GTA Online: Lost its spark..?

This game has potential, but R* have taken too many wrong turns in they way things have gone. I still enjoy this type of game and with a few friends makes for a very enjoyable ime. It hasn't completely lost its spark, it just needs a big enough spark to
start the fire again.

I agree 100% @synklare.

When I first got this game, I thought it was going to be better than san andreas because before the game came out, they talked about san andreas, and said it was going to have a bigger map and all this stuff. got the game, found out I can only have 1 garage,
first time ever in history, money is hard to keep in a gta game, and you go online, its like they want you to think you are better off just paying them for the money instead of doing the missions that pay so little.

I see volley ball courts, and cant play them, basket ball courts, what the heck happen to bowling? why do I only have the option to play golf and tennis? and who plays arm wrestling??

and this heist thing that's "coming out", I am sure, even if it did come out, the money will be like 20,000 and more work to the mission than rooftop rumble. aint not body got time for that

GTAO doesn't offer any form of longevity, once you hit level 120, you no longer unlock anything. You're then stuck with doing missions to earn poor income, racing or death-matches, you could just go around killing people in free roam but all you would
get is some whiner heading to a forum to ramble on about people killing them for no reason. R* are idiots to be honest, they offer you the ability to purchase in-game currency and realistically there isn't much to do with that money. Sure, you can buy a car
and customize it, you can purchase an apartment, get a haircut and buy some new threads but it becomes incredibly boring after a while. R* should have focused more on the money side of things, not for their Micro-Transactions, but because it'd give players
more things to strive for. Being able to customize your apartment would be a start. I remember at the beginning of GTAO, me and my pal scraped up enough cash to buy apartments. He had more cash than me, so he purchased an expensive apartment, I bought the
one next to him for a lot less. We were livid when we found out our apartments interiors looked exactly the same, especially as he'd spent more. I'm not in my apartment enough to care about the view from the window. Heists were delayed for far too long, they
won't bring players back by the bulk when they're released and they will not add any longevity to the game whatsoever.

I am sure a lot of people still play this game because there is not really any other game out there that is like it that I know of. it could be better as I have always said. the story mode was better than online in my opinion, there was just more there.
seems to me that rockstar wanted us to go exploring or something in this game, and I can actually live with that. I like the sims, and fallout, so I can dig that, but this is gta. this heist that is suppose to be coming out, I am expecting it to be explosive
awesome, if not, I wasted a lot of time waiting for it. I would say though, 1 thing that I absolutely loved about gta5 though. 2 cars. the feltzer, and the jester. I wish they would add more cars like that, or at least give us more customized stuff to add
to cars that are in the game to look like that. to be honest though, im not all that excited for the heist, what I want to know is when are we going to be getting the houses and mansions. I do mission after mission helping people to get money, and here I am
with all this money, and nothing to spend it on

I can be mad at whomever I like? People who entertained the money exploits in the game grew in numbers due to constant nerfing of mission payouts and ways to make a decent amount of cash. Taking away the replay feature was pointless, why prevent people
from replaying a mission that they enjoy doing? I don't condone it whatsoever, but if R* hadn't tried to push their shark cards on everybody, the problem wouldn't have been so big and could have been dealt with easier. I have looked online, I actually posted
a thread regarding heists and other information regarding the purchase of mansions / properties, you can find the link in the thread. Six months to wait for something which had been shown to be in the game from the start is plain wrong, so yeah they had BETTER
be worth the wait. If they carry on, they'll end up being as bad as Blizzard. I'll admit that R* have been generous with three of their updates, considering they were completely free and added extras to the game, that was nice of them on their part but what
else can they really do when their player count is dropping and people are beginning to find GTA boring due to the hard lack of longevity in the game? Still, kudos to them for their generosity.
