you "want" all the luxury things or oppressors something like that grinding it's the BARE MINIMUM. It just takes you to play the game and don't be bad; you can literally open the in game phone and enter in an heist or cayo perico lobby whenever you want and make some friends and ask them if they can give you some money or something. I'm a day one player that used to sell pedestrian vehicles at the Los Santos customs back in 2013, now with ONE heist you can have a car, a rocket launcher, a del perro mansion (200k), ammunition like bro wtf.

I did come from PAYDAY 2 to GTA Online in 2016. 2016-2020 were the good times. Made a lot of friends with this game and many moved on. I wouldn't change a thing. Gosh, I miss the PAC Standard grinds and Doomsday Finale runs. You'd be surprised how a decent team or people willing to socialize and work together can earn cash through heists rather than MC Businesses and CEO Grinds. Your skills and cash matters, your friends DO matter, not some player level or gear level. Then again, How time flies. Every other MMO-RPG (god knows I tried FF14, ESO, BDO. fuck them), or Online Based 'Looter X-Y-Z' game won't hold a candle to GTA Online. Despite the complaining about grinding doing the same cayo perico or 'business sales', it's funny that people make it un-fun for themselves. Oh, and FiveM scene is a joke. I wonder what happened to SAMP and MTA..

My character arrived in Los Santos with nothing and worked his way to the top by either robbing a submarine or cayo perico and then closing the game before it saved the heist being complete

Good to hear someone else couldn't get the game because of what the gamestop employee said to our parents when we tried to buy it

bought a menu (Stand), bought myself all the stuff available etc, currently sitting at 8000lvl, maxed stats, awards and achievements and got about 600 million in bank, thank God I did that before the anticheat implementation so I can enjoy chilling in the lobbies instead of grinding for the newest car etc., cheers

First played this game on ps3. Than we were remodeling the helicopter barracks on fort Riley and I found a perfect GTA 5 disc sitting on top the trash in this dumpster out front of the barracks. It was for Xbox one. I still have it. Never got into the online. I play GTA for the story missions

[@LowEndPCGamer100]

just got my gta online buddies into SAMP, and were never going back!
