When did you reach boredom’s-end with GTA5 Online?

I played this game, got super-into it, etc. did all kinds of missions/events/free-roam etc.

Long story short I’ve reached a multi-crossroads (so to speak) of boredom, not being able to get the sums of money that WOULD prolly keep me playing for a bit to buy new vehicles and screw around, near-impossible missions (plus issues with playing with randoms), and some other stuff.

I dunno; it’s mostly boredom though. Of load times/screens were 90% faster, might be different. If the gage engine were overvalued to add totally-new interaction/etc, I dunno.

I see some people at levels 300-8000. My good God, what exactly did you do with all of your time that it took to reach those levels?

Also, gotta say, GTA5 has the very worst, profane, vulgar, hostile group of people ever.

Not to me ruin obvious 9-10 year-olds playing (heck; parents prolly liked how cheap the game was), literally not knowing how to perform actions in the game, friend someone, or a number of other things. And not my concern, but nine year olds playing THIS game are going to grow up screwed up.

And then literal phone-harassment from LJT about that stupid dumb cash factory.

Mandatory 2-4 person missions (not everyone is a middle-schooler on summer vacation with four BFFs to game with).

And honestly AI that just says “F*** you!” during misc supply missions... ugh, not to mention the Karumas that appear out of thin air and chase you through oncoming traffic and over rocks and streams.

This game is a royal sh*t-show, in many ways and at many “levels.” What was my ultimate “nail-in-the-coffin” tipping point? I sourced a car to steal (this one was one where you gotta take out like 10-15 high-level NPCs to get the key). Anyway, I got on a building and pulled out sniper with zoom scope... I saw on radar where the enemy was, and yet what I zoomed into was Buckley’s coming out of thin air. I shot, cannoned, RPG’d everything.

That’s it for me; NPC enemies that shoot bullets at you yet are not rendered on screen. Epic Fail. Rockstar is a joke. I can understand when this gane cane out in 2013 why it was amazing and revolutionary, but by 2018 standards it actually sucks.

Now hey if it wasn’t a little fun I wouldn’t have spent the time I did with it, but it has run its course.

25% of their satire/humor is freaking brilliant. 50% is silly/stupid, and the remaining 25% screams that Rockstar wants attention. They crosssed the line with some stuff.

And I don’t want go “there,” but the game’s AfricanAmerican standard figurine is a guy with white zombie eyes and dreads. Then 80% of players dress in full-body psycho-suits.

And just yesterday, a random’s voice of a 8-10 year-old boy, high and squeaky: “heeylow anybody hawve a mwike? I nweed suhmwun to help me sell my coke. Cawn anybawdy hewp me sell ma cocaine? Pweeze?”

God help America.

TLDR; I’m finished; about 150-200 actual hours (maybe much less actually), leveled to about 100... done, bored, frustrated, pissed-off. And fundamentally, the game is a combination of three things: freaking out about your in-gane finances, trying to avoid getting shot-up by another player for no reason, and buying stuff of which maybe 10% you actually ever use.

Gameplay itself is about three things: duck behind cement barriers conveniently always the exact height of a fake player in your video game, buy ammo, and spend 90-95% of your gaming in transit on road, sea, air, or a loading screen.

What/when was your breaking-point?

I liked car races on my 360 game, but not enough to ever upgrade to a current X1X version

Pretty fast played some heist missions and death matches probably a few weeks. I put more hours into the singleplayer then the online I rather have DLC singleplayer over no online completely.

I think I had roughly 150 hours too. Truthfully, it's a great game if you have a crew to play with, not so much fun by yourself.

I am not really into online gaming anymore. I get bored of them after a couple hours.

I don’t like repeating the same thing over and over again.

Based on sales would argue few have grown bored.

I however am one of the rare people who never bought or played Grand Theft Auto V. Sandbox genre in general isn't my preference.

After playing Red Dead Redemption I found modern Rockstar games to heavily focus on third person shooting, while the game isn't doing a great job at that. And better focused on being a open bag of ideas and concepts, which surely is the reason people enjoy it. Much like The Witcher 3 it combat is pretty underwhelming, yet is a complete package of sorts. Especially in the story and open world department_

Couldn't personally enjoy any individual aspect of Red Dead so Rockstar games seemed a no-brainer to avoid.

I never played online but I got halfway through the main campaign and got sick of it. The game got too repetitive for me. Characters were a good combo though.

I got bored quickly because it is way to hard to make good amounts of money quickly in the game without hacking or glitching into the server. Yes you can buy hangers and weed farms ext to make money but the process is to long and way to much effort. The hiests should pay out more and there should be more characters and variety. I wish there were certain things added to the game like less campaign

I hope the next GTA is better and makes some more improvements

I mostly agreed with OP's points but the real dealbreaker for me was how grindy it got the last few years.

It pushes you way too much to buy shark cards and that just kills it for a lot of people.

This. I never played online and only got half way through the main story. Likewise for all the other GTAs. I don't think I've complete a single one but I've played them all.

Don't feel bad OP, GTA online is designed to get you to spend money on shark cards. When you remember that and that you haven't bought them, you should feel better. It's a sunk cost. Move on.

GTA online is never boring considering the amount of extra content Rockstar has put into it.

Also just to be clear no one over level 750 is legit, they are either modders or had a close encounter with a modder.
